He Gives some Reasons for the Exist
ence of Hard Times.
From the American Times.
There is being SO much said in the coun-
try about hard times and the scarcity Of
money. and as everybody has a cause and
knows a remedy, l thought / would write
an9 tell your readers what l think il the
cause.
1--WE buy more than we produce
There is too much -four and bacon ship
ped here every year. The things we ought
to make at home we are buying.
1--WE let our timber rot and buy our
plough stocks, singletrees, AK handles, hoe
handles and fencing.
I'VE throw away our ashes and buy soap
and axle grease.
I'VE give away our beef hides and buy
hamestrings and shoestrings.
I'VE waste our manure and buy guano.
I'VE buy garden seed In the spring and
cabbage In the winter.
I'VE let our lands grow up in weeds and
buy our brooms.
I'VE waste the wax out Of our pine and
gum trees and buy chewing gum for our
children.
I'VE build school houses and hire teach
ers and send our children OF to be edu-
Gated.
I'VE land scent fish with a "A fishing

I'VE send a 15-cent boy out with a $40

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
Residents Watching Closely Proposed
Steam Railroad Plans
Norfolk and Western-Canal Cinfms-
Many Notes of Interest.

While the report that the Norfolk and
Western company are negotiating for the
purchase of the Washington and Ohio road
which runs from Alexandria to Round Hill,
Va, via Falls Church. has not been veri-
hed to the satisfaction of some Georgetown
citizens, yet to one who has watched the
movements of steam railroads for years.
and VINO keeps himself in constant COM
munication with the officers of the various
corporations desirir to enter Georgetown,
1t is an assured theory. To a Star reporter
he said today that he had been more than
once Informed by those whose words carry
weight and power with them that it had
been the great desire Of the Norfolk and
Western people to purchase this line as the
preliminary step to their actual move to-
ward the District. When this desire had
been satisfied they intended to extend an
arm of their road TO the Aqueduct bridge,
beginning from a point midway between
Torrison station, place near Balls Cross
Roads. and the town of Falls Church
measured distance of three and three
fourths miles. From Round Hill the pres
ent terminus of the Washington and Ohio
TO Serryville, on the Shenandoah branch
of the Norfolk ami Western, is a distance
OF ter miles. The connection of these two
points will then bring about the opening of
the entire Norfolk and Western country to
the District by way of Rosslyn. At the
southern end Of the aqueduc., Berryyine
which seems TO be the objective point, or
the Place on which hinges the success of
the proposed or alleged purchase and ex-
tension, Is a thriving village OF about three
thousand Inhabitants. and of some inn
portance as wagon-build!ng place a town
of mills AMI lively cattle market To get
this entire southern connection would mean
but the building of fourteen miles of road
The contamination of this desire of the
Norfolk and Western company would give
them di 'ect connection with the District
without the necessity of going over the
tracks of any other railroad for their WASH
ington travel and freight. and also without
asking any favors of Congress
Az present they pay trackage to the
Baltimore and Ohio company for bringing
their freight and passengers to Washington
by the way of Harpers Ferry and the
Metropolitan branch,
The through freight to the northern cities
could still be handled over the present
route or by connection with the PennsyI-

to the new car. which has been going
on in every Russian church in Europe,
