to and Red River Railroad, who
gives us some valuable informa-
ton with regard to the railroad
interests of Arkansas. The road
with which he is connected runs
westward from a point on the Mis-
sissippi, at or near Eunice, the
eastern terminus not being def
nitely fixed as yet, crossing the
Ouachita at Camden, and termi-
mating at Fulton, from whence of
course connections will be made
with the Great Southern Pacific |
Railroad that is to be. The road
Is graded ninety five miles west
from Eunice, and trains will be
running to Monticello, forty miles
Oat, by November. The company
has already rolling stock sufficient
for that distance, and is constant
" receiving supplies of all kinds.
Their iron comes from Europe via
New Orleans. The road is being
built entirely By the company,
without the Intervention of con-
tractors, and over a thousand men
are now at work under the super
intendence Of it's officers, Judge
Thos. III. Bowen being President.
This road runs through one the
best cotton growing regions ofthe
South, has a grant of lands from
the United States and State esti-
mated at nearly 100000 acres,
beside States bonds at the rate of
$4,000 per mile for fifty miles,
that being the proportion of the
State aid granted by the last Leg
islatvire to 800 miles of road in the
State, and divided among the diff
ferent lines
This company has also under
its management the Little Rock
