SOUTHERN WILL LAY TRACK.
Traffic Too Heavy for Two Roads
West of Chattanooga.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 20.-It is
understood here that the Southern rail-
way is again considering the building
of the Stevenson extension, a track
from this city to Stevenson, Ala, there
to connect with the present line of the
Memphis and Charleston railway,
which is controlled by the Southern.
1t is stated that the traffic over the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis
railway, whose tracks the Memphis
and Charleston uses between this city
and Stevenson, has grown to such an
extent that it is difficult to operate
the trains of the two roads over the
one track.
The Southern has had several sur
veys made for the extension, and it is
understood that the one likely to be
adopted is that which will provide for
a tunnel through Lookout mountain.
The tracks will practically parallel the
Nashville roads tracks from here to
Stevenson. If the extension is built
1t will cost about $5,000000
