The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1907-08-02

The Baltimore q Ohio. railroad in
Fairmont has kept even step with the
city's, advancement. From a single
track through the village d 1867, it
has grown to- trunk line, radiating
to the four cardinal points of the COM
pass.
The growthiof the railroad has been
ooincident with that Of the city When
Fairmont was d village the system
was small and its local facilities
nieagre; when Fairmont became
city the system expanded and tAcill'
ties Increased. In 1860 a new passeh
ger and q new freight station We're
built; while receiving and delivery
yards were doubled IN capacity. THIS
construction Of the Pawpaw branch
was begun tho same year. In 1902 4
was discovered that further expansion
was necessary, and the yards were
again enlarged. Recently the bridge
over the Monongahela below the city
was relocated and an Industrial tracG
built uD HIckman's run to relieve the
congestion Of manufacturing plants on

greater task to build the seventeen;
mile grade through the Alleghenics
or the Kingwood tunnel at that tima,
than it was to build the subway in
Now York city a year or two ago,
Those were the days when the steam

were unknown. In fact, before tine
tunnels were built many of the. rail
roads ran over the mountains and the
hills which were later on tunneled.

A Unique Savings Bank

The Bradford Opinion believes tn 1t
the unique position of the Hyde Park
Savings Bank, in investing all its funds
in Vermont, promotes safety. 1t says ::
The Iamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co., holds a somewhat unique position
in Vermont banking circles. lis slogan is
Vermont money for the up building Of Yer
mont industries. The principle is carried out
SO thoroughly that every cent OF the bank 5
funds is invested in Vermont, and the bank
has never lost dollar on poor note follow
ing this policy. This is one answer to the
cry that there is no chance to invest money at
home.
The banks policy has been for safe invest
ment rather than for high rate Of interest
and on the eleventh OF this month the assets
Of the bank passed the mllion-dolar mark.
Neither the policy nor the success of the bank
is so strange, when we know that Hon. Car
roll 5. Page, Of calfskin fame, is the bank 5
president
This Bank pays 4 per cent. com
pounded semi-annualy on deposits OF
500 or more remaining in the bank
one full year.

Prohibition Does Prohibit"
(Bv the Local Union)

So says a liquor salesman who was talking to a fellow traveller. He went further and said Who sOever says it does not is liar or a fool" His testimony was even stronger. He said he could sell more beer in a license state in four days than he could in four months where they have even partial prohibition.
 It Is amusing and decidedly interesting to see how the Brew CTS and Distillers are wanting to dissolve any relationship what ever with each other and each is blaming the other for the people making such inroads on their trade" by such strin gent legis- lation.
 Let us not grow content or idle because of this alarm, but rather redouble energy and bring the victory nearer.

Government Makes Diamond Report

Washington, Aug. 12.-The following statement has been is sued by the Geological Survey relative to diamonds in Pike county, Arkansas:
 Although diamonds have been found in at least thirty places in the United States, the only locality where they occur in place has recently been discovered and has been investigated by George F. Kunz, the gem expert, and Dr. H. $. Washington, petro- grapher.I
 They occur in an igneous rock, similar to that in the South African mines, which forms a small stock near Murfreesboro, Pike county, Arkansas.
 The first two stones were found August 1, 1906, and since then many of them have been picked up, the total number found at last report being 130 Many are white and of good water, others are yellow, and some are of brown bort.
 The two largest stones weigh 63 carats, one being exceedingly fine white and the other brown. They are found on the surface as well as within the greenish, fri able, decomposed peridotite, a rock somewhat like the famous blue ground" of Kimberly.
 The property is being actively prospected and developed.
