Danas, March 22,—Never since the State ceased to be a Republic has the spirit of In- fernal improvements been so rife as now. The Construction Company of the Jay Gould Syndicate have a mountain of fron, ties, ‘bridge timbers, and other material already piled up at Fort Worth, with which they will push the ‘Texas & Pacific through to El Paso in twenty-four months, and there meet Iunt- Ington coming from Callfornin, The dis- _taneé is 700 miles in round numbers, 100 of which has been put under contract, and 300 more will be before ‘midsummer. Although the bond stlpulntes the Ist of January, 1885, for the completion of the road, tho head-cen- tres of the Company say it 1s possible for it to be finished by the first of September, 1881, or just half the tine theynre bound for. ‘They have the money, can get the Inbor and material, and therefore have every iwentive to.proaecute the gigantic task in hand with all available vigor. And, as this rond will traverse as fine a country as les between Chicago and Cairo, it will quickly draw after itaniinmense stream of people, It is purely agricultural, is never visited by what you enll winter, and yet has lain dormant during tho lapse of all former ages. * Tn addition to this enterprise, there are 000 iniles of other new ronds in other portions of "Texas under way. One js ecatled the Texus Trunk, running from Dallas to Sabine Pass, onthe Enst Gulf const, n distance of 260 mifes, and which 1s being built by a Massa- chusetts company, Another line, and a part of the Houston & ‘Texas Central, is being built northwest of Waco, and which will lay down 100 miles of track by next New-Year’s Day. “i iero isn brigade of men at work upon the harrow Fay 8 rons—one between Texareana and Waco and the other Mouston and Shreveport, ‘Tho International Is ex- tepals {ts Hing from Austin to San Antonio, and Jay Gold. is all he M., K. & ‘I, from Denison ‘through Gatnesvilis and Denton to Dallas, and from here strike out southwest toward the Kio Grande.

JAN JACINTO, , SOUTHWESTERN POOL. It 1s understood that the Chicago & Alton and tho St, Louls, Wabash & Pacitle will ask for a new arbitration In regard to the award of percentages between St. Louis and Mis- sourl River points, Under the rules of tho new Missourl River agreement thoy will have to make such request within five days after the promulgation of the award, and the time expires Monday, As already stated in yesterduy’s Trimune, tho Missouri Pacific got 41.0 per cent, the Wabash, St. Louls & Pacllic 20,3, and the Alton 23,8, ‘The Inst two ronds claim that the Missouri Pacitic is not ontitled to suchan amount as was nwarded to it by the arbitrators. They, on the other hand, claim that these “ roads have. no cause for complaint, and t all thoy are entitled to. ‘The statements subinitted to the arbitrators showed that the amount of business dono by the thres ronds from Sept. tte tho present ting amounted to 45 per cent by the Missourt Paeille, 31 per cent by the Wabash, St. Louls & Paeilie, and 24-por cent by tho Uhleago & Alton, On those figures they hat to base their award, and it could be seen froin the awards that they had but Httle cause for complaint, and the Alton particularly got lore than was warranted by the statements of previous business done by this road. it ig claimed, however, that the statements above referred to did not give the tras standard on which to baso the awards, as the Missourl Pacific had run up its percentages by cutting the rates and generally violating tho agrecinent. if tha nwards to be made by the ChitcaRo arbitrators. next week prove io more satls- fuetory than the St. Louls awards, there is a good prospect thatthe Missourl Yuver pool will suffer n grand sinagh-wp after Sept, 1, until which time the pool haste continue in existence according to the lute agreement, ” THE SOUTIIERN ROADS, Loursviun, Ky., March 20.—A meeting of tha Loulsville & Nashyllte Railrond stock- holders was held to-day to take action on the recent purchases of tho management,—t. e, the controlling interest in the Nashville & Chattanoogn, Moblie & Montgomery, Pensa- cola & Gulf, Selina & Gulf, the propused ac- quisition of the Mobile, New Orleans & ‘Toxns, ete, all of which Was approved, Nasivii ‘Tenn, i Manoger F. ‘Defuntal of. the vi Nashville and Great Southorn Railroads, are rived this morning, und took full charge of the Nashville, Chittanooga & St. Louls Hall way.

One thousand seven hundred and sixty enbie yards of gravel, or even of cluy and gravel mixed, will complete the mile of road good enough fur artillery. In doing the plowing a little forethought will provide ngalnst the gravel belug worked off tho roud Into theside ditches. ‘The gravel enn be made to stay after it fs placed by first laying out two lands, side by side, ench one rod wide. On the centre Jines of the two Jands all the rocks now Incwmbering the present roads should be buried in Ine to be covered by the blowin y, unless they should be needed for culvert abutments. When the two lands are plowed and honed up on the inslde there will be two side ditches and a hollowed out road-bed formed, In the centre of the road-bed thus finished with the hone, run ashevel-plow to open 9 channel for un underdraln, the centro underdrain can be filled with the coarsest and pitrest obtainable, until neariug the culvert, in perlinps ft would be better to lays few rods of lle. ‘Thon on with the gravel, or elay and grayel mixed, ng the case may be, ‘until tye space between the ridges of the two Jands'Rte tilled and slightly rounded up, ‘Tho theoretleal width of the roai-bed be, tween the two ridges {3 sixteen and n halt fest. but poettenlly: after allowing for the lnvs of the back furrows wnd the deposit mado towards the tops of the ridges by the hone, the width on top of the gravel will be only twelve feet. None of this: work re- quires a Wauchope,’ but any farmer can work up to the plan with such finplements as he keeps constantly on hand and with whose use he Is perfectly fuuillar, ‘The after work will consist In plowing over the two sldes, fuming the furrows toward the gravel until the side diteles are of the desired depth, and iiso in keeping up a good drainage for the culverts and side ditehes, an& In repatring any holes whieh may be made In thy read, Which can be done an- unally by the poll-tax labor of the district, ‘The hands of an average rond district ean ike a mile of such roud every year and not feel the drain on the financial resources of the people ofthe distriet. “Tho peuple can Inve these ronds whenever they really want them, and nobody is opposed to them, even wealthy eattla men being in favor of anything that will add to the valus of thelr property without additional cost. In regard to the cust of a rond of this de- scription something like an approximant estl- tate can bo made by calculating the time re- quired for the plowing, honing, and gray hauling, ‘The first lowing willbe four acres to tho mille of road. ‘The Honing will take one round with a triple team. ‘The opentry of the centre drain with a shovel-plow wii be one round a mite In length to the mile of road.
