inevitable exposure oi v"'" P'
II tolls him that this course and that
course leads through a void OF empty
purpose to the ultimate scorn OF MI MS
followers; that this Ftepo or that step Is
out upon an unfirW walk. and shortens
the distance between reason and folly;
that he had better beware Of the treach-
cry OF unwarrsnted fabrication, and, be-
holding the true way Of progress, go on
with some hope OF developing his e.
forts into truth that the world cnn see
and attribute to his zeal. But We can
not account for the strange doings OF
some men, and tho oOd River pepper
that one gear ago devoted IT'S columns
20 great acclamatons Of the benefits In
4 railroad terminus, building its worry
life and hope apparently upo9 thc ga I
vent Of SO great stimulus, bat which
now plays In another key and wouldn't
have railroad terminus for anything
II inst such n concern, Here are some
Of its .undispuiable fssts,' published
several weeks ago;
We are firmly convinced TINT the rail
way will not be extended beyond Hntiry
until another road comes IN here. This
cannot be for ut least three years. Wood
River Times.
The 'onIy paper on Wood RIVER made
this statement; paper that always
knows what II is talking abouttO II
published .Irade Of speh copyincingtO
remarks, but II II Ia AIS only Toliable)
paper on Wood River" facts don't tell.
Again, the BEST Of authoritytO
Hugh G. Wallace. Secretary OF tho | X
o. LII. Co.. arrived from Denver to-
day. At the annual meeting OF the
company the old officers were re-elect-
I'D, but the directory was strengthened
by the addition OF j. W. Morse, General
Passenger Agent of tho Union Pacific
.ys:s.s,, The.a.a A. Mellow, General
Manager o! the Lighter Railway Com
pany Of Pennsylvania, aud s. 4. Taylor,
4 Kansas Manufacturer. Mr.. Wallace
pooh pools the idea ol the railway OK
tension beyond HALEY, aud says that
such a thing has never been nRitafed or
considered by the Hoerd Of Directors Of
the Union Pacific halfway for more than
IA months Last winter. during the an-
nual meeting OF the u. r. directory In
Boston, President Caldwell and Mana
ger Strnhorn spent two weeks In Boston
and New York, and having asked the
tt.... T.k
piled TINT such thing WIS not eontens-
plated nor would II be till such time as
!. became necessary to build up TO the
Yankee Fork country Times, May 18th,
OF course the question was never dis
cussed, because the s'only paper said
80: but then they afe building the rail-
road just the same. Tho "only'
editor ON Wood River gets the best OF
au,horitytO from Mr.. strahoin who
said:
''That there Is not the slightest prob,
ability of the railroad being continued
10 Ketchum. bnye rasn both Mr. dill
Ion and Mr.. Ames, d0ring the past few
nays. and know that the road viii not ~
30 Ketchum. The propositions made by
the Philadelphia Company have not
even been entertained - Times.
Not Bnt when tho ketchum bound
train rushcs by Hniley with the COW
whistle turned loose, tho '.only" editor
will think he has Just awoko from 0
dream and ia visiting his relatives in the
back woods of Canada. Again;
At Pooatella. last Tuesday, Mr.. bod
bridge. who is spoken of as tho probable
successor Of s IL II t'lurk in The geuer
al management of the Union pacltic sys
tenn Of roads, declared, Ia the most en-
phatie manner, TINT the railway wcult
hot be built to kc,cham. Tunes, -.
Mr. Doddridse was naughty man /,
fool the "only' editor that way, Blu
he settles the question here:
The question OF tliecxtention % tn,
railroad beyond HALEY may be consid
cred settled. The Surveying pnrt,
which came here some time ago for TIL
ostensible purpose of running the line
were In the Held one day only. whei
they were directed to discontinue worl
nnd await further orders. Shines, Mn.
2ssh,
This is the only paragraph we eve
ge.d in the organ that looked reasona
BILE. The further orders" have beel
given. And there Is weeping M
wailine and knasbing OF teeth" insth
''xir chamber" Now let's wind up wit
two extracts TINT don't quite agree.
With the terminus ut HALEY, all Of /
000 head OF animals are kept on tho roa
to Ketchum during the busy seaso,
These animals require hay, grain, etc
not to mention the wagons needed
transportation, the requirements
teAmsters etc. All this has to
brought in by rail TO HALEY, Mt payin
rates for the railway. Should the roa
be extended tt ketchum, all this tr,ff
would be swept sway.-Times, in Ma,
But it fops over:
The railway extension will be ben,
Ht to us, because il will be an addition
incentive to us to exert ourselves
keep this the leading city OF this groy
Ing Territory and future State.-Time
in June.
Hs, ha! "An incentive to MS to exc
ourselves" Yes AN INCENTIVE; and Il
sIRos6EsI INCENTIVE THAT EVER sEIzI
foUR MORTAL oIzzARD. But hopele
incentive.
