peake & Ohio, its great importance to
West Virginia and the entire section
through which 1t passes is as business

to the busy and growing country along
its line, but to the great West as well, u
direct and desirable route for the ship
ment of their industrial and agricul-
tural products to the seaboard for ex-
port or to the markets of the eastern
cities. United with thisis the advantage

region and other sources of growth will
increase this showing much more in
1891 than in 1890.
DEVELOPING AT A RAPID RATE.
The agricultural, mineral and indus
trial developments on the line OF the
Chesapeake & Ohio railroad arc none of
theplin their infancy, yet they show
today a steady and rapid growth that
seems all but marvellous. The policy Of
tba cnmnany has always been to build
