PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR NEW RAILROADS
The almost simultaneous arrival of
two corps of surveyors in our city,
representing two different systems of
railways, has given Newport’s pros
pects for better railway facilities a
new coloring of crimson.
Sunday afternoon S. M. Ramsdell,
with a corps of surveyors and work
men, arrived on the Choctaw, a part of
the force going direct to Jacksonport.
Though nothing will be given out, the
Independent is advised upon good
authority that the surveyors will cross
Black river at Jacksonport and go
north to the Missouri line, where they
will meet a second party of Rock Island
men, who have been working from
Rolla, Mo., in a southerly direction to
the Arkansas line, crossing the Frisco
near Seymour.
Thus it would seem that the White
& Black River Valley branch may be
used in securing a St. Louis-Memphis
line for the Rock Island,, the gap be
tween Jacksonport and Rolla to be
lied in by the construction of that
part of the road.
Ed. L. Westbrooke of Jonesboro,
| who is known as the chief promoter
i of the Jonesboro, Newport & West
1 ern, also arrived Saturday night, and
on Monday morning started a corps
of surveyors east from here. Just
what are his intentions and prospects
he is not willing to inform the public,
but promises the construction of the
] road within the next few months.
