THROUGHOUT LOUISIANA.
The Avoyellcs Road.

Railroad building in Louisiana, de-
spite the so-called depression in busi-
ness generally, and in railroad profits
particularly, goes steadily on. The
latest road, and perhaps the more ex-
tensive, which is being built within
the state is the new road from Bunkie,
on the Texas 6 Pacific, about 100 miles
from New Orleans, to Fort Allen,
where the Texas & Pacific is again
tapped.
This road, making circuit of nearly
100 miles, is known as the Avoyelles,
st. Louis s. Southwestern road. It
runs through one of the most fertile
sections OF the state, beginning as it
does at Bunkie, thence east through
Avoyelfs parish to Evergreen, Cotton
Plant, Long Bridge, Hamburg and to
Red Fish, where the Atchafalaya is
crossed; thence through very fertile
section to Pointe Coupee. touching at
several little towns, and finally ter
minating at Fort Allen.
