Under these favoring auspices very gratifying
progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions. Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and cOnverging Branches e.
tween the Missouri River and the base Of the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years. The CENTRAL Pacific RAILROAD has
also steadily and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation Of the
Pacific TO the summit Of the Sierra Nevada, and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east Of the Cali.
fOrnia line. Having overcome by far the most
difficult and expensive portion Of the whole
line, the probabilities Of the through connection
with the Eastern lines being effected in $50
amount almost TO certainty.

CORY ee,Lanus' Epistie.

The cold and festive season of
winter has arrived. .... u
OF which you are probably aware,
as every well-conducted newspaper
Office should keep an almanac.
I keep one. "' ,'4 1920, a..
! find it great comfort. You can
by it ascertain what day Of the month

what the majority Of Maine was,
when to plant turuirs, aud the year
CORVALLIS surrendered. s"-~.'
! Which it equally valuable to the
nan 6 science, and the historian.
Atthe same ..;me the strain on
the intellect ..ff the reader is rc.! relieved
by occasional anecdotes, and a
conundrum or two at the bottom of
the page to fill out.
But to come back to the subject,
Winter is upon us, and will stick to
US like a whole family of poor rela-
t;ons for three or four months. E-
The almanac says three months,
and that spring ought to come in
with Grant, in March.
But itwon't do to take it for Gran
ted that Winter will March fourth
with Andy johnson. 81 '-I. .'s.
Winter has bad habit for an old
chap like him, oflingering in the lap
of Spring, which Spring ought to be
ashamed Of herself to allow, Il, :.
Now Winter is here We have got
to make the best oft. s.@
The worst of it is that it costs so
much to make the best of it, and as
some people cant afford it they get
the worst of it,. ~ ..@, .~.~.a
Those who can afford it should
give away all they can't spend to
the poor.
It is moro blessed to give than to
receive. a'.
If you give penny to Boy in
Blue who is circulating the crank of
hand organ Jou are more blessed
than he is.
Though he appears to be just as
we,, satisfied, and will stand it as
long as you nickels hold out.
II you have anything to give, give
it to the poor.
l know ono poor family.
I am doing the best l can to take
care of them; but they are always
in need of something.
One of them wants an Astracan
cloak.
Another wants q drsss.
A small party by the name of
Themistocles wants an oyercoat, a
pair Of boots, vclocipede. hum

dog, a big wagon box Of dominoes,
a three bladsd knife, ball ofcord,

eles which 7 have forgotten, but
which he promises to remember for
me when I have got the rest.
They have all promised to wait till
