And Its Promoters-whiineJ. Perham
Cook. billings and Willard.
The dream Of 1885 becomes the reality
OF 1888. For it was torty.eight years age
that the construction OF railroad from
New York to the Columbia River was fra
proposed. and as early as 1916 merchant
Of New York, Asa Whitney, made pro
position to Congress to build road lrou
the great lakes 10 the mouth OF the Colum
bia, in consideration OF a land graft o.
sixty miles in width along the entire
route.
Josiah Perham, New England mer-
chant and reputed inventor oil cheap rail-
road excursions, was the man who 1t last
secured the charter, in 1854.
In December, 1865, he sold the franchise
to some New England capitalists for barely
enough to pay his debts, and died three
years later, before the first spadeiul OF earth
had been turned on the proposed road.
JAY COOKIES OPERATIONS.
No progress toward actual completion
was made until Mr.. Jay Cooke assumed
financial direction, obtained legislation au.
thorizing the issue Of bonds, and put the
bonds on the American market, being
prevented by the Franco. German war from
negotiating them in Europe. From the
spFing OF 1870 to the spring Of 1872 he sold
about Sc, ,0O0, 900 worth Of bonds.

An idea etruck Colonel Erley yesterday
morning which he Immediately had put
into execution, for which he deserves the
thanks Of every one who gets tired and
wants place to sit down occasionally. He
had seats placed around the outside OF all
the buildings and q number OF the trees.
Col. Robert Campbell, the General mana
ger, was on the 20 all the time yesterday,
seeing that the finishing touches were
properly made, and Secretary Hook-well,
how. that gentleman retained his senses,
answering all the questions he was Obliged
to, Is mystery,
The track 10 a thing Of beauty and a Joy
to horsemen-that Is, 1t will be as long as
1t Ia kept In the magnificent condition il
was found in yesterday. 1t has been nicely
worked and Is clean and level. Everyone
was singing its praises. II would have i'm
proved the appearance Of the grounds had
the grass inside the ring been moved. This
may yet be done. The grand stand has been
swept out nicely, something that should be
done everyday, by the way, and the old
familiar sign, "Please be seated when
others cit, stretch when stretching Is in
order" and Beware OF thieves and pick
pockets" are prominently and numerousiy
displayed. The Association pool boxes
where FraBk /. Hendrick, he OF the glib
tongue, will preEide, are at the north end,
as they we're last year. The south end Of
the stand, it should be borne in mind, is re.
served for ladies and their escorts.
ARRANGEMENTS IN DETAIL.
Machinery Hall is well filed with agri-
cultural implements, and the engine will
be started this morning. Last year a nail
machine was operated in this building and
proved q big attraction for the country
cousins. It. wouldn't have been bad
scheme to have had one there this year.
A police force Of sixteen has BET n appoint.
ed and sworn in by acting Mayor Wilkin-
son. They will be commanded by expo.
liceman Billy Rutherford. One OF their
duties will be TO enforce the rule allowing
no one but the reporter the second story
Of the judges stand. The space Is small
and any one attempting to enter thtr', who
has no business there will be considered
an intruder and treated % such.
The display in the main exposition
building Is going to excel those Of previous
years. The merchants who have space de-
serve credit for the tasty manner in which
they have fitted up.
The orchard Is going to be filled with eat
ing stands and side shows.
There will be no racing to-day, the s
minute slow trot having failed to FIJI. The
base ball tournament, however, will be
very interesting flair. Reference TO It and
the order oi playing will be found else
where. Tomorrow there will be three
Ro1d racet; a $50 trot with eight entries,
2;Ss pace with six entries and q run.

remark that the only apparent way in

the American tariff Is to reduce the price
Of his ware. OF course Suca reduction
means less wages, working on small and
therefore dangerous margins, and with
cheap money. 1t is obvious the scale oi
wages cannot bereduced; the raw'material
is already very cheap; all waste is put to

working on speil margins would CauSa

The Dcnyer New pncinc Line.

