olina, northward, and southwark from
Ashland, KY, and six corps of engin-
eers are now at work making the final
survey through Virginia.
In regard to the advantages this sec,
ton offers for investments by North
ern people, it would seem that the
prospects for rapid advance in the
price OF land is absolutely certain It's
wealth of mines and timber are al
most unknown and entirely undevel-
oped. Judging from the way things
have gone in the Pocahontas region,
lands that can be bought now for $l4
to $40 per acre, will within three years
be selling at 800. Soon as the rail
roads now building can be completed
and put in running order people will
flock in and the country will be chang
ed from a hunting ground to a busy
manufacturing community. Fur
naces will go up where everything for
their operation can be had upon the
grounds, and is the opinion of practi-
cal iron men that great many plants
now situated at places remote from
either iron ore or coking coal, will be
forced to move to this section, and
that the section of country comprising
southwest Virginia and eastern Ken
lucky and Tennessee will soon become
the iron and coal producing region of
the United States. The location of
this section geographically being in
termediate between the markets OF the
North and South will enable its pro-
ducts to be transported in either di-
rection and laid down with little cost,
Alabama is now competing with Penn
sylvania in making pig iron for the
eastern markets, and the same time
using coke made in Virginia. Just
as soon as our railroads can reach the
coal and iron fields of southwest Vir-
ginia we can put the same iron into
New York and all eastern cities and
save one thousand miles OF railroad
transportation. This section has the
additional advantage of climate the
best in the world, where all outdoor
business can be carried on the year
round without inconvenience from
the heat in summer or cold and snow
in winter. Within the last year there
has been much quiet buying up of
these lands, but there are still a few
tracts lying on the line of railroad sur
veys Offering opportunities for safe
investments, though prices Of all such
favorably situated tracts are steadily
advancing. In some places land can
yet be had for less than the timber will
be worth the moment the road reach
es it.
For much of the aboye information
in regard to this country the reader is
indebted to Mr.. F. A. Stratton, of John

ments in coal and timber lands of this

far as to predict that the appointee will
come from either Indiana, Michigan or

representing the National Association

a statement prepared by the carpet
manufacturers who were members of
the association which said eve re-
quest that carpet wools be put on the
free list. We believe that this will be
in the interest of all parties wool
growers, wool manufacturers and
consumers and that it is for the general
interest OF the whole country that at
least all raw materials that do not
compete with home products, and
which enterint important established
industries should be admitted free, in
order that such industries may receive
the fullest practical development, and
thus in turn contribute in a thousand
