TOWN THAT REFUSED BONUS
TO RAILRoADsNoW A


Location of the Katy Division
headquarters at Appleton City recalls
what a railroad company can do to
a promising inland town. In 1867.
two miles west of that city, over the
line in Bates County, Judge Charles
I. Richards and 20 other citizens of
that neighborhood organized town
site company, each paying 500, and
purchasing 100 acres of land, to found
new town along the eastern line of
Bates County. The town was
named. Hudson City after the town
ship in which it was located. The
town soon grew to some importance
as it was ideally located and in the
midst of a good farming communi-
ty.
In 1870 the M. X. & T. Railway
commenced building from Sedalia to
Nevada and Hudson City. 1t seemed
it was in a direct line and almost
sure to get the road and would be
the most important city in Bates
County and the only town in the
county on a railroad. Everything
was on the boom there. Land values
doubled over the new conditions that
would soon surround them.
One day Hudson City citizens were
asked to give big bonus in order to
get the road. They refused, thinking
the road could not miss Hudson City.
But the railroad company, a short
time later, changed the survey, maxi
ing the road run two miles east of
Hudson City, so it would touch the
northwest corner of St. Clair County
and then through the center of the
northwest section of the county. In
few days the company announced
that new townsite had been plated
in this section, and that the name of
the new town would be Appleton
City. This move demoralized the
citizens of Hudson City who realized
then that their promising town was
doomed
Bates County lost the advantage
of having an important railroad city
along its eastern border and St. Clair
County soon had thriving town
within her borders.
In 1871 the merchants of Hudson
City all moved to Appleton City.
The Presbyterian Church voted to
move the building to the new town,
and the church building was cut in
two and moved one-half at a time.
One-hali of the church building was
moved all right, but. before the other
half arrived at the new location, it
caught fire one night and was de-
stroyed.
Hudson City is now memory and
nothing stands in the old site except
one church building. the schoolhouse
and few old buildings, now used as
outhouses.
Appleton City has become a rail-
road center, and last year division
headquarters was located there by
the M. X. & T. Railway. 1t is grow
ing very fast and promises to be one
of the best towns along the Katy be-
tween Sedalia and Nevada. Most

was resolved to permit Junior Pioneers
living away from New Ulm to become

Immediately paid this amount and thus
became the first Junior Pioneer who has
