ROCK ISLAND TO BUILD.
Plans New Road From Knoxville to
Indjanola

Des Moines, Dec. 23.-Announce-
ment is made of the intention Of the
Rock Island road to build line from
Knoxville, the present terminus OF its
Washington division, to Indianola,
surveys having been completed and
the estimates of probable cost sub
mitted to the officials. Estimates have
also been submitted on the cost of
constructing a line from Knoxville to
the Big Vein coal district in Marion
county, giving the road direct line
from Des Moines to the field through
Summerset, Indianola and Knoxville.
The construction of the new track will
depend altogether upon probable cost
and will be decided within the next
few weeks. If the line is built it Is
the intention to operate the Washing
ton line as one division from Wash
ington through Evans and Knoxville
via Indianola to Des Moines, diverting
traffic to this line instead of sending
it as present over the Valley line to
Evans and thence over the Washing
ton division.
The construction of the line Is
planned for a double purpose, that OF
dispensing with duplicate trair. sec.
over the Valley division, and to tap
the great coal deposits in Marion
county, affording a direct outlet from
them to the west and northwest lines
of the company.
