Few states are making the rapid
progress in railroad construction that
West Virginia is making. During the
year which is now rapidly drawing to
q close 10 miles OF trackage was con-
.structed, not including shor, branch
lines and switches. Durlng tie coming
year it is estimated that more than
III miles Will he constructed which
viii open up q rich coal section in the
southern and southeast, N section of
the state.
One of the most n6t'.hle pieces IL
werk accomplished during the year
of 1910 was the building of the VIM
ston-saleAn soe,hbonnd Railway from
Wtnston-Salem "a W;n.ssboro, n. c.,
thus forming l;nG between the Nor
folk & Western and the Atlantic
Coast Line for interchange of bust
ness, but which win carry tremen-
dous coal tonnage from this state

thus giving West Virginia n new OUT

Western has constructed several
branch lines in the southern section
Of the stare, as has the vtrginian.
Both roadsiare developing a rich coal
and timber land in this section.
When the Baltimore and Ohio road
completes its improvements in this
vicinity it will secure new route to
the Great Lakes, which will have

Under the able leadership OF Cen
eral C. D. Elliott. the West Virginia
National Guard has made rapid i'd
vancement and the troops of this
state are considered among the best
drilled soldiers outside of the United
States regulars. Reports from the
regular army officers who have In
spected the West Virginia troops are
to the effect that the troops of this
state rank very high.
Companies Of the guard have been
organized throughout the state in such
"a manner that troops can be at the
scene OF any trouble in less than
twelve hours after the governor has
called them out. Regular drill prac-
tIce is held by the captains of each
company each month and the men
are always in the pink of condition.
In the rifle range Journeys the West
Virginia troops have always boen
among the leading marksmen who
have carried on the prizes offered by
the government.
Whlle 1t is yet q little early prep
.arations are being made by the West
Virginia troops for The annual en-
campment at Gettysburg, next sum
mer. The troops will spend several
weeks camping on the historic old
battle ground, which was the scene
of one Of the bloodiest fights OF the
Civil war. Each summer the Ma
tional Guard from all the eastern
states hold theiQ encampment ON this
old battle field and are inspe, cd and
coached by the regular army Cheers.
During the inspection last year the
regular officers paid a high tribute TO
General Elliott, and his soldiers. In
all probabilities one or two companies
OF militia will be organized next sum-
hier in this state. Captain Bowers, Of
Moandsvllle, is making an effort to
have company organized in that city
and has secured enough volunteers
The company will be sworn in as soon
assttie governor approvesiof 1t.

PRICES OF COTTON
 MAKE SMALL GAINS After Some Irregularity the
 Market Firms Up BULL SUPPORT IS GOOD Failure of Bank Hns Very Little Effect Upon Prices, Which Recover
 Rapidly After Early
 Weakness
BULL SUPPORT IS GOOD

New York, January 7.-The failure of a local trust company caused a little ner- vousness and irregularity during today's early trading in the cotton market, but prices soon fr1ned up and the close was steady at a net gain of 4d7 points.
 ! The opening was steady at a decline of |2 points on February, but generally 2 to 5 points higher in response to relatively steady Liverpool cables, large English spot sales, the favorable weekend figures and more encouraging reviews of the do- mestic dry goods situation.
 The failure of the banking institution announced at the opening appeared to have been in some measure anticipated, but as the company had been an official depositor of the New York Cotton Ex- change there was some Wall street selling and local bear pressure. based presumably on an idea that the suspension might cause liquidation. Nothing of the kind developed, however. and after the active months had sold off to net loss of about 2Q3 points tho market f1rmed up on strength In New Orleans. covering and bull support.
 Realizing checked the advance at a net advance of about to points, and there were slight reactions in the later trading, but last prices were only or points off from the top on active positions. It was reported after the close that additional ocean freight room had been engaged for the shipment of 10000 bales from the New York stock during January. chiefly to the continent, making total engagements so far reported for January of 29,o00 baels.
 The advance In New Orleans was att tributed to covering of shorts for over the holiday on Monday and the census report at the opening on Tuesday morning, but there were also rumors of strong bull clique operating In May delivery in the southern market. The steadiness of Liver pool was attributed to an active trade de- mand inspired by bullish weekend figures and the further recent reductions in esti- mates of the East Indian crop.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today 2, ,952 bales, against 49,9S2 last week and 1922 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 9095 bales, against 1856 last year. New York Cotton Futures.

