And last month, December, 1914,
the traffic across that line was about
$4,000 tons of freight, passing from
Milwaukee through Grand Haven,
over the Detroit and Milwaukee road,
and finding itsyway to the seaboard.
Now I wish to call your attention to
the prominent fact that by this road
the distance from Milwaukee to the
seaboard is shortened about $50
miles. And from Grand Haven to
Portsmouth, and thence by Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad to the sea
board, the distance is 270 miles less
than by the present northern route
taking us to New York. Not only
that, hut the line of the road through
from Grand Haven Is in a southeaster
~ direction, passing diagopally, as
our counties are laid out, through
the principal towns of those counties;
and in the distance of four hundred
miles it crosses over thirty railways
running east and west, making
crossing of another railway about
every eleven miles of the entire
length of the road. Another point
is that it will run through different
legrees of latitude, so that the pro
ducts of the northern regions can be
exchanged for those of the more
southerly. Now what have we to
exchange? References, has been made
to our vast lumber interests. There
is gentleman on the platform here
who is probably one of the largest
operators in that interest in AIichi-
gan, having to day in his yard some
where from thirteen to fifteen mil
lion feet of lumber ready for trans
portation. Almost every day of the
week can be seen vast quantities
loading for all points of the country,
Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Denver. Directly north
of us at Muskegan is another point,
the largest manufacturing point
within the range of one township,
that there is in the world. Saginaw
is large lumber manufacturing re-
gion.
Now there is another point that
has not been referred to specifically.
That is, there is not a grade along the
whole line of the projected railway
that will exceed twenty six feet to the
mile. The value of Ibis will be un-
derstood by men conversant with
railroads. With such a grade an
amount of business can be done by
it that no other contiguous road in
the country can perform. Connect
ing this road with the Chesapeake Il
Ohio, we will have the best and
shortest route to the seaboard. Col.
Ferry said that they would have the
road completed at the earliest posi-

DecaIcOnaania.

This is the name of a comparatively new
art that is attracting considerable attention
at the present time. 1t consists in trans
ferring pictures which have been printed
upon paper in high and beautiful colors to
any object one may wish to ornament, such
as work boxes, vases, flower pots, articles of
furniture, &C. When transferred these
pictures look as if painted upon the article
ornamented, and they are much more at
tractive and beautiful than they would be
if painted with brush, unless executed by
very skillful artist; indeed this beautiful
art offers complete substitute for the pro-
cess of hand painting for most purposes.
subjects, such as heads, landscapes, ami
mails, insects, flowers, comic figures, &c
The art is easily acquired, and children
even soon become experts, Transferring
these pictures is charming pastime for old
or young, and serves to cultivate taste
for the beautiful We have received from
J. L. Patten 4 Co., II Pine Street, New
York, who are dealers in transfer pictures,
some handsome pictures of their goods.
These gentlemen will, for the small sum OF
ten cents, send full instructions in this
beautiful art, together with ten handsome
samples of the pictures, or for fifty cents
they will send one hundred attractive pic
lures.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO
RAILROAD.
Its Extent, Equipments. and
Prospects.


Prospects.
The seventh annual report of the
President and Directors of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company
was issued a few days since The
President notes a continued in
crease of local business during 1874,
and prophesies great future for the
road, whenever the coal, iron and
lumber regions through which it
passes become developed. He an
nounces the propositions of the Com
pany for funding its floating indebt-
edness and portion of the interest
on its mortg ge debt into income
bonds, have not been assented to by
number of creditors, and thinks up
on their final decision the future of
the enterprise depends. He strong
ly urges that connection be made
with the roads to the West and
Southwest. The earnings for tie
year have been S1,460, ,199 SO, an
increase of S249,681 %, over 1928;
and the expenses S1,214,340 4S, a
decrease of S334,64O AZ, below
1923. During the year 13 45-100
miles of the road have been relaid
with steel rails, 181 miles of old rails
have been substituted for worn track,
16 42-10O miles of new sidings have
been constructed of old rails. One
hundred and ten thousand, nine hun
dred and eighty seven cross ties have
been put in the main track, and 3d.
636 in side tracks. The bridges and
trestles are all in good condition, ex-
cept that at the first crossing of
Jackson's River, which may have to
be rebuilt during the year. Depots
have been built at Quinnimont and
Guyandotte, and one removed from
West Guyandotte to Sewell. The
length of main track and sidings is
497 45-100 miles, There is guam
tity of cross-ties and material on
hand. The estimated cost of main
tenance for next year is within three
hundred thousand dollars. The
equipment consists of 70 locomotives,
"a passenger cars, II baggage, mail,
and express cars; 1 pay car, 1 drov-
er's car, 10 caboose cars, 852 box

lsOhs
Mr.. EDITOR Il would ask little
space in your journal for few words
on a subject which seems to be agita-
ting your citizens somewhat, viz:
Gas Works.
A friend tells me, the Hillsborough
City Council is about to invest its
available funds in a Town Hall in
preference to coal Gas Works. The
known dangers of naptha, gasoline,
etc, should think, would preclude
the idea of their use for gas purposes.
Have the Council considered the val
ue of an investment in Gas Stock
Do they know that Alexandria, Va,
and Frankfort, KY, are deriving n
rich revenue from their Gas Works ?
And if the Council refuse to act,
will the citizens let such an invest
ment pass from their hands? Have
they their money so well invested
that $4,000 cannot be raised for
Works which will pay ten or twelve
per cent?
have heard that Hillsboro would
have 12O private consumers and so
street lamps If such is the case, with
coal at 20 cents per bushel, the
Works properly managed would pay
20 per cent. annual dividends on
$4,000 capital stock, charging $3.50
per 1000 feet to private consumers,
and So for street lamps.
Besides, a home company would
have more consideration for the pub
lie wants, and fewer complaints would
be heard.
If the people will raise the stock,
invite competing bids from contract
ing engineers, pay close attention to
specifications, and secure a comre-
tant Superintendent, they will secure
a financial benefit to themselves with
out the usual accompanying trouble.

humorous and amusing without ever
stopping to the treatment of its sub
