Interest is Growing in GAINESVILLE
ChillicOthe Railroad.

Active preparations are going
ahead for the proposed new railroad
from GAINESVILLE to ChillicOthe, Mo.
The Chillicothe Constitution of last
week has the following account of
meeting held at Trenton, Mo-, in the
interest of the proposed road:
G. F. Adams, Joe Wallbrunn, A. B.
Macdonald, B. V. Gill, w. H. Elicit,
c. L. Waite, r. L. sherwood and A.
Lowenstein, composed a delegation
from the Chamber of Commerce
which went to Trenton Tuesday at
ternoon and met a delegation from
the Trenton Commercial club in the
office of Attorney A. G. Knight. The
purpose of the meeting was to dis
cuss plans of having the proposed
railroad constructed from GAINESVILLE,
Mo-, to Chillcothe. The meeting
was a very enthusiastic one and in
teresting talks were made. Before
adjournment, it was decided to hold
meeting in Farmersville at 2:30
O'Clock Thursday afternoon, Aug. 81.
H. kilbourn of the Mt. Moriah
commercial club, and Fred Morck, Of
Warren, Pa, who is developing the
coal fields around GAINESVILLE at Mt.
Moriah, were in attendance and told
the delegation of the coal output in
that section Of Missouri. There is
an abundance of coal in this section"
said Mr.. Morck. There is an end
less chain of coal here and the output
will never give out and if we find an
outlet for the coal, Missouri will have
one of the best coal fields in the
= United States"
The right-of-way has been donated
by the farmers from GAINESVILLE to
Trenton and as it is absolutely a
local enterprise, the Chillicothe and
Trenton people ask the cooperation
of the farmers along the old Trenton
Chillicothe road grade to give their
assistance in securing this enterprise
as it will mean an outlet from the
north through Chillicothe on soutL
to the south line of the state and
later on to the Gulf
Mr.. Mork stated at the meeting
Tuesday night that if the people
would donate the right-of-way, he
could secure capitalists in the east
who would come here and look over
the situation ard in all probabilities
would furnish the capital to build
the road. The company at Warren,
Penn, which is backing Mr. Morck in
development of the coal mines near
GAINESVILLE and Mt. Moriah, has spent
over 100000 in developing the
mines and the company now has the
machinery in place and ready to be-
gin work.
This will be one of the greatest
boosts for Chllicothe that it has
ever had said business man, We'd
nesday. THE connection from
GAINESVILLE with Chillicothe will make
this city distributing point, as It
has three railroads and the territory
along the proposed right-of-way
should work for the securing of this
enterprise as it not only means much
to the city, but to the country, also. :"
A cordial invitation is extended to
the farmers to attend the meeting at
Farmersville on the afternoon of
August 81 and take up the question
with the business men.

the Waubonsie much study, has dug
