Tile lOLH ulC. FIllluOlS anu MlSSOuTl
investors yesterday acquired con-
troll of the Williamsville, Green
vile & st. Louis Railroad and the
Holiday Land & Lumber Co.
The transaction involving about
ST. 900, 900, was managed by j. w.
Perry of the st. Louis National
Bank of Commerce. The new in
terests intend to develop the iron
industry of Wayne county and
they declare that the Wayne dis
trict promises to rival the Joplin.
They have 1000 acres of land,
most Of it situated in Wayne
county, and arrangements are be-
ing made by investors in st. Louis,
Kansas City, Muncie and LaFay-
cite, Ind, to open two or three adj
ditionnl blast furnaces at Green
vile. Lafayette and Muncie syn
dicates headed by E.. j. Burton of
La Fayette have several furnaces
in operation, and it was due chiefly
to the success attending their work
that the syndicate was organized
yesterday to secure the railroad
and land companies. The new
owners propose building an ex-
tension Of the railroad from Hiram,
the present terminus, to the Mis-
sissippi river. The improvement
will, they expect, reduce the price
of coal. The railroad is about
forty-eight miles long. 1t is said
that the opening Of the additional
furnaces will probably increase
the population of Greenville four
or Ave times"
