B. 8 0. R. R. TO
BUILD COAL LINE
GREAT KENTUCKY DE-
vELoPMENT TO FOLLOW CON-
sTRucTloN ON BEAVER CREEK.

The Baltimore AMI Ohio Railroad
Company proposes 10 construct ar
other coal railroad in kenTicky. 1t
has acquired the charter rights OF the
Long Fork Railroad Company. which
owns location on the left fork Of
Beaver creek, n stream about 10 miles
south OF PresrCnburg. Ky. and the
railroad. when completed, will cSn-
rect with the Chf sapcake and Ohio
Railway, as does the sandy Valley ani
Elkhorn Railroad. which the Balti-
more and Ohio constructed year or
SO ago to reach the Kentucky fields
Of the Consolidation Coal Company.
There will be about 100000 acres
OF coal lands owned liy the Elkho"I
Fuel Company. which will be dcvel-
cped as the result of the construction
o! this newly.prOojected line, as well
as from 5000 to 5000 acres belonging
to the Milwaukee Coal and Gas Com
rany. G. w. Watson Is president Of
the Elkhorn Fuel Company. and the
vice presidents include J. c. C. Mayo
and other prominent coal men. J. W
NJ. Stewart is secretary. and head.
quarters are at Ashland, Ky.
II is stated by the railroad com.
pany that no date has yet been decid
cd li9on' for starting construction OF
the proposed line.
ANrepott from Louisa. KY, says
that such road will be 2S miles long,
beginning at the mouth of Beaver
creek. which will be followed six miles
&c the town OF Alpharetta. and going
thence up the left fork into a region
where some remarkable coal develop
ments are expected. The building OF
this line. ii is further said. will give
the Baltimore and Ohio two roads
which will practically encircle one nG
the richest coal fields in Kentucky,
and about 100000 acres In extent,
These two roads, 1t is estimated, will
soon be handling a coal output OF s..
100000 tons annually.
The Baltimore and Ohio. according
tc reports from that territory. is eX.
pected to eventually build its own line
f,om the Elkhorn fields tc connect
with its system, although an arrange
rncnt now prevails under which the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway takes
the coal from Shelby. Ky. to the d.
Il 0.'s main line.
A letter TO the Manufacturers Rec.
ord says that 20mile line will also
be constructed into the mines of the
Elkhorn Fuel Company from tho
Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company's Lexington and Eastern
division by way of 3ocknouse creek,
starting near Indian Bottom, in Let.
cher county, Kentucky. The railroad
company Is now making preliminary
surveys. but no further work has
been decided rpon. Meanwhile the
Chesapeake and Ohio ~way. as
heretofore published. is building its
branch up Beaver Greek valley. but
on the side OF the stream opposite to
tho B.,& o. route.

PLANS FOR CELEBRATING
STATE SEMI CENTENNIAL

iand the subcommittee which the
above mentioned committee will name
The day for Fairmont will be Il big
cne. and as 1t is legal holiday, It is
Eow thought that all stores and busi
ness houses will be closed.
The speech OF Governor Hatfield,
which he will deliver in Wheeling, will
be read in all or the school houses, or
at some other public place. In every
town In the State. Some person will
be decided upon to read the speech in
FaiTmont. and It will be read at the
same time the governor is delivering
the original speech in Wheeling.
The Commission at first had plans
IN mind whereby the speech as deliv,
cred by the Governor in Wheeling
could be transmitted by phone and by
a huge megaphone attachment TO all
of the towns in the State. but this ideq
was not found to be practicable. and
was the idea of sending out the speech
for reading by orators all over the
State was started instead.
Fairmonters should look forward 10
and prepare to take part in a splendid
celebration on the 10th OF this month.
especially in view OF the fact that Fair.
mont was the home OF Governor Pier.
ront the war governor when West Vir.
eiuia became Stale.
