RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
MISSOURI PACIFIC EXTENSION.
The West Plains, (Mo.) Gazette
says:
“It. has been announced in official
railroad circles that the contract for
building the extension of the Missouri
Pacific'from Bagnell to Carthage has
been let to J. H. Reynolds, who built
the line of the Missouri river route
from Jefferson City to Boonville, and
that the work of grading the roadbed
will be begun at an early date.
“The passing of the St. Louis <S
Colorado line into the hands of the
Rock Island has forced the Missour
Pacific company to complete the con
nection of the southwest branch ant
the White river extension of the Mis
souri Pacific from Batesville, Ark.
in order for the Pacific to control th<
trade of the great southwest.
“It’s now up to the Frisco to dc
something further than completing
the Harrison branch to Little Rock
The extension of the Salem brand
through south Missouri and north Ar
kansas would give a short line fron
the mineral fields of this section t<
the World’s Fair city.”
