The .lx road Interested in the enterprise are the Santa Fe, ChiAtchison. Topeka St. Paul. St. cago, Milwaukee San Francisco, Chicago, Ruck Island Alum and the A Pacific, Chicago Union Pacific. The ita selected for the new nation comprises thlrty-elacres of land, which the station promoters have secured by options at the rate of 965.000 per acre. The station, track will through whloh twenty-fou- r run. will be one of the finest in the United States. Aa the proposed new station will not be for tha uae of all the twenty-eigh- t roads entering this city, it will only serve to relieve the serious congestion which exlata at the old Union station on Union avenue, and the roads which will continue to enter the old station will In time construct another new passenger station, either on the present rile of the station or river front on the north aide of the city. Thus the depot problem, which, hae disturbed Kansas City so long, probably will he solved by the construction of new passenger stations, one at the south aide and the other at the north aide of the city.
