Ancient mythology tells Of the

Mayor Parsons voluntarily assumed
a task almost as hard In both respects
as that Of Hercules when he under.
took to have Railroad street cleaned
up. He is having the willing co-opera

however, will deny that the Augean

Preparaj ions for the work of max
ing the big fill at the Illinois approach
TO the |. c. bridge have now been
completed and within the next few
days a force of probably over 100
men will be engaged on the work.
Superintendent A. II. Egan. of the

task, including a train of dump cars
small engine for hauling them, and
three enormous seam shovels, was
shipped 60 this city and laborers will
be put on the job within the next few
days.
1t is understood that the track on
which the dump cars. which are tC
carry the dirt for the fill. are to run
will be laid on the level beside the
trestle, and thar as the fill progresses
it will be raised accordingly. though
whether or not the work will be &C
eomplished in this manner or by dump

| elm, Is not known.
II Is further understood that as tn,
fill is completed, the iron work, whicl
now holds up the trestle, will be re
moved and taken to the Kentucky side
where it win be used in double-tracf
ing the approach there.

md double-tracking the bridge hav
vet been offered by the officials of tn
road but Il is learned from good al
thority that 1t will run into counties
thousands of dollars. The dirt alon
10 be used is valued at many thousand
and 1t was necessary for the Illino
Central company to purchase So acre
Of ground from the Cairo Trust pro
erty, with the understanding that
is to be excavated to depth of eigl
