city papers a considerable number of the
citizens of Shreveport assembled at the

the proposition Of General Dockery, presi-
dent of the St. Louis, New Orleans and
| Little Rock railroad. A number OF citizens
from Bossier we're also present. Colonel R.
| Ii. Lindsay, president of the Board OF
| Trade, called the meeting to order and
moved that Judge w. B. Egan take the
| chair, which motion was unanimously car
ried. On motion H. j. Hearsey was ap-
| pointed secretary. Judge Egan, on assuIn-
ing the chair, briefly reviewed the railroad
| projects that had interested this city during
| the last two years, and introduced General
! DOckery to the meeting, who spoke IT

General Dockery stated he came as the
| representative of those capitalists VINO own
the Iron Mountain railroad, and who CON
trOlled interests i'll the Mississippi and Ohio
railroad. Those capitalists who are IN New
| York and control these road have large
| railroad interests in Arkansas and in lower
Louisiana, and they have determined on a
| connection Of these two systems. Our ac-
| ton will decide whether that connection
| shall be made through Shreveport, or pass
east Of us. Within the next ten days the
railroad from St Louis to Little Rock will
