Superintendent w. ii. Gallup re
ceived kilograms this morning from
Miss Carman, of Urbana, HI. and

Wilson of Cans Pa went TO his home
at that place this morning. He had
been here for few days looking
over the route Of the Morgantown

busily at work.
Mr.. Wilson recently came here
from Jefferson and Berkeley coun-
ties, where he has been engaged for
some time in securing right of way
past Shepherdstown for the new b.

hauling in that section.
He will be employed in securing
rights of way on short line east

branch.

engineers making what appears to
be the final surveys and location for
this branch.
1t it learned that this Morgan
town and Confluence road is only
one section in new route from Cum
berland to Wheeling and continuing
on West to Chicago.
Great Efforts are being made to
shorten the distance by railroad
between the east and Chicago. The
! first surveys made followed prirci.
pally the crooked courses in order
to avoid heavy grades, tunnels etc
The country was then unknown. and
surveying was too expensive to at
tempt it over doubtful routes.
With more knowledge OF the coun-
try the railroad companies are finding
new and shorter routes that are prac'
tica bic.
It is more than 200 miles from
Cumberland to Wheeling by either
route by way Of Grafton and Fairmont,
or by way Of Connellsville and Pitts
burg.
BY Confluence and Morgantown, anc
the new route being surveyed between
here and Wheeling, the distance is sale
to be only about lao miles. This
would make saving of nearly two
hours in run from Cumberland u
Chicago, by way Of Wheeling, and the
new section Of road would traverse
one OF the richest coal fields in thf
Appalachian region.
