CANTON, o. June IL, 1915.
DEAR SiR--At the last session of our Lepis
lature charter was granted to construct ;
railroad between this place and Akron, and a
careful survey of the line BY Geo. 4. White
Es1. an engineer of much experience, has
been mids, with view to ascertain the prac-
ticdblity and cost of the work, report of
which you will see in our papers.
The charter allows the company to extend
the road northward TO the lakes and south
ward TO the Ohio river at any point which il
may prefer. To reach the Lake at Cleveland
either the valley of the Cuyahoga, or the high
lands west of that river offer cheap and feas.
ible routes. To reach the Ohio river at
Wheeling, the valleys OF Nemishilen and
Sandy creeks TO the Tuscarawas river, the val
ley OF that river to the mouth of the Stillwa.
ter, following up that stream to it's source
near Morristown in Belmont county. and
thence crossing the dividing ridge to the head
waters OF Indian Wheeling Creek, and down
that stream to its connection with the Ohio
river opposite Wheeling, is perhaps the most
favorable route that can be selected. Another
and perhaps very good one may be had by
diverging from the former near ZoaI, i'm Tus-
Caravans county, at the mouth of Kunaten
Creek, following that stream upwards to its
source near n. Rumey, where its head BRAN
ches interlock with the watcrsaf Cross Creek,
down The latter stream to the Ohio below
Steubenville, and thence following the west
branch of the Ohio downward to Bridgeport
opposite Wheeling. The dividing ridge be-
tween the waters of the o hio and Tuscarawas
may likewise b. passed near Cadiz and the
Ohio reach:l near Tiltonsville with but little
Either of these routes will pass
through fertile and well cultivated districts of
country, and by numerous and thriving villa
ges.
Should the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road
terminate at Wheeling, we are confidently
calculating on connecting it with Lake Erie at
Cleveland. When this is accomplished the
tanners and produce dealers of Northern Ohio
will have choice of Markets. They can 90
either northward TO the Lake, Southwark to
the towns on the Ohio and Mississippi, or east
ward to the Atlantic cities.

Dear Sir,--It being
Court day here, and this being the day which
was appointed for the purpose of clecting
Delegates to the Fairmonl Rail Road Cunycn-
lion, accordingly, meetingi was held this
day at J O'Clock. There was some spirited
and strong resolutions in favor of the Vince
ling terminus, offered and passed without a
dissenting voice. There was one hundred and
fifty delegates elected, and thinkat least one
hundred OF them will go The meeting was
composed of men from all the different parts
of the county. There seems to be but one
opinion among our people, and that isin favor
oi the Wheeling terminus. | am informed
that Preston win send her quota of Delegates,
instructed to go for Wheeling. Thus YOU see,
as informed You sometime back, that this
por N OF the North West are waking up 10
their true interests. The Convention will be
large one, much more imposing, if mdica-
tons speak anything than the Clarksburg
