of line from Dante, Va. to E,lkhorn,
West Virginia. Is now actually under

built at probably an average expense
Of probably $4,000 tho mile, worth
while.
We do not think that there is any
doubt that the Chesapeake and Ohio
concern Will nnally absorb tho Clinch-
field and Ohio Road, because that road
could be used b. the Chesapeake and
Ohio In its business to good advantage
The Clinchfcld coal reaches contain
millions Of tons of the most valuable
coal in the country. and there must be
q market for It. and there is now a
readymade market for IT in the Caro-

he an enormous development OF our
commercial possibilities with Panama
and the South American countries
through the port of Charleston.
II is known that the authorities have
been fsnring on this combination for
some time. and we have no doubt that
they Will figure in the way that most
people think The Chesapeake and
