go back over this country ten
years hence and see the develop
ments which has taken place.
The opportunities at present are
dazzing. While much Of the
land is held at figures so high
as TO preclude the possibility Of
wonderful profits. there are fire
quent opportunities TO acquire
coal and timber tracts at prices
which make it certain that for
tunes await investors. For i'm
stauce, a tract of about five
hundred acres OF coal lands two
miles from the railroad may be
bought for only a few dollars
an acre. The mining rights,
carrying with them the right 20

needed in mining. may be pur-
chased for $3.50 4 contrac-

outlay Of say $4,000 now would
mean much wealth in a few
years.
Such opportunities arc not.
very rare. II would seem as
though SO much money has been
spent i'm developing this section
in the past few years that the
supply is running short. Ger
tain it is, il is much easier 10
induce investors TO buy large
properties IN Southwest Vir-
ginia that requires "A half mil
lion dollars or a million. than
TO induce the investment of
fifty thousand. Holders of small
coal tracts have discov cred this
TO their sorrow. 4 man of my
acquaintance only few weeks
ago went 60 New York for the
purpose Of inducing a capitalist
of that city 90 buy a tract of
timber in Southwest Virginia
held at S225,C0 The capitalist
refused to make such a small in
vestment.
Il should not care TO get in

a sm all amount" he said.
"Find us something worth a
million and Wen talk 10 you. 3"
1t occurred TO me that this
was an eminently attractive
field 10 the investor of compar-
atively small means.
1--WE are suffering from alb
sentee landlordism, " said a Vir-
ginian who has made a fortune
out of coal and timber in the
Southwest. "All the develop
ment you see out here means
dividens to northern people. In
nearly all cases, especially in
the case of large operations, the
owners are men of the north
who seldom see their proper
ties, contenting themselves
with signing receipts for checks
representing dividends. d Ii
makes me weep TO see how Vir-
ginians of wealth have stead
fastly refused to invest in our
coal and timber, allowing their
money to go into railroad stocks
of much less certain va u e
while people Of other sections
have bought Southwest Vir-
ginia coal and timber tracts
and are making millions out of
them"
This man said he was at pres
ent engaged IN stocking coal
mining company, and that he
was giving virginians the re-
fusal of the stock, as he was

Prof. Nathan Powell, college chap
lain and professor of languages, is
not inclined to let either language
or theology absorb all his time and
attention. He is lover of good
horses, and has recently purchased
one of the finest stations ever seen
on the college grounds. The horse
is German Haroverian and Olden-
burgh coach horse Fernando No.
37o3, with a pedigree as long as
the best of them. The stock was
established in 1899, and is the old
est strain of purebred horses in the
world. The stock is noted for size
action, speed, quality and fxiduess
of type. Fernando's sire, Freiherr
No. 1907, was awarded a goo mark
prize for excellence by the German
and also won second
place in the great horse show at
Paris, France.
Fernando is deep bay in color,
with black points, and is } years
old. He was raised in Ostfreisland,
Germany, whence he was brought
TO this country in March by OF
mann Bros. of Watseka, ILL.,, and
Fort Worth. The horse is valued
