TRAIL MARK ERS.

Plans 10 bring out the historical al
Significance Of the Midland trail
though West Virginia are being
made by the scenic comJnittce Of
the West Virginia section Of the
National Midland Trail Association,
according to DR.. w p Black. Of
Charleston, who was recently ap-
pointed chairman Of the committee
by DR.. r. r. Elmorc, president of
the eastern division.
"Thc Midland Trail" DR.. Black
said in outlining some of the things
regarding the trail that will be
brought to the attention of the pub
lie, Follows Il portion of the route
of tire old Kanawha and James
River turnpike in West Virginia.
This turnpike was first built in the
later part of the nineteenth century
and was the route which Meriweth-
er Lewis took to effect his connec-
ton with Roger Clark resulted in
the Northwest expedition. Washing
ton followed this route as a young
surveyor to reach the Ohio. Daniel
Boone traversed it to reach Ken
lucky.
DR.. Black recently appointed the
members of his committee, one in
each county along the trail. and he
has sent them notices apprising
them of the purpose and aims Of
the committee which is to take
charge of the work of developing,
beautifyins and preserving the
- l.
route Of the great ancient highway
which has so rich and important his
tory in the development, not alone
of the State of West Virginia, but Of
the Old Dominion and the great
Middle West as well.
In the old days the trail was
studded with tavcrns whose walls,
could they but speak, could tell the
stories of great celebrities who slept
beneath their shelter. These tav-
crns are being restored and in addi-
ton plans are being made to erect
log cabins long the route and to
provide camping grounds where
tourists might stop on their way
though the State.
In view Of the fact that the trail
probably will be entirely comoIct-
ed across West Virginia in 1923, the
scenic committee desires to begin at
onceSs work of arousing local in
terest in historical spots. 1t wishes
to DO everything possible to mark
them and to make them inviting
places for the rest and refreshment
Of travellers.
In his letter of notification to his
committee members DR.. Black ask
ed each to make an inventory of
the interesting and historical spots
long the trail and to make a REPORT
at a luncheon which will be given
In Charleston early in September.
The committee members appoint
ed by DR.. Black are: Cabeli county,
DR. X Kessler, Huntingdon; Put
nam county, J T Garrett, Hurricane:
kanawha county, V r Skinner, St.
Albans; Fayette county, David
Boone, Lookout; Nicholas county.

commended dismissal Of the com

Travelling Salesmen's association, and
ether travelling men against the 90
per cent increase in Pullman car rates
which become effective May l, 1920.
The examiners report found that
the increased rates were rot unreason-

tTaleving men that it increased gross
revenues approximately $4,000, 600
annually.
The rate reduction here sought,
would if granted" the report said,

such operating expenses, more sub
