Sale of West Virginia Timber
LANDS.

The new railroad lines that have
penetrated the southern section of
our State are being followed with the
noise of the woodman's axe, and our
grand forests Of valuable timber are
about to become famous in the mar
kets of the world.
Mr.. VIM. l.. Rawson, the general
agent of the lumber department of
the Chesapeake and Ohio road, who
is giving his attention to the devel-
opment of the timber business along
the line of that road, informs the ed
itor of The Virgtaids Of the con
summation of the sale of valuable
timber lands hitherto made in West
Virginia. The lands sold are about
$4,000 acres of selected white pine
timber, located mainly in Pocahon-
tas county, but partly in Greenbrier,
all on the waters of Greenbrier river
by which an outlet for the timber is
had to Reconverte, on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad, where the
mills are situated for converting the
logs foated down the Green brier into
lumber
The stumpage of Write pine on
these lands is estimated to be 100,-
100000 feet The purchase includes
also the valuable mill site at Recon
verte, and the franchise of the St.
Lawrence Boom and Manufacturing
Company. The price paid for these
properties was 100000. The pur-
chasers are Messrs. Camp, imports,
Motley and Driscoll, all practical
lumbermen from Indiana county, Pa.
men who have means, experience and
energy to successfully conduct the
business they have now undertaken
in West Virginia. They have taken
possession of their purchase and are
now making further Improvements in
the channels of Greenbrier river and
of it's Anthony's creek branch, so
logs can be more easily run down
those streams. They are now cut
ting from three and ne-half to four
million feet Of white pine, on An
thongs creek, which they will float
out during the coming season, and
also considerable quantity Of long
timber to be RATED down the Green
lbrier-Re0ister.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
Road.

Baltimore San, r3th inst.
The board of directors of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company at
their monthly meeting yesterday,
declared cash dividends Of five per
cent on the stock of the main stem
and Washington branch for the fiscal
half year ended September 30, on the
recommendation Of President Garrett.
A statement of the earnings of the
Main line and branches for Septem-
Der was made by Mr.. Garrett, show
ing a total Of 81, $4,000, against 81
$4,000 for the same month of 1880
The decrease was in the receipts from
tonnage, and the passenger business
shows a gratifying increase. Mr..
Garrett says: "this exhibit proved
in very satisfactory manner the
wisdom Of the management of the
company in maintaining its tariffs
upon just and proper bases, as com
pared with other cities, and shows
conclusively the ability of the Balti-
more and Ohio to permanently main
tain the principals which have so
many years governed it, notwith
standing the recklessly low rates
made on some descriptions Of traffic
by Northern lines" He stated that
after the payment of ten per cent in
cash dividends upon tie common
stock of the company For the fiscal
year which ended September 80, up
ward of ST. 100000 will be added to
its surplus fand, which is not repre-
sented by stock or bonds. The
board declined to accept the condi-
items offered by the city council of
Wheeling for the extension of the
road through that city. Mr.. Garrett
announced that the Somerset and
Cambria (Pa.) Railroad, 46 miles
long, an enterprise of the Baltimore
and Ohio, has been completed, and
that an excursion of Baltimore mer-
chants over the new road to the great
iron manufacturing town of Johns
town will be made under the AUSPICES
of the Baltimore and Ohio this au-
tumn. This intelligence Of the com
pletion of q new railroad connection
with Baltimore comes apportunely at
the close of the city's Oriole festival
season, the success of which the Bal
timore and Ohio did much to pro-
mole

We rendered the directors Of the
State Fair some advice on several oc-
casions about advertising the Fair.
They didn't fall in with our sugges-
ton and now when it is too late the
Register remarks on the same sub
ject: awhile much credit is due to
the Board of Directors in getting the
buildings track and exhibits into
shape, 1t must be confessed that too
little attention was given to ADVERT
sing the Fair in the neighboring
towns. Excursion trains should
have been run on all the railroads
leading into the city and outside men
should have been detailed to work up
an interest in the surroundings and
personally attend to seeing that ex-
cursionists from neighboring villages
and cities had the proper attention"
''The Baltimore Oriole is depicting
towns out the B. & O. railraod. Be
ing better advertised than our State
Fair it gets the spare money that
under reverse circumstances would
come here"
"a Queensware merchant Of this
city, who was in Parkersburg a few
days ago, spoke to several merchants
about our State Fair but they had
heard nothing of it. He reports that
there seemed to be prevailing igno-
rance of the fact down the river that
Wheeling was to hold State Fair
and exposition this year"
