~ philadelphia Times
John F. Hartranft has retired from a term
of gallant service in the army and of gen
orally very creditable service in the highest
civil positions of the State, that has covered
the period of his most vigorous manhood, and
it is known that he left the Gubernatorial
chair without fortune. He has been tender
ed the postmastership of Philadelphia by
President Hayes, after having won major
generals stars in the field by his courage
and skill as soldier; after having
been twice elected auditor general;
after having been twice elected
chief magistrate, and after having been
presented by his State for the presidency in
the convention that nominated Hayes. His
pecuniary circumstances will probably re-
quire him to accept the postofice in disre-
gard of the very general feeling in this com
munity, and throughout the State, that he
eminently deserves position of greater dig.
nifty and emoluments.
Within the last few days it has been sug-
gested that the people of Philadelphia
should give to Governor Hartranft, with
their own high seal of authority, position
that would be worthy of him and afford a
compensation commensurate with his claims
upon the public. The postof6ce pays only
$500 year, and requires all the labor and
care that an intelligent and methodical man
can give it. The sheriff's Office pays $4,000
year, and would be no more exacting upon
man of Governor Hartranft's prudence
and fidelity than the postofice. Between
the two positions all will readily assent to
the assumption that the Office of sheriff is
the one for which Governor Hartranft should
be named.

The Railroads building Tracks to Ran
Through the Second Story of the Build
tngs.
minneapolis Cor. Railway Age, Feb. Is.
The facilities for reaching the milling dis
trict have heretofore been limited, one or
two Of the roads having had no track there
to, but now all the lines are represented,
many of the mills having tracks at both
front and rear. The fight between the roads
for. supremacy has been hotly contested, and
has necessitated the outlay of immense sums
of money which will result in great saving
to the mills in carriage, but will only entail
additional expense for repairs and mainten-
ance upon the railway companies. The Chi
cago Il Northwestern, through local organ
ization, has built an expensive line over a
| mile in length, along the river bank in the
| rear of some of the largest mills on the tails
1t is understood that the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul will use track jointly with the
Northwestern, thereby reaching q large num-
Der of the leading mills, which both compa-
MES have heretofore been unable to approach
/ by direct track. To Offset this advantage
the Minneapolis & St. Louis company secured
the right of way over the canal, which is
lined on both sides with mills, and has CON
SCIuCteU d UOuD10 LiitCKs elevated railway,
reaching to the second story front of the same
mills. f'nti
This gave the latter company access to all
the mills and elevators, with the exception of
the new elevator recently built in the rear of
the Wasibnrn OBJ mill. How to reach this
elevator was a problem, but the enterprise
and inventive genius of the managers over
came the difficulty, presenting novel fea-
ture in railway construction, and as we'll in
mill architecture. The elevator could only
be reached from the south, and directly in
the line stood the foundations of the new
Washburn "a" mill, which is to be com
pleted for the coming crop. The track could
| not be laid around the foundations, but the
| elevator must be reached. Plans were drawn
| providing for an opening through the second
story of the mill of sufficient size to allow a
train of cars, locomotive and all, to pass
through. This track has already been built,
and when the mill is completed that far, the
''ho1e'' will be built around it. The track
then crosses the street on a tramway and
runs between the "B'' mill and the elevator,
atfording splendid facilities for the handling
of both grain and flour. This track will &C
commodate, inside of the ga" mill, six or
| eight cars, which can be loaded or unloaded
at the same time from either side of the
opening.

That evening Blummer hurried through

took it, hastily unfolded it and then. as his

INTERESTING RELICS.
Gary Interstate.

In digging a well on his claim, Mr..
Lewis Shampine found several things
which ind lcste that the aspect of this coun.
try is not what it was in the long ago. Al a
depth Of fortv-six feet he found a chunk Of
willow wood, not vet petriied, it being as
brittle. and the fibre breaking as if 1t had
been w%ater-logged but a few years. He
also found a huge log, nearly " feet 10
diameter, which be cut through with an
ak, but did not learn its length. This was
some forty feet below the surface, and not
begun pe,r,ication. He also found a bit of
chalky substance, one end OF which was en-
circled with a serrated edge Of peculiar
shape, which was plated with something
resembling German silver when first taken
out, but on exposure the plating became de.
tached. 1t now has the appearance OF
pearl. But the strangest discovery made
by him, is u small bronze Article, one-fourth
of an inch 10 length, the diameter being M
greater than a pin or the larger end. II
tapers somewhat. and on the smaller enc is
a star-sha2ed point, which makes a TRAN
gular impression Of three points. What u
use was, we are unable to determine, and
leave il to some one better versed In arch
geology. The article III question was dis
covered thirty-six feet below the surface
He also found u piece of petritied bone, anc
pieces of drift coal of a fine quality. These
articles are all on exhibition 1T our office.

Another Interpretation Of the interior de-
partment order requiring white men to
leave the Indian country bordering on the
Missouri river is that it includes the entire
river from Choteau creek to the headwaters,
wherever Indian reservations touch the
river. This order enforced would practi-
cally suspend all steamboat operations on
the Missouri river, within the Indian
country. Boats are supplied with wood by
these white men and to cut Oft the fuel
supply would render their operation i'm
possible. The order is q most pernicious
one and should be revoked without delay.
It can accomplish no good and will be pro.
ductive of much injury to the government,
to private shippers and TO steamboat own
ers.

DAKOTA IN

Among the measures important and in.
teresting to the people Of Dakota, which
we're introduced by or at the instance of
Judge Kidder and made into laws through
his efforts are the following:
An act for the relief Of settlers on rail-
road lands. Published in full in a pre-
vious issue.l
An act for the relief Of homesteaders,
&c. 1.-THE substance of this enactment was
published In a previous ISSUE.
An act TO create an additional justice Of
the supreme court of Dakota.
An appropriation Of $4,000 to survey
the Missouri river to Fort Benton. Here
tofore Missouri river appropriations applied
only to improvements from the mouth Of the
river to Sioux City, and where improve
ments were needed in Dakota it became
necessary to employ private means. The
government will now pay the expense Of
this work..

themselves-naturally regard the
newcomers with friendly interest
and wish them godspeed. The
man who opens up farm upon the
rich prairie is engaged in an enter
prise which is not only blameless,
but in some respects heroic. He
descends into the arena and Crap
Piles at first hand with the forces of
nature, and wresth a portion of the
earth from the empire of waste and
solitude. He makes an investment
not only for himself but for his chill
dren after him, and becomes Il ben

is the fountain from which flows the
purest and best elements of our
civilization. The prosperity of the
farms not only means permanency
to business and stability to all ma.
terial interests, but enlists respect
and sympathy as parental
source of Wholesome moral forces
from which the cities and the ma
