Railroad Items.

Monroe is destined, and that at no dis
tant day, to be the great railroad centre OF
North Louisiana.
It's getting about time for Genl. Rice to
be ''hustling around'' this way. II he
leaves Monroe off his line he'll miss
''the greatest opportunity" of his life and
will rue the day that he made such "bad
break"
The work of grading the upper division
of the Houston, Central Arkansas Il North
ern Railroad between Monroe and Prairie
Mer Rouge is about completed and it is
probable that track laying will be begun
shortly on this division.
The work Of bailasting the track OF the
eastern end of the vs. & p. Il. X. goes
Dravely on and what was once one of ths
most rickety railroads in the South will ere
long be ono of the most substantial o
Southern roads. Then we may look FOL
much moro rapid transit than now, though
the present time made on this road is no
to be despised by any means.
Capt. Chas. Green aud Col. Grant, of tht
Gould system, arrived in the city Wednes
day from Alexandria on prospecting ton
with the view to a possible construction o
another line OF railroad through this sec
ton. Verify it begins TO look like thi
section has at last attracted they eye 9th
capitalists who are seeking safe and proita
bile Investments, aud we imagine that w
can already see several competing lines G
railroads lraversing this promising field
Ofcourse Monroe will not do otherwis
than welcome them all aud il makes btl
little difference to her people who build
them-whether it's Jay could or an.
other man.

Long Time Weather Predictions
Hereafter


WASHINGTON, April 29.-The chief
signal officer has issued the following
instructions to the indications official:
In view of the great Importance of
longtime weather predictions, to the
business interests of the country, it is
hereby directed that on and after May
l, 1889, the indications official shall
make, whenever practicable, general
prediction showing the condition of the
weather two OF three days i'll advance
The chief signal officer is aware that
unsettled weather conditions not infre-
quentiy obtain throughout the coun-
try to such an extent as to preclude
the possibility of successful pre-
dictionS even for twelve or twenty
four hours in advance, so that
this class of long time predictions will
be confined to such occasions and such
sections of the country as from pecu-
liar and persistent meteorological con-
ditionS seem to assure successful fore
casts. These predictions will not be
too much in detail, but will clearly set
forth the section of the country for
which they are intended and the days
of the week which they will cover.
The use of such terms as warmer or
"colder" should be replaced as a rule
by ''warm," ''cold. - moderately cold"
etc. In making these long time fore
casts, the language should be varied
according to the necessities OF the oc-
casion, but should always be in such
form as to convey clearly to the general
public the opinions of the indications
official, and also the degree of positive
ness that attaches TO his opinions"
These predictions will be furnished at
ttn co mo tiyfp tho rapuIar dafaiJod
INDICATIONS but. they viii not appear
regularly. so that their non-appearance
will signify nothing more than that
the indications official did not think it
judicious to make an advanced pre-
dictiOn,
