The Arabic is the first Of about a
dozen incoming ships wtose course

regarded as unlikely that any Of

ONE MILLION
LOSS IN cub
Great Hurricane Sweeps Island Wit
TOrrentaI Floods Causing Devasta
ton and Ruin.

HAVANA, Oct. 1S.-The island OF
Cuba has probably sustained Che
greatest material disaster in all her
history in the practically continuous
hurricane which began with igh:
aims Thursday morning, developing
nto torrental floods and devastating
hurricanes and continuing until Tues-
lay.
1t Is impossible to estimate. even;
roughly, the amount of damage which
doubtless will aggregate many mil
ions of dollars. In addition to the
great destruction to the sugar and
tobacco plantations many thousands
If peasants in the three Western pro-
'inces have been rendered homeless
and destitute.
1t now seems probable that the Re
public may be compelled to request
international aid. While all com
munications with the interior has
been cut off there is reason to hope
that three provinces have escaped
the greatest fury of the storm.
In the city of Havana the losses
probably will exceed a million dollars
mainly due to the destruction of the
custom house sheds which were filleC
with perishable goods, the sinking OF
scores Of lighters. many of them con.
tanning valuable cargoes which haC
been unloaded from steamers, and tn.
submerging of about square mile OF
the residential section of the city
facing the sea.

CONTRACTS FOR
|. & {. EXTENSION
Let to Five Firms and Line Through
the Rich Coal Fields Will Be Com
pletcd BY September 80, 1911.

One Of the most important moves
looking towards the realization Of a
Greater Winchester" that has been
made in years, was that made lasi
week in Louisville when contracts
were let for an S0-mile extension
of the Lexington and EG stern Rail
road from Jackson into the heart of
the rich coal and timber fields of
Eastern Kentucky.
The completion of this extension,
bringing that hitherto undeveloped
section of the State into direct COM
munication with Winchester means
much commercially and industrialy
to this city and will undoubtedly add
materially to its growth, development
and prosperity.
Instead of w. J. Oliver, of Knox
vile, Tenn, securing the entire con-
tract, as reported in the early dis
patches, it was divided among five
competing firms, each being given a
section of sixteen miles to complete.
The contractors are Lane Brothers.
an Ohio firm, which was awarded the
first sixteen miles above Jackson !;
Mason Hanger & Co., Richmond, KY:
Jones Brothers, Richmond, Va; w. j.
Oliver, Knoxville, Tenn, and Lux
Construction Company, Springfield,
Ohio.
Actual work will begin on the ex-
tension within the next ten days OF
two weeks and the contract calls for
its completion not later than Sep
TENDER 30, 1911. SO it will be seen
that within the next year trains wit!
be running over the extension and
bringing into Winchester passengers
and produce from this extensive and
rich undeveloped territory.
The extension, which will follow
the North Fork of the Kentucky Riy
er, will extend through Breathitt.
cross Perry and penetrate far into
Letcher, passing beyond Whitesburg
almost to the foot Of the Cumberland
Mountains. The estimated cost Of
the new line, according TO Civil En-
gineer William A. Newman. of Lex
ington, who has been assisting the
engineering corps at work Immediate
ly above Jackson, Is approximately
$4,000 per mile, or about $4,000
900 for the entire eighty nile extern
sion. The proposed route crosses
the North Fork of the Kentucky u
times, necessitating the construction
of that many bridges. There will
also be six tunnels on the lines, but
none of them Of unusual length, so
Mr.. Newman says.
During the last six months the l..
& f, has built three miles of new
road above jackson, which will be
completed within the next month. The
proposed extension will start at the
end of the three miles Of new road,
which is not included in the S0-mile
contract Just let, and each contract
ing firm will push with vigor his sec
ton, thus Fastening the completion
of the entire extension.
Mr.. Newman says the new extern
sion will penetrate the richest coal
field in Kentucky and one of the rich
est in the United, States, not to men
ton a vast area of comparatively
virgin forest Astounding in some OF
the finest timber in the world, all OF
which will be made tributary to Win
chester by the building of the new
railroad

very interesting to all The Grand
