Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va) 1886-1890, 1890-04-01

Roanoke City is located in the 1ror
belt district of Virginia 1000 feet above
ca level, between the Blue Ridge range
on the East, and the Allegheny range
on the West. Roanoke has history
that reads like romance.
American enterprise has no brighter
gem in iis diadem OF achievements
than busting and picturesque Roanoke.
The growth Of Roanoke is upon a solid
basis as evidenced by the thrift and
prosperity of its citizens. Roanoke Is
city of $4,000 busy souls today, Feb
ruary, 1890, when only a few years ago
she was a small village of 400 people
who were tilling The land upon which
is now built magnificent structures.
classical and prepossessing in appear
ance. We will name some of the prin-
cipal industries now in operation and
doing successful business: First, the
Roanoke Machine Works, that gives
employment to 1900 experienced me-
chanics, and to these works will be add
ed additional improvements that will
give employment for 600 more men.
next comes the American Bridge
Works that employ large number OF
skilled workmen and this industry will
also add to their present larger plant,
finding it necessary, in order 10 supply
the demand made upon them for work
in their line. Next comes the Roanoke

house and jail cost 1000; Marke,
house cost $40, 900 has twelve churches
representing nearly every denomina.
ton. Has large wholesale trade EN-.
bracing sixteen of tina most productive
counties in the Old Dominion. This
trade also extends into West Virginia,
Tennessee and North Carolina.
The only city Of any consequence
within two hundred miles of Roanoke,
is the city of Lynchburg by the James.
Roanoke is the headquarters OF
nearly all the mining companies oper-
atiug in the Southwest.
Has the Roanoke river passing along
its border, furnishing unsurpassed
water power for manufacturing pur-
poses.
Has Masonic Temple building, cost
5000.
One thousand miles of railroad now
in operation focus at Roanoke.
Roanoke street railway and trans
portation is now in full operation.
The bonded debt of Roanoke is less
than that of any city of equal size in the
South, being less than 5000, 900. The
city tax is sl.25 cts. lighter than that
of any city in the South and under the
charter can not be increased.
The railroads and various manufac.
turing enterprises of Roanoke have
monthly pay rolls apgrega ting 5000. 600

about their freehold, including Hotel
Roano ke to which well-known hostelry
will he added 125 rooms, which add
ton is now under construction, the ma
tarial used in this improvement is
stone and frame; all of which will be
executed in the best workmanship
manner. The double tracking of the
Norfolk and Western will add largely
to the population of Roanoke. This
work has been let and the contractors
are now preparing to begin their work.
The Roanoke and Southern railroad
with its terminus and headquarters at
Roanoke is now building rapidly to-
wards Roanoke, and this road will be-
gin work at this end within ninety days
from the 18th day of February, 1890.
This will assure for Roanoke an in
crease over her present population of
twenty to thirty thousand people.
That you may understand what
Roanoke is doing we will give you the
amount expended OF improvements in
our city from February 1886, to Feb
ruary 1889, as compiled by the Herald:
The building of business houses
amount to $1,9l3, 100, amount spent
upon residences s6S1,47O, making
grand total of s2,594.57O This does

and have a large field in which they
will operate, extending into North
Carolina and West Virginia.
Roanoke has two large -four mills,
the largest of which has elevators with
a capacity TO store $4,000 worth OF
grain.
So much for the different industries
already established and cow doing a
fourishing business. We will men ton
some few industries that are in process
of organization:
The Steel Plant, Cotton Mill, Hard
ware Forge, West End Yards, and
Stationary Agricultural Implement
Factory, Boot and Shoe factory, and
number of smaller enterprises, all
these together with the completion of
the Roanoke and Southern railroad
which is being pushed rapidly towards
our city and is now completed to Mar
tinsville, the county seat OF Henry,
will add fifty per cent to our present
population.
We will also mention some improve
ments that will be made here by the
Norfolk and Western railroad and their
associates (sub rosa). First. the main

adjunct to our city find it absolutely
necessary to enlarge their plant and
have so ordered it. Then comes the
Crozier twin furnace with an output of

BuildIncs Without Money.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The house
of representatives recently has passed
many senate bills appropriating money
for public buildings, but in several cases
the appropriation clause has been
struck out of the bill This action re-
calls the remark made by representa-
tive recently when an outcry was
raised against the extravaganza Of
house and senate because a great many
public building bills passed either body.
He said that while more bills for pub
lie buildings would pass the house or
senate during this congress than ever
before, the appropriations for public
buildings would be less than in the con-
gress before. In part explanation of
this prediction he said that he expected
the house to pass very few senate bills
and the senate to pass very few bills
that came from the house. If the two
houses follow this policy and as a
further precaution strike out the appro-
priation clause from many of the bills
the prediction is likely to be yer flied.

cressional Programme for tho Week.
WASHINGTON, March S1.-The senate
takes up the Montana election contest
today. It will be debated probably for
two days and the Republican contest
ants, Saunders and Powers, will be
seated, probably by strict party vote.
When the election cases are out of the
way the dependent pension bill will be
debated and disposed of. The under
valuation bill follows next in the order
of business, but it will hardly be
reached this week.
Saturday will likely be devoted to the
consideration of bills on the calendar.
Several set speeches on political and
economic questions are expected at odd
times. At some time, probably early III
the week. the Florida nominations will
be taken up again in secret session and
confirmed.
The worlds fair committee has not
been called together by Senator His
cock, but it will meet doubtless during
the coming week. and it may agree
upon 4 report within the next two
weeks.

individual suspension day, and members
having bills in which they are inter-
ested can call them up for passage on
recognition by the speaker. The pro-
gramme for the rest of the week will
not differ greatly from that OF last
week
The Republican members of the COM
mittee on territories intend to bring up
another statehood bill for consideration
that providing for the admission OF
Idaho. The Democrats will oppose the
bill on the grounds on which they OPP
posed the Wyoming bill which was
passed by the house last week.
The army appropriation bill will be
further considered and passed, and it is
possible that the Notifications appro-
priations bill will be taken up for con-
sideration.
On Thursday evening, beginning at
Soclock. the house will hear eulogies
on the late S. S. Cox, and on Saturday
beginning at 3 in the afternoon similar

A PLEASING ENTERrArNMENr.-

A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT.
The program of exercises rendered
at the chapel Of the state penitentiary
Saturday forenoon for the amuse-
ment Of the convicts and in the
evening for the entertainment Of
visitors, was one Of the most pleas
ing eyer enacted in the city. The
talent was all under striped clothes
and in many instances was such as
would shine with credit under
broadcloth surrounded by the lights
aud glitter Of an opera house. Those
from the city who availed them
selves ofthe invitation TO be present
were highly delighted with the
minstrel work, dancing, singing,
speeches, and so forth, and no per-
son who saw the roomful ofprisoners,
enjoying the two hours Of mirth-
provoking performance, could for n
moment doubt that IL was health
ful relaxation, tending to encourage
their better natures and improve
their line Of thought. This view is
now accepted in nearly all the older
states and on certain holidays dur
ing the year, some such occasion is
given them to enjoy themselves.
