INCREASED TRAFFIC.
The Norfolk and Westerns Business
Heavy all Along the Line.

The TIMES told its readers yester-
day about the immense amount of To-
cal freight handled by the Norfolk
and Western. While not of such local
Importance in other places, yet the
increase of freight and passenger traf-
tic is general all along the line. The
forty-four miles of double track be-
tween Roanoke and Bluefleld, the
construction of which has been made
necessary by the rapid development
of Southwest Virginia, is well under
way. Contractors are at work all
along the line, and the grading is
nearly completed. 1t is expected to
have trains running over the double
track in about thirty days.
The table Of the earnings OF the
Norfolk and Western for July, re-
Gently published in the TIMES, shows
an increase of 1G per cent. in freight
traffic over the previous July, which
WIS considered a good month. The
same table shows an increase Of "a per
cent. in the passenger traftioaaHa this
is regarded as one of the best indica
tions of the development OF this sec
tion. The August tabIe, (which is not
yet out, will probably show still
greater increase.
