Mexico and Orient railway. II is fur-
Their stated that the only link needed
10 complete the line from coast 20
coast Is between Chicago and en-
cinnati, and this probably will be pro
4ided by the purchasing of the chi

paDy.
This report Is plausible and has
every appearance of truth-the people
Of Newport News sincerely hope that
IL is all true, and that the final link
will be connected just as soon as
possible. II has been known here
ever since Mr.. fIawley and his asso-
ciates acquired the Chesapeake and
Ohio that the road would be connected
up with Western lines and that the
new owners had In view a great trans
continental route, with Newport News
as the Atlantic terminus. Therefore
local people have been reading with
interest all of the various reports
which have been published In this
connection. a number of articles In
regard to this matter have appeared
in various papers. and at once time il
was persistently rumOred that the
Chesapeake and Ohio would take over
the Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton
road In order TO connect UP the line
with the West This latter report
seems TO have been without fOunda
ton, In spite OF it's persistence. Mr..
Hawley and his associates have
quietly gone ahead with their plans.
paying little attention 10 reports and
giving out practically no information
concerning their operations.
Although the dispatches published
yesterday are encouraging. and
appear to bear the earmarks of truth,
they, like all others sent out In this
connection. lack official confirmation
from headquarters. 1t is probable,
however. that. even though il Is true.
the announcement will have no Off
cial confirmation until the last link
Is connected and the trunk line from
coast to coast is a reality.
What a line from coast to coast.
with Newport News as the Atlantic
terminus. will mean for this city Is
easily imagined Already the effect oil
the Independent management of the
Chesapeake and Ohio is being felt;
operations along the waterfront are
beginning to assume their old time
proportions. and the indications are
that what has happened is only an
earnest of what Is to come. When
the trunk line is complete the IA
cilitles of the greatest single railway
terminal on the coast Will need i'm
proyements and additions, and an
army OF men will be employed on the
yards, in the offices and on the piers.
