BU|LDPOWER PLANT
Rock Island Has Begun Construc-
tion Work at Dallas, Marion Co.
WILL OPERATE BY ELECTRICITY
Plan Is Said To Include the Line
From Des Moines to Princeton
About One Hundred and
Twenty Miles of Road.

Des Moines.-The Rock Island rail-
road has begun construction work on
a large power plant at Dallas, in
Marion county, which is on the line
of the new Rock Island line from
Carlisle to Allerton and the center
of the immense new coal fields which
the new line will enter. 1t is re-
ported in railroad circles that this
new power plant will generate cleo
tricity for the operation Of interur-
ban freight and passenger trains over
certain of the Rock Island lines radi-
ating from Des Moines. This plan of
identification Is said to include the
line from Des Moines to Princeton,
Mo-, a distance of about 12G miles,
which will be open for traffic when
the new track from Carlisle to AL
lerton is finished, the line between
Des Moines and Winterset and the
line from Des Moines to Newton.
1t is supposed that the Rock Is
land will double track its line from
Altoona to Colfax and then use the
old Newton & Northwestern from
Colfax to Newton to afford double
track electric line from Des Moines
to Newton.
