GRAND ISLE PLANS
BIG DEVELOPMENT
OF COAST TRADE

The New Orleans Southern and
Grand Isle is making rapid strides in
Improvement to roadway, addition to
equipment and big development of
trade in the rich lower coast section,
under the careful direction of II. d.
Emerson, general manager.
Since Mr.. Emerson took charge of
the property, the development cam
paign has gone steadily forward, and
the members of the syndicate taking
over the line are gratified with the
general outlook, and during the win
ter big plans for the opening up of
the lower coast country may be an
nounced.
Mr.. Emerson has thoroughly reor-
ganized the traffic and operating
forces, and. as a result of the reor-
ganization, heavy freight is now being
handled to the United States engin-
GERS At Burrwood, Southwest Pass.
The Grand Isle handled two carloads
of machinery to Burrwood, for Major
Schulz, the United States engineer in
charge of the work. The freight was
carried by rail to Buras and then ship
ped by barge to Burrwood Such
freight was formerly shipped from
New Orleans to Burrwood by water
requiring from two to three days in
transit. The railroad made very
quick time with the machinery ship
ment to the engineers, and a new
channel for rapid freight to the passes
was created.
With the improvements being made
by the New Orleans, Fort Jackson and
Grand Isle, the farmers and agricul-
turists on the lower coast are plan
ming more extensive planting and cul-
tivation of their acres. Mr.. Strobel,
the travelling freight agent, is of the
opinion that 10000 boxes of oranges
will be shipped to the New Orleans
market for distribution over the coun-
try from the lower coast section
reached by the Grand Isle.
1t is probable that Mr.. Emerson will
inauguarate excursions during the
coming winter to afford visitors the
opportunity Of seeing the rich orange
grove section under full cultivation so
close to New Orleans.

PRESENTED WITH HANDSOME
OIL PAINTING.

Superintendent Jas. w Reynolds
was rendered a most agreeable sur
prise Saturday morning, when he was
presented with a handsome oil paint
ing of himself.
The picture is a splendid likeness
of Chief Reynolds and is indeed a
work of art. 1t is beautifully framed.
He is at a loss, however, as to whom
he shall extend thanks for the beauti-
full gift as the donors did not make
their identity known.
With the picture was a note that
friends of the chief believed Mrs. Rey-
nolds might like to hang it on the
wall of the parlor at home.
The donors remained anonymous,
and while the chief was trying to re-
cover, the one who presented it dis
appeared. Apparently the only clue
for Reynolds is the signature on the
painting-that of Chicago artist.
