RAILROAD MEN
FEAR CAR SHORTAGE

The rapid revival of business all over
the country and the bumper crops now
assured to farmers everywhere with
splendid prices will, il is feared, pro-
duce a car famine such as proved so
troublesome in 1906 and 1907. Dur
ing the last two years the railroads
all over the country have been operat-
ing on as economical a basis as possi-
ble many of them not even spending
money for car repairs and now the sit
uation which confronts them is serious.
indeed.
The large eastern car factories are
running on fun time to supply the de-
mand for rolling stock which is COM
ing in not only from every American
railroad, but also from Japan, China
and the Philippines.
Besides this new equipment there is
also a keen demand for repair work
on old cars. all together presaging an
era of exceptional prosperity for the
car building industry.
Hitherto there have been no shops
on the Pacific coast prepared to handle
the car building business except a
small plant at Seattle and the w. L.
Holman company in San Francisco. the
latter plant, however, having been
principally engaged in the passenger
car building business. This condition
has been all the more strange because
the lumber which is used for car build
ing comes from the Pacific coast. and
a local plant would have the advantag ge
of fully $50 or $50 per car on the saw
ing of freight charges on this item
alone. Besides this, every car which
is brought from the east has TO pay
from $50 to $1S7.50 in freight toll for
being hauled. the lower charge being
made when the railroad hauling the car
is allowed to fill it up with freight and

HENRY GWlN DEAD.
CALMLY GOES TO SLEEP SUNDAY. JULY.
18Th. 1909. AT l:3O Pm.

Henry Gwinn died at his home in
Hannah district, this county, last
Sunday, a. ! 80 p. m. There was
perhaps no one in that section of our
county SO universally respected by
his ncighbors and friends as Mr..
Gwinn. No one ever came to him
in need and went away empty
handed. But it is the church at
Glenwood that will particularly miss
his charity and hospitality. For
many years he was a member of the
Glenwood NJ. f. Church, South, and
his home was the stopping place for
ministers of that denomination, as
well as all Others in worthy cause.
To the christian cause he gave his
means freely and cheerfully. He
was in his 10Th year at the time of
his decease. In early manhood he
married Miss Ann Eliza Newman, of
Mud River, in Cabell county, and
shortly thereafter moved to his pres
ent farm in Mason county, where he
has continually resided, until his
death. To this union there were
eight children born, all of whom sur
vive him, his wife having died about
eight years before. The names of
the children are as follows: o. E.
Gwinn, C. E. Gwinn and Mrs. W.
D. Holloway of Huntington, W. Va,
Mrs. John L. Written of Point
Pleasant, W. Va. and DR.. V. H.
Gwinn of Brookville, Fla. He will
be buried beside his wife in Spring
Hill Cemetery, Huntington, on We'd
nesday, after brief funeral services
conducted by his pastor at the resi-
dence before taking the morning
train for Huntington.
