RAILROAD FOR DARDANELLE.
_
] Central of Arkansas Officers Make
Proposition to Put Line Through
the Town.
t -
Little Rock, Ark., April 7.—The di
rectors of the Central Railway of Ar
kansas have made a proposition to the
citizens of Dardanelle whereby they
may be able to got the new road tc
pass through their town. A railroad
mass meeting was held last week at
Da: d melle at which were present F.
A. Molitor, president; W. K. Abbott,
vice-president, and Directors W. W
Gardiner and Judge J. G. Hart.
The proposition provides that the
citizens of Dardanelle furnish the
railway with free depot grounds and
right of way to Petit Jean river, and
pay one-half of the expenses incur
red in constructing the road the ex
ra seven miles necessary to include
the town in the route.
The Central Railroad of Arkansas
was incorporated on March 13 with a
capital stock of $3,000,000, to be built
from Paris, Logan county, to Hoi
Springs, about 150 miles. It is sup
posed that the parties who originally
built the Choctaw railroad are back ol
the new road, as the company has re
cently purchased large tracts of valu
able timber and mineral lands on the
proposed route. It is believed that
the road is a certainty.
