VALLEY RAILRoAD.-We find this in the Akron
Ar5ls in regard to letter recently published in
the Cleveland Herald; "a special correspondent
Of the Cleveland Herald has recently been looking
up its prospects in Canton. All the people there
seem to be enthusiastic for its completion and are
willing to do more than their share. In talking
with Mr. James Farmer, that gentleman said that
some people in Canton seemed to fear that the
road would be finished to Akron and then stop,
but, said Mr. Farmer "there is no truth in that
statement. The reason there is no work done on
the Valley Road now is because we are waiting.
until we are sure that we have ample funds with
which to finish it. We don't want to touch 1t
again until we can go beyond Akron entirely to
Canton. The coal fields that we wish to tap do
not begin until we have passed Akron"
