Most Favored State.

That Kentucky which has been
laggard in the development of its
national resources, will now come
into its own, is thus voiced by the
Winchester Sun-Sentinel:
Kentucky is the most fortunate
State in that her almost inexhausti-
BILE resources were not developed I'M
til there was a demand for them at
remunerative prices The settlements
in this country were first made in
the east, along the Atlantic coast.
Virginia still refers TO Kentucky as
her back yard When the first great
continental railroads were contem-
plated, Kentucky was barrier. All
az the streams in Kentucky rise in the
southeast and their general flow is
in northwestern direction. To build
railroad westward through Ken
lucky it would have to cross the hills
and streams diagonally. In doing
this II would be necessary to make
II any cuts, fills and bridges. A much
cheaper route was found north of The
Ohio river where the country is COM
paratively level Railroads from the
east to the South went through the
tidewater country south of the Ale
phany al Cumberland ranges of
mountains.
These are the reasons why Ken
tUcky fell so far behind her sister
States in development, Following the
Civil War two main lines of rail-
road were built; the Cincinnati South.
un. running north and south. and
+ the Chesapeake & Ohio, running east
md west The completion of these
roads was the beginning of our de-
yclopment. Each Of them touched
! timber and coal lands that were in
accessible before. Other lines follow
ed and feeders for the main roads
will be built when needed. Thus It
Is, When the country has advanced
to the point where it needs our pro-
Duct we are ready for the market
The prosperity of Kentucky has just
begun. We are the most favored
State in the Union.
