COAL COMPANIES
CONSOLIDATED
Important Movement For Improvement Of
the SOutaWeSt--LaTge Sums Will
Be Spent in Development Of
GIiach Pr0periies. ,.

1t is said on good authority that the
Thomas F. Ryan and J. Pierpont Nor
gan interests are the interests that are
considering the purchase of all the
lands in Southwest Virginia which have
been the cause of so much speculation.
If this is true, and there is every rea-
son to believe that it is true, it is very
likely that the deal by which the Vir-
ginia Iron, Coal and Coke Company
was reported sold some time ago was
put through. The Virginia Iron, Coal
and Coke Company is or was principally
owned by Henry K. McHarg, of New
York. 1t is claimed that he owned 95
per cent. of the stock of the Virginia
Iron, Coal and Coke Company which
has large acreage and has number
of operations through the South and
principally at Toms Creek, in Wise
county. If this property has been sold
the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Com
paoy will become large owner of coal
lands and may change the whole map
of the Southwest as far as railroads are
concerned by the entrance of the Vir-
ginia and Southwestern into the field.
The New York people who are after
lands in the Southwest have through
agents secured options on the following
coal land companies and together with
other smaller acreages the total acreage
under option is brought to log, 900 acres,
all of which lies in fairly compact
space in Southwest Virginia:
Buchanan Iron and Coal Company,
$500 acres. t... ~.
Big Axe Coal and Coke Company,
II, 800 acres. --
buchanan Coal and Coke Company,
%, 900 acros. ,t..--. ... 49,,
Clinch Valley Coal and Iron Company,
$500 acres. ........ .....
Coal Mountain Mining Company,
II, 900 acres. .... ..''
Henry c. Stuart, 1,S00 acres.
Added to these companies is a large
number of smaller holdings which bring
the total up to log, 900 acres. If this
amount of coal land is added to that
already owned by the Virginia Iron.
Coal and Coke Company or its new
owners it can redily be seen that the
Virginia and Southwestern will soon
become an active factor in the South
west Virginia field.
1t has been thought that the Buch-
anan Coal and Coke Company was pur-
chased by Clarence Watson for develop
ment purposes, but the story which has
been circulated states that Mr.. Watson
has either sold or given an option on
the property. The report states that
it was sold, and it is likely that it is
true. -....... .......t
1t is learned that the people who are
planning purchase of these coal lands
have made arrangements by which they
can secure longer options if they find
that it would be unwise for financial
reasons to make the purchase at the
present time.
With the Virginia and Southwestern,
the Norfolk and Western, the Louisville
and Nashville and the Carolina, CIinch-
field and Ohio the Southwest will be
well supplied with coal carrying rail
roads.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Caustic crltl-
cism and dry humor, intermingled In
remarks by Representative Macon OF
Arkansas in the house today. his sub
ject being the bill Of expenditures
contracted by the immigration COM
mission upon its recent European
trip. Mr.. Macon was twice called to
account for exceeding the limits of
parliamentary debate, only his quick
retraction averting discipline by the
house. In urging the adoption of his
resolution providing for an investi-

More than two hours Of the ses-
sion of the house were devoted to a
discussion of the tariff and high
prices, especially as related to the
state of Texas, Representative Henry
Of Texas and Boutell of Illinois be-
ing the principal speakers.
In the senate the postal savings

take action In opposition to the boy
colts of the unions against meat. 1t
all indicates that the farmer is over
looking no chances to care for him.
self.
To the business men Of the inter-
ior towns there comes also mixed
view of the situation. They are d.
yided between the desire to take. ad'
vantage of the prosperity Of the
farmer constituents and the objec-
tibn to paying higher prices for eat
akles. In the end the former inf1u-
ence is the stronger, for upon the
farmer in the last analysis the pros
perity of the interior towns depends.
Among the shrewd business men
there is a sentiment that it is better
to pay more and have the farmers
gain riches; for wnlie there have
been temporary Inconvenience dur
ing the past year, on the whole it has
been a good business period, and the
loosening of the farmers hold on
the stored products is certain to
come some time.
The possibility that the agitation
the country over will affect trade in
the west is discussed eagerly. The
fact that the interior is raising things
to eat makes this pertinent ques-
ton. That the faith is not yet shak'
en- is evidenced by frequent instanc-
es, such as the purchase here last
week of 1853 automobiles, fifty one
carloads, by a single firm in small
town of 5000 population in the wheat
belt. That indicates faith in at least
one form of the farmers expendi'
lures. So does the promotion Of in
terurban railways in the wheat coun-
try, and the organization of indus
trial concerns. Tie farmers pros
perity is back of it all, and the effect
is to strengthen the faith of the
business man who wants things to re-
main in their present condition SO
far as he is concerned, believing
that he will get larger slice of
prosperity himself than should there
be an upheaval. 1t must be remem-
bered, too, that there is smaller
than in the cities of the East, and
the influence of this class is conse-
Quently less.

CUMMINS ADVISES

Chicago, Feb. 8.-"More power to

Albert B. Cummins of Iowa in an
address before the traffic club here

II will not try to convince the cor.

operating table" declared the sena.
tor, in opening his remarks. 1.-THE

vince them after it is all over they
will be stronger, because H.. undue
strength is the very disease from
which they suffer. But I will try to
convince them that after it is over
they will be better, longer lived and
safer.'
Senator Cummins' topic was "The
Interstate commerce commission

more completely fulfill it's functions u
''The truth is" said the speaker
"The hair trimming act was never
more required than it is at the pres

corporations wear long locks, because
I know we'll that many of them do
not need the attention of a barber,
