JUDGE FIELD PAYS C. & W. V. VISIT

First Tour of Inspedtion He Has Made —Himself and Other Direo tqn* Hunted In Marsh. Judge Field, vice-president of the Monon and also the C. & W. V. railway, together with other directors of the C. & W. V., made an inspection of the line last Friday and Saturday. They went to McCoyaburg on the milk train Thursday evening in President Kurrie’s private car, where they were met by General Manager F. E. Lewis with a special train, to which Mr. Kurrie’s car was attached. Some of the directors availed themselves of the opportunity to hunt a little in the Kankakee marshes. This is the first trip that these directors had made over he property and they expressed themselves as well pleased and surprised that the property was in as good condition as it is and complimented the local management on the way the property had been managed and cared for. Considerable improvement is contemplated next year. There will be several miles of heavier rails laid, grades raised across the marshes, new ties put in and in fact, the work

of reconstructing the line will progress as fast as possible.
