SOUTHERN PACIFIC
To- Build the Baton Rouge-Lafa-
yette Railroad. The Work
Of Construction to Be-
gin at Once.

The following special to The
Times Democrat from Baton
Rouge, Nov. Is, indicates that
the Baton Rouge-Lafayette rail
road will soon be a reality.
The party of engineers under the
leadership and supervision of Chief
Engineer Stubs, that has been sur
veying the river front in West Baton
Rouge for the Southern Pacific Com
pany, is still at work in the neighbOr-
hood, though four miles back from
the river, having completed surveys
and soundings along the front. All
the desired property on the front has
been either purchased or options
secured thereon, and the work pro-
crosses in a busineSs-like way.
The engineers yesterday found the
old line laid some years ago by an
engineer named HOllOman, and have
now three lines from Port Allen to
Lafayette, which will be submitted in
q day or two to ThOrnwell Fay. One
of these lines will be selected and the
work of construction will begin at

1t was reported in this city that an
option had been secured by the
Southern Pacific Company on the
Anchorage plantation, with a view of
extending their terminal and transfer
facilities. if found expedient, and the
combination with the Frisco system,
in transfer arrangements, seems to
imply that extensive properties will
be needed to accommodate the bust
ness of the two roads working in con-
juctiOn at the transfer slip.
The engineers in the party have
inside information regarding the
intentions of the projectors of the
road, and are satisfied that one of
the three lines already surveyed will
be chosen within the next few days
and active operations begun at once
toward the building of the line and
the arrangement of the transfer facili-
ties at this point. All indications
point to the fact that the promoters
of the enterprise are in earnest in
their ~futherance of the project. The
people of West Baton Rouge are
jubilant over the prospect of the road
coming to their section.

TWO KINDS OF lNTEFES -

people have watched with interest
for the Republican platform. They
wanted to see in what strong and
beautiful language the fundamental
truths of the Grand Old Party could
be reStated; they wanted to read
again the history of honorable
achievement under the noblest leaders
the world has ever known; and they
desired to feel the thrill the nation
experiences to-day in love for and
devotion TO the strongest and most
conspi public character in the
world to-day - Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States OF
America. The platform gives him the
strongest possible Endorsement. Not
so, with the peoples interest in the
platform which Will be adopted by the
Democracy at ST. Louis They are
anxious TO see what is to be the
para mount issue" this year; whether
the Kansas City platform will be in
dorsed: whether the platform Will
have g free silver plank in it, and
whom of it's former leaders it will
point to with pride All, there s
the rub. Bryan will be there, and
they won't dare boast of Cleveland;
having been twice defeated, Bryan
himself will most likely be left out.
With no leaders OF the present genera
ton worthy of mention whom the
convention can say anything about,
necessity will drive the Democracy
back to Thomas jefferson and Andrew
Jackson. Yes, the people Will be in
terested in reading the St. Louis plat
form. for the Lord only knows what
il will be like and. in the language OF
