THE PACIFIC RAILROAD FINISHED.

The last rail of the Pacific raiload
was laid on the 10th. Thus the great
est enterprise of the age was completed.
A dispatch from Promontory, Utah, OF
that date gives the following partic-
ulars of the ceremony:
About S CLOCK this morning a party
of officers of the Union Pacific, includ-
ing Durant, Deller, Duff, Gen.. Dodge,
and number of Mormon officials ar
rived from the east. They met Gov.
Stanford and other officers of the Cen
trail Pacific, who were awaiting their
arrival to proceed with the ceremony
of laying the last rail.
The day was clear and bright, and
about one thousand persons, including
the employees OF both roads were pres
emf. A number of ladies were also
able to witness the ceremony. Ar
engagements were made with telegraph
officials to connect wires with the east
as far as New York, and west with San
Francisco, where each stroke of the
hammer OH the last spike would ring a
bell in the City Hall, and the final blow
discharge battery of artillery i'll San
Francisco bay.
Precisely at noon prayer was offered
up by the Rev. Mr.. Todd, OF Pittsfield,
Mass; then the golden spike which
had been presented to the officers OF
both roads by DIR. Hardness. on the
part of California, and n. a. Firth, on
the part of Nevada, was driven by
Gov. Stanford, of the Central Pacific,
and Durant, Dillon and Duff, of the
Union Pacific, amid the cheers of the
entire party.

THE Ng0SHO VALLEY RAILROAD.

The ST. Louis Republican of Monday
says:
The following New York gentlemen
arrived on special car from Chicago
last evening and are registered at the
Southern: Judge Levi Parsons, Presi-
dent OF the Union Pacific Railroad,
Southern Branch, running from Fort
Riley. down the Neosho Valley to Fort
Smith, Arkansas. He is accompanied
by the following Directors: Francis
Skiddy, Robert S. Stevens, George
Dennison, Theodore johnson and IL.
A. johnson. The party leaves this
afternoon for Junction City, for the
purpose of making an inspection of the
road. The road as a feeder TO the Kan
sas Pacific Railway, is Of interest to ST.
Louis.
The survey of the road was common
ced in December last and we understand
that sixty miles will be built by next
September. Five thousand tons of iron
have been purchased, three thousand
tons of which have already been deliv-
cred; seven thousand ties have been
delivered, and the whole road is under
contract.
The company has a grant of, 36O, 900
acres of land. Eight hundred and ten
thousand dollars i'll county bonds have
been subscribed towards the road by
the counties through which it passes.
We learn also that five thousand i'm
migrants from Copenhagen, have paid
their passage, and that thirty thousand
Swcd s are expected during the season
to settle on the lands belonging to the
road. The Ocean Queen, with large
installnent Of immigrants is nearly due

A SURVEY TO THE WALNUT
IMMEDIATELY
THE BONDS OF LYON COUNTY
ASKED FORT
THE QUESTION SUBMITTED To THE
PEOPLE

Col. C. X. Holiday and d. L. Lakin
visited this place ON Wednesday for the
purpose of asking a submission to the
people of Lyon county of the question
of voting bonds to the Atchison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fe railroad, a. meeting of
the Commissioners having been called
for that purpose on that day. After a
two gentlemen on behalf of the rail-
road company, and the Commissioners
and several citizens, it was agreed to
submit the question of taking stock in
the road to the amount of 100000 on
the 18th of June next, upon the condi-
tions published below.
Col. Holiday informs us that fifteen
miles OF the road are now completed
and the cars running.
A survey is to be made at once from
here to the Walnut, it being necessary
to file the plat of the route at Washing
ton. The road win run up the Cotton
wood at least as far as South fork.
This road is now on a financial basis
which iEsures its success. All doubt
OF its being built is removed. By the
conditions on which the company pro-
cured portion of the Pottawatomie
lands, the road has to be completed be-
tween Atchison and Topeka by a certain
time, thus making it necessary for
work to be prosecuted on that end of
the route while the road is being built

the reason why the company ask until
the LIST day of October, 1870, to COM
plete the road to this point. While
this time is asked for to cover all I'M
Ilooked-for delays, it is really expected
the road will be built to Emporia sew
Aersl months before that time expires.
There will be four issues of the paper
between now and the time of voting on
this question, and we expect to give
our readers, from week to week, the
reasons why we support this PROPOSE
ton. In supporting it we shall only
be actuated by desire to benefit the
county and every farmer, mechanic,
and business man in it.
We understand that thorough can
vass of the county will be made by sew
eral speakers. In the meantime we
ask our readers to give the question
! that calm consideration which its great
! importance demands. Let the matter
be thoroughly discussed pro and con.
Below is the proposition as submitted
/ by the Commissioners. 1t is safe and
| there is no room for a swindle. No
road. no bonds, is the motto of the

WHAT ROOE mEN CAN Do An TIE
WEST.

The following we clip from the New
York IFlbunes
40 the -Edstos. OF TIE Tribune:
SIR: / often see inquiries in the
| Tribune about what man can do by
coming West with $500 or other sums
of money. Allow me to tell them not
what they can do, but what a couple
of men did do. One of them came to
Michigan forty years ago and went in
to the woods twenty miles beyond the
last house, and Joined settlement al
ready begun of four or five families.
There were in the family, four of whom
could do no more than take care of
themselves. The family were worth
about $500. The first thing was to pay
Uncle Sam $500 of this for $50 acres of
land. A log house, two pair of oxen,
and two cows, few tools, and little
to live on the first year, covered the
rest. There were two boys in this fam
lily. One of them has earned $4,000
since that, and the other about 10000,
besides living well all the time. any
body of sound health, with win and
energy enough, can. do the same or
more, for this is not considered to be
anything extraordinary"
We can point to instances in our
midst where men are worth more than
half the first amount named above,
who have made it all here within a
dozen wears, who absolutely COM
menced without dollar. Again, there
are hundreds of men in this part of
Kansas who have made at the rate of
from $1,000 to $500 per year since they
settled here, many of whom were not
so fortunate as to have capital of $500
to commence OH. The instances of men
becoming well to-do In very few
years are so plenty all over the West
ern States that one is surprised that so
many men hang about the great cities
aud drag out a miserable existence all
their lives. Any man who is disposed
to be industrious and saving can accu-
,mulate more in ten years in the West
1--WE mean III the country at 5000 per
year than he can in the eastern cities in
the same length of time, at $1,000 per
year. Because in the West there are
inducements for him to save his money
and invest it in our cheap lands or in
stock raising. What man in the East
receiving moderate salary ever hopes
to become the owner of farm? Not
! one in thousand. An occasional man
in the East strikes rich lead" and be-
comes wealthy, but where one does this
thousand fail and become disheart-
ened. We say, then, to young men in
the East who have to depend on their
own eXertions, come to the West. BE
! industrious; frugal and honest-be con-
I tent to accumulate slowly; be not in so
much of a hurry to get rich as to lead
