IS THE VIRCINIAN
COMING THIS WAY?
Rumor That New Road VIII
Pass Through Tazewell, and
Other Southwest Counties.

According to reports which have
every evidence of truthfulneSs. but
hich have not yet been verified,
work has been begun by the Virgil
nian Railway clearing the right of
way for a branch line extending into
the Poahontas coal fields of West
Virginia, from Pocahontas Va, to
Rock, w. Va. a distance of about
twenty miles.
1t is further understood that the
contract for the grading has been
let, and that 200 men will be set To
work within the next few days. 1t
is said TO be the purpose oil the COM
pany TO carry the line TO completion
as rapidly as possible.
If the statement be true the new
road will bring the Virg'nian into
direct competition with one OF the
Norfolk and Westerns best feeders.
1t appears TO have been the policy of
the late Henry Rogers to build his
road to the seaboard by the shortest
possible route regardless of mount
aims, valleys, coal fields, leading
cities, OF anything else, and then to
construct side lines TO the coal fields
or to any other locality that promis-
ed business. Several of these branch
es were under construction at the
time OF Mr.. Rogers cath, and il was
a question among railroad men as TO
whether the new management would
carry out the plans of the originator.
But there has been no cessation in
branch building, and il would seem
that the original idea is TO be carried
out. This, it is estimated, will entail
an expense equal TO more than half
the first cost of the main line. How
ever, il is admitted by these who
claim TO be conversant with the
situation, that ii will place the road
in direct touch with one of the
greatest coal areas in the world.
When the branches under construc-
tion and those contemplated are
complete, the Nirginian will reach
both The New River and Kanawha
fields, the Raleigh field in the Wind
ing Gulf, the Boone and Logan fields,
and the great Pocahotas field. The
scheme includes the most important
coal territory in Southern West
| Virginia.
