The v, S. & P.-We learned from
Major T. g. Dabney, chief assistant
engineer Of the Vicksburg, Shreve-
port and Pacific railway, who return
ed Sunday evening from Monroe by
stage, that grading ON about 20 miles
OF the roadbed between Shreveport
and Arcadia is finished, and work is
progressing on the remainder very
satisfactorily. Beyond Arcadia MIR.
G. w. Cram, the contractor, has had
many difficulties to contend with in
letting out the work to sub-contrac-
tors. Mr.. g. Bouscaren, chief engi-
neer of the Erlanger system, who
passed over the line few days ago,
he says, had conversations with sew
eral of the sub-contractors, which
was of such satisfactory character
that Mr.. Cram will be enabled to at
once let out the portions of his con-
tract that have thus far laid idle. One
or two sub-contractors have already
made satisfactory arrangements and
more will do SO in a few days. This
is certainly good news So far only
about IL miles of roadbed between
Arcadia and Monroe have been grad
ed, but now the work will be pushed
as rapidly as possible. There are only
seven sections ON Mr.. Grams portion
of the work that have not already
been Let, which Major Dabney says
will soon be contracted for, as he has
parties here who will take them
Teams, while the crops were being put
in, were scarce, and prices charged