The New York Econoniist of February 10
thus speaks of the. new Pacific line: "Ar-
rangements for the opening of a new route
from Chicago to San Francisco, via Denver
and Ogden, are rapidly being completed.
The connechug link upon which the new ar
rangemcnt largely depends is the Denver &
Rio Grande read. The route will be from
Chicago to Denver via the Burlington line i;
from Denver to Ogden via the Denver 4 Rio
Grande road, and from Ogden to San Fran
cisco by the Central Pacific road. The ex-
tension of the Rio (irande road is progressing
rapidIy, and will be completed to Salt Lake
city by March 10, and to Ogden April l, when
the new line will be formally opened. II is
proposed to make this route the most popular
from Chicago to the Pacific coast, as it Ger.
tainly will be most picturesque, on account Of
the scenery that will be passed along the line
of the Denver & Rio Grande road. There will
be but two changes Of cars-onc at Denver,
and one at Ogden. The time from Chicago to
San Francisco will be the same as by the
other routes. Another attraction will be the
fact that Salt Lake and Denver will be sta
tions on this line, and among the objects of
interests TO be passed are two of the great
canons of Colorado. II is proposed TO run
dining room cars on this line MS soon as the
arrangements can be perfected. The change
at Denver and Ogden will be made in the
union depots there"

From the Silverton Herald.
William Sullivan has found good ore on
claim which adjoins the town-site on the

Parsell and Jardine own the Humboldt,
near the Yankee Girl, from which some fine
ore is shown.
A cave was struck in the Enterprise tunnel
lately, showing some very fine dark colored
copper mineral.
The Rough and Ready joins the Treasure
Trove, and the assessment now being worked
has developed some fine looking ore.
John B. Rowland has let a contract to
build cabin on the Cincinnati lode. He
will sink shaft 15O feet. This lode is near
the Congress.
Messrs. Murray, Twigg and others have
Just north of Red Mountain town, and within
the limits of the town plat.
Messrs. King, Casebolt and Wing own the
Silver Case, just east of the Yankee Girl, up
on which they have run 2S-foot cross-cut
and now intend to run 50-toot drift.
A great amount of stalking has been done
within the past two weeks, in the section ly-
ing between the Yankee Girl mine and Gray
Copper Falls creek. Some ore from one of
these locations assayed 3S PER cent. copper.
Work has beep resumed on the Acorn lode
by Gill, Howard and others. This property
is just west OF. the Hudson, and the owners
are running a cross-cut to intersect the vein.
The Enterprise is showing some fine min
eral, similar in appearance to the Hudson
ore. The cross-cut is now in about 95 feet.
They expected to have to run 10 feet, but
present appearances would indicate that they
have but few feet farther to run.
Casebolt and Vance are the owners of the
Galena Bolt, located on the western slope of
Red Mountain, about three-fourths of mile
from the Hudson mine The vein is six feet
wide at the surface. shaft has been sunk
% feet, from which a drift is being run, with
favorable indications for large body of pay
mineral within very few feet
The same gentlemen also own the Ida May,
west of and running at right angles with the
Galena Bolt. 1t shows similar mineral in
heavier quartz. They have shaft now down

Colorado. Exposition.
the Rocky Mountain News.

from tne ROCKY news.
The work of preparation for the second an
nual exhibit of the National Mining and In
dustrial association is progressing rapidly.
Favorable reports are coming in from the
mining States and Territories TO the west, and
even distant Mexico, soon to be closely
Joined to the Union of the States in COM
merce and travel sends letters of good cheer.
The empire of the Montezumas is likely to
occupy a prominent share of the mail build
ing with exhibit that will open the eyes of
the newer districts, where mining is only in
its infancy as compared with Old Mexico.
To accommodate the increased demands for
space in the main building proper, the man
agemcnt contemplate extending the left wing
TO u junction with the annex, thus making u
continuous large room 500 feet in length.
This improvement will concentrate the ma
chinery in the territory now covered by the
annex and the proposed new addition,
whicn will relieve the main building from
excessive noise, and giving the room now oc-
cupied in il by machinery, motive power and
shafting to smaller exhibits.
Montana, which is filling so large space in
the mining expectations of the present time,
promises to more than double its last years
exhibit. Idaho, Utah aud Wyoming will do
equally as well, while New Mexico and Ari-
zona are so completely satisfied with their visit
last fall that they will exert themselves in n
particular degree to largely exceed the exhib-
its each made ut that time, and from which
they have derived perceptiblc benefit. -.
1t goes without saying that Colorado will
not be laggard in the work SO well and so
ably commenced. BY the middle of July,
when the Exposition throws open its doors
to the world, every county in the State, and
each particular interest should be on hand
with a typical gathering of the best it can
show in the way of natural resources and in
dustrial products. No matter who else gains
benefit from this congress OF the metals, the
mining districts of this State cannot well
escape their share, while the farming and
coal lands are enhanced in value by reason of
the prominence it gives them in the way of

Repeal OF the Presumption Laws.

