from the pen Of p. NJ. Hale, Esq, one en-
titled s In the Coal and Iron Counties of

the State.
You would not have space, Messrs. Edi-
tors, for a sufficiency OF extracts from
these books to indicate their great value.
They contain all the knowledge now at
| tainable and necessary on the subjects
| treated, presented in a clear and easy
manner, so as to be understood by every
reader. l observe by the city papers that
| that old and reliable journal, the Boston
| Post, speaks of these books in the highest
! terms.
| Persons who think OF immigrating to
North Carolina, or who On any account
would like to be acquainted with the re-
| sources of our State. and especially our
own citizens, ought to have these books.
1t such a thing were possible, l would
envy Mr.. Hale the honor he will win for
the noble efforts he has made in these
works to benefit and build up our dear old
mother State. And l wish had the phys
ical strength to emulate and initiate him
f, in this field Of labor.
Thanking youfor this space in your pa
per, am truly yours,

the work here and now. Henceforth the

of the Columbia, and the return, will be
made in nine days for the round trip,
which occupied the first explorers two
years ana half.
The prophecy and advocacy of a railroad
to our Pacific coast possession, to the Col
umbis river and to Puget's souId, follow
ed close upon the first introduction in this
country of this system of traffic and travel
AS early as 1884, when the arrival and de-
parture of railroad train had still some
thing of novelty even in Boston, village
physician in western Massachusetts, DR..
Samuel Barlow, the father of Mr.. Barlow,
of New York, well known on both sides the
Atlantic as an eminent solicitor, pressed
upon the attention of his countrynen, in
articles showing great forecast and sagac-
ity, the vast i'm portance and clear FEAST
bility of such an enterprise as that whose
com pletion we this day celebrate. He
writes in 1887: "My feeble pen would
fail me to expatiate upon the substantial,
time-enduring glory which would rebound
to our nation, should it engage in this
stupendous undertaking. DR..
Parker, distinguished missionary to the
Oregon Indians, who had repeatedly ira
versed the route, in 1888 and 1886, asserted
that there was no more difficulty in such
railroad than in one between Boston and
Albany, and prophesled that the time was
not distant when tours would be made
across the continent as they were then
made to Niagara. Willis Gaylord Clark,
in 1888, in an eloquent exposition of the
subject in a leading mag azine, asseverat+d
that 1.-THE reader liz now living who will

tinent." Penetrated with this feeling, the

1879, and succeeded by Mr.. Willard in
1881, as president, after a temporary oc-
cupancy of the place by Mr.. Barney. As
Mr.. Billings dates his connection with the
company from before the deluge, he will
be able to correct the impressions of any
who, in the glorious sunshine of to days
prosperity, may imagine it was not much
of q shower.
The restoration, however, of financial
confidence and strength, was by no means
immediate or unchecked. The preferred
stock after the reorganization commanded
only twenty five or thirty cents on the
dollar in Wall street, and at one time fell
to S. share, and the common stock to
81 80. Appeals to congress to aid its Sc
cnrities by guaranty of interest we're again
resorted to and again refused. But
in the meanwhile the good man
agement of the fragments of completed
road showed net earnings of some $780,
600 in 1876, and some 100000 in 1878.
This kept alive the organization and con-
firmed confidence. The merits of the route
and the value of the lands when the road
should be finished were courageously relied
upon by the experienced and able lnen who
put their own fortunes in the enterprise, to
attract the confidence of capital and give
credit to the bonds and value to the stock
of The road.
And, now, the food OF the tide of finan-
cial prosperity of the whole country fioated
this enterprise which its ebb had left
stranded. The resum ption of specie pay
ments by the government in 1879, the
r.p id conversion Of the public debt into
~, 4, 81 and 3 per cent. securities, the
rapid reduction of the debt itself, act at
liberty great amounts of capital

