THE WEALTHlEsrlN THE WORLD

Governor Fleming told the New
York Central officials yesterday that
I'VE have coal enough to run the in
dustries OF the world and gas enough
to blow UP the internal regions a
pretty big statement but nevertheless
true one. Governor Fleming is not
an idle boaster, and every word he
utters carries the weight of mature
years, clear vision aud Il profound
Judgment based OH most careful OBJ
servation OF lifetime. After return.
Ing few years ago from Il trip abroad
Governor Fleming in speaking before
the Chamber OF Commerce stated that
in all his travels he had not found an.
other country like the Monongahela
Valley region and that no country
upon the face OF the globe could boast
OF as great wealth, acre for acre. as
this very valley, when natural re.
sources and soil conditions were all
taken into consideration. This state
ment has made n lasting Impression
upon the writer and while he has not
had the opportunity to compare this
region with the other countries OF the
world, as Governor Fleming has, he
believes that the governor in making
this statement proclaimed an exact
and uncontrovertable truth. and that
his sincerity In making it carried with
it the conviction OF its correctness TO
every one who heard him make It.

situation. A road coming in over an.
other line naturally would be greatly
handicapped and the public would not
feel that there was any independent
rivalry, or competition for business
under such conditions. and no doub.
the B. & O., under such plan
would prescribe conditions in its con.
tract that would stine competition.
