Auxiliary Pumping Station
    The Norfolk and Western railroad hands were engaged yesterday in installing an auxiliary pumping station at Graham.  On account of the heavy traffic on the road of late, the water supply at Bluefield pumped with two large pumps from Bluestone river, has not been sufficient to accommodate the number of engines in use and hence the auxiliary pump arrangement was made necessary.  The new pump will take its water supply from Beaver Pond branch and the Graham water tank will be supplied from this source which, railroad men say, will relieve the water situation which , it is said, has caused the road's officials considerable concern of late.
