MiDDLEBouRSE, W. VA, January g..
Editors lntellISencOr.
We notice a great deal OF talk in the
newspapers about a railroad, or roads
along the Ohio river. The subject Is re.
csiving the attention OF the press and en-.
tetprising men Of a belt OF considerable
width from Wheeling to Charleston. All
agree that the best interests oil the State
demand that these points be connected by
a more direct line OF communication than
now exists by either railroad or river.
But when Is the proposed road 10 be
built? One proposition Is 10 build a mar.
row guage from Wheeling along the Ohio
river to parkersburg; another is to con.
meet the latter place and Charleston by q
road 81 the same kind; another is to con.
meet Wheeling and Charleston direct, but
whether the road Is to 20 Wis Pafkersburg,
or to leave the banks OF the Ohio river at
New MSttinsville, running thence through
Middlebourne, and Richie @ H.. 10
Charleston, Is undecided. Sill another
project ia on foot, more Of q local nature,
but with some show Of success, ia a road
from New Martinsvllle, Ia Weizel COUNTY,
to run by this place to some point on the
d. 4 o., road In Richie county. Such A
roBd would do much toward furnishing
transportation for tho timber Of the region
trayefSed by II, but for other purposes
would be comparatively useless, being al
the mercy OF the d 4 o. railroad at one
end, and the uncertainty Of the Ohio river
al the other.
What we need is a road direct from
Wheeling TO the Kanawha Valley. That

The arguments in favor Of leaving the
river as above stated, in building such .
road as proposed, are many, There would
be 10 river competition. In the trans
portation OF coal and other heavy tTelghts,
railroads cannot compete with boats A
road back from the river would have ex'
elusive control OF . large trade that at
best could only be divided along the
river. Again, the right Of way Tor q road
away from the river can be secured
much cheaper than along its banks. We
have not yet met q man who would
charge anything for the right OF way
through his lands tor q railroad passing
through the interior Of this county, where
as q number Of the largest land owners
along the river have said that they would
have damages Tor such Q right OF way to
the full value Of the land.
A road back from the river would do
more TO develop the resources OF the State
than one along II; ties and all lumber
and timber necessary In building said
road can be supplied In abundance, and
much cheaper than along the riveri while
all counties through which such q road
would pass, will vote to tax themselves
for the benefit OF the road, which, aI We
have slready said, they will not do for a
road along the Ohio.
liza railroad company can be found able
to build the road through without help
from the counties, then II may be built
along the banks ofthe Ohio river, and not
Other wise. Until such q company can be
found, all lgilatiou touching 9 road along
the river may as we'll cease. A road back
from the river can and should be built.
