at Princeton TO construct an electric
railroad from Jasper to French
Lick and West Baden, and ulti-
mately to Mitchell, on the B. x ..
IS. W., were in the city Saturday
morning enroute home, after having
spent the week along the proposed
route.
In a conversation Mr.. Reavls
Stated that a corps OF engineers be-
lpan at French Lick Wednesday
morning to survey the route, and
had already reached Hillham, in
this county. They had passed over
what is known as Sandhill, between
French Lick and Hillham, which
mas been considered the greatest
obstacle to building a road through
this territory, and found a grade OF
less than 4 per cent, while it is
possible for electric cars to climb a
grade Of AZ per cent. Its expect
ed that the survey will be complet-
led within thirty days, and that the
work Of grading will begin by Sep
tember |, and that the road will be
completed within nine months.
4 While at French Lick Mr.. Reavis
was informed by Thomas Taggar'
that during the previous year l6,OOt
speople had visited West Baden and
French Lick Springs, and it wa;
the opinion OF Mr., Taggart tina
|, with the completion Of the new no
: tels now in course Of construction
this number would be increased
next year to 10000. Mr.. Reavi
lis confident that his road can Sc
,lcure the bulk OF this business
= which would make it a highly pro
olitable investment forthe stockhold

benefited, but the farmers througI
whose territory the road passe

, farms. That they fully realize thi
y lie evidenced by the fact that the

the enterprise and are cheerful
donating the right Of way wherevt

Mr.. Reavis also assured the New
