NEWS FROM COUNTIES JUST
ACROSS THE RIVER IN
WEST VIRGINIA.
FOR HUNTINGTON.

Huntington, w. Va, February 26.
Huntington's enterprising business
men have set on foot two plans for
progress that II carried out. as
they no doubt will be, will result in
a large increase in the manufactur-
ing strength and commercial i'm
portance of the city.
One of these is the securing OF
large natural gas production that
will guarantee TO manufacturers a
fuel supply at minimum cost for
many years. The plan is to pur-
chase gas field some 20 miles
from the city and pipe the product
here. to be furnished plants at n
very low figure. The stock in the
gas company is to be held by ciu-
zens who are deeply interested in
the welfare of the city, and who will
not allow the price of gas to be
raised beyond a proper level.
A meeting of business men was
held at the Frederick Hotel this
morning, and though the attendance
was comparatively small, owing to
the lack of due notice, and owing
further to the fact that it was not
desired to have too many people
present at the initial conference,
$4,000 was subscribed to the cap
ital stock of the proposed company
and the promoters feel like the full
stock subscription is already as
sured.
The second plan is to build belt
line joining the railroads now run
ming into the city, and at the same
time retaining lot of low land
that will be utilized for factory
sites. The proposed belt railway
will run for a considerable distance
along the river front, and the grade
will be used as a dyke to keep the
river from Overlooking a wide strip
Of land extending up and down the
waters edge for about mile The
low land will then be filled in by
means of suction pumps working at
the bottom of the river. When the
work is completed the organization
of business men backing the enter
prise will be in possession of sew,
eral hundred acres of land eligibly
located for manufacturing plants,
and these win be sold at very low
figuros to applicants with approved
proposidUas. Az these locations

to exercise continuous tact, lest her

Let home stand before all other

build a true home! Then from its

this an over-wrought picture? We
think not. What honor can be
greater than to found such home?
What dignity higher than to reign

the ability to speak from public
