12 SEDALIA DEMOCRAT, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5, 1902. TliereJs Talk of Another K. Extension. GOlNa TO COAL itnm of Interest Picked Up from Various Soiircfs for the Beiuiit of aU' Headers. Within the pust ten days the head officials of the T.

have had under consideration the extension of the iVfidland branch from Columbia to Iligbee, where the road will connect with the main line of the Katy, says the Rocheport Democrat. It has been known for some time that such a move was on foot, the Katy people being very anxious to tap the great coal fields around Hairisburg. Some years ago the K. T. system leased 5,000 acres of these coal fields for 99 years, for which they agreed to pay one cent per bushel for all coal mined on the leased property.

It will be remembered that the K. T. purchased the Play- ward survey at the same time they purchased the Missouri Central survey, on which the K. T. route was constructed.

The distance from Columbia to the coal fielc is only fifteen mdes, and, according to estimate, can be built for 000 per mile. Should the road be constructed it will open up one of the finest agricultural regions in the county, and Harrisburg will develop into one of the best coal-mining centers in the west. Who Will Succeed Sweeney There is a good deal of speculation among railroad men as to who will succeed M. Sweeney as general superintendent of the K. T.

One of the rumors concerning tlie position is that Mr. Collies private secretary to General Manager A. A. Allen, will be chosen. Superintendents N.
