Is Increasing It's Facilities at
Joppa, Ill.
Can Handle 81 Cars at One Time
When the Work is Completed
In Ten Days.
HAS OPENED NEW ORLEANS LINE

The tie business is increasing to
such an extent that all the railroads
In this vicinity are considering the
advisability of increasing their ca
pacity for handling ties on the other
side of the river. The ties are towed
out in barges and shipped by rail on
the Illinois side of the river.
II was announced a short time ago
that the Illinois Central intended to
build a big incline at Metropolis, its
Brookport facilities, already very
large, being entirely inadequate to
handle the business during a rush.
The Chicago e. Eastern Illinois.
which has terminal at Joppa, ILL.,.
20 miles below here. has decided to
greatly enlarge its facilities, and is
now building another incline there,
the work to be finished in ten days
The road now has facilities at Jop-
pa for handling &C cars at a setting,
but when its new incline is completed
1t will be able TO handle so at one
time. The additional incline will
enable the c. & f. to handle a great
deal of business and will relieve the
congestion of traffic in busy times.
The Chicago and Eastern Illinois
is now part Of the Frisco-Rock ISL
nda. one of the greatest systems in
the country. 1t has just opened its
New orleans line, and has a fine
outlet there.
The road has secured the contract
for taking | 900 car loads of agricul-
tural implements from Chicago to
points in Russia along the Black
Sea, and will ship them via New Or
leans, beginning in a short time.

NO. DAM
AT HENDERSON, KY, FOR THE
PRESENT.
The Dredge Boat, However, Is Ex-
pected to Accomplish Much
Good.

There will be no dam at Hender'
son-at least for some time 10
come, says the Evansville Courier
This fact was made plain to the rep
resentatives of the Ohio Valley I'M
provement association who recently
went to Washington to lay the mat
ter before the rivers and harbors
committee of congress. The trip was
not barren OF results, however, as the
promise of the committee to station
a dredge boat here and to make a
complete survey of the river was Sc
cured r.t
Hon. f. b. Posey and Captain KEEL
Ter who were among the represen-
tatiyes seeking better river facilities
along the Ohio river, returned home
Yesterday. Hon. f. b, Posey in speak
Ing of the committees efforts to In
terest the members of the rivers and
harbors committee said that while IL
would be useless to hope for a. lock
and dam at Henderson In the imme-
diate future he said the committee
was duly impressed with the necessi-
ty for giving this section of the river
attention and that dredge boat
would be stationed at Evansville In
the future. He said a complete sur
yey would be made from Cincinnati
to Cairo.
Mr., Posey thinks great deal OF
good will be accomplished by the
dredge boat. He says that while II
will not mean that the large boats
will have navigable water all season
Il will mean that the light draught
boats will be run during all or a
greater part of the year.
