THE RAILROADS.

The action OF the Trades and Labor
Assembly in refusing to recede from
their opposition 10 the subscription to
the Uniontown. Waynesburg and West
Virginia. railroad. has not disheartened
the friends OF that measure, but on the
contrary has nerved to further en-
daavor. Some very good missionary
work is being done by the various COM
mittees appointed by the recently held
citizens meeting.
A dispatch to the, Cleveland Leader
from Lorain. Ohio, says that the Cleve-
land, Lorain & Wheeling railroad has
just consummated deal that has been
on for months for the purchase OF u
tract OF sixty-eigh, acres OF land from
the Sheffield Land Company. The tract
lies along the railway tracks south OF
Seventeenth avenue. South Lorain. 1t
is the purpose OF the railroad company
to build large car and locomotive works
on this land and to supplement these
with roundhouse that will contain
nineteen stalls at first with O capacity
of forty when needed. The present
shops are entirely too small for present
needs. and the space for tracks and
switches too limited.
This will take the shops and round
house quite out of the present city
limits. but the Lorain Street Railway
proposes to extend its line to the loca-
ton OF these shops aud run every alter
nate car past the grounds. The work
OF filling in the low places and getting
the ground ready for building was be-
gun At once upon the ANNOUNCEMENT
this morning by President Woodford
that the deal was finally closed.

be held In that city April 1921, inclusive,

gani2ation The Houston Post deyotes two
pages in late issue to responses which

representative attendance from all Of the
Transmississippi States and Territories,
and meeting of leading citizens from ali
walks OF life industrial commercial and
political. II will be an assemblage that
will voice the sentiment OF the Western
half OF tho republic on matters relating TO
its material growth and development, in
no narrow or sectional spirit, bur along
broad lines OF National progress. For the
reception and entertainment OF the Con-
gress the citizens OF Houston are making
ample preparations. and the occasion VIII
he one when pleasure will nilngle with
business, and wholesome spirit OF en-
thusiasm engenders in the interest Of the
advancement of every State and Territory
in the great region within the scope OF the
Congress. The suggestion that Colorado
and all Of her leading cities send strong
delegations need hardly be repeated. Upon
the various questions that will be consld-
cred and discussed. Colorado should be
heard and her prominence as the Empire
State Of the Rocky mountains always
maintained.
