A few months ago, however, Sena-
tor Daniel conceived the idea OF IL belt
railroad behind the hill. The result
was the opening up OF hundred of
acres, which the West Lynchburg
Company is about to improve and fill
with houses. Shortly afterwards
Major E. S. Hutter, who is one OF the
most experienced of Virginia's iron
miners, thought OF bridge across
Blackwater creek. The outcome Of
these two ideas will be such an up
building of Lynchburg as may
threaten to rob Richmond OF It's
laurels rs chief city of the Old Do
minion.

The town stands on hillside. The
river James is It's northern boundary,
The Blackwater creek its western. The
hill behind it is so high that i was
considered an insurmountable obsta-
Gle There was magnificent plateau
Just northwest of Blackwater creek,
but the creek during the countless
ages of the past had washed q deep
indentation between the existing city
and thar glorious tract of level land.
This indentation was therefore con-
sidered an impossible barrier TO
Lvnchburg' westward growth. There
was n great demand for houses, bat
there was apparently no available
ground on which TO build those
houses.

For many months it has been pre-.
dicted that the enormous industri3l
activity in Southwestern Virginia
would crystalize at Lynchburs, which
is today one of the greatest railroad
centcrs in the State. Those ptedic-
lions are now being realized. There
are two great companies at work with
plenty of money, brains and energy,
improving the occasion. For years
and years this has been the metropolis
uot only of Piedmont, Va, but of the
incidentally rich region known us tine
James river valley. Until now it has
been one of those towns which has
had greatness thrust upon them. Its
population has doubled since the last
census, almost entirely by reason OF
the development of the tributary
country. There are today far on TO
10000 people in Lynchburg and its
suburbs. The next census after this
will show far on to hundred thou
sand. Had Lynchburs awaited itself
Of it's opportunities, the census now
being taken would have shown double
The present population.

| And this result forces us all to &C
knowledge that, after all, ideas rule
the world. All the great patents com
pel us to wonder why SO long time
elapsed without someone thinking OF
the simple principle which underlies
them. The ditch made by Blackwater
stopped the up-river growth of Ly och
burg. 1t was the simplest problem in
the world TO solve. And yet its solu-
ton for a generation staggered the
wisest heads. Main street was crowded
with houses to the very brink Of the
creek. Just across lay land better
adapted for town growth than any il
Lynchburg, and yeta bridge was never
suggested. Within three months
Blackwater creek and the track OF the
Norfolk and Western railroad will be
crossed, and Main street will be ex-
tended into Rivermont This bridge
will bring vacant lots within 400 yards
of land now worth $500 front foot.
This unoccupied area lies to the west
ward, and experience shows that all
cities grow to the westward. There
are between 1000 and 5000 acres in
this high plateau. These acres are
worth no leSb LlitbH lOGI VI i've uil-
lions of dollars. The Rivermont Co. IS
assets are thus worth two or three
times its capitalization. In other
words, Rivermont stock is certain to
double in value. A dollar placed here
is sure to bring two within six mon tbs,
and all on account of Major Hutter's
Pursuant to this idea-or rather
this discovery-the Rivermont Com
pany was organized. Men of affairs
from Roanoke and other enterprising
points saw the situation and sub
scribsd for stock. The land was pur
chased at low prices. The company
will further enhance its value by To-
eating in dustries-by making pay
rolls. The company is called 1.-THE
Riyermont', because it's lands over
look the James from a high and
elevation. Hereafter no one
will ask the question, What is the

And why? Because nobody had
thought of the possibility of a belt
railroad, and of what is more to the
point, of the practicability of 8. big
broad bridge across Blackwater creek.
But no sooner had Major Hutter given
wings to his brilliant conception than
every man in the town and out OF the
town at all familiar with the topog-
raphy of the place was moved to &C
knowledge that the problem had been
solved. The consequence is that land
which three months ago was going
a-begging at from $50 to 500 an acre,
is now worth from $500 TO $4,000 per
acre. This is the result of Hutter's
idea.

The trouble with Lynchburg has

knowledge as to how to proceed. The
conviction that the place had q great
future before it has been in every

a Strange Disappearance Case Which Agi-
-l's-,,z - tntcs the Authorities. -
CHICAGO, March 0.-The search into
the Palmer House mysterious disappear
ance case is not now for tho young New
York commercial traveller, Rowland
Leach, but for his dead body. In
the minds OF his friends aud the rela-
tiyes practically no doubt remained
tonight that he has been murdered.
It has been discovered that after leaving
his room at the hotel last Sunday night,
Leach was in saloon known as the
Little Auditorium" and went out the
rear door which opens into a
dark, lonesome alley, leading. aloug-
side some OF the toughest dives in
Chicago. The identity of the mysterious
woman, "Edith," who has figured in the
case, was established by the detectives
this afternoon. She has room
in the vicinity Of the Little Auditor
ium saloon, and acknowledges that
she had meeting with Leach Sunday
afternoon md was to see him again at s
o'clock. According to her story it was
when she sent that note which has ex-
cited interest and failing to get an
answer, that she called personally
| at the hotel. She claims to have known
Leach for long time, aad the detectives
80 far have found nothing to throw dis
credit on her story or to disprove her
assertion that further than what has
been told, she has not heard Of tue case.
Search was made in the neighborhood
this evening for evidence Of a tragedy,
but nothing OF Importance was revealed.

SEATTLE, WASH, March o.-Charlcs D.
Hammond, tho man who knows moro
than anybody else about the famous Lon
don scandal, is being cut on in his sup
ply Of blood money and be objects. He
said yesterday that unless certain per-
sons prominent in Londen kept faith
with him and cablcd money to him by
Tuesday OF this week, he would say
something that would place them in n
very bad light. The words Of Hammond
were rs follows: "Tho time for denials

Weglen is the son OF a man who occupies
an exceptional position in the financial
world ofthe British capital"
1t Is observed from these remarks that
Hammond wants money, and also that
whatever he may have said heretofore
about his not being the man who kept
notorious house on Cleveland street was
untrue. He has torn of all semblance

CoLuMnus, o., March 0.-David Harp

ers' Association, has issued lengthy
address to the wool growers Of the State
in which he says there has been no time
in thirty years when farmers have sui.
fered 80 much from low prices Of farm
products as now. He explains the
GAUGE Of this condition and says:
"The object Of the address is 10 ask

monstrous frauds now being perpetrated
In importing wool, and to appeal to our
members OF Congress to aid In the same
work, and to speedily pass q wool tariff

and all the wool required for use in the

After explaining what Is deemed
proper to ask OF members of Congress,
Mr. Harpster concludes: "This address
is deemed proper in view OF the fact not
generally known, that persistent efforts
are being made to secure just and ample
protection for manufacturers, but to
deny the same measure OF protection for
