BIG TUNNEL
is PLANNED
BY BIO. ROAD
AS Well as a New Branch
from Somerset to
Keyser.

BAGlrIAfORils, Jan. ga new tun-
mel two miles or more in length under
the present Sand Patch tunnel and a
new branch line across the country
from Somerset to a point near Key
stone, with large yards at Somerset
is the latest schedule of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company to Improve
its line down over the mountain and
get oway from the dangerous tunnel
now in use that has been condemned
for these many years, as well as de-
velop the coal fields OF this section of
the county and get the output Of the
workings to seaboard to best possible
advantage.
This Information is from reliable
SOURCE and comes from authority that
is in opposition to know what is being
considered by,the officials of the COM
many. The scheme is along tho lines
OF President WIZARDS policy of one
good main line rather tn Il maintain
Ing two lines, down, over the mountain
as would be the. case were another
route taken. ssS via. Downey or by
tunneltng ont by the shaft. MS had
.heen considkred on several occasions.
The new fGnnel is to he bored di-
reetly under the present Sand Patch
tunnel starting at a point near Key
stone and coming out at the eastern
end at a considerable distance down
the mountain. This would cut down
the grade quite good deal on either
side of the mountain and when com
plcted would solve the problem that
has been puzzing the b. & O. people
for number Of years. The boring OF
the new tunnel would not In the least
interfere with traffic through the
present hole in the sround, as the
workings would be so far below as
not to disturb the running OF trains.
The idea of going down deeper IS to
get below the quicksand formation
that has made SO much trouble I'M
Sand Patch tunnel ofall the schemes

with favor rs the present officials

Another scheme being considered

section Of the county from Somerset

for which are already being developed.

up and sent right through to Cnmber-

sions from local Democrats as well
as those from the belt in the south
ern end of the state where Col. VI.
e Chiffon Is prominently the po-
litieal power, and where he had hon
EST and unquesttoned support for
the Senate of the delegates elected
on the Democratic ticket, indicate
that these party men are displeased
with the fact they were required. or
even asked, to lend their undivided
support to the Watson candidacy.
They say Col. Chiffon had easy
sailing I'll by himself and that they
would have stuck to him as a man.
but they do not believe the delegates
pledged to him should have been re-
CURED to vote for Watson when they
had other preferences.
One instance was brought to no
tlce the night of the caucus when
one of the delegates who has for
many years been an ardent sup
porter OF Chiffon, said this is a
bitter pill for me. this thing of voting
flor Watson, and we should not have
been asked to go any further than
to support our own man. We were
not elected with the understanding
that there would be a combination
and that we would be required to
support man we never: even heard
of before this senatorial campaign
was begun"
Another Democrat, but not mem
Der Of the legislature, said that
Clarence Watson is not even known
by sight to one-fiftieth of the people
on Fairmont; that while he has eS-
tensive interests in this state, lie mas
devoted his time to those in other
states in preference to those in West
Virginia.
There is general admission among
the Democrats that Chiffon imposed
on those loyal friends OF his when
he demanded their support for Wat
son, who is said to have started into
the fight with but one delegate, C..
L. Shaver, of Marion county, and
$4,000 in cash. He would have
got but little support in the south
ern end of the state through me IN
tuence Of MIR. Shaver.
Mr.. Watson kept in the back
ground as much as possible for sew
eral weeks and, until after the cleo
ton was but little known as sena-
torial. possibility. The greater part
of the $4,000, or possibly little
more; watch was contributed for
campaign PURPOSES in this end Of
The state, was partially distributed
in Braxton, Nicholas and Webster
counties. >one assignment of money
received here was $4,000 in cur
rency.
The general assumption is that
Col. Chiffon did not have enough
money with which to carry on I'D
eral campaign and only for that rea-
son combined with Watson and thus
overthrow his old political enemy,
John T. McGraw, although recogniz-
ing that the Taylor county mans
election together with his own,
would be generally satisfactory to
his party and detrIment to Repub-
licsrt chances in the next campaign.
