WOULD BENEFIT
CARTHAGE CITY
Change of Railroad Route May Be
Accomplished Before
Long.

Carthage Correspondence Burlington
Hawk-Eye: An enterprise which is
being discussed at Carthage and which
may be carried to the point Ct active
effort, is that of having the Toledo,
Peoria and Western carry ts trains
around by Carthage from Ferris to
Elvaston. passing en- route a little
grain and stock station called Mccall.
The Carthage and Quincy branch OF
the Burlington runs through Ferris to
Carthage and south to Quincy The
Wabash railway crosses this track at
kuk joining the Toledo. Peoria, and
Western line at Elvaston. The prop
osition is for the passenger trains of
the latter road to abandon the stretch
of track through Mccall and to trans
fer to the Burlington track at Ferris,
run south to Carthage and thence west
over the Wabash to Elvaston. resum-
ing its regular course west The To
ledo, Peoria and Western owns the
track from Evasion to Keo'-uk and
WARSAW. ne w dtdSI ONHS Ilt L.dCk
to Elvaston. 1t is believed the rental
of the Wabash track from Carthage to
Elvaston by the Toledo, Peoria and
Western would be Offset by what the
Wabash now pays the Toledo. Peoria
and Western for the use of it; track
from Elvaston to Keokuk. AS the west
ern half OF the latter line is owned
by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
the running OF the Toledo, Peoria and
Western trains over the Burlington
tracks from Ferris to Carthage would
(. be merely a matter of train dispatch
in, and not one of extra cost. The
change of route would increase the
mileage of the Toledo, Peoria and
Western passenger trains about five
miles, bit it would add one Of the best
county seats in Illinois to its list of
cities.
