JlOfJ RELATIVE TO THE PRO
POJED NEW RAltrtOAD >
From What it considers reliable In-
formation the Herald learns that act
ive work Is to begin on the proposed
new railroad from Palestine north to
the State line and from Palestine to
tho gulf
The survey north from Palestine
was completed some months ago and
also the survey south Into Houston
county It has been stated before In
this paper and quoted from one Inter
ested In the work that the actual work
of construction will be pushed from
Palestine north and then extended
from Palestine to tho gulf after the
road had been completed to tho north
The Information now is that the work
of construction will begin early In
April or as soon as weather conditions
aro more favorable
It is certainly to bo hoped that this
good year 1907 will seo this work well
under way
