And now ! come TO the greatest advan.
tase this place has over all others In West
Virginia, or ! might say in any state OF the
Union. II j. likely some may Bneer at
this, but have studied 1t we'll. I allude
to the unlimited whter power. Now have
any oil you ever thought Of the superiority
Of water power over steam II not, just
bear with me a few minutes. After you
have secured all tho fall you need, which
In many cases will not equal the cost Of MI
engine, you are ready ut any moment,
your machinery! No fuel to buy, no engi.
neer to hire, no waiting for an engineer to
get.up aeam. Such power % this going 10
waste at these falls, taken into consideration
with tho unlimited quantity OF the best
building material both wood and Bione,
and coal in abundance, and iron ore ad.
jacent, has everything In its favor, md
nothing against It. There has Just been
started new Touring mill Of four run OF
bnrs and four rolls oil the Olell patent, all
Of said machinery being run with 44.ineh
Beiiel turbine water wheel, using but IA
feet OF this great water lall. There 10 a
very extensive saw mill here which does
q large business 10 shipping lumber to
baltimore and other ci,ieson the seaboasd.
This saw mill uses two turbine water
wheels.
There will be substantial irou bridge
erected during lthe coming summer over
tho river here, connecting Taylor with
Marion. county. There viii also he a large
WOODEN factory built as soon us the neces.
sary amount OF stock IL taken, there being
now $50 900 subscribed. Now, capitalists
in general, and West Virginia1s in par.
ticular, look to your interests near home
and in your own State, and my word for 1t
you will never regret the day you aecured
a portion Of this great motive power which
Nature has bestowed on West Virginia,
which In time will be ono OF the greatest
states In the Uaioa. The present owners
OF this great waterfall, Messls Bradshaw 4
Whitescarver, Of Grafton, assure me that
they will hold out the greatest Inducements
TO capitalists who wish TO engage in any
branch Of manufacturing, and being rail.
road men they tell me that there will be
special privileges granted by the Baltimore
x Ohio railroad to Valley Falls. Knowing
as the officials OF this railroad do tia. by a
mode Of liberalty, this will becoms the
greatest points for manufacture on their
road, either in Maryland or West Virginia.
For my further information on this sub.
ject address Bradshaw 4 Whitescaryer,
Valley Falls. Marion county, W. Va.
Now Mr.. Editor, ] wish 10 say in con.
clnsion that this Ia not written as an ad.
vertisement to further the interes. OF any
one individual, but 10 call the attention Of
West Virginians to the great blessing which
nature has bestowed upon their State, il
they will only look and reason and embrace
tie opportunity. Further than this the
writer has not farthing's interest in the
matter. CosMoroIlrE.
