New ORLEANS, July 49, The PicayuRe
says; Several years ago Vice President
Wheeloock announced to Picayune re-
porter that the last rail on the New Or
leans and Texas Pacific railway, cOmplet-
ing connection of New Orleans to San
Francisco, would be laid by the middle
Of July. That event was accomplished
on ths morning Of July 18th, at a point
on the Atchafalaya Valley beyond the
river. The only break in the continuous
| line Of rail is at Atchafalaya in Louis
! lana, where the food which has prevailed
since February has retarded the bridge
at that place. However, there will be no
stoppage Of trains, because a large ferry
boat, constructed to transfer cars, has
been provided, and mt this moment the
only real obstacle to sending through
trains is near Atchafalaya river, where
the track is covered with water, but only
to a limited extent, for the floods have
already abated several feet. The railway
company is now engaged in raising this
portion of the track, and in two weeks it
is expected to be high and dry and solid
enough for any traffic. Vice President
Wheelock had been assured by General
Superintendent Hoxie of the Texas Pa
citic that he was prepared to send
through To New Orleans 200 cars Of
freight per day as soon as the rails can
take the trains, and Wheelock will Use
every exertion to handle this great traffic
to the best advantage and with the quick
est possible dispatch. He said his COM
pany will provide every appliance and
facility for doing the business i'll first
class style.
