THE COTTON BELT Making Extensive Improve ments in Trackage and
 Rolling Stock. ONE THOUSAND NEW BOX CARS TO BE RECEIVED NEXT
 MONTH. New Steel Tracks Being Put Down and the Grade Reduced from
 Here to Texartana.
TEN NEW MOGUL ENGINES

The Cotton Belt road is making some very extensive and valuable lm- provemcnts, which, when completed. will make it one of the best roads iB the country.
 Next month 1t will rccelve l,00O nev box cars, 800 from Jcffersonville, Ind. and 500 from rerre Haute, Ind
 About the same time the road wlll receive ten mogul engines for pulling heavy freight trains.
 This big order for rolling stock was made necessary because of the largely increased business of the road
 The Cotton Belt will also receive 10,o00 tons of seVenty-tive pound new steel rails to be lam between Pine Bluff and TeXarkana, and when they are put down, the Cotton Belt will have new steel track from Stuttgart 10 TeXarkana.
 Another improvement being made Ill the trackage is the reducing of the grade between Pine Bluff and Texar. kama A force of 1900 men are now at work between the two points nam ed. reducing the grade two SiXths of one per cent. When the work is com. pleted single engine can pull as much heavier train than at present, a mogus engine being able to pull 2,000 tons then, whereas it can pull only 7Uu tons now.
 The Cotton Belt is rapidly coming to the front along with the leading rail. road systems of the country.
