the last twenty years, powerful
lobbies have proved utterly pow
erless in influencing, or, rather,
perverting. national legislation.
OF course q Democratic Congress
could do nothing good In the eyes
of extreme Republicans, but there
is great step forward involved in
the statement of the fact that
Stockwell, the President Of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
In 1872 procured the passage, by a
Republican Congress, of subsidy
for his company amounting to
$500, 600, and that, too, as mere
incident of a Wall street specula-
tion, while, during the last session
of Congress, Jay Gould and his
we'll drilled and impudent army of
log-rollers, were utterly impotent
to affect the legislation of Con-
gress In regard to the Pacific Rail-
ways. It is pleasant to be able to
note a salient fact like this, even
if all the reforms desired cannot be
accomplished in a day. Thanks to
the presence of Democrats in con.
trolling numbers in Congress, we
bid fair to get back to the old days
of conscientious and honest legis.
lation, in Washington City, al
least.

into the mountains by Gen. How
ard and have now started eastward
for Snake river, along ridge of

BAKER CITY, Ogn., July 11th.-
The town has been under great ex-

learn that all reports as yet are
false. Col. Sanfor0's command is
camped at Orodell, Grande Ronde,

tiles should they attempt to go

company of soldiers now scouting

BROAD AND MARROW GAUGES.

A recent article in Scribner's Monthly
was strongly in favor of gaage
roads. In the December number, Mr..
Lorenzo NJ. Johnson takes up the cud-
gels in favor of the broad or standard
gauge. He says: In regard to the rela.
tive claims of the two classes of roads,
there is tendency to exaggerate the
cost of standard gauge roads, their roll
ing stock and operation; and, at the
same time, to depreeiate the cost of con-
struction, equipment and operation Of
narrow-g gauge roads
For instance. it has been said in rela-
ton to the equipment of standard
gauge road, that the weight of car is
twenty thousand pounds, its capacity
twenty thousand, and its cost $735; /;
whereas the fact is that the capacity OF
such car is at least twenty-four thou
sand pounds. while its cost need not be
more than $400
At the same time, the weight of plat
form car of the narrow gauge road il
given at six Thousand two hundred and
fifty pounds, with capacity of nineteen
thousand These cars weigh nearer nine
Thousand pounds, and they should be ra-
ted at sixteen thousand pounds load.
A writer in a recent number Of the
Railway Gazette has affirmed: First
That q narrow gauge can be built and
successfully operated, where . broad
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1878-11-28

eaupe cannot. Second-That 1t can be
built from one.half to two'thirds OF the
cost of the standard gauge; aud, third
that it has equal capacity with the broad
gauge. at about two-thirls the cost OF OPP
eraiion. In regard to the fret assertion,
will only say that, If such a place can
be found, there and there only is the
proper location for a narrow gauge road;
but, in view of the tasks accomplished
in South America and elsewhere, 1t VIII
be difficult to discover region where
this remark will apply. deny that ,un'
der similar conditions, a narrow gauge
can be built for one half or two thirds OF
the cost of Il standard guage,
This has been shown, think, in the
preceding pages, and am ready to tllr-
nish further and complete evidence in
support of my position, should occasion
offer. Moreover, with the same cost OF
operation, a narrow gauge road can never
transport greater quantity of freight;
or, in other words, it will cost as much
to transporta million tons of freight on
a narrow gauge as on standard gauge
road; and if in the neighborhood of the
latter, the freight cannot easily be OBJ,
tanned at equal rates by the standard
gauge road.
Let any man who is seeking for invest
ment of capital in railway construction,
consult those who have operated both
classes of roads, and he will be advised,
almost invariably, that he will save very
little in cost of construction, equipment,
and operation, and that he will lose bust
ness from competition if he adopts the
narrow gauge. My experience in the
management of both classes of roads
does not therefore, lead me to conclude
that the multiplication of narrow gauge
roads will cheaper transportation until
the standard gauge roads are suppressed,
and even then the saving will be very
much less than is usually claimed.
