pleased with our trip does not half
express it. We feel that 4 great
work has been accomplished that
will result in Natchitoches having
new railroad by Jan. 1st, 1916,
which will give us direct connec-
ton with deep water. This road
when completed Will be at least
125 miles shorter by direct route
from St. Louis, Mo-, to deep
water.
There are now 81 miles of our
road already completed and laid
with 65 ID steel rails and ready
for operation; and s miles already
graded and awaiting the laying of
similar steel. When this is done
the Is miles will then be operated
Work of surveying from Leesvllle
to Natchitoches and locating the
permanent route will commence
on Feb. 18th and be completed
within 100 days. The Go. has
contracted with noted engineer,
now in the employ of the u. ).
Government, to represent it in the
construction of the road. This
alone will give added value to 1t
and satisfy the most skeptlcal OF
the earnestncsS of the Companies
to build and complete a tirst-cIass
road.
Now in conclusion we must say
that we are unable to lind words
sufficient to express our deep APP
probation OF the splendid treat
ment accorded Us by the citizens
of the several cities we VISITED.
Our stops at each place were made
most enjoyable and the many
courtesies extended us were indeed
gratifying.
Mr.. Ed. Kennedy, the one
above all who has worked 50 hard
continuously for the building of
| this road has been untiring in his
efforts and it does seem now that
success Will soon crovn lis efforts.
He is called bY his friends all
through that section of the State
"All Steam Ahead Kennedy. A
most appropriate nickname, for
Mr.. Kennedy never tries and is
always ready to go whenever it
means something for the 0. n.
E. Ry. Go.
We desire now to express our
thanks to the several gentlemen
who made our trip SO pleasant and
as a proof of our appreciation, we
say to them, one and all, we will
come again soon."
1t is almost impossible to tell
the great advantages that will
accrue to Natchitoches parish in
the building of this road 1t will
pass through section of the
parish that is badly in need OF
some railroad facilities. The great
virgin forest, the finest in the
world, will be penetrated to the
mutual advantage of all concerned
i That the Natchitoches people are
and have been deeply interested
j from the beginning in the building
I of the 0. N. E. is clearly evi
denced by the voting of a tax witt
scarcely dissenting voice wher
the project was first mooted anc
the free outlay of money that ha'
been made from time to time by
the local projectors without any
thought of personal benefit.
They are all impatient for thu

Just as soon as possible so that tn

One of the best ways to cure
unequal assessment of lands, Town
