Work On Project is Already
Under Way in Baldwin
County and Citizens Are
Entrusted.
CROSS PERDIDO AT
LILLIAN PROPOSED
With SIS, 900 Stock SUBJ
scription Line Could Be
Built From Lillian to Pen
sacola it is Estimated.

The urgent demand for railroad fa-
eilities connecting Pensacola with
Baldwin county, Ala, and affording
faster and better travel advantages to
Mobile and the west, is again ami
tested, this time in the way of a pro-
jected railroad from Volanta, on the
east side of Mobile Bay, to Pensacola.
by way of Foley, Lillian and interme-
diate points.
The movement for the construction
of this road is being fostered by Mr..
Barclay, a prominent citizen and prop
erty owner of south Baldwin. Two
miles of the road is already construct
ing right along from Volanta east 1t
ed, it is declared and work is proceed
is projected through a very fine farm
ing section and the people along the
route are very anxious, he says, for its
extension into Pensacola. The road
is being built by funds raised by pop
ular subscription for stock.
The project has been taken up by
Mr. Barclay with the Pensacola Cham
ber of Commerce, with reference to
the extension of the line from Lillian
into Pensacola and the officials of the
chamber have become interested to the
extent that letters together with blue
prints of the proposed line fully de-
scriptive of the project, are being sent
out to active members of the cham
ber and business men of the city with
the understanding that the proposition
will be thoroughly investigated.
Mr.. Barclay has stated that the road,
over which is to operate at first light
motor or electric cars, can be extend
ed into Pensacola from Lillian at a
cost of approximately $4,000. The
blue prints of the projected line show
that it follows closely the course Of
the present Pensacola Lillian -Fairhope
dirt road. crossing the Perdido river
at the same point.
Mr.. Barclay says that the farmers
in south Baldwin are enthusiastic
concerning the project and that there
is absolutely no doubt of its being com
pleted at an early date from VoIanta
to Lillian. If a spirit Of encouraging
interest is manifested among Pensa-
cola people in the undertaking as is
believed will be the case, Mr.. Barclay
will come to Pensacola at an early
date for the purpose of going thor
oughly into the project with local bus
mess men through arrangements to
be made at the direction of the local
chamber officials.
Subscriptions to the project would
not be in the nature of donations, ac-
cording to the promoters. but would
be on strictly business basis of stock
issue, and it is believed that it would
soon pay for itself and that the stock
would prove profitable investment.

TRAVELLED In CRUDE
VEHICLES In EARLY
WISCONSIN TIMES

One pioneer, Freedom Simons, who
with his family came to Wisconsin in
1912 writes:
anchored in the Bay of Milwaukee,
3 half mile off shore, on the seven
teenth of September 1912.
~. AS there were no inland public
conveyances then, the best thing we
could do was to charter what was
known as a sucker team,' huge can
vas covered wagon drawn by five yoke
OF oxen After hard, weary travelling
over broad marshes, crossing bridges
made of tamarack poles, in six days
we arrived at Prairie du Sac, the place
of our destination"
Travel in those days with such
conveyances was very slow. In 1912
it took a week to go from Kenosha to
Green Bay, partly because OF the
circuitous route it was. necessary to
take. from Kenosha to Madison, Madi-
son to Fort Winnebago, and thence
over the military road to Green Bay.
