THE ERIE CUTOFF.
First Train Over New TIne of Easier
Grades

Grades.
New York, Oct. 24.-The first freight
train was operated today over the So
called Gumyard cutoff, of the Erie
railroad, on the New York division.
The Guymard line has been under
construction for three years and is
one of the largest and most expensive
changes of line undertaken in the
east. The Erie has heavy grade over
the Shawangunk mountains eastbound
out of Port Jervis and lighter but
very noticeable one westbound. In
and to provide for a greatly increased
capacity for the New York division,
the new line was built.
When completed it will be 40 miles
in length, ten miles being ready for
use today from Guymard to HoweIls.
On this section is the 6,000-foot dou-
BILE tracked tunnel, the second on the
Erie'S main line the only other one
being the Jersey City tunnel. which
will be eliminated so far as passen-
ger traffic is concerned when the Ber-
gen cut is completed.
It is expected that the entire Guy
mard line will be in use by January l,
and then nineteen locomotives Will be
able to haul as many cars between
Port Jervis and Jersey City as 80 do
at the present time
The construction of this line has
required the removal of an average of
10000 cubic feet of material to the
mile, the boring of the 6,000-foot tun-
nell and the construction of steel
yiaduct over Moodna creek 5000 feet
long and 1913 feet high. Another via
duct $50 feet in length and ~ feet in
height carries the line over Benny
brook.
The difference in the two lines is
made especially apparent by looking
at the grade lines, the new tracks be-
inc ian feet lower than the old line
1t is not expected that the Guymard
line will be used for passenger ser
vice, but devoted entirely to freight
With the completion of this work and
the connecting up of some snort
stretches in the near future. the Erie
will have four tracks between Jersey
City and Port Jervis, a distance of SO
miles,

MARBLE QUARRY
WILL BE WORKED
The Development Of a Rich
Deposit and q Future I'M
portant Industry.

Many years ago, when the mar
BILE quarry was first brought into
prominence, no little excitement
was created throughout the State
In connection with the future pos
sibilities of such a deposit. This
section of North Louisiana was a
wilderness of massive pine forests
and without any railroad facilities.
Beautiful specimens of this mat
erial, highly polished and display
ing their many colored strata,
were sent to the State house at
Baton Rouge for exhibition. As
the present writer stood and adj
mired the elegant specimens of the
quarry, little did he dream that
after the lapse of so many years,
he would unfold the utilization of
that discovery, within touch of its
location, and that numerous lines
of railways would make feasible
its development, utilization and
transportation.
Something over two weeks ago
Messrs. Samuel II. Houston and
j. F. Coleman, of New Orleans,
were in Winfield looking into
plans and connections for the
development and transportation
of this material. They were pro-
minently interested in this marble
quarry and wished to develope the
discovery. They interviewed
prominent citizens and railway
officials, with a view of building q
railway spur to the location and
making connections with the
several lines of railroads center
ing at this place.

They have not been more charm

Her time for entertaining having

the impression prevailed that the

was fully sustained By all present.

fectly carried out throughout the
evening. First, the inevitable

NUMBER a.

As a result of these investiga-
tions and efforts, last week corps
of engineers were busily occupied
in surveying q line from this town
to the site of the quarry, q dis
tance of about five miles.
The neurological discoveries
in this section and the soil surveys
have developed, at this quarry,
the necessary material in more or
less quantities, for the manufac-
ture of a fine cement for building
purposes. 1t is, therefore, desig-
ned to construct a cement plant
quarry in connection with the
working of the stone deposit.
This material is excellent for
foundations for heavy business
houses, residences, and for paw
ing purposes. Its utility in this
respect has been amply demon
strated iu the largest cities of the
country.
The two enterprises, taken in
conjunction, will give a new inn
petus to the growth of WINFIELD,
and open another manufacturing
industry that will prove highly
important in the development and
growth of this section of the State.
just what beneficial results will
emanate from the utilization of
these natural despoits, it is i'm
possible to speculate at the pres
ent time. That the hills of Winn
parish contain equally valuable
deposits seems plausible, and
the spirit of research will lead to
their eventual discovery and util-
ization.

The idea advanced by some that with

the prohibitory laws that no doubt
would follow, the question would be
settled for all time is, we think, falla

some others taxation for example
will never be settled, but viii always be
an issue.
