City Independent, writing from Somer-

the railroad projects in Monroe county
"Bobbing around Since our last
writing, we have been taking a trip
down the Captina valley, the proposed
route of the McConnellsville Railroad /;
we were not surveying, but. we wonder
how they ever expect to run railroad
along creek so crooked that snake
can't swim up it. Some of the people
favor the Bellaire and S W. road, which
is to be narrow gauge, and seem to
have all confidence in the project. i
