Men Are at Work Building up Rail-
road Property South Of LAGRANGE,
to Level Of the Lcvee
There.
WILL WORK SIX WEEKS
Job Means Putting Track Seven. Feet
Above Present Level for Dis
lance of Several Hundred
Yards.

LAGRANGE, Mo-, July 12.-Fifty
men are at work on the Burlington
right-of-way near the new levee south
of Lagrange raising the tracks seven
feet ABOVE the present height.
The Burlington has a fine rock bal
lasted track along the river, but for
years it has been subject to overflow
when the Mississippi rose above nor
NAL stage. Recently steps were taken
to protect thousands of acres in the
bottoms" and one of the levees
crossed the railroad property about
five miles south of town. 1t is at this
point that the tracks will be brought
up almost to the top Of the levee.
The latter is nine feet high, but
shrinkage Of two feet is allowed.
When the levee settles the tracks
will be at level with the top, at a
height Of seven feet.
A "dirt plow" is being used to I'M
load the dirt from the fiat cars. Ten
or twelve cars are unloaded in few
minutes with this pillow, which is
pulled the entire length of the train
by cable and special engine. Sew
eral men follow the pillow and shovel
out the small quantity of dirt that Is
left in the corners of the cars. The
dirt is brought here in train loads
from Wayland. on the K. & w.
Most of the men employed in the
gang are used in shoveling the dirt
under the ties. This process of rails
ing several hundred yards of track to
such height with trains running by
every few hours is necessarily slow
and it will be five or six weeks before
the job is completed Conductor
Smashey is in charge of the work
train and the unloading.

The Frosties.
The little Frosties fluttered down
One clear October might,
And lit among the garden flowers
That had been our delight.
They did their work in silence,
But oh, they did it we'll,
And half the mischief that they did
My pen could never tell.
The NAPLES watched the Frosties
Until the might had sped,
And were so shocked at what the,
saw,
They blushed fiery red.
