An Unusual Scene

was presented in the house, Mon
day. Alex. Stephens vas rolling
about in his wheel chair, delivering
a speech on the acceptance OF the
Coliamer statue. The members
all gathered around him with bend
ed pastures and solemn visage as il
the thought of death was on every
mind. Entire silence prevailed,
and now and then when Mr.. Steph-
ems endeavored to lift up his voice,
it had a shrieking sound as though
of dying agony The scene was OF
q remarkably solemn character.

Men and animal are able to sustain them
selves for long distances in the water. and
would do 50 much oftener were they nor in
capacitated, in regard to the former, at least,
by sheer terror, as well as complete ignor-
ance OF their real powers. Webb's wonder
full endurance will never be forgotten. But
there are other instances only less remarka-
Bile. Some years since, the second mate of
q ship fell overheard while in the act of fix
ing a sail. 1t was blowing fresh the time
was night, and the place was some miles out
in the stormy German Ocean. The hardy
fellow nevertheless managed to gain the Bri-
fish coast. Brock, with a dozen other pi-
lots was plying for fares by Yarmouth and
as the main sheet was Delayed, a sudden puff
Of wind upset the boat, when presently all
persisted except Brock himself, who, from
four in the afternoon of an October evening,
to one the next morning, swan thirteen
miles before he was able to hail 8 vessel at
anchor in the ofing. Animals themselves
are capable Of swimming immense distances
although unable to rest by the way. "A dog
recently swan thirty miles in America to re-
join his master. A mule and a dog washed
overheard during a gale in the Bay Of Bis
cay have been known to make their way to
shore. A dog swan ashore with q letter in
his mouth at the Cape of Good Hope. The
crew of the ship to which the dog belonged
all persisted, which they need not have done
had they only Ventured to tread water as the
dog did. AS 9 certain ship was laboring
heavily il the trough of the sea, It was found
needful, in order to Tighten the vessel, to
throw some troop-horses overheard, which
had been taken in at Corunna. The poor
things, my informant, a staff-surgeon in
formed me, when they found themselves
abandoned, faced around and swan for
miles after the vessel. A man on the East
coast Of Lincolnshire saved quite a number
of lives by swimming out on horseback to
vessels in distress. He commonly rode an
old grey mare, but, when the mare was not
to hand, he took the first horse that offered.

by sporting men better than 2:10II on a mile

that in the former case the turns are much

Sales OF Northern Pacific Hands.

The Northern Pacific railroad land agent
for the Pen d'Orrille, Cascade and Pacific
Divisions, states that the amount Of sales for
the months Of May, 1881, on the first named
division at $3.50, 1913. Sc against $12, 034. 95 for
the corresponding period of last year. Sales
On the Pen d'Oreille division began Novem-
Der Goth, 1879, and up to the Goth Of May
had reached an aggregate Of $b721, 1898. "a,
The means for building this division were
provided independently Of and prior to the
syndicate loan Of forty millions. A mort
gage was created providing for the insur-
nee Of construction bonds to the amount Of
81, 500, 900, receivable at par in payment for
lands. About $500, 900 of these bonds have
been received in payment for lands and re-
tired, and the residue Of this portion of the
grant amounts to about 5 1000, 900 acres. IT
is estimated that fully one-half Of this re-
mainder can readily be sold within the next
five years at So 80 per acre, and the entire
grant Of this division will realize about
49, 900, 600.
Of the lands on the Pacific division more
have been sold during May Of this year, than
in any month during the three years past.

RAILWAY NEWS.
The Iron Belt and Iss Extension through
Montana.
TSalt Lake Tribune. |

While Utah is rejoicing in the advent Of
one new railroad and the early contemplated
construction Of several new lines, it may be
of interest to know that Montana is already
nearly as much cut up by the railroads now
built and projected as our own Territory.
The Northern Pacific has its line located
nearly all the way from Bismarck to Mon
tana, and the Union Pacific is working il
what is known as Jefferson Canyon, the stra-
getic point between Dillon and Helena. A
large force of men and teams is engaged. in
making the dirt fly in that locality, and the
grading in the canyon is about completed.
This would indicate the intention of the
Union Pacific to build the line to Helena at
no distant date.
AS has been announced the terminus Of the
Utah Northern was moved on the 25th ult.,
from Dillon to Melrose. All mail and pas
sengers for Helena and the east side OF the
Territory now go from Dillon, and mail and
passengers for Butte, Deer Lodge and the
west site 60 via. Melrose.
Track laying is going on with vigor be
tween Melrose and Butte, the work Of gra-
ding being rapidly pushed into the latter
city. We are Informed by reliable authority
that the new line will be finished to Butte by
the middle of September, thus bringing it
within thirty hours ride Of Salt Lake City.
Some Of our Salt Lake merchants and bust
ness men are discussing the propriety Of hay-
ing a grand excursion to Butte on the COM
pletion of the road, and no doubt the Butte
merchants will return the call in the same
manner.
With the progress to be made in the COM
ing year in Utah, and that in the adjoining
Territory, the next two years will see the in
ter mountain making vast strides in the di-
rection Of increasing business, growing pop
ulation and the general tide Of prosperity.

