SAN Francisco, Sept. ia Bulletin
New York; special says a Wall street
stakeholder. speaking of the bill under
consideration in the New Hampshire Leg
islsture to incorporate the Southern Pa
cific Company, asks why go to New Hamp-
shire. To obtain the answer is very
simple. Because it could not be obtained
any where else. The came thing in slightly
different form was tried last Winter at
Washington, but Congress unanimously
sat down on the scheme. Under ordinary
circumstance parties interested would
have sought their charter in California or
Texas, or in some Of the Territories
through which the road passes. The
trouble with that method would be that it
would be applying for aid too near home;
hence it applied to New Hampshire, which,
If successful, will empower the corporation
to go into the State Of Texas. and under
the law Of this country. within her bor-
ders, do what that State prohibits corpora
tons of her W creation from doing.
