portion of the State was entitled to the
honor. Yes, we presumed to think all
this. but it was a cheeky piece Of pre-.
sumtion on our part, to express our
views until the ''slate makers" had
been heard from, and we feel guilty.
Their fiat has gone forth, and it reads
"Pillsbury and third term" We,
of course, are satisfied, but do feel aw-
fully cheap, when we consider into
what ridiculous position We allowed
our ideas to drag us. Now, then, all
hands up for PillSbury.
Elsewhere we give the proceedings
of the railroad convention held at Sauk
Centre. 1t will be seen by referring
to the resolutions as adopted, that the
proposed line of road will pass through
the towns and territory which the TRI-
BUNE in previous article, considered
as the most feasible and practicable.
Perhaps there never has been a meas
ure of so great Importance before the
people of this county, and as there is a
large amount of money to be invested,
| part of which we will be called upon to
contribute, we must proceed cautiously
and carefully, for these reasons: II
the road is to be owned and controlled
by parties, whose interests centre at ST..
Paul or Minneapolis, then we don't
want the road, for we would be out
our bonus and have no benefits to show
for it. Again, if the rates from here
! to Duluth are to be very nearly as
high as by the present round about
route, then we had better remain as
! we are. While there are many reasons
for thinking that parties interested
might endeavor to control the road and
make it SubSerye their interests, vet il
is not very probable that this would
be the case. There are many reasons
! for the assertion that if the line is built
"we will be greatly benefited. Ir
the first place, it will bring us within
80 miles of a market. Second, it will
save to us On freights. Third, it makes
competition. Fourth, it will add to
the value of our property. If it bring:
us nearer to market, all will admit
We will be the gamers, and it must be
to our advantage. Little Falls has a
natural water-power capable of being
developed to an unlimited extent, and
if there is a necessity for such develop
ment, there are plenty of capitalist al
ways ready to embark in any paying
enterprise. Little Falls is nearer Du
luth than is Minneapolis, and conSe
quently the market would be better
and we would have the advantage O
the increase in price and also the de
crease in freight, for while it is but 8(
miles to Little Falls, it is l48 to Min
neapolis, and we may rest assured
neither the St. Paul & Pacific no
either of the cities at its terminus ART
going to loose our trade without an ef
fort to retain it. The sum asked i
two thousand dollars per mile, and al
though it may be quite large sum
yet it is more than probable that th'
benefits derived will amply repay an,
outlay. We will speak upon this sub
ject in our next issue and give fact
and figures to show how we will b
benefited.

Between twelve and one o'clock last
night a clever sneak thief attempted
to break in the boarding house or the
southwest corner of Main and Beale
streets. A gentleman on the outside
heard him, and, gathering revolver,
stepped out and fred at him, which
unfortunately only had the effect Of
soaring him away. The watchman at
the street car stables heard the shot
and saw the thief making his escape,
blew his alarm whistle. This brought
policeman and the watchman of the
Gait House to the scene. The Gait
House man ran the thief down Beale
street towards the river. He, seeing
that he was closely pursued, lodged
under an old wagon at Gabay's junk
house, hoping thus to escape arrest.
The policeman came up, and the thief
saw he was in tight place, and said
There is the man over there, at the
same time pointing at the Gait House
man. The doubling officer was not
thus to be deceived, and collared this
rascal, escOrting him to the lookup.

THE past year has been an extraor-
dinary one in respect to the revival Of
railway building, more miles of track
having been laid than in any year
since 1873, and probably more than in
that year. AS near as can be ascer-
tained 3O10 miles Of broad gauge
and 72S4 of narrow gauge railroads
have been constructed this year,
making total of 1881 miles. The
greatest amount of track laying has
been done in Kansas, which shows
nearly 500 miles of new roads, while
Minnesota follows with 39i, Iowa with
81, young Dakota with 22O, and old
Ohio with 213l, and so on. 1t is also
notable that nearly one quarter of the
total mileage-at least 729 miles-is Of
narrow gauge, showing that the mar
row gauge "delusion," as some call it,
has not yet run its course. Tennessee
is credited with 119 miles Of broad
gauge and 81 miles of narrow gauge
railroads built in 1879. This does
pretty well for State that pays no in
terest on its debt and is only taxed 10
cents on the one hundred dollars worth
ofproperty, after exempting one thou
sand dollars worth in the hands of
each tax payer.
