Rebuilding Lines.

The Iorn Mountain is losing no time

hum of stegomyia fasciata holds no
note of alarm for the engineering de-

in most immediate need of ,or are
by reason of their geographical posi-
ton and connections, certain to be
called into heavier travel and freight
requisition in the future.
One such stretch of road. lying con-
t;guous to Memphis and piercing a
rich Memphis territory, is the line be-
tween Helena and Knobel, Ark, a
stretch of 14O miles on what is known
as the head of the tidewater line.
This line when completed will trav-
erse the west side of the Mississippi
river, penetrating marvelously rich
Sc ction and giving Gulf connection
for the products Of the middle west
via. the Iron Mountain route.
The road is now employing three
work trains taking ballast from CraW'
lcy's Ridge. on the Memphis branch
and putting down 75-pound steel
The line is being heavily tallasted
with stone This is being done IN
anticipation of the heavy traffic that
will inevitably traverse this line on
the completion of the projected tide
water line, from Mariana to New
Orleans.
1t is the intention of the chief en-
eineer of the road just as soon as this
line is completed, to rebuild the Mem
rhis branch between this city and
Paid Knob. Ark. The work of filling
the trestles along this line. which has
teen in progress for some time, is
new nearly completed. and by the
time the eneineerine force is ready

Work on White River r. r. Retarded.

there seems 10 be some doubt as to
whether the White River road will
be completed by September I. The
hcayv rains Of the last two weeks
have put a setback on the construct

trouble for the bridge builders at
Brapson, and the channel piers are yet
to be built. However. all the material
is on the ground and if the hieh water
recedes and will stay down there will
not be much delay The Omaha tunnel
will be in such shape as to allow the
track layers to enter within a week
or two. provided the Barren Fork
bridge is in, and that will be started
this week. In all probability the tracks
will meet at Branson, as the work
there looks as though it wculd be
