PACIFIC COAST EXTENSION OF
THE UNION PACIFIC.

OMAHA, Feb. l5.---Ihe tribune has
pointed out that the Union Pacific
Railway must eventually build an in-
dependent line to the Pfcifc Coast,
and information gained by your CORE
spondcnt is conclusive that this step
has been determined upon. and that Of
the three routes which have been un-
der consideration that heading to the
northwest has been chosen, the route
to Portland, Oregon, having been next
in favor. 1t is pretty we'll understood
that while the original project Of the
Union Pacific was to build from the
mi ial point of the Oregon Short Line
at Granger, Wy. l., (where it starts
from the main line). the Union Pacific
did not enter upon construction until
it had made surveys Of the three feas
ible routes west to Seattle, w. T., on
Puget Sound; another to Portland;
while the third traversed = middle
ground. However, Mr.. Willard Of the
o. r. l. N. Co. agreed to build
to Baker City, Oregon, and there con-
uect with the Union Pacific, following
the course Of the Columbia from Port.
land to Umatilla. Sincs tina. time Mr..
Willard has becom the holder Of large
amount Of Northern Pacific stock, aud
it has been apparent that he was not
anxiors to carry out the arrangement,
but instead has placed force of 800
Chinese laborers at woI K east Of Baker
City and in territory naturally falling
to the share of the Union Pacific, the
lahorers being now engaged in making
a road to Boise City, Idaho. The idea
of running line into the interior OF
Oregon and no further has boen one
that the Union Pacific could not
"abide," and already it has large force
of surveyors busy at different points on
the proposed route between Baker City
and Seattle. The Oregon Short Line
when built through to the latter point
will be about 1900 miles in length,
or about ITO miles longer than the
Union Pacific main line from Omaha
to Ogden. The Oregon Short Line ii
now completed from Granger to Sho

Force of surveyors now Work
Ing on tho Route to the Coast.
One of the most gigantic and import
ant pieces of railway work now in pro-
cess of construction in this country, is
the Union Pacific company's Oregon
Short Line, considerable attention to
which has been given from time to time
in these columns. As originally pro-
iected, The road was to be built by the
Upisn Pacific people, from Granger
main line northwest ward to Baker City,
at which point connection was to be
made with the Oregon Navigation
Company's line. Lstterly, however,
difficulties j have erisen which render the
scheme impracticable, and it has
FALLEN THROUGH.
Willard, who is the controlling gen.
ius of The Oregon Navigation Company,
having BECOME heavily interested in
The Northern Pacific, suddenly deteim-
ined that he did not want to carry out
the proposed arrangement in regard to
the meeting of the two roads at Baker
CITY, and he now has force of 500
Chiueses laborers at work in canyon
fully 100 miles east Of that point, it
being his evident intention to extend
the Oregon Navigation Company's road
at least to Boise AS an offset to this
which would rob the Union Pacific o.

along the proposed route, and the large
prospective business attendant upor
it's settlement, the latter company ha
now determined not only I cempl Il
the Oregon Short Line to Baker City
but to push on to
THE PACIFIC COAST.
As an earnest of this intention
large force of surveyors are now a
work between Baker City and Seattl
on the Sound, which is the ohjectiv
point, and the road will be built as fas
as possible This road, when complet
ed, will be about | 200 miles in length
or some 200 miles longer than tn
Union Pacific main line between Oma

Wit and ElOquence.

r. Where the traveller now encounters
one beggar in Ireland, fifty years ago
he would have met with fifty. The
towns and villages swarmed with them.
A tourist in those days was alternately
moved to tears by sights of misery, and
to laughter by bursts of genuine wit.
The wit was mixed with blarney, which
so delicately fattered, that offense was
out of the question. Mr.. S. G. Hall il
Illustrates the perfection with which an
Irish beggar used what we Americans
call "soft-sawder," by an incident that
happened while he was visiting Maria
Edgeworth, the popular Irish writer.
He was driving with her one day, and
the carriage, as soon as it stopped, was
surrounded by beggars.
"You know I never give you any
thing" she said to one, who was plead
ing for gift. As quick as a flash
came the answer:
80, the Lord forgive We, Miss Edge
worth! that's the first lie we liver told"
"Good luck to your ladyship's happy
face this morning!" said another of the
group. "Sure you'll lave the light
heart in me bosom before we gop"
30, then look at the poor who can't
look at you, my lady," pleaded blind
man; 'the dark man that can't see If
your beauty is like your sweet voice."
80, the blessing of the wildly and
five small children, that's waiting for
your honor's bounty, be wild you on
the roadr' called out mother to Mr..
Hall, as she led forth her fatherless
children.

The Duluth Times of last Satur

The Duluth Times of last Satur
day belches forth again, and devotes a
full column to President Willard and
the management of his road In one
place it says" 1t has been charged
that the Northern Pacific offered to
pay fifty cents ten more on iron
landed at the Superior docks than at
the docks in Duluth" and holds it up
as crime for Mr.. Willard to do such
thing, whereas it should be pointed
to as an argument in Mr.. Wizards
favor as wise fnancier, and as work.
ing for the best interests of his COM
pany. Without doubt he can pay
this fifty cents a ton extra and
then make money for his company
by having his iron delivered
on the Superior docks in the simple
item of transportation out from the
two places where it all goes to the
west, and much more than this for
the iron to be used on the eastern ex-
tension of the road. One engine will
take as much iron from Superior to
the Junction as two engines can take
from Duluth to the Junction. This is
very important item in favor of Su-
perior, and is no discrimination against
Duluth, but plain business transact
ion, as Mr.. Willard as the head man
ager of the road is bound to respect,
or be unworthy to be trusted with the
vast sums of money placed in his
hands by his hackers The bondhold-
ers might justly find fault that this
royalty has so long been paid out to
bolster up Duluth, but Duluth has nc
right to find fault with the reform.

a Rich Find.

Duluth Herald.
Some prospectors who have been on
the hunt for precious metals on the
north shore think they have struck a
big bonanza. Recently they found
d piece of float, weighing six pounds,
which upon examination proved to be
two-thirds copper and one-third silver.
They Immediately commenced a search
for the mother vein and they claim
their efforts haye met with success
they returned to this city and yester-
day managed to secure the land on
which the mineral was found. They
brought the piece of float discovered
with them. Should the trace prove
one-tenth as rich as the float they
showed they have veritable bonanza.

In other words" says the Duluth
Times in its column of fault finding
with MIR. Willard and the n. P. Road,
''the present management treats Du-
luth as a wayside station, and gives it
no more recognition than it can help"
Well, when you come down to facts
what is Duluth but "wayside sta
tion?" By rail connection Duluth is
now twenty-five miles from the main
line of the n. p Road, and by water
eight miles, via Superior. Duluth is
in no wise connected with or is any
part of the main line system of this
road, and the sooner her asinine ed
itors cease to talk about being the lake
terminus of the ''main line" the better
for the place. Mr.. Willard evidently
knows way station when he sees it.
