IRON MOUNTAIN

Retail Merchants Association Re.
ceives Letter Announcing In

The Iron Mountain railroad viii
resume traffic tomorrow between
Cairo and Poplar Bluff, Mo. Ar
rangements have been made with the
Cotton Belt railroad to use its
tracks from Sanno, point six miles
from Charleston at the junction of
the Belmont branch with the Cot
ton Belt.
A letter. was received last night
by Secretary Chas. Gilhofer of the
Cairo Retail Merchants Association.
1t was sent by Commercial Agent
Ray McWilliams of the Iron Noun
tain, who is at Poplar Bluff where
he went to see Superintendent Can
non in regard to getting service into
Cairo at the request OF the Retail
Merchants Association The letter
follows:
Charles Gilhofer, Sec'y,
''To and from Cairo our regular
trains will run Via Somos. Mo
on the Cotton Belt to Cairo via
Birds Point. Could not get our
tracks in shape in time to take care
Of United Commercial Travellers but
wanted to take care of Cairo. This
service will be maintained until our
line is repaired"
Last week the Retail Merchants
filed a request with the Iron Noun
tain asking for resumption of traffic
on this part of the line as soon a.
possible. 1t seems the good work
of the association has had it's effect
| for the company, after hnding they
could not get its track in shape be-
tween Charleston and Cairo for
some time decided to make arrange
monts with the Cotton Belt for use OF
its tracks. The merchants and bust
ness people generally will appreciate
| the accommodation shown them by
the Iron Mountain.
The high water six or seven weeks
ago caused much damage to the Iron
Mountain. The damage would have
been repaired long ago had 1t not
been for the second rise which pro-
vented, for a time, this work.
