discussion oil the question what shall be
done with the State Capital. BE writes

cation, leaving tho seat of government
meanwhile at Charleston. HC wants the
institution located somewhere In the belt
Of woods between the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad and the Chesapeake & Ohio

railroad through the Aforesaid "belL" 1t

people seriously assuming that the loca-
ton ola little ope.horss state.house some.

interior Of this State would at once stimu.
late the building Of railroads through the
almost inaccessible region thus favored.
Why would anybody build railroad to
the West Virginia Capital If located In a
remote, unpeopled and unimproved re-
gion so iorbidding in its natural features
as tho mountain region embraced by tho
belt OF wooas between 'n ls,i D. " " tN'uu
