been secured for the occasion. The
barbecue of a $500, blooded pig will
be a feature of the occasion. Other
refreshments will be served on the
ground. and brass band will furnish
music for the occasion.
The management points out that If
the Norfolk * estern should decide to
do what it appears TO do in Roanoke
to prevent overtime, and have the
hostlers bring out the engines and
couple them TO the trains, residence
in the East End will be convenient
for enginemen, since they can leave
their engines and catch them again

course applies only TO those running

time which will work a rapid growth,
viz. should another railroad be con-
structed TO the city, or should a troll
ley line be constructed to the coal
fields, or blast furnaces and roller
mills be erected, and ether good
things. II Is O fact, but not generally
known, that the iron ore beds tribu-
tary to Bluefield are as persistent and
extensive as the coal fields. II was
the iron interests that attracted the
writer to this country more than the
coal industry, and since branch lines
have recently been constructed TO
these immense iron ore beds OF the
best quality, 1t follows that the iron
boom for this locality cannot be put
off any longer. and we predict that
as soon as tn iron industry comes out
from under the present depression
and prices get better, that the Blue
field district VIII come rapidly to the
front as an iron producing center.
1t can be truly said that we have
one of the best hotels to be found at
any place between Bluefeld and Nor
folk, ana there are other hotel facil,-
ties in the city OF Bluefield and so
many that within the past year hotel
accommodations have increased prac-
tically ten fold, and these hotels, to-
gether with the most splendid sum-
mer climate makes IL possible to DO

EVERYBODY INVITED TO
COME TO TIE BIG SALE

Bluedeld, the queen city Of the
south She has been styled the metro
polls OF the great Pocahontas Flat
Top Coal Fields, which fields have
been supplemented by other coal
fields located on the Clinch
Valley Railroad, and between the
Pocahontas fields and the Ohio river
She is destined TO remain the metro
polls during the next forty years The
city has been extensively written up
by the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company's advertising department
and by the chamber OF commerce OF
the city of Bluefield, all of whom have
pamphlets and copies of speeches 20
distribute on application TO interested
parties, therefore, 1t is not necessary
TO mention in this column i'm detail
all the advantages to be secured by
location in Bluefield. The natural
resources and the transportation ia
cilities in and about Bluefeld have
caused a rapid growth i'm the past,
and the present population has been
produced by past conditions caused
I'm a measure by the transportation
Of coal and coke through and from
the vicinity OF Bluefeld When you
consider the great possibility Of this
coal and coke transportation doubling
within the short period OF three years
IL is possible TO hgurs and predict
the phenomenal growth to come
about. II Is true there are some
croakers i'm Bluefield, the same as In
other towns, and must say that
there was some crOaking going on the
first day thes writer looked through
the town some twenty years ago
There we're citizens living here at
that time exclaiming that that town
could not grow any more, and gave
their imaginary reasons, some of
whom sold out their property 20 re-
gret it later. and each and every
one who has moved away from Blue
Geld TO make investments has made
a serious mistake None have ever
lost any money In Bluefield real es-
tate, but many have found the owning
and controlling OF Bluefeld real es-
tate TO be a remunerative business
Dwelling houses are always In de-
mand. Carpenters and small invest
eTs who buy lots and construct houses
on them and sell them on the Install
ment plan are getting good returns
on their labor and capital so invested.
There Is constant demand for this
class Of property, and 70 Is possible
for prospective investors TO buy lots
at an auction sale in the cast end Of
Bluefeld, on the south side OF Prince
ton avenue, on the 18th day OF Octo-

the Improvement In business. The
various Wholesale interests are re-
porting good trade, and retail people
estimate that their trade has increas-
ed at least thirty-three per cent IN
September over August.
Remember the date OF sale Oct.
18th, 1910 and come to Bluefield. We
will have a lot sale at the rate OF one
lot per minute, barbecue and fur
nish good music for the occasion.
II is feasible for many people TO

the river, as they keep the main cur
rent in one portion Of the river bed,
preserving a deep channel where sand
bars cannot collect because the move
ment Of the water is too strong. The
government has been constructing
these wing dams to a greater or less
extent during the past thirty years,
and has spent about $1O.oOo,OOo on
such work including the dredging out
Of sand bars. BY six foot channel
the engineers do not merely mean one
that has an average depth of feet.
It is to be at least & feet below the low
water mark everywhere during the en-

require about twice as many wing
dams as there are now between ST.
Paul and Winona and about three
times the present number between Wi
mona and the Missouri river.

Big Meeting of Upper Missis-
sippi River Association in
st. Paul Next Week.
WILL COST 20 MILLIONS
PROMINENT LEADERS IN CON-
cREes WILL BE PRESENT TO
DISCUSS GIANT PROJECT WITH
MINNESOTA CAPITALISTS.

st. Paul, Mimi, July S-With the
hope of ultimately getting the chan
mel of the Mississippi deepened to the
Gulf Of Mexico. the Upper Mississippi
River Improvement association will
meet in st. Paul July 1918 and dis
cuss plans for lettering the big
Father of Waters" from St. Paul to
the mouth of the Missouri, just north
Of St. Louis. Champ Clark, minority
leader in the national house of repre-
sentatives. will head a delegation of
congressman and senators who will at
tend the meeting and it is possible
that Uncle Joe" Cannon may also at
tend.
The rivers and harbors bill passed
by the recent congress appropriated
$500 600 for the improvement of the
Upper Mississippi, and from the sun
dry civil act there will be another
$500 900, making 81 100000 in all
available for the upper part of the
stream. Even the million dollar mark
must be considerably exceeded, how
ever, II the project of the corps of Un-
tied States engineers, for a six foot
channel, free Of sand bars and pro-
tected by wing dams is to be finished
within the next twelve years. The
present congress in passing the river
and harbor bill has given its indorse-
ment to that project, though it left to
future sessions the appropriation OF
most of the money.
viii Cost $40, ooo, 900.
Four years ago this project was TAX
en- up and 1t is estimated that such a
channel as the United States engineers
/ want will require all told, $4,000. 600
With the 100000 that has been ap-
propriated. to be expended this year
the engineers will have had $500,
coo for the project, leaving $17,5OO.
600 to be obtained from future con
crosses.
Wing dams, however, are no new
thing on the Upper Mississippi
though the six foot channel project, a
comparatively new enterprise, could
not possibly be carried out without
such dams. Most of the summer river
tourists who see these great piles Of
stone, extending in parallel lines al
most out to the middle of the river
giving with the shores to which they
extend. forms like huge combs, the
dams representing the teeth, do not
know that these wing dams are abso
lutely necessary to the navigation OF
