To the Editor Of he Post:

To the Editor Of the Post:
We wish to call the attention of the
citizens of Wise, Lee and Scott counties,
as well as of those of Big Stone Gap, to
the question of forming new county
from parts Of the counties above men,
toned, making Big Stone Gap its center
and county seat.
Wise county is over forty-fivc miles long
from eastern to western lines, Lee is
sixty-fivc and Scott fifty. Big Stone Gap
is situated in the extreme western portion
of Wise county, within one mile of the
eastern line of Lee and six miles from the
northwestern line of Scott; thus it is seen
thata new county could be formed from the
three counties. and greatly accommodate
all the people living within the territory
to compose the new county.
TO the people of Turkey Cove and the
Crab Orchard district, the advantages at
fordcd them by having their county scat
at Big Stone Gap rather than at Jones'
vile, would lie almost incalculable. For
years they have been riding twenty to
TWENTY-FIVE miles to attend county and
circuit courts, consuming almost day IN
going and the same in returning, fire.
uucntly over almost impossible roads and
swollen streams To come to Big Stone
Gap would only be pleasant ride OF one
TO two hours at longest: while Il large ma-
iortv of them could reach here on the Ia
n. trains, and thus avoid much OF the
trouble and expense of caring for horse
while attending court. The same condI-
ton of affairs applies TO the western part
of Wise and especially to all living III
Powell's vallcy and on the South and North
Forks of Powell's river, Roaring Fork and
Callahan creek, the most of whom could
get here on the /. \. trains and thus
avoid DAYS ride to GladcvIle. over one
of the toughest roads i'll the mountains.
while the people from PattonSvillc and
DufEeld. Hunters valley. Poor valley and
the Wild Cat could come here on the ). a.
& o. and obviatc Il twenty 10 twenty-five
mile ride to Estillviic.
would suggest that the following ter
ritorv be included in the new county, TO-
wit Beginning at point on High KNOB
thence a straight line northwcStcrly, pass
ing over Little Stone Gap and up Black
creek to East Butt, on Black mountain,
thence turning wcstwardly and running
with the State line between Virginia and
Kentucky, to 4 point on Black mountain,
opposite and north Of the Pocket, in Lee
county, thence turning southwardly, II
straight line to or near Stickieyviilc, TAX
ing in Turkey Cove, part of Iokum STA

line to the beginning on High Knob, tax

The Sewerage Question.

Editor Big Stone Post:
In compliance with your request to re-
port on the sewerage question. will state
that | have not examined sufficient data
to give any details of the plan.
At present ! think that the storm wa
ters Of the crowded districts should he led
through pipe direct to the river. If it be
desired to get rid of the house-sewerage,
BY means of sewerage system, would
advise smaller pipes leading to sewer
running through north and south boulve-
wards from the hiSh-central part OF the
town. These main sewers would meet
near Three Forks Island and cross Pow
ell's river and run through the lower por-
ton of the Sulphur Spring property, and
beyond into n cesspool or directly into the
river, which think could be done with
our present small population and cess
pool built later.
You will see that we have the advantage
of most towns on the sewerage question,
as they generally are compelled to build
large main sewers to take off the house
sewerage and storm waters both. TO do
this here. it would be necessary to build Il
tremendous sewer along one of the river
banks. This would also necessitate all
the branch sewers to be much larger than
they would be in the above plan.
A great portion of the storm sewerage
and housc-sewerage of Plat j should be
directed toward the DcBusque branch.
The house-sewerag in Plat S should be
directed to ccsspool near the mouth OF
DeBusque branch, in ordert to remove from
the sewerage offensive matter. In this
way no offensive matter would pass Plat !
on South Fork.
The sewerage system, Of Plat and L.
& n. piais will be about the same Us the
other plats. A house-sewcraSe system
