MANY IMPROVEMENTS
 ON IRON MOUNTAIN
BalIasting, Double Tracking, New De- pots and Other Work On Exten-
 sive Scale In Progress

Little Rock, Dec. 13.- More than 600 men above the regular forces are now being employed on the improvement work now being done by the Iron Noun tain on the main line south of Little Rock, according to figures from the main offices. In addi- tion to these, Hodges, Downey & Company, the contractors, who are ballasting the line it's entire length, are using more than POO men on their work. Three train crews are working, distributing the gravel which comes from the Ouachita gravel pits.
 The improvement work being oone on the line involves not only ballasting, but affects all the fa- cilities from switches to stations and offices. The banks are be- ing widened, the yard and switching facilities bettered ev- anywhere and in numbers of places new stations are being erected.
 The yard facilities at Gurdon are being increased. A double track is under construction be- tween GurdOn and Smithton. a distance of three miles. The in crease of business from the Ar kansas Southwestern and the Gurdon and Fort Smith railroad occasioned this double tracking. New waterways are being cut through the Little Missouri riv- CT bottoms for flood protection. Larger stations will be erect ed at Prescott, Philadelphia, Hope, Camden and nearly all the other larger stations to accom- modate both freight and passen- ger traffic.
 | According to estimates of of ficials, in the maintainance of way department, by the early part of 1910 the entire main line of the Iron Mountain will be re. laid with new steel, and in the majority of cases with 100 pound rails.
 The money being spent on the main line, south of Little Rock, and in fact on the entire line of the Iron Mountain in Arkansas at this time, is greater in amount than was ever before put on the line, officials of the company es- innate. The imrrovement in the state will cost more than $5, 000,000 if carried out as now planned.
