OWN
RIGHT OF WAY
IN BIG STONE GAP
Many People Believe Gap
Refused to Let Railroads
Come Into the Town
Both Roads Own Right Of
Way Through Gap

There is n popular idea in Wise
county that Big Stone Gap did not
want the railroads to come into the
town and refused both the Southern
and L. Il N. the right OF way. That
is the story which goes the rounds
and is the story which majority of
the people believe. The ancient
dummy line is said to have been the
cause Of the railroads passing us by.
here are the facts: Both the l..
& n. and Southern Railroads own
right of ways through the heart OF
Big Stone. They have owned them
since 1888. In January of 1889 the
Southern started To bring the road
into town but quit when they reach
ed the river. The l.. & N. never
started in. The grade on either
right of way is such that trains would
have to back out after coming in.
When the historic boom fell and
the dream of Big Stone flowing into
a little old New York ended the more
practical directors of the roads for
got the Gap. In spite of the incess-
ent boosting of Booster William
Gibbs contts they stin forget us.
Now and then Il depot drive" is
started to put union depot in Plat
3. About 600 feet north of the East
9TH street bridge the Southern and
l.. & n. own enough land To build n
depot. This sight was originally
bought for that purpose. and is still
owned by the railroads.
Some day when Booster Coutts'
dreams come true union depot will
rise on the spot. Until then the folks
can keep on thinking that "tha Gap
was too high toned to want rail-
road and kept it out"

Baruch Asked
To "Rule" Stage
Financier Is Urged to Become
''The Will Hays of Ameri-
can Speakies."

NEW YORK. May S.-Bernard NJ
Baruch, international financier and
former chairman of the War In
dustries Board. has been asked to
become the Judge Landis of the
American drama, the Will Hays OF
the "speakies."
John Golden. the New York pro-
ducer, proposed Baruch for the po-
sition of disinterested director, a
new post which it is purposed to
create in the board of the Produc-
ing Managers Association, which
includes in its membership nearly
all the New York producers. Baruch
is seriously considering acceptance,
according to statement from
Golden.
The proposal to elect a non-the-
atrical man to the P. NJ. A. board
was advised as a possible solution
of the troubles which the pro-
ducers have had with certain re-
formers purporting to voice the
opinion of the public. The scope of
the directors powers will not be
defined until later. if at all.
