Louls, Reeently the Des Molnes and St. Louls Rall- voad Colpuny was urganized very quistly, and arrangenients porfected to bulld n roul from this city to a connectlon with the Wae bush, Arrangements wers fiest inade with Nuw York capitallsta, nterested in Western roads, to furnish tho money to bulld the road, provided the sum of $100,000 honus was slven by Lhe people along the route and u reo or inexpensive rlght of way, ‘The means belng provided Tfor, the nuxt step was to secitra the eoliperation of a trunk line to take It when bullt,” A contract was wade with the Wabash Company to leaso aud op- erate |, provided it was emmpleted Oct 1, and to make it apart of a tronk {ne to St Louis with not less than twa through trains eachday, Prior to all this the preliminary sur ?'unhmn routes was mude, Now the q ion is to decide which shall ho finally ey seleeted, One route is dircet to fnmestown, In Wayne County, which is on the Leon 'l!‘mnell of the Chiengo, Burlington & Quiney., The distance 13 fifty-thren mfles, grades fosw, and construction eisy. This would conneet with the old Missouri, Towa & Nebraska from Centervilie, which is a part of the Wa- bash, At Centerville conneetion would bo ninde with the old P{unh Missourl, now also n part of the Wabash, direct to St Louls, Another routa s parallel with o Albla & Knoxville -Branch of the Chicagn, Burlington & uiney to Tlensantville; thence direct to luin, Bixty- four miles. Another route is on the enst aule of Des Malnes River to Red Roek, in Marlon County, thenes nernss the river, south to Kuoxvilies thenc dircct southenst to Albln, sixty-clght miles, These Inst two routes are Jonger and more expensive than the 1uines- ton route, but prss through arleh country, ‘The ndvantage galned by these routes 13 that at Albla direct connection I mnde with the North Missourl, and tho distance to ${nmes- ton, further west, is saved. Slnce the an- nouncement that the rond whi be built dele- gatlons from several points have been hero to induce n change In rontes, Yesterday one from Charlton wis here offering to consoll- dnto their Des Molnes & Charlton and. St Louls project with this new one, and trans- for the $25,000 tax plready voted by Chariton to the” Ues Molues & St. Louls, pro- vided the ronl was built to Chariton, From Chariton conncetion eould be made with tho Wabash southensts thenee to Moulton on the North Minsourl, by the Chiarlton & St. Luufs route, niready worked up, andon which the town Is to vote for or against o tax immediately, This route from Des Molnes would be nearly lmm\llcl with the Chleago & Rock lsland hranels to Indianoln, and the Chicago, Bur- linzton & Quiney branch from Indianola to Chariton, the Iafter belng expensive for con- structlon, Mr. Alusworth, a well-known clvil engineer, hins been engaged, and will at once make a nore thurough survey of each route, and the one offering the best nducements will be selected, and work begun immediately, This rond will not nwr here, The oflicers are nlso the officers and - principal_owners of the Des - Moines Northwestern Narrow-Gaugze, now In oremllun from Waukea on the [ Fort Do Road to Panors, in Guthrle County, and which s doing A heavy business, its - rolling-stock has been” twlee «oubled, and yet I8 over- erowded. T'he objective polnt of this road is Sloux Naplds, in Buena Vista County. Now, it1s no secret that Jag Goull desires to et into Minnesota and Dakotn and con- neet with the Northern Paelfic. "This would be n magnificent route, and shorter than any yet projected, and also through a territory unocenpled, as rich In resourees ns there is intho West, It would require but little 1o chatize the narrow to n broad gauge, build ten nifles, from Des Molnes to Waunkee, and forty nlles of paying road would be added, r‘\{m‘l the Wabash “given n good start for Da- ota. The people are in earnest about this new outlet for graln, and will take hold of this Wabash extenslon with hearty good-will, ng it gl ves competition with Chileago, and is the oniyg possibie way to get it, nh\’ery Ilkely this project. will squelch the proposed Des Molnes and Kansas Clty Road, nithough the projectors nni‘ not, and insist that thelr road will be bullt, Buta winnee nt the map will show that at least to the Chlcago, Burlington & Quiney there will be three roads almst parallel. 1LAWKEYE.
