 The Chicago & Eastern Illinois will soon build a branch road to Cape Girardeau where a connection with the Cotton Belt will be made. This will give the Chicago & Eastern Hi nois road an outlet to Galveston and they will make an agreement with this road to make fair exchange of business with them. That road claims they can give us return freight in the shape of coal, which will more than pay for lumber which may come from the Lorth and east. If this road joins hands with the E4sf. ern Illinois road it will then tts y us direct into Chicago.
