SHENANDOAH VALLEY RoAD.-The prospect o f
the early completion of this road as 1atterlng.
Work is progressing as rapidly as possible on
the line up to Lur y, and arrangements are be-
ing made to locate the route to its connection
with the Chesapeake & Ohio road, either st
Staunton or Baskerville. The advantage Of
Stanton as the point of intersection, independ-
ent Of its central position, and the trade already
established here, are found in it being only one
hafmile farther in distance than Baskerville would
be. and making the conn ection here, would save
the distance of six miles between Staunton and
Baskerville on the Chesapeake 8 Ohio bed, which
the Shenandoah Valley would have TO use, to
make its Southwest detour.
Last week, Mr.. VIM. McLelland, president Of
the Shenandoah Valley road, ex-Goy. A. G.
Curtin, of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Morris, chief en-
gineer of the road. and Jonas Walker, vice Pres-
dent, visited staunton, for purposes of observa-
