CHEAT RIVER ROAD.
Profile for New Railroad Has
Been Filed.

cy of the Valley.
A profile of a proposed railroad
from Cheat Haven to Rowlesburg
has been filed IN the Office of the
clerk of the county court. This
was filed by Judge Joseph More
land, who represents the B. d 0. at
this place as their attorney.
Mr., Moreland was seen and asked
about the matter, but he declined
to be interviewed, stating that the
filing of the profile was public prop
erty and beyond that he knew moth
ing which the public was entitled to
share with those back of the road.
1t is learned however that the
road Is the one with which John T.
McGraw has been identified for
some time. 1t runs foom a connec
ton with the B. d o. at Cheat Ha-
ven up the river to Rowlesburg.
The road is known as the F. NJ.
and 2. until it reaches the State
Line, when the name changes to the
Cheat River railroad. The east
bank of the river is followed until it
reachss Squirrel Rock, a distance
above the Hilarity club, when it
crosses to the west side.
Connection is made with the main
line at Rowlesburg and a long cut off
is made in the road from that point
to Pittsburg. The heavy grades west
OF Rowlesburg are eliminated by this
change and much more freight can be
pulled by single freight engine than
can now be taken by two up the steep
mountain sides.
Work of construction will start on
the road Immediately. 1t is to be
finished within year according to
the reports given to the NEW DoMIN-
ION. The work will be attended by
enormous difficulty on account of the
character of the country through
which 1t passes.
All summer surveyors have been
busy along the canyon and the profile
which has been approved by the di-
rectors of the company IS one of the
fruits OF their efforts. 1t can be con-
tldently asserted that those who are
backing the road have the money to
build it.
Rights of way are now being secur-
ed and this part Of the work will be
pushed as fast as possible.
Several other roads are thought to
be wanting to get through this valley
and there may be fight for suprem-
acy before the question is settled as to
who shall have it. 1t is certain that
there will be at least one railway up
the valley and that very soon.

TO DISCUSS STRIKERS RELIEF.
Conference Today-Mitcheli Says
Harrisburg Meeting Was
Futile.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 16.-Sheriff
Jacobs and a large number of depu-
ties assembled at the court house at
an early hour yesterday morning in
anticipation of trouble occurring at
some of the mines. BuHoutside of an
outbreak at Old Forge, in which an
Italian was badly beaten by strikers,
the day was a very quiet one in the
strike region. National Board Mem
Der John Fallon went to Nantieoke
early yesterday morning to head of
any trouble in that section and other
prominent officials OF the United
Mine Workers went to other parts Of
the county to advise against any
marches on the collieries. But no
marches were attempted neither was
there any effort mace to resume work
at any of the big mines. 1t is said
the attempt may be made when least
expected, probably some day this
week.
An important conference will be
held at strike headquarters today.
Among those who will take part will
be President Mitchell, District Presi-
dents Nichols, Duffy, Fahy and Ma
tional Treasurer Wilson, Of Indian
apolis, and Samuel B. Gompers, pres
ident Of the American Federation ct
Labor. Bishop Fallows, of the Re-
formed Episcopal church, of Chicago,
may also be present. 1t is stated thu
chief topic that will be discussed will
be the relief plan. Mr.. Gompers, it
is said. has some proposition to make
striking miners all winter, should they
decide to continue the battle.
Harrisburg Conference Was Futile.
indianapolis, Sept 16.--In an inter.
view with the News over the long dis.
lance telephone yesterday John Mitch
ell, at Wilkesbarre, said in part:
II can't predict when the anthracite
strike will be settled. If anything is
being done toward settlement by the
other side, | don't know of it. Moth
ing toward a settlement was accom-
plished at the Harrisburg conference
| between Governor Stone, the presi-
dents of the three anthracite districts,
myself and others who have been try
| ing to end the strike. We simply met
and discussed the causes and prog
ress of the strike"
Did Governor Stone represent J.
Pierpont Morgan or any of the an
thracite presidents ?'
Il did not understand that he was
representing anyone but himself.
There is no foundation for the report
that the men are to return to work on
promise that the operators will
make concessions and arbitrate after.

to work under such an arrangement"
New York, Sept. 16.-The Baptist
ministers conference, at its weekly
meeting yesterday, adopted resolu-
tons protesting against continu-
ance of the coal strike. The resolu.
lions stated the ministers belief that
arbitration was the rational method
OF just and speedy settlement. In
case of delay of settlement the min

COAL DEALS CLOSED.
Large Sums Paid to Farmers by the
Representative of Senator Elkins.

