THE VALLEY BRANCH.

We publish in The Times of to-day IN
article from the Baltimore News on the
Importance of extending the Valley
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road to this city, which deserves the care
full consideration of all persons interested
in the growth and progress of Baltimore
and Roanoke. The writer fully realizes
the great resources of the Southwest, and
predicts their early development, He is
anxious fer Baltimore to obtain its full
share of the trade of this great and grow
ing section and urges upon the people of
that city the necessity for prompt action
to secure the great advantages which
would accrue flom an early extension of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to this
city or Salem.
The facts set forth in the article are so
patent to all who investigate the subject
that it is n matter of wonder why the
capitalists and business Men of Baltimore
have not interested themselves more in
this important matter. The people of
Roanoke have long felt the want of some
such connecting line with the North and
East, ana have done all they could to Sc
cure so great commercial advantage.
All that the writer says OF the wonderful
and varied resources of this section is true,
and IL finer ''back country for any city
cannot be found. For Baltimore to aban-
don the great advantages in this drec-
ton, when Il little further investment
will give that city II line which will lay
the wealth of the two Nircinias in its
very lap, is almost like wilfully throwing
away golden opportunity. It is hoped,
therefore, that the business men, both OF
the Monumental City and the Magic City,
will bestir themselves in an effort to com
plete the Valley branch Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, and thereby increase
the facilities of both cities for trade and
commerce. 1t is matter that demands
their careful attention.
