OF THE VALLEY RAILROAD.

The nearest coal field to Cleveland by ten or
fifteen miles Is by the Valley Railroad, and from
Akron south to the Ohio river that entire line
passes through clay BEDS coal fields, iron ore FIRE
clay, and 30 on, to say nothing Of the immense
and already developed manufacturing interests
that teek competitive outlet through this route
Within sixty days the Valley Railroad could be
completed and in operation to Canton, running
through twenty miles Of coal, for half the money
it would take to get ready new line which
would not, after all, be put In operation under
year. Not only is the Valley Railway the shortest
line by miles that Cleveland can possibly get to
the coal fields, but II has fewer curves and the
grades are all in Its favor so that one of Its loco
motives could haul 100 loaded cars to Cleveland
with greater ease than the same engine could
twenty five such cars on the Tuscarawas Valley
line, for example. IT is all right for Cleveland to
build new railroads, as many as she wants or
likes, but to an outsider II wou d seem only bust
ness sense TO complete the directest route first
and get the benefit of the investment in that and
the business 1t will bring The other projects can
be taken up In their order.-Akron Beacon.