GRAFTON, w. Va, Sept. 16.-Ira
e. Robinson, general purchaser of
coal lands for Senator s. B. Elkins
in the late Preston Monongalia coun-
ties coal deals, has returned from
Morgantown, where he paid out some
$40, 900 to farmers In that portion of
Monongdlia county that borders on
Preston, the same being the closing
of contracts for severaI important
tracts. Robinson has paid out for the
Senator several hundred thousand
dollars in all In these two counties,
and many hundred acres OF valuable
land has been acquired. These lands
are located chiefly on the west side of
Cheat river, lying from the eastern
part of Monongalia county clear to
the river, and embracing also the big
tract known as the Crab orchard, on
the east side of the river, and which
contains one Of the most valuable
veins to be found anywhere in that
section. This is the same section in
which has been located town site,
and which is destined to become an
important center of Preston. Here
will be located the principal works OF
the EIkins Company, and owing to it's
central location it will almost be a
commercial center Of the country.
The National Bank at Kingwood,
brought about through the purchase
of these lands, and of which Robin
son Is president, is now in working
order, and will do thriving business.
Incidentally engaged in the sale Of
the lands mentioned were James S.
Lakin and Farley DeBerry, the well
known real estate tinanciers Of Terra
Alta, who had purchased leases on
several hundred acres or the best lands
in the coal belt, closing them out to
Senator Elklns' company at fair net
profit.

Where is the Report {?

Some time ago President Roose
welt sent Hon Carroll d. Wright in
to the anthracite region in Pennsyl
yania for an investigation of the
conditions there. A report was made
by him to the President. No an
nouncement of its contents has as
yet been made. 1t is stated that it
would seriously affect the election
this fall if given out. Wonder if
this IS what keeps it hidden?

TAXPAYERS MADE
VIGOROUS KICK
Against The Raise ia Property Val
ues Here.
TO PROTEST TO ARBITRAT0Rs
Increased Values Put Upon Proper
ties May Add half Million to Tax
Income. Will Hear Protests on
Friday Morning Next.

Many, very many citizens of Ameri-
ems awoke yesterday merning to find
themselves richer by far than when
they retired the night before, though
it may we'll be said that this unexpect-
ed addition to their stock Of worldly
good elected no thanks at all,
A more unappfecistive lot would in
deed be difficult to find.
For instance, Jones, Smith er Brown
went to bed in house which they felt
sure was worth but 50, 900, and awoke
to find that it was we'll worth $1,000,
and not a cent out, they.
This cheerful information was con-
veyed in a circular letter from City
Clerk Mitchell, who stated that the
BoaSd of Assessors had contributed the
added value, thinking, in looking over
the property returns, that the first
valuation was bit short.
Really. the Board of Assessors have,
in q number of instances, increased
valuations of realty from the figures at
which owners gave it in. But in other
cases, where they deemed the value
pat down as quite sufficient, they made
30 change therein at all.
In one instance they csnaidly told
citizen that he had returned his prop
erty for more than it was worth, thus
showing their purpose to be perfectly
gust and fair to all.
The assessors are Messrs. J. Z.
1 Roney. Fl. E. Allen and j. T. Stallings
| In looking over the returns these
4 gentleman made substantial increases
| in some instances where the values
given were absurdly low and all II
all the increase thus gained may ado
from a quarter to a half million tt
values of property in the city.
Every citizen thus ''raised' has thu
right Of protest and arbitration anC
must file notice thereof within tel
\ days. The board will also meet OF
