port would, of course mean much to Bossier Parish
from commercial and financial viewpoint. Such
road has long been projected, and now it seems
that the dream Of the Mnden people is at last about
to be realized. Under the above head last weeks
Democrat gives the following:
"Mr. F. H. Drake has begun the work of clearing
the right-ofway and grading the railroad which he
will extend west of here some fifteen or twenty miles,
where he owns considerable timber. The work was
commenced at this end of the line and will be push
ed as rapidly possible and he will in few days
increase the number of teams. We understand that
he has changed the original survey and is going on
direct line towards Shreveport and it appeas to US,
although Mr. Drake has not said so that he is head
ed for Shreveport with his road and that the timber
question is only secondary. Another thing that
bears out this idea is that the road is to be standard
gauge laid with heavy steel and well built in every
particular, something that is rarely ever done and
is generally considered too expensive for log road
We think the prospects for direct road from this
place to Shreveport at an early date exceedingly
good and, in fact, that the work on such road has
already begun"
