FIELD DAY."-Nearly everybody in
Olympia and Tumwater assembled " on
the grade last Thursday, and pushed
forward tho work in a highly satisfac-
tory manner. 1t appears that the Ell.
thusiasm is on the increase, and the
people themselves hardly realize the
amount of work they are doing. If this
spirit continues, and the country peo-
pie unite in future operations, the grad
ing on the whole route will be accom-
plished, in month or two, without its
costing one-tenth part of the estimate
in cash. With the road-bed completed
there will be no difficulty experienced
in future operations. 1t is stated by
actual count that there were 800 men
engaged on the grade last Thursday,
and about IS ladies' wore present with
baskets of provisions, to aid the good
cause. Next Thursday another rally
will be made, and Oh the LIST of May it
is expected that the whole county will
respond to the invitation of the Presi-
dent Of the company and appear
equipped for duty.

ARRIVAL OF CAPT. D. B. F1NcH.-The
many friends of Capt. Finch will be
pleased to learn that he has returned,
with the object of renewing steamboat
operations on the Sound. His arrival,
Thursday evening, was made the occa-
sion for general rejoicing, and the cor
dial greetings which insued, must have
been exceedingly gratifying to that
gentleman, and his estimable family
who accompany him. The appearance
OF the carriage, which was sent out to
meet the stage and convey him to town,
was the signal for the roar of artillery
on the public square, and the display of
bunting all over the town. About Co.
clock he was the recipient of serenade,
at the residence of Mr.. Huntington, by
the Light Guard Band, accompanied
by concourse of citizens. Although
the Captain had retired, he soon ap-
peared and heartily greeted those who
had assembled TO honor his arrival. It
is with peculiar satisfaction we welcome
home one whose name is SO inseparably
connected with the prosperity Of our
town and county, and whose unostenta-
tious deeds of benevolence have en-
shrined him deep in the hearts of the
people.

RAILROADS HALF A CENTURY AGO.

The following letter, in reply to a
suggestion about railroads, over fifty
years ago, by Chancellor Livingston,
who had been associated with his broth
cr-in-law, Robert Fulton, in the appli-
cation of steam to vessels, shows the
state of improvements in that day,
and reads something like the sage
opinions Of the wiseacres of the present
time:
ALBANY, March l, 1911.
Dear Sir: did not till yesterday re-
ceivo yours of the 25th of February;
where it has loitered on the road am
a loss to say. I fear, however, on ma
ture reflection, that they will be liable
TO serious objection, and ultimately
more expensive than n canal. They
must be double, SO as TO prevent the
danger of two such heavy bodies meet
ing. The walls on which they are placed
must be at least four feet below tie
surface and three feet above, and must
be clamped with iron, and even then
would hardly sustain SO heavy a weight
as you propose moving at the rate of
four miles an hour on wheels. As to
wood it would not last week. They
must be covered with iron, and that too
very thick and strong. The means of
stopping these heavy carriages without
a great shock, and of preventing them
from running on each other-for there
would be many running on the road at
once-would be very difficult. In case
of accidental stops, or necessary stops
to take in wood and water, etc. many
accidents would happen. The carriage
of condensing water would be very
troublesome. Upon the whole, fear
the expense would be much greater than
that of canals, without being so conve-
nient. r. r. LIVINGSTON.

If-i liiHt .'"l,Vio w
The difference in first cost being s4,-
G94 40 per mile, allowing the duration
Of ties ballast, ETC., to he equal on both
systems, the comparison of difference
of cost in maintenance for that period
will DO between the renewal of iron
rails, spikes, etc., on the one and rails
and wedges on the other. The esti-
mate is as follows:
SO tons tless cost of old IRON ut SIS AGA 90
FiSh-llates and spikes, half amt re-
neWal. ....- .....,.... ...... ...... $50 90
Cost per nilo ................. SASH co
Hard wood rails renewed once in
three years. ........... ............ 81 500 %
Extra labor for renewals ............ $50 90
Cost per mile for Is years ....... $2,250 90
1t will be seen from this, that not
only in construction but in the main
tenance, the difference is largely in fa-
vor of the wooden rail. The difference
in first cost is, say in round numbers 81
600 per mile, the interest upon which
for the Is miles would amount at 10
per cent. per annum to over 5000 per
annum.
The Builder adds: There can DO no
doubt, taking these facts into consider
alton, the wooden railway supplies a
desirable means Of opening up the re-
sources of q new district, with light
traffic, which would not yield proper
return for the more costly iron. In
building such road the work can be
constructed with view to the wooden
rail being replaced by an iron one at a
future period, whom the increased traffic
may render such q change desirable.
If the people have made up their
minds that their object is simply one of
utility, OF of obtaining the greatest
amount of benefit from q given expen-
diture, We can see no reason why the
wooden rails should not be adopted on
the Olympia-Tenin Railroad. We are
not in a position to work for gran
deur," or to strive for anything moro
than will supply the reasonable de-
mands of the present time or the imme-
date future. 1t appears to us that it
would be very poor policy to send mon
ey to England OF " America" for iron,
when our inexhaustible forests furnish
a cheaper if not better substitute, by the
use of which the money can be kept at
home. 1t may be possible that before
We need iron rails as matter of econ
omy in consequence of the heavy traffic,
our home mines may be able to sup
ply the demand. At any rate, we be-
speak for these views, the careful con-
sideration of the directors and stock
holders of the Olympia Railroad Union.