Some complaints have been made
that the sums reported on hand, from
time to time, to the credit Of these
funds, are unnecessarily large; but it
should be remembered that the officers
charged with the care of these funds
must comply not only with the written
law regulating their management, but
also with the predominating public SEN
tlment. This sentiment, as exemplifed
IL many acts of successive legislatures,
unmistakably favors the policy of loan
ing these funds to school districts,
towns, villages, cities and counties; but,
except in the cases of school districts,
such loans cannot be made without

Message Supplement !
GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The following annual message was
read before the Wisconsin legislature.
by His Excellency, Governor VIM. +.
Smith on Thursday Jan. 18th:
FeLow Citizens Of the Senate and Assem-
big.
The past year has been fruitful in
abundant harvests; and everv form Of
industry has yielded remuneratiye re-
turns. Public order has been main
tanned without interruption, in all parts
of the state, and there has not been, in
any locality, even the fear Of tumult.
The various educational, benevolent
and penal institutions of the state were
never in better condition, or more ade
quately prepared to meet the public ne
cessities and expectations land whatever
criticisms may have been made upon
methods and details of management,
no suggestion has come to my knOwl-
edge, of anything affecting the integ-
ritv or the purity of motives Of any
officer connected with their manage
ment.
Complying with the command Of the
constitution, which requires the COVER
nor to communicate to the legislature,
ut every session, the condition of the
state, and recommend such matters to
them for their consideration as he may
deem expedient," / have followed my
custom ofprevious years, and invite your
attention to statement of the facts
and the figures which exhibit the econ
dition of the state" and, with but little
elaboration, argument or comment,
suggest the more important matters
which demand your consideration.

special laws authorizing them. IF this
system of loans is to be continued, it
seems to me altogether expedient that
a general law should be enacted, au-
thoriZing the commissioners of public
lands, subject of course to such condi-
tlons and restrictions as may be neces-
sary, to make these loans. Three use
full purposes would be thus subserved.
The time of the legislature would not
be taken up with the consideration of
innumerable special acts authorizing
loans; q much needed uniformity in
the manner of making the loans and
collecting the payments of principal
and interest would obtain, and loans
could then be made, from time to time,
when needed, and the necessity for re-
tanning large balances in the treasury
would disappear.
The balance to the credit of the gov
ernOr's
CONTINGENT FUND,
January l, 1880, was $3.50 81. The ex-
penditures chargeable to this fund du-
ring the calendar year, have been
81 ,O66.27, but in this sum is included
$465.00 advanced to the committee in
vestigating the affairs and management
of the Wisconsin State Hospital for the
Insane, to enable them to meet some
of the expenses of that investigation.
In view Of the condition of this fund at
the present time, and the possible de-
mands upon it for the pres ent year, /
recommend that the sum of $4,000 be
appropriated thereto at this session.
PTBLIC INDEBTEDNESS.
The aggregate Indebtedness of the
state is the same as at the close of the
last fiscal year, namely: $2,252, 057 co.
and will doubtless so remain for years
to come. The Indebtedness represents
in part the contributions Wisconsin
made, during the war, for the preser-
walton Of the nation, and the annual
payment of interest thereon will be an
annual reminder of that struggle and
the causes which led to it~-themes to
which neither we, nor those who come
after us, can too frequently recur. The
forms of this Indebtedness have been
somewhat changed, by taking up nine
of the eleven bonds outstanding a year
ago, and substituting therefor, certifi-

Compared with the expenditures of
the preceding fiscal year, there is an
increase of 1924, 703O1; but of this sum
$4,000 were paid to Milwaukee county
on account Of the construction of its
insane asylum; and an excess of $40, :
1858 was paid on account of appro-
Driations to hospitals, benevolent and
educational Institutions; so that only
$6,917.33 remains to be charged to cur
rent state expenses proper, and is more
than accounted for in the increase of
legislative expenses.
