THE C & O NORTHERN
RAILWAY:
Around the turn of the twentieth
century the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway began looking for a route to
haul their coal through the State of
Ohio to the Great Lakes at Toledo,
Ohio. During the early years the
C&O looked at the Toledo and Ohio
Central, the Kanawha and Michi-
gan and the Hawking Valley rail-
ways as an outlet. These railway
companies were jointly owned and
controlled by four larger corpora-
tions, i.e., the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern, the Erie, the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Pennsylva-
nia Company. About 1909 litigation
was in progress attacking the own-
ership by these four companies as
being in violation of the Hepburn
Act. As a result of this litigation, the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
bought control of the Toledo and
Ohio. The Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company bought control of
the Hawking Valley. The Kanawha
and Michigan was divided equally
between the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the Michigan Southern.
y y
plan, too, was abandoned in part. On July 2, 1917 a news release by
An agreement was reached with the C&O said in part as follows:
the Norfolk and Western Railroad =Trains will be operated over the
whereby they would move the C&O
trains over their line from Waverly,
Ohio to South Columbus and by
expending $4,500.000. including
funds from the sale of the Kanawha
and Michigan to the New York
Central, the Limeville bridge and
branch line of the Cincinnati Divi-
sion known as the C&O Northern
was constructed.
C&O President George W. Ste-
vens sent M.J. Caples to the Hawk-
ing Valley at Columbus in 1914
charged with constructing the C&O
Northern from Limeville to Waverly
but much credit for the success in its
building was given to William
Michel, Chief Engineer of the Hawk-
ing Valley Railroad. The beautiful,
great and sturdy bridge spaning the
Ohio River at Sciotoville was de-
signed and built by Gustave Linden-
thal who designed the famous Hell
Gate steel arch bridge over the East
River in New York.
Reunion Held
Chesapeake and Ohio Northern, the
new subsidiary of the C&O before
the end of July. The steel work on
the new bridge which spans the Ohio
River at Sciotoville, above
Portsmouth, was completed last
week. This week work will be started
on placing the steel approaches on
the Ohio side. This will require but a
few days.
=Work on the roadbed was also
completed last week from Siotoville
Northward and the other from
Glen jean Southward were connected
last Thursday. This completes the
work on the road bed with the excep-
tion of a small amount of ditch work."
The C&O later completed build-
ing its line from Waverly to Colum-
bus and in 1930 bought outright the
entire stock of the Hawking Valley
and, over the years, has proven to be
a very important part of the C. & O.
System..

Allergic Reactions to
Insect Bites & Stings
Bites and songs from insects
such as ants, wasps, yellow jack-
ets, hornets, and bees are more
common during summer months.
For most individuals, bites and
stings arc painful but unev ful.
However. for many of the'q'dore
than one million people who are
allergic to insect venom, a single
bite or sting can be fatal.
Prevention: Tight fitting clothes
can prevent insects from getting
between the material and the skin.
Light-colored clothing (e.g.,white
or light khaki) has been found to be
less attractive to bees. Persons
with known allergies should avoid
scented soap, perfume, suntan lo-
tion, and bright, shiny jewelry.
When outdoors, wear long-sleeved
shirts, a hat, and socks and shoes
(not sandals). Use an insect repel-
lant before going outdoors. Spray
garbage cans with an insecticide.
Keep food stored properly to pre-
vent ants from congregating.
Treatment: Pain and itching may
be controlled with ice packs or one
of several topical products con-
mining a local anesthetic. When
individuals with known allergies
are stung, they should keep the
amount of venom in the blood low
by removing the stinger and wrap-
ping a fie around the arm or leg
above the sting. Get to a hospital or
physician's office as soon as pos-
sible.

Dear Editor:
Thanks for the story on Speedy
Krise. He played wonderful music. I
sat in on his program on W.J.L.S.
The name Dobro might mean
=Good" in some tongue, but that is
not where the name came from. The
instrument was invented by Ed
Dopera. He and his brothers Rudy
and Robert originated it. So the name
comes from The ])opera Brothers.
The tuning most used by the
Bluegrass a country music is an off
brand tuning, it is usually in open

is Open =A" Chord.
