The proposition of having q road
running direct from Galveston, Texas
to Winnipeg, Canada, was discussed
in Columbus Monday afternoon. An
organization had already been perfect
ed in Kansas, to be known as the Mer-
idian Road Association of Kansas, and
q similar association for Nebraska was
organized here. The idea is to have
an organization to build and MAINTAIN
an interstate road across the country
through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska and the Dakotas, and it has
been found that the line of the sixth
principal meridian appears to be the
best line for this trans continental
route. In fact it is now the only
through north and south road across
Nebraska. Steps have been taken for
the organization of the road through
Oklahoma and Texas, and Dakota peo-
pie have entered into the correspond
ence. The meeting Monday was at
tended by John C. Nicholson, secret
airy of the Kansas association, and by
the following gentlemen Of this state
George w. Post, York, o. E. Mickey
and C. E. Milks, of Osceola, R. L.
