SOiC blCaSS.
The Blue Ridge Light and Pow
er Co..: has been sold to Pitts
burg Company, the Stanton street
railway property going in the deal.
1t is believed that Stanton is to
be the center of a system of inter-
urban lines, up and down the Val
ley, with possible line to Monte
rev. AS to this contingency the
Daily News of Jan. 26, says:
"In we'll informed Staunton cir
Giles it is assumed that no present
attempt will be made to go to Mon
terey, where as yet there is not
sufficient to tempt electric line In
vestments, but that north and
south Valley system will be undsr-
taken, with Martinsburg probably
one of the stations on the way
into West Virginia.
In that direction lies Pittsburg. "
This attitude toward Highland
does not smack of friendly thought
fulnss and consideration on the
part of Stauntonians. Just when
the new company is planning big
things for the system centering at
Stanton, the representations and
exertions of it's Solons may have
considerable influence in determin-
ing real weighty matters in the flu
ture history and development OF
contiguous territory.
One would naturally expect to
hear of doubts and fears as to the
formidable, mountain barriers in the
way of line westward, but an in
timation that Highland is-too in
significant commercially, !that a
scheme to develop her resources and
give her an outlet, is dlsappoint-
ing to say the least. Whether her
position will have any bearing on
the situation or not, Staunton's
natural and logical attitude would
be such as to insist on the new
company looking westward with a
view to cemeting the relations OF
the two counties and giving Staun-
ton a complete monopoly of the.
Highland trade.
Highlands pride and confidence
are not born of self-glorifcation.
The best evidence of her sanity and
modesty is that she has steered
clear of vanity in the. face of uni,
versal and extravigant praise at
the hands of hundreds Of visitors.
Her claim to pre-eminence along
several lines is plainly justifable.
To urge these claims is the duty
of every citizen and every friend.
Staunton cannot have any doubt
as to the wisdom or outcome of a
scheme looking to the development
of this isolated section, much of
the wealth of which remains un-
touched-as it came from the Crea-
tors hand-and, haying so long
enioved the lions share of our
trade, she can, with the best grace,
bend her energies and lend hand
in strengthening the bonds that
now unite US. II.
The fact that branch of the
new system to Monterey would
necessarily traverse Is miles OF her
own county makes the duty doubly
obligatory and logical,
The present traffic of Highland
and West Augusta is perhaps I'M
derestimated, and; while of little
consequence as a prime induce
ment to a line of road, coupled
with the inevitable business to be
created, is worthy of consideration.

mixed up in the Dreyfus affair.
