Narrow Gauge From Clifton to Knoxville

EDITORS CHRNoICLE: 1t would per-
haps be matter of great interest to know
something about the country through
which the new rail road is to pass from
Clifton to Knoxville. 1t is pretty gener-
ally understood that the road will pass
through the great French Broad valley to
the south of the French Broad river. From
Clifton to Knoxville by the river the dis
lance is probably one hundred to one hum
bred and ten miles by the newly contem-
plated road line, only abouta fifty-one, be-
ing not quite half the distance by land
that it is by water. Big Pigeon and
French Broad run nearly parallel at Cliff
ton, believe only about one mile apart,
coming together only few miles below
the above named place. The French
Broad then windsits sivery circuit through
the great French Broad valley being one
of the finest and most productive vallies
in the world. This river is interspersed
with numerous islands both great and
small. When you leave Clifton along the
contemplated route the country is very
level almost to cambridge. | do not be-
lieve the great West affords better route
for constructing rail road. The truth is,
nature has virtually graded the road to
cambridge. From cambridge to SEWER
vile via Fair Garden, there is but little OBJ
struction in the way, and unders tand
that from Sevierville to Knoxville there
will only be two cuts of any importance,
and they are not very long. 1t is estima-
ted that 81 900 to each will complete them.
This road taps four county sites, that OF
Cooke, Jefferson, Sewer and Knox, be-
sides running almost on a parallel line
with the river. 1t will cross the following
important creeks, all of which have extern
sive valleys running up to the foot of Eng
lish mountain, flowing with milk and
honey: Indian Creek, Muddy Greek, Nc
Guier's Creek, Flat Greek, East, West and
Middle forks of Pigeon, coming together at
Sevierville, and Boyd's Creek, besides
many smaller ones.
The French Broad valley is skirted by
an inexhaustible forest of timber, beyond
any description, consisting of oak, pine,
poplar, maple, walnut, cherry, and many
other varieties, which will be a fortune to
the owners when the road is completed.
Three cheers for the narrow gauge!