en- ployment of money These

time when you could count the friends of
the Northern Pacific almost on the fingers
of your two hands, and now 1 behold the
triumph of their faith. Now every body can
come and see this is the best line across
this continent, unequaled in its variety OF
resources. With magnificent wheat fields,
with cattle on thousand hills, with mines
in its mountains and ravines, with an as
founding wealth of timber, as yon will see
further on. on which in time this whole
country will have to depend, who can doubt
the future? Everything in these respects is
yet in the very infancy of development.
Then, as to scenery, you have had taste
Of it. Be prepared for still greater things
as you approach the Pacific coast And as
for climate, bear in mind it is in the regions
where you have ice and snug winters
you will find the toughest muscles, the
most vigorous brains, and the most earnest
homes. So, putting all things together,
who can fail to see that this great new
highway is to be marked all a.ong with
prosperous communities, with schools and
churches and high civilization? Who
can fail to see that it brings permanent
peace with the Indians; that no more Gus
tiers are to be killed, no more regiments to
here, new power and new wealth, and
new bond of unity to be added to our gov
eminent, and a new route opened to the
worlds commerce?
Things at the start are always, of course
little crude, but all is coming that has
been prophesied. And 1 wish all the friends
of the enterprise at the beginning, and all
who stood by it in the darkest days, and
all who have helped it on in the later
years, could be here to see the great con-
summation. How that railroad st. John,
who so early cried in the wilderness, Pre-
pare We the way" Asa Whitney would have
rejoiced! How, too. Governor Sttv NJ,
killed in the war, who survey ed this route
for the government in 1854 and 1855, and
on all occasions and everywhere
was its champion! How, too,
the first president Josiah Per
ham, who labored hard and died without
the sight of even the first spike! How,
too. the first engineer, Edwin F. johnson,
and the second engineer, w. Minor
Roberts, both men of the very highest
ability, and whose devotion to the enter
prise knew no bounds! But 1 cqnnot go

SEDALIA SLANDERED.
A Nevada Gentleman Who Has
it in for the Members of Our
Police Force.

The Nevada Mail of Friday contained
the following item, which is certainly
news to our police force:
81 see the Sedalia papers publish an ar
ticle rejecting on our police somewhat,
said H. c. Wolfe to Mail reporter the
other day. "Now I'll tell you what sort
of police they have in that burg. Last
fall while | was there at the fair / lost 10Y
pocketbook, containing valuable papers
and SlS5 in money. i advertised for It
and stated that whoever had it, for think
il was stolen from me, might retain the
money if the papers were returned l Of.
fered in addition a reward of $50. What
was my surprise on after the notice was
printed when policeman stepped up 10
me with the pocketboOk with the papers
and S85 in it. He had the 'galP to take
the SS5 and then demand the $50 reward
also. Now,when it comes to talking about
police, SedalIa ought to take back seat.

In the first place, the newspapers of Sc
dalia have never said word derogatory to
the members of the Nevada police force.
The BAzOo. few days ago, published the
statement of Pullman car conductor, in
which the gentleman gave it as his opinion
that the thieves who made Nevada their
headquarters stood in with the officers of
the law there The BAzoo took excep-
tions to the statement at the time, and
does not now believe there was ever any
ground for such an assertion on the part of
the conductor. In regard 10 Mr.. Wolfe
losing his pocketbook while visiting this
city, Marshal Shy says the book was found
by one of the special police who was on
duty during exposition week, and not by
member of the city force, and not a dollar
of the reward was received by the regu-
lar police. The Mail has evidently been
misinformed in this matter, and the BAzoO
feels satisfied a correction will be made
when the real facts are known,

Killed on the Z. & T..

From Tom Kennedy, Adams express
messenger, who came in from the south
last night, a BAzoo reporter learned that a
man, whose name was not known, was
killed twenty miles south of Vinita, on
the K. & T.. some time yesterday by being
struck and run over by train.
His body was seen by the side OF the
track BY the engineer OF the north-bound
passenger train. A stop was made and the
remains taken aboard and carried to
Vinita, where they were left with the
authorities. There were no papers on the
person of the deceased and nothing is
known regarding him.
