EXTENSIVE RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTs-The
Grand Trunk railroads are gradually absorbing
al the branches which feed their main lines,
and are thus becoming powerful not only in
wealth, but in political influence. The Central
Pacific has control OF most Of the roads in
California and now the Union Pacific unites
with the Pennsylvania Central, and becomes
the most powerful and extensive railroad COM
bination on this continent, If not in the world.
Central aud connections from the sea-board to
the Union Pacific terminus at Ogden, Utah !;
The California Pacific (not the Central Pacifc),
which will he extended north to Goose Lake,
Oregon, and connecting with the Oregon Rail
road to Portland, possibly also Puget Sound,
thence to. Christmas Lakes thence eastward
along the south side CT Snake River, in South
ern Idaho, to connect with the Union Pacific,
eastward Of Ogden. This route will avoid the
heavy grade across the Sierra Nevada, and
complete continuous line from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. 1t will be constructed imme-
Europe for the entire work. No subsidies will
be asked.
The new railroad incorporation, under the
name Of the Eastern Extension California Pa
cifc Road, will start from Davisville, on the
line Of the California Pacific Road, twelve
miles from Sacramento, and terminate near
Ogden. The road will be 1000 miles long. and
will run through country capable Of furnish
ing extensive local trade.

In a recent address delivered to the City
Council of Knoxville, Mayor Van Glide +
said: ''Our city is steadily progressing,
in sound and healthy way. Blessed with
genial climate-the centre of East Ten
nesfee-fsvored alike in its productive soil
and wealth of minerals, Knoxville, with
its present and prospective railroad and
river communications, is highly favored,
indeed. There is no doubt of the pro-
gress of our city in population. trade and
wealth. And, especially, is our city an in
viting field for the capitalist, skilled arti-
san and mechanic. That Knoxville pos
sesses, I may say, unsurpassed facilities for
manufacturing operations, is unquestioned.
The industries of city give it perma-
nance, population and wealth, because by
them exports become larger than imports
or to apply familiar principle-the
community lives within its income and
gradually accumulstes wealth"
