New York, April IL, 1873.
I have seen, and do most unqualifed1y APP
prove of Mr. w. B. McClure's Anti-frietion
Chain and Traveller, for the use of cart horses,
whereby the severe conclusions and continual
calling incident to the present mode Of harness.
ing draft animals are effectually overcome. This
invention should be speedily in general use.
HENRY BERGH President
Alexandria, April 8, 1873.
l havo boon using for more than four months
the Self-adjusting, Anti-frction Back Chain and
Traveller" and take pleasure in testifying that
they are perfect success. The saving in wear
of the saddle alone is worth more than the cost
of the chain, and the saving in labor and suffer-
ing to the horse is lncalculabe.

A RusE.-It is now very generally
believed that the location of the termin-

pany repudiated the bonds to our citi-
zens, and that the invitation to the
people of Seattle to bid for the location,
was only to cover up and conceal a
course that even the money-ring must
blush to own. This belief is strength
encd by the fact that Seattle offered
more than the terminus was worth to
them, and all that even the company
could ask of her citizens.

RAILROAD CoNSEcT1oS.-It is stated
upon reliable authority that Gov. Salo-
mon has succeeded in enlisting the at
tention of San Francisco capitalists to
the coal fields in this vicinity, and that
he will probably be successful in organ
ling company to build narrow
gauge railroad to the mines, which
will connect with the Northern Pacific
at Tenino. This will practically give
us all we ever expected to realize from
the mammoth corporation, without
donating" half we possess to secure it.
Gov. Solomon has the hearty support of
every citizen interested in the welfare of
the county and Territory in this laud-
able enterprise.
