 The above Item appeared in the Little Rock Gazette of Tuesday, and also in the Ft. Smith and ST. Louis papers. The eRice road, as the New Orleans, Natchez and Fort Scott" road has neen familiar ly known to many Tn Northwest Arkansas has been closely and anX- lously watched by the people Of N Nashington and Benton counties, and the completion of each mile ot the road coming northwest from Natchez brings giaduess to thelr hearts because they know the road which will ultimately penetrate their rich and fertile territory and give them new outlet and com munieat;on with new markets IS coming ne arer.. and nearer every day.
 The people of Spungdale have cause to rejoice at the prospects of the cary completion of this road, because she is not only one of the objective points but her already hattering prospects for secaring the road are snpplimented by the fact that she Is in direct alignment with other fixed and ob- iectiye points on each side of her.
 A preliminary survey has just been completed by Capt. M x. RandaH one of the most competent and experienced railroad Engineers in the country.
 ThIs survey was made under the order of Gen. Rice to determine the practlcabilttyof a direct route from Bentonvile to Glarksyile by the va of Springdale. The result of the survey has doubly met the ex- pertations of the most enthusiastic advocates of the route, Capt, Ran dall has not only found and report ted the route practical, but good; possessing vastly superior adYan- tages In the construction of the road over any other known route.
 A road over this route connect Ing the points contemplated by Gen R,oe will be one of the most impor- taht and profitable roads m the en- tire Southwest. and that section of the road covered by the charter of tie "Kansas City, Bentonvilie and 1 Southeastern would be the most prof table of the entire road No adequate conception can be formed of the immensity and variety Of the natural resources of the country traversed by the route from the State line Northwest of Benton vile in Soptheasterlv direction
