Mr.. Kimball has been untiring in carry.
ing out the policy of the road and in put
ting on foot new enterprises. and in OPEN
ing up new fields for profitable invest
ments for capitalists, and in this he has
been ably seconded by his associates.
The exhibit of the Norfolk and Western
system alone justifes fully these utter
ances of Chauncy M. Depew, made before
the alumni of Yale University:

South to my mind is just this-that the
South Is the bonanza Of tie future. We have
developed all the great and sudden oppor-
tunities for wealth-or most of them-in
the northwestern States and on the Pacific
slope, but here is vast country ,cih The
best climate in NE ,oorld. with conditions OF
health which are absolutely unparalleled
with yast forests untouched. with enor-
nous veins of coal and iron which yet
have not known anything beyond their
original conditions, with soil that under
proper cultivation for little capital
cab support tremendous popula-
ton; with conditions in the atmos-
phere for comfortable living winter and
summer which exist nowhere else in the
country, and that is to be the attraction
for the young men who go out from the
farms to seek settlement and not by immi-
grafton from abroad. tor 1 do not think
they will go that way. but by the internal
immigration from our own country it Is TO
become In time as prosperous as any other
section of the country"
From one end OF the Norfolk and West
ern TO the other there is raw material
awaiting manufactures and towns abound
ing in beautiful residential sites. No.
where on the Continent is the health ave-
rage better and even the newest settle
ments are but a short distance removed
from educational and religious centres.
