GAINESVILLE Boosting Interurbsn Line
to St. Joe.

Since their coal mines have been
opened GAINESVILLE has been talking
of a southern railroad outlet from
that town, as it is now located at the
end of the Des Moines and GAINESVILLE
branch of the Burlington, and a big
meeting was held on Monday of last
railroad fever is running pretty high
just now and GAINESVILLE boosters
have already subscribed for $4,000
worth of bonds in the proposed in
terurban. The Cainsville News has
the following account of the meet
ing:
GAINESVILLE needs a railroad outlet
to the south and wants it 80 badly
that she is willing to put up lot of
good hard cash to get it. For years
and years the proper development of
this part of the country has been
held back by the lack of railroad
connections to the south, fact
which this paper has frequently
pointed out.
Just how to get this railway con-
nection is question yet unsolved.
A trolly was talked of a number of
years ago as was an extension of this
road to Pattonsburg, an indepen-
dent line to Trenton, Mo-, and pos
sibly others, but nothing came Of
these propositions.
The finding of our large coal de-
posts and the opening of the larg-
est mine between the Mississippi
river and the Rocky Mountains has
changed the old conditions of things
such connection as is mentioned
above be made before this part of
the country can reach it's fullest de-
velOpment
Actuated by desire to start the
ball rolling and propose some plan
that promised the fulillment of
these long cherished hopes, Cains-
ville's Commercial Club held a rous-
ing meeting Monday night in the Of
fee of the GAINESVILLE Investment Co.,,
at which the question of a southern
outlet was discussed.
Mr.. S. D. Chamberlain, of St. Joe,
was present and made rousing
speech upon the subject and pro-
posed that the cheapest, best and
most feasible manner of securing
such an outlet was by means of an
interurban from GAINESVILLE to St..
Joseph. The speaker pointed out the
untold advantages such a line would
bring to the towns and country
through which it would pass and ex-
pressed the conviction that St. JOS
eph would give substantial financial
assistance and that the farmers along
the route would do their full share
in giving right-of-way to secure the
line. He suggested that as soon as
the route was surveyed and the
right-of-way secured that bonds
could be sold to put on the rolling
stock which is undoubtedly correct.
If sufficient interest in the project
can be aroused among the people and
towns along the line between here
and St. Joseph, company will be
formed, a charter taken out, the
line surveyed and active steps for
beginning the active work of con-
struction taken.
Cainsville's Commercial Club in
yites correspondence from interested
parties and commercial clubs be-
tween here and St. Joseph.
