passenger transport has been increased round billion
dollars per year since the government took hold Of the
railroads And that the increase has fallen far short Of
covering the increase the expenditures. as the admitted
deficit Of over 600 last year and of O00
GOO of the first four months of this year attest.
The financial officers Of the railroads confronted by the
intention Of the to return the properties before
the end OF the present calendar year say that the
panies will be IN no condition to assume the burden unless
the government puts the roads in much better condition
than they are at present. and further adjust the rates so
that the roads will be self sustaining There are some
railroad who go the length of saving that even this
will not be enough and that there will have TO be assist

Spelling is more a matter Of usage
than of exact correctness. There is
a common consent that establishes the
order Of letters that go to make up the
spelling OF a word. More especially is
this true in proper names. For in
stance 1t is not known Just how "Ka-
nawha" came to be spelled as 1t Is.
The word is attributed rerlvation from
the name of a tribe of Indians but
when the county Of that name was es-
tablished by the Legislature of Vir-
ginia in 1889 the word was spelled
"Eenhawa" and Daniel Boone writing
two years later, in 1891, spelled 1t
"Con.haw-way" There are other early
records which spelled the name of
those Indians more in an English
fashion and had it "Conoy." That
name was given the Great Kanawha
river some time between 1860 and
1910. Wyman's Map OF the British
Empire published in 1870 called 1t the
Great Conoway" or Woods river"
Thomas Jefferson's map engraved in
France in 1865 had no trace of this
stream. History tells that Col. Abra-
ham Wood was the first white man to
cross the mountains and enter the
New River Valley and, supposing It to
be newly discovered stream, called
1t Woods river. 1t did not retain this
name. James H. Miller of Hinton.
