examined the pump and found nothing
wrong, turned on the gauge and set out
for tour of inspection.
He had not gone Tar when Cows

citizens and women's organizations with

testimony of the charge that the defeat

PUSHING WORK
ON EXTENSION
Especial 10 The TRANSPORTATION !

Bristol, Va. July 1S.-Work is going
forward steadily on the extension of
the Carolina. Clinchfield and Ohio
Railway extension from Dante In Rus
sell County. Va, through the noun
tains to Elkhorn, KY, where the road
is to connect with the Chesapeake and
Ohio This extension VIII make the
"Clinchield" one of the most important
roads in the South, az it will then
have an outlet for the West and
Northwest over important lines. The
sum of S5.o00.00o was appropriated for
this work, but SO difficult is the route
that 1t is doubtful IL the fifty miles
can be built for that sum. The long
est tunnel is In excess of 5000 feet
from end to end. and is in the main
through a body of solid stone. So
long is this tunnel that it cannot be
completed before the end Of another
twelve months.
1t is characteristic of the Carolina,
Clinchheld and Ohio that instead of
following the valleys, 1t has scaled
the mountain heights and 1t is said
that while the construction has been
much more expensive than any ordi-
nary railroad work, a grade has been
gained that will enable the company
to haul much longer trains than il is
possible to haul over valley roads
Over that portion Of this company's
line now in operation trains Of from
20 TO 100 loaded coal cars are hauled.
