The Vicksbarg Herald tells of a.
scheme that the Il. N. o. e L. Rail
road Go. has on foot for widening
the Little j." from Harrison to
Jackson, and then extending it in an
easterly direction to the Alabama
coal fields at Decactur, a distance Of
about 800 miles. Then another line
is, to be built to Lafayette, La. from
Baton Rouge, on the West side of
the Mississippi river, a distance of
40 miles. At Decatur q connection
will be made with fhe East Tennes-
see, Virginia & Georgia road, end at
Lafayette with tho Southern Pacific.
This arrangement would form q
most excellent Texas short line, but
we regret to think Natchez would
nOt be much benefited by it. It
would be a good thing for Baton
Rouge h~oWeyer.-Easchez Demo-
crat.
Abiding to this plan the Lake
Charles Echo in its last Issue says.
This strikes US as a probable and
profitable scheme for louisiana. It
would shorten the distance from
Lake Charles to Baton Rouge from
800 to lis miles, and give western
