Will not Join Augusta,

The. Rockbridge News says that at a
recent meeting the board of supervisors in
reply to a communication from the board
of supervisors of Augusta to take steps to
compel the Valley railroad to pay taxes, de-
clined to cooperate with Augusta county
in the matter. They held that Rockbridge
was heavy stakeholder in the road, thai
it had in the past gone to expense to secure
legal advice as to its status in regard to
the road in certain matters, and therefore
declined to make any further expenditure

Ihe shipments OF hay from StauntOn in
tons:
For the year ended Jnne so, 1885,. 1927
do do do 18S9........... 1867
The figures of the last two years referred
to, showing the relation Staunton holds to
the aggregated export of the county for the
same years, as well as conclusive to other
years-that is, that nearly one-half of the
hay during those years exported from Au-
gusta found it's exit at Staunton.
The exports by the Norfolk & Western
route increased from 673 in 1884 to 2,489
tons in 1888, and that was before it's North
Carolina connections were constructed.
Now that its own line penetrates the great
interior OF that State, the advantages our
rect route from Staunton, can be well
imagined.
The route of the N orfolk & Western in
Augusta county is along the base of the
Blue Ridge with scarcely any agricultural
country, except that on the western side of
the South River Valley, to draw upon, and
only opened to commerce in 1882, and also
without the advantages of it now direct
southern extensions, achieved the promi-
hence in 1888 Of drawing off one fifth of
the hay tonnage. What then will be the
result if its trains roll directly into this
city where nearly onehalf of the entire crop
Of the county is concentrated for ship
ment?
Still another great interest in our midst
stands out for serious consideration. The
Norfolk & Western railroad during its
comparatively brief existence under the
present management, has developed one Of
the largest, as it is one of the highest in
value of the coal fields of the continent.
All the way from Chicago to Norfolk and
along it's branch lines from Roanoke to
HagerstOwn and into North Carolina, the
coal and coke from it's southwestern fields
gladden. thousands Of hearts and light up
the fires of great industrial progress. From
the abundance of these resources. Norfolk
already has become in it's commercial i'm
portance generally, the great coaling sta
tion of the South Atlantic coast for ocean
steamers.
The construction of a few miles Of rail
road will bring Staunton into direct asso-
citation with additional fuel supplies as
they will for the outward commerce in the
staples Of our valley products"

Chamber Of Commerce.

The annual meeting of the Chamber Of
Commerce took place on Tuesday evening
Mr.. VIM. A. Burke presided, and Prof. j
A. Hiner acted as Secretary.
The following officers for the ensuing
year were eleeted-President, Isaac Witt
Vice Presidents, r. D. Haislip and Henry
I Hutchinson; Secretary. Col. J. e. Shields
Board OF Directors-John T. Hartman, c.
E. Haines. J. A. Fauver, J. r. Taylor,
j., w. A. Burke. A. Loeb, j. Mason Mil
ler. Jr.. and A. c. Braxton.
Col. 1. q. Wade, proprietor Of the Vir-
ginia Enterprise, being present was invited
to address the Chamber and did so to good
purpose. His views, broad and full of &C
tivity, were exceedingly interesting, and
when he concluded a vote of thanks was
given him.
The annual report of Secretary Shields,
an outline of which we have already given,
was read. 1t gives an interesting review
OF all the active effort that has been made
by the Chamber.
Of the much hoped for connection be-
tween Stauuton and the Norfolk & West
ern Ry, the report says:
While discussing the interests of addi-
tiou with the continuing prosperity Of the
City, and the actual needs of the same, it
was natural that reflection should take in
that long stretch of railroad located along
the eastern border of Augusta county,
with it's own and direct connections high
up in the north, and with the cities of the
lakes and in the opposite directions across
different ATTITUDES to the seapOrts of the
South Atlantic and Gulf States. The line
of the Norfolk & Western railroad between
Hagerstown, Md, and Roanoke, Va, is
within twelve miles of StauntOn, and with
it, at some practical point, the Chamber
has preached the project of a branch con-
nection equal for all purposes that the main
route confers. Our communication intro
ducing the subject was received by the
management of the railroad company and
response expressing a lively interest in the
scheme returned. While the company
just at this time has not funds available
for the construction of the work, yet rep
resentative of 1t will meet our committee
for the conference. A point on the road
convenient to Staunton has been selected
as the place, and an early day will be nam
ed for the interview. If, after the confer
ence takes place, it shall be proper to ascer-
tain the support the movement should re-
ceive in Staunton and by other interests
involved on a projected route of construc-
tion, then will be the time to enter into the
details of cost and ability to complete the
design, as well as the results to follow.
Now, take Staunton itself. with it's man.
moth producing capacity of flour. and look
over the map of the county. including
Staunton, and see the vast extent of terri
tory without direct facilities for entering
the field of demand opened and widening
out south of our location.
OF the Augusta county hay crop export
ed, there are statistics available for refer
ence for the years ended June 80, 1884, to
same date in 1889. There were exported
from the several depots of the three rail-
roads passing through the county aggrega-
ted in tons as follows:

AN IMPORTANT RUMoR.

Wheeling Creek


The Gaylor Mines May be Run on the Co
Operative Plan-The Sixty Cent Rate at
Wheeling Creek
Dame Rumor is again going about in
labor circles over the river. This time
she states something which will no
doubt be a surprise to many people,
and especially to the coal miners, who
have been employed until recently at
the Gaylord coal mines, operated by
Mckinley Bros.
Not long ago the operators were met
by representative Of a colony of Ger
mans residing in Doddridge county,
West Virginia, and the question of OPP
Grating the mines on the cooperative
plan was talked over.
The proposition was met in a very
favorable manner, from what can be
learned, as the mines have not been
paying very well the past year, owing
70 the difficulties encountered by the
operators with the miners.
The operators of the mines will say
nothing concerning the affair, and this
with the fact that the miners have
been ordered to vacate their jobs and
take their tools with them, gives a
very good foundation to the rumor,
which may in all probability be true.
At the Wheeling Creek mines the
men have agreed TO go to work at the
60-cent rate, as was fOreshadOwed in
the Register some days ago, provided
the management will make that rate.
The miners are convinced that a con-
tinuance of the strike would be suici-
dial, and this is the general sentiment
in Belmont county.

In these she thinks she finds the greatI

afforded to her since she has been a
star. The play was written expressly
for her by A. z. Lancaster and Julian
Magnus, and has been most enthusi-
astically praised in New York, Chicago

THE YANKTON RESERVE.

1t Will Probably BE June Before 1t Is
Opened to Sett ement.
Sioux FALLS, S. D., April 16.-In an
interview Register Boynton of the
Mitchell land Office, said that there was
hardly any probability of the Yankton
reservation being opened before June 1.
He says the whole thing is hanging fire
on account of Commissioner Lockhart's
demand that the state be allowed to file
on SO, 900 acres before the settlers get
chance at the land. Mr.. Boynton says
that the report that the reservation will
be opened Immediately with the procla-
nation of the president is all nonsense.
He says that at all times in the history
of this country no lands have been
opened to settlement without giving at
least 80 days notice by presidential
proclamation. 1t will be at least two
weeks more before the proclamation
will be issued, and 30 days after that
will make the season so late that the
settlers cannot raise anything but corn
and flax.
