CHESTER n. PONDS VISIT TO
MEMPHIS HAS AGAIN STARTED
TALK OF THE ROAD TO PENsA-

The visit of Chester H. Pond to
Memphis recently has revived talk OF
the proposed road from Pensacola to
Grenada. Miss, and the Commercial
Appeal@of recent date contained the
following regarding the road:
New life has been infused into the
project OF building the Grenada-Pen-
sacola Shortline, following the visit
to Memphis Tuesday and Wednesday
of Chester H. Pond, prominent citizen
of Morehead, Miss. Those on the in
side claim the money is in sight for
the building Of the railway, ard II
agents of capitalists who viii come
to Memphis to look over the PROPOSE
ton. find everything as favorable as
it has appeared up TO the present, the
deal will go through 1t is prophesied
that actual work Will begin on the
line within six months.
According to one of those interest,
ed in the deal, the plan is to build the
line at present from Pensacola TO Gre
NADIA. and TO make traffic arrange
ments with the Illinois Central at that
point. Negotiations have progressed
so far that it is claimed the high l. y
officials, including President Harahan
view the proposed line with favor. and
are willing to make suitable arrange
ments for connections.
MIR. Pond, it is understood, has
complete surveys and maps of the
route proposed to follow. These show
the new line is not only feasible, but
that it would pass through a territory
which would prove great revenue
maker for a railway, and the grade
and curves are such that cost of Op.
Grafton would not be excessive.
The maximum curve line, as shown
by the surveys, Is only three degrees
it is claimed, and the maximum grade
about the same as that of the Illinois
Central between here and New Or
leans e.
1.-The Pensacola line has
been agitated several times before. Al
least twice in the history of the pro
posed railway, capital was ready to
invest, when some unexpected hitch
upset calculations.
'sAt one time Dmteh capital was
ready to invest A special agent was
ready to sign up, when trouble arose
over changing charters. The Dutch
became frigfHeneds cabled
to break negotiations and the project
dropped.
AT another time 1t is claimed j
Pierport Morgan blocked a deal to
build such a line, when a party of ST.
Louis millionaires were ready to put
up the money. According to the story
Morgan animated at the last minute
such a road would be hostile to some
of his holdings, and the bluff went
with the st. Louis men"
