WHERE IS MAI HILL7
The Telegram wants The Wise Guys. 10
Gone and Locate Il

The Parkerburg News dishes up
this story:
sat CIarksburg the Baltimore s.
Ohio Railroad company has begun the
work OF making connection with the
West Virginia Short Line which runs
from there TO New Martinsville. The
large steam shovel which has been
working at McMechen and Benwood
Junction for several weeks has been
taken there to dig the cut through n
hill which is necessary TO make the
connection. 1t is said that it will
take all winter TO complete the cut
ready for the laying of the track.
This Looks as thouqa the B. s. o. COM
pany had or expected to control the
West Virginia Short Line. When the
Ohio River road was purchased by the
B. s o. the former controlled the
Short Line but 1t was not purchased
then. When the connection is made
and the new line completed to that
point 1t will afford the B. s o. short
route to the river.
The News, as well as some other
Parkersburg papers, ought to inform
themselves on actual conditions, and
incidentally they might tell the pub
lie that B. s o. mileage is good over
the Short Line, and not as yet hon
ored or taken over the Ohio River
railroad. The Short Line has run
into the B. & o. depot here for two
months or more. The connection is
good, in fact, as good as it can be
made, and where that hill is, is the
question. The Parkersburg papers
will come to our relief by locating
that hill. 1t might be Pinnickinnick.
Trot out those wise guys.
