 Leslie Bennett first came north in 1911, His first act after secur- ing a job, that goal of ali chee- Chacoes, was to enter himself on the staff of local baseball players And it is the opinion of more than one enthusiast that Leslie T those days was one of the best men at the game who ever stepped over Q plate In addition. he entered into the social life of the camp. making il better by an ever cheerI diSpOsi- tion and kind word for everyone As a consequence, Leslie Bennett could take every man in town by the hand and call him friend Ii is. then, no wonder that these same old friends, although Leslie and his wife have been gone from Fairbanks for two years, should step into the breach and help out when help is needed

READY for use The moving Of the sta
ton, instead Of tearing it down and build
ing It over again, was found TO be more
economical and also could be done much
quicker.
Over sixty-ive per cent OF the double
track Of the Southern Railway between
Washington and Atlanta has now been
completed ami il in use. The entire dis
tdncc from Washington to Charlotte. $50
miles. will be completely double-tracked
in about six months. The line between
Charlotte and Atlanta is. for the most
part under contract and some OF the
double track is already in service. To
double track all Of this line. reducing the
grades and cutting out many curves. is a
big undertaking, as the line runs along
the foothills Of the Blue Ridge and the
Allegheny Mountains. and at some places
the wCIk is very heavy. particularly in
the vicinity Of Mount Airy and Toccoa,
Ga which is one Of the most noun
famous sections through which the main
line from Washington to Atlanta passes.
The double tracking Of the Southern Rail
way line between Washington and At
lanta is the largest and most progressive
railroad construction movement that has
ever been undertaken in the South and
entails an expenditure Of many millions
Of dollars. but the faith Of the Southern
Railway in the people and the country
which it serves is unboundcd.
The Washington herald., 1916-08-13

AS a part Of the double-track system
which the Southern Railway is now pro-
Ceeding with between Washington, D. c.
and Atlanta, Ga, distance of 6i9 miles
through the Piedmont section Of the
South, along the eastern slope of the
Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, the
wonderful concrete double-track viaduct
across the Dan River at Danville, Va,
stands out with prominence.
These Improvements in and around
DanVile will represent an outlay of about
81. 10000 and provide for a modern. up
to-date double-track railroad. The bridge,
as well as the doubIe-traCk line north
and south Of Dlnville. have been COM
pleted and are now in service. The bridge
as indicated by the accompanying picture,
is a very beautiful structure.
4 dificult engineering feat in connec-
tion with the Improvements at DanvIlle
is the moving of the entire Southern
Railway station from its former location
to its permanent new location. a distance
OF over nifty feet. across a street. This
passenger station is a brick structure
weighing 100 tons. and it is a difficult
engineering feat to move it intact to its
proper place alongside the new double
track line. This has been accomplished,
however. keeping the station in Condi-
ton. and a few finishing touches and
some fresh paint will make the station,
which is large two-story structure.
