The league is fully aware that

the advantage our town has in
the way OF water over any town

our water is unsurpassed. The
Young Mems Club should have
full credit for stirring up and
starting this effort to build "a
dam To store supply OF water

Our County
Agent

MIR. Goss, our county agent, is
IA real booster and ambitious to
see every town in Wiso county
grow and flourish. He wants
each town TO organize indus
trial clubs and arrange to co.
operate in establishing and pro-
noting Industries and manu-
featuring plants. Whilst MIR. Goss
does not have in Wise coun.
ty such an opportunity rs Lee,
Scott and Russell affords, it has
splendid opportunities for
trucking, grazing and fruit
growing.
Those who have been o6serv-
ing closely see that Mr.. Goss
has made very ubstantial pro
gress along these lines, shown
by largely increased products.
Mr.. Goss is recognized IA one
of the most aggressive and ca
pable county agents in the
state and we should ali lend
him our fullest cooperatlvn and
furnish every facility to speed
him in his efforts. The moral
support which has been given
by our Young Mems Club has
spurned him on to renewed eff
forts.

Southern
Terminals

The Southern Railway Com
pany has purchased the site Il;
this place for the terminals and
have paid Sl,5OO for the same
and now find they neci more
ground. Certain interests in the
Gap have got together and prac.
tically agreed on the extra land
needed.
We must meet the Southern
Railway more than half way on
any thing they may want in
our town, because Big Stone
Gap has had one lesson that
Will last long while and the
lesson is doing nice work in
Athis instance.
Mr.. Harrison, president OF the
Southern Railway has promised
that when we get Il substantial
industry III Big Stone Gap he
would move tho depot down
town, but we must also furnish
the right Of way. Now we have
landed the substantial industry
"a five hundred thousand dollar
ono, and the Young Mems Club
took advantage OF the opportu
nifty To get the right of way and
get the Southern depot down
town.
We believe that MIR. Harrison
IS tavoraoly disposed To Big

1t that Henry Ford has plans to
build Il large number of steel
gondoias To be used by the Ford
Motor Company to carry their
own coal from Harlan county to

with MIR. Ford, secured his con.
sent to make IA trip TO Big Stone

MIR. Stratton, of the Southern

the statement that Big Stone
Gap has the most promising fu
ture of any point on the whole
five thousand miles of the Sou
thern Railway lines.
Mr.. Stratton has taken kindly
to our Young Mems Club and
urges that the organization be
kept going strong. This is fur
ther evidence OF the necessity
for more homes in Big Stone

be made 10 interest all our PEG

complish this.
One suggestion il that we
make II convenient for some of
the Southern Railway men to
come here and get IN on the
ground door in choosing the TO-.
cation for their lots to build
homes is meeting witllapproval
and the matter of bonuses tn in
duce the Southern Railway
men to do so has been suggest.
ed. The moment the Southern
gets the money we are assured
of prompt action on the one
and a quarter million lollar
yards because of the absolute
necessity for these facilities in
cutting down cost of trnnspor-
tntion.
Let us stand by the Young
Men 5 Club and throw our town
wide open to these immense op-
portunities. Big Stone Gap is
recognized as the leader of com
mcrcial club effort in this whole
coal and iron field, as also the
real initiative for the whole

supreme effort to arouse enthn-
siastic support in every line of

DeAr- mond was in the ring but little more than a minute but he showed enough in that time 10 prove his class and he has a punch that spells disaster to the man whom it reaches.

PARIS SUBURBAN LINES
 RESUME ELECTRIFYING

PARIS. Aug. 3.-Electrification of the Paris suburban railroad service. planned in 1910 and interrupted by the war, is becoming a fact on the state lines and the program is ex- pected 10 be completed in two years.
 Electric power stations have been eretted at several points and wires have been strung on a considerable part of the lines but the electric To. comotives and other equipment are not yet ready.
 The nearby stations, at first. will be served by the electric trains, and the more distant points with the present steam system. The electrifi- cation is counted upon to relieve the bad congestion on all suburban lines.
