Many Leading Railroad Off
Gals Attend at Brilliant
Function.


GRAFTON, April 1s.-The most au-
spicious social event in the history OF
Grafton was the reception and ban
quet rendered by Colonel John ]. Nc
Graw last night to President Daniel
willard, Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, and the company's
executive officers at the new Hotel
Willard. The event also marked the
formal opening of the handsome new
hostelry which was brown open to
the public more than a week ago.
Elegance prevailed in all the an.
pointments, the spacious dining hall
was aglow with brilliant lights, pro-
fusions of flowers, and an array OF
sparkling table ware, while inspiring
music from a specially augmented
orchestra added to the gaiety of the
affair. The floral decorations were
pronounced the most elaborate ever
seen in this part of the state.
Covers were laid for 200 and bril-
liancy and humor abounded in the
6oasts of the evening.
A. NJ. Long, Of Baltimore, the arch.-
tect who designed the Willard and
the new passenger station opened
here last summer was also present.
Upon the arrival of the party of rail-
road officials from the east, they were
met at the station by a band which
enliyened the occasion until the pub.

President Willard reviewed the
history of his railroad and then spoke
in part as follows:
At the present time the railroad
mileage in the United States is in
excess of 245,OOO miles, or about
forty per cent Of the entire mileage
of the world. The net capitalization
of the American railways as they
are today is something over $15,-
O00,O0O,OOO. The annual earnings
amount to more than s2,5OO,OOO,-
900 and over 100000 men are
employed.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
at the presentS time, is. in round
numbers, $500 miles in length; It
earns ssO,OOO,OOO per year, and 1T

has over 10000 men in its employ.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has 1912 miles in the
state Of West Virginia, or moro than
thirty-two per cent of the entire
railroad mileage IN the state. It
has over $4,000 men in it's employ In
the state Of West Virginia, and its
annual pay roll on that account ex-
eeeds $s,5OO.OOO. In Grafton alone
are located over 1000 of its en-
ployees, including train and engine
men, and its annual pay roll IN that
city exceeds $1,5oO.OO In addition

the company purchases in this state,

more than 100000 per annum.,
During the hast two years over ST.
100000 has been spent for i'm
pfovements upon it's Zines located in
this state, and there are now under

mention these figures or the purpose
of showing the magnitude of the

erations in your state, and the init

account exist between the company,
the state and It's industries. IN
fortunately, during the last ten or
fifteen years the intimate relation
above suggested. has not existed at.
all times between the railroads, as a
whole, and the people.
Something like ten years ago, a
growing feeling of bitterness
against the railroads seemed to Gull
inmate in a period of great legisla-
tive activity. More than 1900 laws
have been enacted during the last
five years in the various states and
by the federal government, all in
tended in some way to regulate or
control the railroads, and the effect
has been reflected in greatly reduced
expenditures by the railroads. during
that period for equipment and i'm
provements, and it is the belief or
many that railroad development has
fallen short Of Industrial develop
ment during the same period, or
since 1907, and it is feared that
when the next period Of business
activity comes upon us, the carriers
win be found quite unable to meet
the demands for transportation. The
bitterness 6f the feeling which re-
suited in such drastic legislation
was due, dnino small degree, to
faults committed by the carriers
themselves. 1t may be stated as a
fact, however, that most, If not all.
OF the things originally complained
of have now. been corrected; but the
reform movement, which was started
for the purpose of correcting recog-I
nized evils, has been carried SO far
as to seriously retard the necessary
development of the railroads, and
thereby jeopardize Industrial devel-
opment as we'll. There is reason
now to believe that the attitude Of
hostility above referred to, has been

New York, Oct. 24.-Reports of
a continued active demand for spot
cotton in the South, apprehensions of
cold weather in the belt, and a dispo-
sition on the part Of some recent sell
ers to cover for over the weekend.
or the ginning figures expected at the
opening tomorrow, caused quite a
sharp advance in the cotton market
today, with prices making new high
ground for the movement Realizing
became active in the last half hour
however, and several points of the i'm
provement were lost, the close being
barely steady, although last prices
still showed a net gain Of to 10
points.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance Of lac points on the steady
showing Of cables and overnight buy
ing orders. Rather favorable view Of
the earlier weather reports, which in
dicated higher temperatures in the
western belt and only light frosts east
or the river may have accounted for
some irregularity after the CALL but
reactions were limited. and the mar
ket soon developed renewed firmness.
The official forecast for further frost
in the eastern belt tonight and cold
er weather in the West, combined
with the fact that later detailed wea-
ther advices showed lower tempera-
lures last night than suggested by
early reports, helped the advance,
while reports Of a continued active
trade demand were considered quite
as important factor.
The market gradually worked high
er and during the middle Of the af-
ternoon became more active and some
what excited on furry Of covering
for over the ginning report. A few
stop loss orders were uncovered above
1850 for December and the market
sold up to 1866 for that position, or
about II points net higher. Profit
taking checked the advance at this
level and the close was CAT points off
from the best on active deliveries.
Cotton futures closed barely steady.
