VIII Complete the Road.

A. B. Camp of Chicago, representing
the Pinola Lumber 4 Trading Co., has
gone to Elizabethton to let to contract
the construction of the t%restles on the
line of railroad which his company has
already graded from Cranberry to Lin
vile, and which they will at onc equip
and operate quantities Of timber
in this section of country which their
road will penetrate.
This is the road that was graded by
the Linville River Lumber Co. some
time ago, but failed before it was com
pleted, There has been a reorganiza-
tion and with new capital and under a
new name the road is being finished.
Under any name the result to Johnson
City is the same,
1t means business for our people now
and a competing outlet in the nea flu
ture. When this road is completed to
Linville only 10 miles Of road will have
to be built to Wilson Greek to connect
with the proposed extension of the
Caldwell & Northern from Oollettsville.
This road is now in operation from Col
l~ettsville to Lenoir and there it con-
meets with the Carolina & Northwest
eru formerly the Chester & Lenoirs)
and runs liz miles to Lancaster 8. @.
There is no doubt that this gap will be
built. Gen. r. T. Hoke, President Of the
E. T. & W. N. g. r. r., has secured a
charter covering this section and an
nounces that it will be connected at an
early day. Speaking of the line the
Newton, N. G. Enterprise of recent
date says:
"Gen. II. L. Hoke of Raleigh is at
the head of a syndicate Of capitalists
that will make application to the pres
ent Legislature for q charter of a new
railroad from Cranberry to Lincolnton.
Cranberry is on the other side Of the
Blue Ridge in Mitchell county, near
the Tennessee line, and is famous on
account of the great mountain of iron
ore of the same name. There is also an
abundance of the finest quality Of coal
in the vicinity. The object of building
the road is to get a short line to Will
mington, as an outlet by water for the
coal and iron.
We understand that the plan is to
build a broad guage road across the
mountains from Collettsville to Gran
berry, a distance of about 20 miles and
change the branch narrow guage line
from there to Lenoir, then make ar
rangement with the Carolina and North
Western Company to change the guage
of their road to the standard guage to
Lincolton and use the Carolina Central
from Lincolnton to Wilmington. This
would make a great railroad, and its
building this summer would put out a
great deal Of money along the line.
The fact that General Hoke is at the
head of the movement leaves little
doubt of its success"
