HOUNDLESs KESOURCES.

The English visitors who came
through Southwest Virginia on the Iron
and Steel Institute tour last fall have
not forgotten their impressions. In an
address deli, erel yester( a Sir James
Kitson, president of tho Iron and Steel
Institute, declared that the resources of
the United States were boundlcss. In
view Of that fact he warned both pro-
ducers and employees in England to get
together and moderate their demands.
Sir James kitson is very right.
American re sources are boundless, and
wat is eq' ally to the point the cnergit S
o. their developers are boundless. That
is the way tbs in Southwest Virginia at
any rate. We arc going ahead and
nothing can stop us.

The Coming Fashionable Resi-
dence Section of the City.

F. ]. Kimba1 president of the Norfolk and Western
railroad "'rhe property of the Roanoke Gas and
Water Company and Crystal Spring Land Company
in my opinion is destined to become the fashionable
residence section of Roanoke"
More elegant houses will undoubtedly be erected there
during the spring and summer than in any other part
of the city.
The Parkersburg Investment Company H. c. Cole
manager, 112 Jefferson street, have few of the
choicest lots in the Crystal Spring property for sale
These lots situated just the river and the
most desirable of the entire property They are 40
by feet in size and situated on high rolling ground,
command magnificent view Of the city and the dis.
tant mountains. The contract has been awarded to
lay water mains through the streets of the property
and electric street line will place residents in
almost any part of the city in few minutes.
Only houses of hrstcass quality be erected the
property, and the lots equally desirable the
best i'll the West End, upon which such large sums
of money made last year.
The lots of the Parkersburg Investment Company can
be bought for ONE THIRD THE PRICE OF THE
BEST LOTS IN THE WEST END, and an inspection
will show that they offer the best investment in the
city both for spectators and those desiring beaLti
full homes.

MORE Or ITALY.

There is some question as to whether
the treaty between the United States
and Italy was broken by the lynching
of the Italians at New Orleans, with the
doubts decidedly in favor of the United
States.
Italian subjects and American citizens
were killed together, and the treaty
S2nly guarantees Italian citizens in this
country ali the rights, privileges and
inAmunities en.oyed>by our own citizens
An indemnity for tho lives of King
II lmberCs subjects is all that it is pos
sible for the State Department to con-
cede and there is really no ground for
that. In 81 ort, Italy has no case.
In the meantime quiet and unolIend-
ing American citizen has been publicly
assaulted by an Italian mob in Hum
bert's realm without the slightest provo
cation.
Americans have aided Italy's exist
onco as government for years by
spending sao,ooc.oOQ annually in that
Country for an assortment of fine
scenery, fleas and bad cooking. This Is
good time for American travellers to
learn that there is something to be seen
in their own country.
Let them come to Southwest Virginia
where they can view scenery equal in
beauty to that of Sunny Italy, where
their surplus cash will go into the chan
nels of trade for the upbuilding of a
section Of their own land, and where
they will run no risk of being assaulted
or lnsulted by mobs of grinders.
Besides, the cooking is better.

All Points Report a Very Heavy Storm.
Snow IL to 15 Inches Deep.
Boston, Jan. 27.-Reports from va
rious sections of New England indicate
that the storm has been an unusually
severe one. A great deal of damage has
been done to the telegraph and telephone
wires, and especially between New
York and New Haven. The Long Dis
lance Telephone company had no COM
munication with New York for the first
time it is said, since the company began
to do business. Fall River, Mass, re-
ports a heavy snow and rain storm, ac-
comp MED by very high tides. The
Sound boats had a hard time around
Point Judath, but arrived at Fall River
safely, although late. At Manchester,
N. H., it is reported that the storm lasted
nine hours and that fifteen inches of
snow fell, ohstrueting the travel and
Frustrating wires. Nashua, N. Il, re-
ports the worst storm of the season,
twelve inches of snow falling, obstruct-
ing horse car travel and delaying trains.
Haverhill, Mass, was cut entirely off
fr IN communication with the outside
world.

COST OF THE STORM.

Two Weeks Time and Fully $500, oo0
Required to Repair Damages.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Never before
have the telegraph and telephone com
panies experienced such complete and
absolute havoc as that created by the
snow storm of Saturday and
Sunday. An idea of what wreck
ing of lines was done may be gathered
from the fact that out Of 1900 running
out of this city the Western Union. has
now but three wires working. The rest,
with the poles that supported them, lie
beside railroad tracks and across fields
and are caught in trees.
The Postal company has not q wire
working from the city, while the Metro
politan Telegraph and Telephone COM
pany roughly estimates that 1850 of its
wires are laid low. The total damage to
the companies mentioned which will re-
suit fram this condition Of affairs is es-
timated at sou, 600.
Two Weeks Unceasing Effort
will be required to get the wires back
