THE qUYAN
VALLEY
PROBABLE ROUTE OF VIRGINIA
RAILWAY TO THE SEA-
BOARD.

The report is current In railroad
circles that the Deepwater railroad,
the Western end OF Virginia Rail-
way the new Tidewater road, has
decided upon a route from Raleigh
county down the Guyan river. strik-
ing the Ohio river at Huntington, on
their line to the Lakes and TO the
west The report is substantiated
from the fact that rights of way are
being secured along thfs route be-
cause the attorney for the Deepwater
railroad has given notice that the
suit aginst the White Oak Railway
Company in Fayette county has been
withdrawn
In the suit against the White Oak
Railway Company, the Deepwater
railway contended for right of way
over certain lands already taken by
the White Oak Railway. They also
contend for tipple and terminal
facilities at Mt Carbon which was
i'm conflict with the White Oak Rail
way. and the withdrawal of these
suits to bear ont the current rumor
that the big trunk line will choose
the route down the Guyan river.
Since it has been known that the
Deepwater railroad would eventually
push on 10 the Great Lakes. severa
routes have been surveyed by the
company through he coal fields to
the southern section of the state. 1t
has been stated that the railroad
would run from Bluegeld TO Hinton

was reported that they would come

CAR SHORTAGE
DECISIVE ACTION TAKEN by
RAILWAY ASSOCIATION.

Chicago, April Decisive ac-
ion was taken here yesterday by the
American Railway Association at its
meeting TO remedy the car shortage
which for several months has been
causing so much worry among ship
peTs throughout the country, 80 far
as the trouble has been due to the
lack of proper and equitable inter
change arrangements.
The failure of some roads TO fur
nish sufficient quota of equipment
for their own traffic and the failure
70 provide and enforce proper rules
or the return of foreign cars to their
pwn roads are responsible for the
heritage, and to- remedy the evil the
association yesterday adopted a rule
