railways in this state is attracting great attention among all the railroad
officials, and the mileage has been greatly increased this year over that of
any previous two.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> At Clarksburg the Fairmont &
Clarksburg Traction Company will build an extension of the eight miles from
Clarksburg to Salem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> At Gassaway the Elk & Little Kanawha
railroad company will build a narrow gauge line from Gassaway on the mouth of
the Otter to Rosedale, going down the Elk river.<o:p></o:p></p>

creek and the other seven miles up Crane creek to Mora and Sagamore.<o:p></o:p></p>
