RAILROAD MATTERS.

The Carson correspondent Of the Sac
rameuto Record who seems to take a
deep interest in Eastern Nevada rail
roads. furnishes the following to that
paper, under date Of February S:
Railroads are just nov at fever heat
above fever heat, indeed-and very soon,
As the iron Is struck, spar IS viii begin 10
fly. The issues are: Shall we have a
road, narrow-gaags, from Elko, or a
STANDARD gauge from Palisade, or line
VIA Austin: Shall upper Nye county Join
into White Pine, shall Lander be divided,
shall Eureka be created: Shall reason
prevail, and that means be adopted
which shall secure the speedy issue Of
county bonds and the early completion
Of q road over the shortest practicable
route: AL these matters stir the souls
VI the seyenty-two wise men Of Nevada
- their uttermost depths. II seems TO
those best situated to Judge inpartially,
that the proposed Humboldt and Col
orado road IS & great commercial enter
prise, rising above all local interests, and
OvarshadOging in its importance and in
eyitable results. The Elko and Hamilton
people feel confident Of securing an e1-
tension Of their charter. which lapses in
August next. As have said, bonds have
already been ordered by two counties for
this road, but there has been suggested Q
legal difficulty that will require legisla-
ton to overcome. These bonds were
granted upon the faith Of completion of
the road by the time specified il the
charter. The petitioners for the bonds
are presumed to have prayed their is
suance upon that express contract. 1t
follows that no extension OF the
charter can enable the company to
claim these bonds. Such, at least, is
the doubt on the question that a tangle
VIII be sure to result II the bonds are de-
manded under the reconstructed charter
In this dilemma Rider " to the bill
extending the right, providing for new
issuance Of bonds after full petition, ETC.,
becomes necessary, and throws, in all
reasonable probability, the whole ques-
ton open for the opponents Of the meas
ure to tight over again when the Legisla-
ture shall have adjourned. The Palisade
Road Company is organized under the
general State Incorporation law, and has
no such trouble to contend with. But it
Is not without its troubles, for it desires
Lander divided that there shall be no
doubt about county aid. 1t is easy to
imagine how great a war of lobbying
these complex questions bring about.
As cosmopolite, l cannot but think the
interests of the whole State demand the
construction Of the standard-gauge Pals
ade road toward, and eventually to the
Colorado, and that all possible aid should
be given it. At the same time the Elko-
Hamilton road would prove of great local
benefit, even if narrow gauge. The Pal
isade people are working hard, and the
Elko folks are equally industrious.
Meanwhile the west Lander people seem
to have no advocates, and prophesy
now that they will be left out in the cold
unless they build line themselves, sole
ly for local purposes.

the soil is rich, and an abundant
harvest was promised this year,

hoppers swept the farms of every

pie being generally poor, the
consequence was the privation and
