Lines of the Road Running Through
M0rgantOwn From Connellsyille to
Smithfield.
Surveys have been made by the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad and rights of
way have been secured for double
tracking the Pittsburg, FairmQnt,
Clarksburg 8 Redwood division from
CoDnellsville to Smithfeld, twenty
miles. This will cost in the neighbor-
hood Of $780, 900. The double track
ing OF this division has been under
consideration for some time. During
aud since the anthracite coal strike
much coal was taken east over this
line, increasing traffic to such an ex-
tent that the division was congested
on several occasions. The division
runs as far as Redwood, but the traf-
DC originating west OF Cheat river is
shipped to the main line at Grafton
and then over the main line. This
route was chosen principally because
of the Improvements being made on
the Cumberland division. Now that
the Misunderstanding has been almost
completed, the Pittsburg, Fairmont,
Clarksburg & Redwood division will
be improved SO that the traffic On the
west OF the division can be taken over
the Cumberland division, which II the
short haul. The line west Of Smith
field will be improved considerably.
This will :include eliminating curves
wherever possible, and cutting of
hills. The coal traffic going east
from the Klondike regions Is enormous
and the Baltimore s. Ohio offlcials are
compelled to provide facilities to
handle it.

The American factories have already

ents to close for some time but with
out success untU Saturday when the
other Two combines agreed TO close.
Meeting were held on Saturday in the
local glass houses, the Jones and the

Inquiry at the factories does not
elicit much information IN regard tt
the closing but it is stated that ovel
production has something to do With
IT, 1t is stated by glass men that all
but very few factories In the country
will close on Saturday.
ssIt Is on account OF the Usual sum
mer that the factory shuts down,

$4,000 10 BIZ SPENT
BY the B d o. in Morgansown
This Summer.
Big improvements are Planned and
Orders are Issued for their Execn
tion-New Freight Warehouse and
Bigger Passenger Station Promis
ed-Protest is said to Have Met
with Favorable Response.

Win afdforaDle Response.
Morgantown is to have a new
freight depot and additional facil
ties for shippers before the present
summer has ended She will also
receive more attention at the hands
of the B. d o. as far as the travelling
public is concerned.
These announcements were made
this morning by Agent A. d. Griffith
to this paper Mr.. Griffith stated
that he had talk today with w. A.
Race who had been in Baltimore to
present a protest sent from Morgan
town and other shipping points
He had consulted with several Of
the higher officials there and before
he left he had seen letters dictated
which started the machinery into
faster operation to relieve the local
situation.
For months past the officials have
been wrestling with the local prob
lem. They have surv yed and had
plans drawn only to reject them one
after another. One objection raised
to the contamination of any plan
which has for its object building ON
the present location of the depot is
that there is not room enough there
to do any thing.
1t has been decided to put in a
freight warehouse 125 feet wide and
$40 feet long. The site for this has
not been announced, although it has
been selected an twenty cars may
be unloaded at once at this ware
house.
A number of improvements will
be made for handling passenger
business as well. The estimated
Expenditures in connection with the
improvements Planned aggregated
$4,000. This will be done without
fail this summer.
Orders have been sent to lower
officials telling them to get busy
with their departments and see to
it that this is done at the earliest
possible moment.
In the meantime very little can be
done to help matters locally. Mr..
C. w. Huston who has been in
Pittsburg asking after a siding for
the Morgantown Lumber and Sup
lply company was told that the
siding would not be put IN until the
b. d O. had determined where its
additional sidings for the freight
warehouse were to be located
Every thing locally has been stopped
until the road can determine Just
what it shall do and where it shall
4 be done.
Before very long the protest which
has been made will bear fruit The
business men of the town may begin
to breathe easier when they see the
work started. They have been
promised so many things and sc
often and have never seen any thing
done that they are getting rather
skeptical about any thing being
done.
Mr.. Griffith states that he has
every assurance that the officials
recognize the Importance of Nor
gantown as shipping point and
know full well that it is improving
all the time and that they mus
make improvements to keep pac,
with the demands on their facilities
They will now get as busy as they
can and see to it that the town geti
all that is coming to it.
