ROANOKE ON WALL STREET.
What Business Men Think of the
Suggestion.
James 8, Simmons Kndorscs tho Project,
and Is tteadjr With Iiis Pro Rat? of the
Km|iuiixo?Koini) & Co. Will go It by
Themselves If tho Other* Aro Not Dis?
posed to Ilolii?Many Other* In 1'ovur
of tho Project.
Tho suggestion of Dr. E. A. Parsons,
in an interview with him published in
Tub Timks Sunday morning about tho
ostablisluuent of a bureau of informa?
tion on Wall street, has met with uni?
versal commendation from thoso who
are directly interested.
A great project is appreciated in Roa?
noke if anywhero, and Roanokcrs take
hold of anybody's suggestions that will
add to tho growth and prosperity or tho
city.
Tuf. TiMKS man felt the pulse of the
real ostato men and others interested in
this matter yesterday, and found them
in normal condition and of one opinion
in favor of tho scheme.
"It is entirely practicable." said .las.
S. Simmons, "and l think Roanoke can
do nothing better than adopt somn
moans by which the people in the
money centers of the country can be
kept informed concerning tho advan?
tages and opportunities for investment
in this section.
"I think it would ho well to carry out
the idea on a large r scale than lias been
suggested and establish bureaus of in?
formation, not only in New York, but
also in Huston and Philadelphia.
"The Wall street Investments are al?
most entlroly speculative, and frequent?
ly capitalists want to put t heir money
in safer Investments.
"At such times money naturally looks
to new countries and WO should take
some Btej s to make our advantage s
prominently known, so as to get the
benefit of all such opportunities.
"Resides this, with a bureau of infor?
mation in New York, Philadelphia and
Huston, wo would be constantly adver?
tising our si otlon in the money centers,
and among capitalists who aro eager
to put their money where it is safe and
will pay largo interests.
"Tim dlfforent localities of Southwest
Virginia are mutually interested, and I
think it would be the best plan for the
State Real Estate Exchange, which it is
proposed to organize, to tako bold of |
this matter.
"Should Roanoke tako tho initiative,
other localities will follow, but it is
best that wo move together.
"This is an important matter that
should not bo neglected, and I stand
ready io bear my pro rata of tho ox
penso of tho project."
V. B. Ludwig, of the firm of Francis
H. Kemp ,t Co., when approached on the
subject, Haid the scheme suggested in
Sunday's TlMHS was the one thin?; mtst
needed, and that, it should be oarritd
out.
"Why it will bo worth more to the
city," said he, "than the securing of
two big manufacturing plants. Wo
would be placing our advantages before
the eyes of men who have money, and
who would jump at the opportunity for
investment in this section if they only
know of them.
"The now towns of Alabama have at- |
traetcd much capital by this means and j
wo cannot allYird to leave this field open
much longer.
"Kemp & Co., have been contemplat?
ing doing some work along this line, :
and will carry out the id< a yol if Un?
people of this section do not tako hold
of this matter. If they do. we are
v.illiug to join and help all we can in
the good work.
"New York has never been worked
for this section, and this is one great
reason why this proj< et should be car?
ried out. We. have never made our ad- i
vantages known in tho money center of j
tho country, and as soon as wo do this I
wo may reasonably expect a large influx I
of capital and tho establishment of ,
many more industries.
"VVitii tho largo number of people !
hero who aro interested, tho burden of
exponse for securing a good man, and
supplying him with plenty of literature, !
would fall lightly upon all."
Mr. W. P. Dupuy, of the firm of Du
puy <fc Taliaforro, said that be con?
sidered tho scheme entirely practicable
and thought that it would bo a groat
?troko for Hoanoko. Ho was of tho
opinion that the State Exohantfo should
establish, a bureau, but sho ild H fail
to move, ho thought it would bo
woll for hoanoko to tako bold of tho
matter nooording to the suggestion in
TiiB Times.
?^??1-ient tlockaday, of tho Real Es
tato Exohango, favored tho scheme. "It
will bo a great thing for Roanoke, and
this scsCon generally," said ho, "if tho
suggestion can bo oarried out. The
bureau should bo established by the
Stato Exchange and I think there is no
doubt that this body will tako hold of
the mattor.
"Wo noi d to get our advantages be?
fore capitalists, and thoro is no better
way to do this than to oarry out the
suggestion of Dr. Parsons."
Prosident R. H. Woodrum, o.J the
Commoroial Club, thought the idea a
good Oiio.
"I haro not thought oi thlB matter
thorougly," naid he, "out do not hesi
taeo to say that a bureau of information
'm Now York would accomplish much
?for the good of tho city. Tho idea is
practicable if tho people hero will only
take hold of it."
L. W. .Jamison, president of the West
End Land Company, vice-president of
tho Roanoko Development Company,
and prominently oonm c.ted with many
othor land companies, was well pleased
with the idea.
"Uoanoko needs to keep capitalists
thoroughly informed as to her advanta?
ges, and this is a good way to do it.
"There are closer relations existing
between Roanoke and Philadelphia and
Baltimore, than bctwoi n Uoanoko and
New York, and for this reason my opin?
ion is that it would be better to work
according to Dr. Parson's suggestion in
these cities tir.st, and go to Now York
later if this method proves to be suc?
cessful."

I offer for sale 201 acres of Coal and
Iron Land, situated in tho C.itawba val?
ley of Virginia, eleven miles from Roan
oko. The outlook for great develop?
ments on this property is splondid. The
ore is a vein oi soft brown hematite 32
feet wide and assaying 50 per cent, me?
tallic iron. And the coal prospects are
line -two shafts having l?oen sunk, one
20 and the other 25 foot, through solid
coal slate. The property also contains
i a mineral spring, which the analysis of
. Lehmann & Mager proved to possess re
markable curative powers for all kidney
troubles, especially for diabetes. The
enormous quantity ot coal and ore that,
will be required for the large number of
furnaces and other industrial plants
course of construction in Southwest Vir?
ginia will greatly increase the already
birgt- demand for these minerals, and
consequently enhance tho value of such
property. Two railroads have been sur?
veyed near the property, one of which
the Roanoke and Craigrailroai, and the
other, the Virginia Western railroad,
