SEES NOTHING HERE THE VIRGINIAN WANTS

General Manager of Rogers' Road Thus Answers Question of Whether it will Come to Bluefield

    "I see nothing at Bluefield, that the Virginian wants; do you?"  This is the answer given by Raymond Dupuy, general manager of the Virginian Railway, to a question about the Virginian entering Bluefield.  Whether or not the Virginian will enter the city seems to be unanswered as yet.  Bluefield wants the Virginian and the question now is does the Virginian want to come to Bluefield?  The Virginian official, it will be noticed, does not give a direct answer to the question but evades it in a manner which leaves a very reasonable doubt in the minds of those who have watched the methods of the company in the building of the Virginian.  For years it will be remembered it was not even known who was building the road which went through two states and was practically finished before it was officially known that H. H. Rogers was the man behind the gun.
