view Of the matter to q dot.
Send it in.--An exchange pointedly
puts it this way: ..Send us the news.

for some other person to report it, or

we would say that Mr.. Burg constantly

Editor Reriezc:
Now that our School Board has been
authorized by our citizens to .eNpend
from Is to 10000 dollars for new
school house, l hope they will have a
building put up, which will at once be
a credit and al ornament to the city;
and at the same time that they will use
every means at their command tohaye
it done as cheap as possible, and
would say right here; III order to do
this, the competition Of experienced
builders in the State should be called
into the field. 10 have the heating and
ventilation perfect, it must be done by
builders Of experience. The members
of our School Board being known as
public spirited citizens, do not appre-
bend for one moment, but that every
thing will bedone to get up;a school
building second to none in the State.

NARROW GAUGE.
Prospects of the Des Moines and Min
neapolis Narrow Gauge Railroad.

neapolis Narrow Gauge Railroad.
Correspondence of the Pioneer Press.
AMEs, Iowa, January 25, 1873
If you will allow me, [ will give in
brief what has come to my notice
here in regard to this road in which
Minnesota, as well as Iowa, is very
much interested. This road has
been in operation for some time from
Des Moines to Ames, where it con-
meets with the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad. The road is well
equipped, with good passenger
coaches and box and fiat cars, doing
a good business, and up to this date
not single accident to the passen-
gers or any stock upon the road;
makes about the same time as broad
gauge roads. The distance from
Des Moines to Ames is 80 miles. At
present writing trains run as far as
Stony, about twelve miles, and with
in one week from now will go 90
miles northwest, within fifteen miles
Of Webster City, on the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, where it will cross or
form a junction; this will be done
early in the spring. The name of
this road. as operated, is the Des
Moines & Minneapolis railroad.
From Webster City the line contin-
ues northwest to Humboldt: in a
northwest direction to Minneapolis.
crossing IN its line the Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad, Iowa division, at
A|gona; the Southern Minnesota at
Winnebago City; Chicago & North
western, Winona and St. Peter di.
vision, at New Ulm: st. Paul & Sioux
City railroad, at Lake Crystal. It
will be seen at a glance at the map
that this road goes through some Of
the best country of Iowa and Min
nesota. Its advantages can be seen
at once. The road can be built
cheaply, does not cost half as much
to run it after built, it's capacity is
very little less than broad guage; coal
can be sent north and west from this
line, and in return lumber would come
direct to just the country it is wanted;
and then the connections with all the
above roads (a1ld others not men
tioned) would be an advantage to
to trade and the travelling public.
Mr.. J. j. Smart, the superintendent
of this road, is very energetic man,
and is doing all he can to push the
road through to completion.
4. p. Hurley, the civil engineer,
is busy getting up maps
and drawings, and doing the work
that deyolves upon an engineer Of a
new line, and is very much interest
ed in his work. At St. 10, Missouri,
the work has already commenced
upon a narrow gauge, with Des
MONIES as its terminus; so when this
| is completed, and the Des Moines &
Minnesota railroad is completed to
Minneapolis and St. Paul, this will
be a long and profitable route to
Missouri, and one over which, in
summer, there Will be large pas
senger traffic, as we'll as freight.

gauge railroads. Just see the work

A Candidate for States Prison.

The morning train over the Maine Central
due here at S.35 escaped from serious accident
Monday. As the train was between Freeport
and Yarmouth Junction and within about o
mile from the latter place the engineer saw q
large sleeper on the track He whistled down
brakes and almost stopped before he reached
the obstruction SO that no accident occurred.
The sleeper was so placed that it would be i'm
possible for an engine going at full speed to
knock it one side without throwing the train
from the track. The place selected was one
of the worst on the road being on q high en-
bankment down which the train could have
rolled on either side. The train was an nm.
usually large one and if the obstruction had
not been discovered as soon as it was the con.
sequences are terrible to think of.
On the arrival of the train in this ctv
Detective Head was notified and at once went
to Yarmouth. Near the place where the
sleeper was found he ascertained that lust
before the train arrived strange boy was
seen to run up the track and called at house.
Mr.. Head followed the trail and arrested a
boy named Eugene w. Humphrey who was
identified as the lad seen on the premises.
He denied all knowledge of the affair at first
but when confronted with SO much proof ad-
mitted that he placed the sleeper on the track
just to see it jump when the engine reached
it. He is boy IA years of age and lives 10
North Yarmouth. He did not appear disposed
to talk about the affair. The lad was taken
before Justice Charles Humphrey and bound
over to the September term of court in the sum
of $500. His arrest did not disturb him in the
least and even when locked up in the Jail in
this city he was not disconnected in the least.
The detective got an idea that he was a hard
casa and there can be but lIttls doubt that he is
rioht

The annual report of the directors of the
Portland, Saco and Portsmouth Railroad shows
the affairs of the corporation to be in much
better condition than at any time for several
years previous. The supplemental agreement
with the Eastern Railroad, made May 81, 1877,
which explains the contract of March 4, 1871,
went into effect just year since. By this
placed on more satisfactory basis. The in
debtedness, consisting of notes of $4,000,
Endorsed by the Eastern Railroad, has been
provided for by the Eastern Railroad Company,
relieving this company from all concern about
liability, which may now be regarded as the
debt of the Eastern Railroad, and which is
provided for and will be paid within three
years. This will render the Portland, oaco and
Portsmouth Railroad free from all debt. The
semi-annual dividends of 3 per cent. have been
promptly paid The suit of the Boston and
Maine Railroad against the Portland, Saco and
Portsmouth Railroad for bettermentS upon the
road, and the suit of the Portland, Saco and
Portsmouth Railroad against the Boston and
Maine Railroad for unadjusted freight balances,
have been settled. ALI questions affecting the
financial condition of the road have been defin-
itely disposed of and the property relic we'd
from all suits of every nature. The road prop
erty is in better condition than last year. About
III miles of steel rails have been laid and 5000
new ties put down. All renewals are with
steel rails, aud ere long the entire main track
will be of steel. About 10 miles of new fence
have been built during the year. The settled
condition of the affairs of the road with the
e. r. r. gives promise that the existing con-
tract will be permanent one.
