coal fields in KentucEy owned and
operated by the Consolidation and
the Elk Horn Fuel Companies We're
revelation to the visitors. as was
also the excellent organization the
local company has erected for It's
work in these fields
Among the guests were Carl h
Cray. president OF r the western
MARYLAND railroad: Frederick T.
Gates and Edgar L.-Marston directors
in the same COMPANY The last two,
besides being officially connected
with the Western Maryland railway,
are also regarded as representatives
OF John D. Rockefeller IN the indus
trial business ventures in which he
invests his money.
TIE trip was taken to give them
the opportunity OF seeing for them
selves and perhaps reporting directly
to ME-. Rockefeller what IS the phys
ical condition. Of the Consolidation
Coal Company and what are its pros
poets for future development II
was distinctly said by those who
made the trip, both from the stand
point of the coal company and rait-
road. that there was no railroad
proposition concerned, but that the
trip was taken solely to give the New
York bankers chance to study the
coal possibilities Of the local com
pany. especially in the immense ter
ritory which It is developing IN the

Beginning next month, the new
system will be introduced on routes
comprising some five hundred miles
in Georgia, Florida. Louisiana.
Oklahoma. Mississippi, and Texas.
If results are what they are expect

Therefore. keep up the good
