tiger OF surprising audacity has been
levyfng shis tribute of blood in tle
Canaan district OF Madras. For three
years II has created a reign of ter

propriated' this Sum
to be Spent in
Bluefield,
THE AMOUNT MAY Be DOUBLED
Superintedent johnson Says
CompapyIis Thinking OF
S,ich d Move.
YC--

Ii was learned today from an un-
questionable source that the Norfolk
and Western has Appropriated 100000
for repairs and remodeiing the Blue
field round house. and It is probable
the appropriation win be doubled be-
fore the work is completed
The present round louse is TOO
small for the Increased traffic and
accommodations FOR the workman.
This has greatly handicapped the
company in doing repair work is the
opinion of many railroad men. 1t
claimed that many of the men previ-
ously employed at the. round house
as machinists have lcft because oil
the wretched condition OF the place.
With a remodeled round house. with
all the latest equipment, Il is claimed
the company could get the best ma
chinists in the country That the
round house IS too small, is evinced
by the fact that over two-thirds OF
the engines stand out on the yards,
every day materially affecting the
freight movement
1t is understood tina. new turn
table will be Installed while the re-
modelling is being done, the present
table being too small
When asked the direct question in
regard 10 the report, George p.
Johnson. general superintendent OF
the Pocahontas division stated it was
true that the company was thinking
of appropriatlng large sum of
money for the Improvement OF the
Bluefield round house bit stasted It
had not been up before the board OF
directors recently. He also stated the
matter would likely come up before
the board at the next meeting. AL
though Mr. Johnson did not say so
1t is believed by many that the board
will arrange for the appropriation.
In addition to the proposed i'm
provements 10 the round house. II
was learned that The company has
sent out letters TO contractors, ask
ing for bids on numerous improve
ments on The Pocahontas division.
The letter asked for bids on the
double tracking Of the main line be-
tween Vivian and Huger. distance
OF about six miles, also the double
tracking from Wyoming city to De
Won, a distance Of about sixteen
miles.
The biggest job Will be- the tnn-
neling Of about 400 feet on the Dry
Fork branch that IS being extended.
and which will tap the Clinch Val
