NEWPORT NEWS, VA, March 49,
The confirmation Of the statement that
d the Deepwater Railroad Company Will
4 extend its line from the West Virginia
coal fields to the Virginia scaboard, and
the authentic statement that the Stand
ard on Company owns the Deepwater
Road. seems to confirm the story that
the Goulds will build an extension from
#the Virginia border to Underwater Vir-
& ginia, and will probably establish large
terminals at Gloucester Point, II not at
Newport News. The connection Of the
Standard OIL Company with the Deep
water line recalls recent journey South
that George Gould made for the purpose
I OF comforting with Rockefeller and other
Standard on magnates.
48 At Palm Beach, Fla, the annual con-
ference between the Goulds and Rookie
Teller was held for the purpose Of map
ping out their Will Street campaign
and talking over their kindred interests.
THE Goulds want q terminus neryer the
Atlantic than Baltimore. The Standard
OIL 9interosts own a railroad that has
declared It's intention Of making an ex-
tension to the seaboard for tho purpose
OF handling KanaWha and Pocahontas
/ coal In competition with the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western
Railroads, both controlled by tho Penn-
sylvanla, Goulds' big rival. The Goulds
have acquired control of the Chesapeake
aud Western Railroad, which has rights
OF way from the mountains OF Virginia
practically the entire, distance to the
chesapeake. The Standard Oh people
have secured a charter for their deep
water road through West Virginia cotln-
ties and to the A1leghanies at Alleghany
Station, on the Chesapeake ana ONO. .
So Putting two and two together IT would
seem as II there IS more ground LOT INC
rumors Of competing road tc this Sec
ton than appear on the face of some Of
the newspaper stories. A survey OF q
route to Gloucester Point was recently
completed, and It.. Is believed 1t was Tor
the Goulds. n 4 81 WI,
