Elements: in this country were first
made in the east, along the Allan
tic coast; Virginia still refers to
Kentucky as her back yard. When
the first great continental railroads
were contemplated, Kentucky was
a barrier All of the streams in
Kentucky rise in the southeast
and theiTgeneral flow is in a north
western direction. To build rail-
road westward through Kentucky
it would .have to cross the hills
and streams diagonally. In doing
this it would be necessary to make
many cuts, fills and bridges. A
much cheaper route was found
north of the Ohio river where the
country Eis comparatively level.
Railroads from the east to the
south we4t through the tidewater

Cumberland ranges of mountains.
"Theseiare the reasons why Ken.
tucky fell so far behind her sister
states in development. Following
the civil ;war two main lines of
railroad we're built: the Cincin-
natl Southern, running north and
south, arid the Chesapeake and
Ohio, running east and west. The
completion of these roads was the
beginning of our development. |
Each of them touched timber and |
coal lands that were inaccessible
before. Other lines followed and |
feeders fof the main roads will be
built when needed. Thus it is.

THE prospect for the extension

pie of Hazel Green, at least. than
1T ever has bfen. Some Of the
farmers along the line of the:Lacy
creek route were contrary About
giving the right of way, orr even
selling at reasonable price The
projectors determined then to
come down Trace, up Laurel. and
down the Swango fork of Lacy
creek to Hazel Green, which will
lessen the distance about s miles
and be far more direct. So far
t hey have met with much eneour-
:agement and but little to the re-
verse. John Henry Campbell, Tn.
Gle John Campbell, John Barker,
Hon. Joe P. Rose and Charles w.
Cecil are among those who have
given the right of way-sllt this
side of Saltwater, and as it was
actically secured to that point
it is now more than a guess that
a survey will be made at once and

of the men named was at first dis
