GOOD ROADS AND RURAL school

children. In many counties where
bad roads prevail, most of the schools
are OF the antiquated one-room var

bad roads which, during the winter.
when the schools are usually In ses-

AN EECTRIC LINE
HOWARD, BOONE AND CALLAWAY
MAKE MCKINLEY AN
OFFER.

An interurban line east from Co
lumbia to McCredie, to connect with
the Chicago and Alton, running from
Mexico to jefferson CITY, and another
west TO Glasgow to join the Chicago
and Alton direct track into Kansas
city. Is the latest proposition which
has beer placed before the Mckinley
Syndicate. The Mckinley Syndicate
recently purchased the street railway
system and the bridge over the Mis-.
souri, River at Jefferson City.
Engineers OF the syndicate have
made an inspection of the Chicago
and Alton track running from Mex
leo TO Jefferson city. This was done
with the purpose. IL Is believed. Of
purchasing the line as a beginning
for covering the state with electric
railways.
Right of Way and Bonus Offered
NJ. G.. Quinn says w. u Mckinley,
president Of the Mckinley systems,
has been offered so per cent OF the
right-of-way and 100000 each by
the three counties. Howard. Boone
and Galloway n this syndicate will
buy the G.. & A. running from Mexico
20 Jefferson City. electrify IL. and
then build interurban lines from Co
lumbia to McCredie and from Column
bia TO Glasgow.
This would shorten the trip to
Mexico. Fulton and Jefferson City.
From Jefferson city travellers would
have u quicker trip into st. Louis
than over the McBaine and C~entralia
routes. On the other side the time
from Columbia to Kansas City would
bc cut down by going to Glasgow and
the Chicago and Alton into Kan
sas City. Any additional building Into
the two cities, which the syndicate
would want to do. would be n matter
for them TO take up with those coun-
ties through which they might want
TO pass.
