ROCK ISLAND WILL BUILD.
Confirms Report of Line Through Goa
Fields.

Des Moines, Feb. Z. - The report
that the Rock Island road will build
new line in Warren and Marion
counties, which has been current for
some time past, has received official
confirmation and the added informa-
ton is given out that the company is
largely interested in recent purchases
of lands in the Marion county coal
fields to be tapped by the road. The
announcement comes from Chicago,
and is to the effect that the new line
will be built next season.
The line will be an extension of the
Washington division from Knoxville
west through the Whitebreast creek
coal territory to Indianola in Warren
county, and will tap very large
proven coal section that awaits rail
road facilities for development. The
extension will amount to an extension
of the Washington division to Des
Moines, for the line between this city
and Indianola will be incorporated into
this division and operated as part
of it. the present service over the
Keokuk division to Knoxville being
transferred to it. 1t is intended prin
cipally as a coal line.
No information is forthcoming as
yet as to whether or not the company
will complete the construction of the
proposed extension from Winterset tx
Greenfield on which some work has
been done and for which great dea
of material has been assembled. This
extension is under contemplation, how
ever. 1t is stated there is little pros
pect of other railroad buildings il
Iowa this season by the Rock Island
The line from Knoxville to Indian
ola will be less than twenty miles II
length.