The pre-emption laws are no more. This
will not interfere with the acquisition of land
on the reservation, as the following, clipped
from the proceedings of Congress, shows:
The amendment was adopted, and is in its

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1883-02-08
Thinks Like Senator Gooch.

ADtnnt
The legislature has withdrawn from
market all school, asylum and univer-
sity lands until some law is passed
regulating their disposal OF retire
ment. " believe it is to the interest
of 10th the state and the school fund
that these lands should be sold as rap
idly as possible to parties who will
settle and improve them, at Il low
price and on long time ut s or Is per
cent interest. 1t is the settlement of
these lands and theirimproyement, in
duced by low price and favorable
terms, which renders them desirable.
Withdraw them from the market or
raise the price so high that it will
force the immigration to other states,
and the lands will not increase in
value. At one dollar per acre on
twenty or thirty years time, they will
be rapidly settled and cultivated.
One section at $40 now will fall
into the hands of some one who will
put IAN average of $500 worth of
improvements thereon and produce
wool, cotton or grain to the amount
of (average) $3.50 annually. So the
first year there would be an average
taxable property of $500 per section,
and increasing in value 10 per cent
per manufacturing itself twice in
the twenty years. The proposed lease
system would operate rs disadvantages
ously to the state as the withdrawal
from market. Very few people would
desire to improve leased land; there is
a natural born desire in Americans to
own u homestead, and if they cannot
get it is Texas they will go to those
states (Florida, Kansas, Dakota and
Others), which do offer settlers home
steads on good terms. Under the
proposed lease system, the large stock
men and corporations would control
the whole country, monopoliZe the
range and absorb the lesser stock in
terests, as they have done in two or
three counties in this and other states.
There is too much legislation already
in favor of the rich men and large
corporations; and we do not want to
record any such class legislation in
this land matter. Let these lands be
retained on the market for settlers. at
81 per acre for dry sections and 81 for
land on running water. Those prices
are high enough for wild lands. West
Texas has been prosperous because of
its cheap lands; exclude, by high
prices or otherwise, the immigration.
and there will be no increase in values,
no settlement and no further pros

has already resigned.
With the exception of Plon-PlOn
nearly all the members of both the Or
leans and Napoleon families are in the
army. some occupying high positions.
The Orleans princes offered their SER
vices to France during her greatest
disaster. and they were welcomed by
Gambetta and assigned to high posi-
lions. Since then they have certainly
committed no overt act that entities
the republic to cashier and discharge
them, and have indeed acted with
wonderful good sense in abstaining
from any cOnspiracies against the pre-
sent government.
OF the princes the Due de Charities
is a colonel at Rouen; his uncle, the
Due de NemouaS, is a general in
| the French army, and his son,
the Compile d'Eu, a marshal in the
army of Brazil. The Due dAlencon
is French captain of artillery; the
| Prince de JOinville Il rear admiral in
the French navy, and his son Pierre a
lieutenant, while the Due d'Aumale is
| a general of division.
1t will be seen that the Orleans
family hold three high offices in the
military service of France, two being
generals and one an admiral. From
these positions 1T is proposed to Gust

The young men in the Democracy
of Illinois have entertained IA very
kindly feeling of recent years toward
the Indiana Democratic leaders. They
gave Hendricks good support when
ever he came up for president. The
same class is again very well disposed
toward Mcdonald. There is an elder
class of Illinois Democrats which has
never since the Douglas days looked
favorably upon the Indiana leaders
You see the Wabash valley makes a
good deal of Illinois common country
with Indiana and induces neighborly
feeling. There Mcdonald is well
thought of and often comes
to practice law ut Springfield
and Chicago. and he is Il good,
fair lawyer, too. My idea is that the

around Tilden and Randall will go to
Mcdonald if they can get what they

they will take Il favorable view of

no intriguing in Illinois, and hardly
any west of it. You see that Ohio is
already getting into squabble for
