The Valley Railroad Extension.

The unbroken silence on the subject OF
the extension South of the VALLEY railroad,
which prevailed at the last meeting OF Its
stockholders in Staunton, gave little hope
that the enthusiastic predictions lately
going the rounds of the press on the sub
ject, would be realized. A letter from
Mr.. B. D. Moomaw, of Roanoke, to the
Rockbridge county ''News," says:
Hon. H. S. Trout, in company with
Mr.. E. H. Stewart. has just returned
from Baltimore where they were sent by
the Board of Trade of Roanoke, to ascer-
tain the Intentions of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company in reference to
the extension of the Valley Railroad
They were told by the officers of that com.
pany that at present they had no thought
of extending the Valley Railroad south Of
Lexington. but at the proper time would
be glad to talk to the people of Roanoke. ,
They would indicate no definite time for
the resumption of work on the Valley ex-
tension, but said that it would probably
not be less than five years. AS reason
for this delay, they stated to Mr.. Trout
that the New York road was all that they
could possibly carry at present, it taving
cost ten millions of dollars to enter New
York city after the city limits had been
reached. received this inform alton from
Mr.. Trout himself, and assuresmy readers
that it is entirely reliable. All this talk
about the immediate extension of the
Valley Railroad. to which we have been
treated lately, is nothing but newspaper
racket"
And yet the Salem "Times." of Friday
last contains the announcement that
"Chief Engineer Randolph. of the B alti-
more & Ohio railroad, spent couple of
days in Salem this week as the guess of
Mr.. D. B. Strouse, and left on Wednes-
day morning accompanied by Mr.. John A.
Francis, to view a route for the Salem and
Southwestern railroad.