QUEEN MAUD IS
 BEING CRITICISED

Copenhagen, January 7.-(Special.)-
 tempest in a teapot has been caused
 in Norway by Queen Maud. Her maj
 esty, who Is devotedly attached to her
 7-year-old son, Prince Olaf, in order to
 help a local charity issues beauti- fully decorated Christmas carol illus trated with pictures of the little prince. While the Norwegians are very fond of the baby prince. they are also very religious and some of the pictures in connection with the carol come pretty near the line of being sacriligious to
 their minds, placing the prince on the
 plane of the Divine Child whose birth day is celebrated on Christmas. Hence the action of the queen Is being se- verely criticised in some quarters. Much interest is felt in a remarkable law suit which Is set for trial here next week. Among the witnesses sum-
 moned are their majesties the Dowager
 Queen Sophia of Sweden and Queen
 Louise of Denmark, who was born
 Swedish princess. and Prince Carl and
 Eugene. That any of these royal per-
 sonages will appear in court Is not
 believed.
 The plaintiffs are the heirs of Hilga
 de la Brash, who died in 1885. In her will she made this remarkable dec laration:
 My parents were hlnS 1uStdFuS "
 or Sweden and his consort, Princess
 Frederickke of Baden. That this Is
 true can be proved by four letters which I deposited with the then Grown
 Prince Oscar. the late King of Swe-
 den."
 It Is for the purpose of proving the
 existence and contents of these letters
 that the royal witnesses are called If the case comes to trial some very
 interesting developments are expect
 ed whether the queens and princes tes- tify or not. It Is rgarded as possible, however. that the case will be settled out of court.
 The King of Denmark has been staying for a week at Vienna on pri- vate business in strict incognito, and he has paid a visit to the Duke and
 Duchess of Cumberland at their coun- try seat near Gmunden. King Fred erick may very likely visit Frankfort and Paris on his way back to Copen- hagen. Ills majesty travels as Count Kromberg, and he is attended by one equerry only. s5s Prince Waldemar of Denmark, young est brother of Queen Alexandra, Is go- ing to England sh ortly on a visit to her majesty at Sandringham hall. and
 will probably be accompanied by his daughter. Princess Margrethe. Prince waldemar's children will inherit large ly from their grandfather. the Due de Chartres. M

WHEAT DECLINES ON
 GENERAL SELLING Resisting Orders Prevent Any Serious Break FIRMNESS AT THE CLOSE Bullish Advices Regarding the Argen- tine Crop Cause Advance in Corn. Oats Close Higher md
 Provisions Irregular
 
FIRMNESS AT THE CLOSE

Chicago, January 7.-Unfavorable finan- cial news from the east led to some un- loading today in the wheat pit here, and the market closed Ac lower to hc higher than last night An advance of a shade to 1sc was the final record for corn. Oats were up sGAc to A@ssc. and provisions showed 1oc decline to 71sc added cost. : Moderate resisting orders to. sustain May wheat at $1o proved sufficient to prevent any severe break. There was not a great deal of general selling pressure, although one of the larger professional specu1ators threw overheard a good sized holding. Comparative strength of stocks had an assuring effect. Large offerings at Liverpool from Australia and the Arr genuine were offset more or less by the fact that primary receipts in this coun- try during the last week had been small CT by half than year ago. Nevertheless a number of interior mills which have had wheat in store were reported as selling it out freely today. In addition, western farmers were said to be heavy sellers of stored wheat in the country. As the market approached the close, however, the tone became firm, being influenced by a rumor that 3O0,0O0 bushels in one lot here had been ordered loaded out for shipment. The range for May was 99Mc9 s1 to $1.oo1s, with the latest quotations 1sQ Ac down at $f.0oA01. .0O1a.
 Bullish advices regarding the Argentine crop helped corn. Moreover, rural sales on overnight bids were light. Drought and locusts formed the burden of com plaint from Argentina and upheld prices notwithstanding that fully 100000 bush els of cash corn were held in the pit dur ing the session. May fluctuated from 49A @49ssc and finished Bc up at 49a4c The cash market was steady; No. yell low closed at 46N@47c.
 Local spectators bought oats on a large scale, because of the strength of corn. High and low prices for May were 34a4c and 34asc. with latest figures s@Ac up at 34%c.
 Realizing of profits in provisions checked rising tendency, ascribed to ad- vancing quotations for hogs. In the end pork was 71sc dearer than last night; lard had gained 211c to Dc, and ribs varied from 10c decline to an upward slant of TIC.
