Mr.. Picking wants the Mexico
public and Audrain county to
take stock in his road to the amount
of $54, 900. He asks no bonus or
donations in any respect. His Of

stated that this line in no manner

could work in perfect harmony.

The Perry Enterprise said last
week:
Hon. s. l.. Robinson, promoter
of the Electric Railroad between
Perry and Mexico, via Santa Fe
and Molino, was in Perry last

notice to our people, a good sized
crowd of men interested in seeing
the road run into Perry, assembled
at the Opera House S. G. Gill
acted as temporary chairman. Mr..
Robinson asked that the people
show a disposition on their part to
have the road run into Perry, and
also he would like for the Perry
people to secure the right-of-
from the Monroe county line into
Perry A great many expressed
their desire to see the road built
into Perry. A motion was made
to perfect an organization, and
S. G. Gill was elected permanent

tary. A guarantee was made to
secure the right-of-way, aud the
following committee was appointed

F. ID. Barr, j. NJ. Davis, w. NJ.

MOTHER ELECTRIC LINE.
To Be Built to Mexico
From Cedar Rapids, la.
An Agent Here Last Week
Who Talked The Matter
Over With Our Business
Men and Made Il PROPOSE
ton.


Audrain county has a chance to
secure a second line of electric rail
way.
w. G. Picking of Memphis,
Mo-, was here last week and in a
conference with a number of our
business men at Elk's Hall told of
proposition he has to extend a
line from his town down this way
thru Macon to Paris with Mexico
as the south terminus.
At the business meeting referred
to VIM. Pollock was make chair
man and r. r, Arnold, Jr., secre-
tary.
Mr.. Picking went into his plan
fully, and in addition gave the
following to the press:
Mexico will be the southern
terminus of the road and Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, the northern one.
The contract for the necessary ma
terials to construct it from Fair
field, Iowa, to Memphis, a dis
tance of 50 miles, has been let and
all preliminary surveys completed.
1t will cost, when finished, in the
neighborhood of $28, 100 per mile,
and tho an inter urban line, it will
differ from the usual road Of th at
description in that it will pass thru
country where no steam line is
and will not only carry small par
cells but also mail and freight of
every description.
I'VE are making it a rule to fol-
low, wherever it is possible, the
country roads, thereby not cutting
up the farms, and making it more
convenient to all. The expense of
building the line in this county
will be nearly $4,000, the line
being 19 miles in length. The
right of way costs something like
a 81, 600 per mile, or $4,000 for
Audrain, with $4,000 for con-
struction, We do not ask for do
nations bat that the cost be taken
in preferred stock bearing 6 per
cent, interest and redeemable in
ten years.
THE power is furnished by the
Des Moines river at Keosawqua,
Iowa, where two plants with an
emergency steam plant in case OF
low water or some unknown trou.
BILE arising that would make the
use of the river for short time
impossible are to be built Th'
plant will cost $50O,O00 and mus
] be divided between every county
that the line passes thru.
5 From Memphis to this city thr
distance is 81 miles. and at .,
I place where we have talked the
matter over have we met witha any.
: thing but the heartiest co-opera
tin. From Fairfield 70 Memphis
we have lighting and power eop+
tracts in almost every city thru
which we pass and expect to con,
time this practice over the entiri
route
THE grade is not to exceed IL
per cent, and the road is to b
constructed with 40 pound rail.
