| the Pittsburg coal, while the route OF
! the Buckhannon s. Northern, running
along the Tygarts Valley river.
through Fairmont and Grafton to
Belington, passes through Pittsburg
coal only for the distance below Fair
mont. For the greater part of it's
Southern length, the Buckhannon &
Northern would have only the lower
coal measures; more than that, its
survey follows rugged country from
Fairmont to its southern terminus:
while the survey OF the Plttshurg,
Elk&Southern,as developed Thursday,
goes through the best agricultural
districts Of West Virginia, the best
country in the State and through the
oil and gas region. and as has been
said, through the great Pittsburg coal
measures for its entire length. 1t
also reaches Clarksburg, the largest
city in the interior.
The one great object OF the Wabash
line is, presumably. tonnage, and this
would give it the greatest feeders in
the State, and enable that system to
have the same opportunity for great
Pittsburg coal tonnage as is possessed
by the B. s. o. The survey and all
matters connected with this railroad
line have been conducted, apparently,
with great care and secrecy and moth
ing whatever was known about it un-
til the fling of the maps Thursday,
which was necessary to hold the
route.
The railroad corporation was also
organized here today. Hon. Mel
vile d. Post. of Grafton, W. Va, a
member OF the law firm OF McGraw s.
Post, was elected president Ut this
railroad company. It is said here
that one OF the largest banking houses
in New York is behind this railroad
survey for the Wabash system. Mr..
Post. president of the new railroad
company, is also president of the Steel
S Iron fuel Company, which has large
holdings OF the Psttsburg coal in the
Clarksburg and Fairmont regions,
and 1t is thought this corporation has
taken up all the available Pittsburg
coal. not owned by the b. * o. and In
dependent operators. This would
give the Wabash the same great sys-
tenn OF mines in the Pittsburg coal as
is now found along the B. S o., under
the control of the Fairmont Coal Com
pany, the Clarksburg Fuel Company
aud the Consolidated Coal Company.
Mr.. Pest is also a director in the
Greenbrier. MonongateIa S Pittsburg
and the Rowlesburg s Parsons rail-
companies, and is heavy stakeholder
in the Wabash Coal * Coke Company,
and in the Grafton Banking * L rus.
Company.
The filing of the maps OF this route
will probably result in considerable
advance in real estate here.
The hope of Wabash line through
this city has been abandoned, prac-
tically. and 1t was thought that the
line Of the road would be along the
Tysarts Valley river or along the Lit
tie Kanawha river, but an examine
tion OF this Pittsburg. Elk * southern
Railway. shows it TO be the nearest
and most practicable route from Pits
burg To the West Virginia Central,
and 1t is thought here that the line
along the Tygaris Valley river will be
abandoned as the one along the Little
Kanawha was abandoned. and tina,
the Wabash will take this route
through TO Pittsburg.

Removal Of DepOt Talked OF.

It is currently reported on the streets
that the 0. R. & N. Company will move
their depot four blocks west from its
present site to location at the foot of
Irving street. Nothing definite could
be learned about the matter from local
railroad officials. 1t is reported though

week from Portland to decide the mat
ter The present location it too cramped
and with warehouse on each side the
track it is inconvenient. The company
expects to remodel the bridge east Of
depot this year. The reverse curve will
be taken out and the track in front Of
the depot extended a hundred feet to-
ward the Columbia. If this is done
there will be plenty of room for the de-
pot at the present location. Several real
estate deals have already been made in
expectation of removal of the depot.
