Railroad.

We are left in the dark as to wha
lourse the friends of the Eureka bill
nthe Legislature intend to pursue il
|prard to the route of a railroad from
he Central Pacific. Senator Lock
Vood has Introduced Il bill to eiicou.
Ice the construction OF Il rallroa,
rom Pdlisade to The Colorado. T.,is
nav mean that the bill as originally
Introduced for the unIe lur oo>t, hy
Eepator Cassidy, las been Withdrawn
Whatever arrangement has betI
made with General Page ana the cor.
boratOrs of the PdliSaue ana Piocne
silroau Company, il seems certain
hat action will now tie taken to give
Is a railroad nom SOnie point on tie
main trunk as :, .eed.iy as possible. In
day or tive we may t these VAIL
bus projects assume the roiln OF Il
kUnSolidated r.tilrCa | interest that
kill insure its construction in IL short
Ii time than is now believed to Le
b~ossible. Having got well rid ut the
opportunities of the Villagers in the
WESTERN part OF the county for u de.
bur" for their benefit, we have an
Opportunity to I, fleet upon and con-
)ider the best plan by which to secure
ailrOad communication for Eureka
Directly, and for other portions OF
EASTERN Nevada incidentally. We
have no doubt tilaJ some railroad
Plan is under consideration by
BUR legislators, which will shorty
be made known by their action. The
kentlemen who we're recently dis
batciled to Carson to urge the passage
the Eureka bill, MeSSrs. i>tily and
DurOw, will undoubtedly represent
b the members Of the Legislature
|he present feelings of the people OF
ibis section in regard to Il Railroad
(Oute and point of departure. The
point is not so much u mat
Ter of interest to us as is tue route to
epursueu. 1t would certainly please
|ur people better to have Il permanent
erminus in Eureka, even at the en-
ense of building fifty miles Of
bad to connect with the line from
Palisade or ElkO, than to have II
Trough road to Phoebe and Utah, on
ghich Eureka would be Il mere way
The advantages Of terminus

AIRY. A road from Elko or Palisade
b strike the pass which heads near
diamond District, called Railroad
and continuing down the
gallev toward Hamilton and Phoebe,
wOuld afford lis II good ,"ppor-
unity Of making an independ-
INT connection from Eureka with u
branch road by way of Diamond,
Railroad Pass, to the main
line going south. This would pre-
vent Eureka from becoming Il mere
wav station, and give our citizens adj
vanta"eS too palpahle to be ignored.
We offer thu Sc suggestions not whit the
hope or design of influencing legisla-
ton, but for the consideration or our
citizens. who will take action tending
10 procure the proper legislative sane
zion TO the project that appears the
most advantageous. As soon as u
new county government is Installed,
we should begin to act. by that time
tne Legislature will have passed a
law providing for such procedure in
aid of a railroad on the part of our
as will correspond with that
Of the people of adjacent counties for
the anne purpose. Let us initiate the
energetic conduct OF the citizens OF

"NERITAS."-A fellow assumes I'M
warrantabl,y the use of this title as a
Signature to a scurrilous communica-
lion in the RereiUe, in which he gives
some false statistics in regard to prices

y TO cast Il slur upon Senator CasSl-
.dys bill to create the County of Eu-
feka. Wonder how he feels ROW on
mat subject? We recognize i'll the
communication of .'Veritas" the fami-
mar earmarks of "H," who periOdi-
cally goes to the Austin paper with
some grievance against us or against

senate. He would then have had AN
opportunity to name his friends in the
Eureka bill. Who doubts that he
would have done it? We have been
@uSht that reritds is Latin for
'Serlty. or truth; vet here is Il
vufonic talsiiier, justly fearful that

strictly true, going to the Austin pa
