Hon. r. N. Sims, one of Donaldson
ville's leading business men and most
prominent and progressive citizens, is
constructing on the river batture OPP
postte Port Barrow, about fifteen
hundred feet above the Bayou La
fourche dam, big coal loading sta
ton which will be one of the most
complete and modern plants of its
kind on the Mississi ppi river south Of
st. Louis, and incidentally the largest
enterprise ever established in this
community.
The tipple and its approaches will
be of standard railroad construction

largest railroad cars. The VIII arr

engines, etc, are to be located. will rest
upon foundation of creosoted piling.

of ereosote oil to The cubic foot.
The outside piles will be eighty. five
feet long, and all piles used will range
10 length from IS to IS feet. The main
structure will rest On So and SO foot
piles.
A standar gauge track will be bull
to connect with the Texas and Pacific
Railway. which will require about one

and clam shell bucket will be used to
transfer coal from the barges directly
nto the railroad cars, and it is ex-
peeted that as many as forty cars per
day can be loaded.
A most modern railroad scale will
be placed in the track between the
legee and the end OF the wharf.
The plans call for depth of nearly
eighteen feet of water at the outer ed e
of the station, at extreme low water
stage. Had this wharf been completed
at the time the Mississippi was here,
with the river gauge standing at
twenty five feet, the vessel could have
landed easily with about seventeen
feet OF water under her bottom.
The grading Of the connecting track
is almost completed. the piling are
being driven, lumber and brick are
being hauled in and the work is we'll
under way.
Mr.. Sims has arranged with the
West Kentucky Coal Company 10 sup

This should prove a great boon to
