Electric Road.

Work on the surveys and other
preliminary operations for the new
electric road from Winchester to
Washington are at standstill
during the present bad weather.
Efforts are now being made TO
secure options in the neighbor-
hood of Berry's Ferry.
The COURIER has always advo-
Gated the line by way of Berryville,
but if the landowners on the river
below here persist in their demands
for prohibitive prices they will
simply kill the goose that would
Law the golden egg.
If the landowners ould only
realize it, the mere establishment
of the line will increase the price
of their land to such an extent that
they can we'll afford To give right
of way over their property.
In the case of the site for dams
and power houses on the river, the
company stands ready and willing
to pay fair price for the land
used. but the men at the head Of
the movement are entirely too
shrewd to pay an eXhorbitant
price, and the landowners may as
we'll understand this now as later.
The COURIER has received a
number of letters from out-of-town
parties who are favorably Impress
ed with the idea and would be glad
to take stock in the road If the
surveys and other preliminary
work shows to good advantage.
Berryville needs this road badly.
At present we have no outlet east
and west except wagons. There
is a large territory east and west
of BerryviIle which could be
brought to Berryville for its sup
plies if we had the line built as
contemplated.
Those persons living along the
line would have rapid access to
our markets with their products.
The prices of their land would be
greatly increased by being more
accessible to the public.

\ WORD 10 the landowners:
Don't try to "gouge" the COM
pany with too high a price on your
land. The company has three sur
veys, either of which can be used
to advantage. If your price is not
within reason they will take one
OF the other routes and YOU will be
left in the field as formerly. Set
fair price on your property. The
company doesn't want it for moth
ing. You will receive fair price,
your other property will be in
creased in value, and yor willhave
aqulck outlet for your products
and rapid means of obtaining
your supplies. Think this over.

habit Of seeking out the nests Of these

of their eggs and thus destroying the
