YORKTOWN
TO THE FRONT,
Big Deal Again
Reported,

Last Thursdays Hampton Moni-
tor has the following very interesting
story. that IS. Il !, proves to be true:
An Authentic report reached here
this afternoon that the president Of
the Fall River (Mass.) Ship Build
ing Company had purchased the
Yorktown Cement Plant.
The first news came in a long
distance message to a local promoter
saying that the news had been put
on the bulletin board of a Richmond
afternoon paper.
Those on the inside have been
looking for such an announcement
and il IS declared to be of consider
able importance.
Il makes a tail road to York
town practically certain. Specula-
ticn IS now rife as to which Of the
three proposed roads will be the
hrst to enter Yorktown: the Hamp-
ton-Yorktown. Newport News, or
the Chesapeake and Ohio.
The first road is being projected
bu Judge Sidney J. Dudley. he
said this afternoon he had known o.
the proposed deal for some time
and It's becoming public was virtually
consumation- Asked as TO what
proposed railway the deal would
likely favor q six and half mile spur
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio from
Lee Hall. This would naturally
preclude the other roads.
Tuesdays Newport News Daily
Press prints a statement from Presi-
dent George w. Stevens, of the
