OF course no definite deductions
can be drawn from this maueuver,
alone, beyond that the New York Cen

are other circumstances which tend to

his visits hero are said positively tC

II Is stated hat one of the p0ssibili,
ties Is q new trunk line south from
Cairo all the way TO the gulf. crossing
the rivers here by the new bridge or
tunnel as stated; and that this new
trunk line will be either The c. b. &
G. or the New York Central.
Ii stands to reason that all OF the
big railroad systems of the country
which do not now reach the gulf will
make determined efforts to get there,
because of the vast amount of traffic
which must develop in connection
with the Panama canal doing It's con
structon and after It Is finished; and
Cairo being a natural gateway to the
south. is the logical objective point
for lines operating directly north of us
and the already vast amount Of traffic
to and from here must be multiplied
many times as the canal project adj
yances
Crossing over to Wickliffe a similar
state of activity is found. Two new
railroads are headed for Cairo, to CON
meet us with roads which traverse the
south in different dlrections-the
Cairo & Tennessee River and the

is the Nashville, Chattanooga & St

all the ineorporators of the former are
Officials of the latter; and these Off |
cials. with Mr. Smith at their head |
