Some Progress.
Turf, Field and Farm.

The noted jockey James Mclaughlin, who
has been identified with the stable of the
Dwyer Bros. for half dozen years, bought
last week on Eighth avenue, Brooklyn, a
magnificent residence costing S25, 900, into
which he will soon be domiciled with his wi6e
and their little laughing young ones. Less
than ten years ago Mclaughlin came to the
stable and began work sweeping the litter
along the walk and in front of the stalls. He
was then too small for any work that would
pay for what he could eat, but he pegged
away, doing the little chores about the place,
and in a short while he could hold on to the
back of a gentle horse walking in the circle
of the stable yard, and gradually he went up
until he could be trusted to gallop and finally
to ride race for prize money. The boy
took to the business from the beginning.
He was never a run-a-round as most boys are
who have chance, but showed a greater
familiarity with and love of the songs Root
little pig, or die,'' than he did of theohabits
of juvenile idlers. If he was ever seen
drinking or dissipating in any way with those
of his age and class the writer knows not Of
it, and he has had ample opportunity to see
and know pretty much the character of those
whose occupation confines them to the turf
circle. Few make more rapid transit from
poverty to wealth than the subject of our re-
marks. The field for others who are poor
and unable to compete at labor with stout
bodied men is large, so large that any boy
who will study business habits, give up the
fooling Of children, and behave himself
quietly and goodmannerly can find the same
chance to be a man of some consequence,
and gain for himself position of wealth and
pleasure.

RAILROAD NOTES.
Is The Northeastern Going to Parallel The
Union PdcifcP

Is The northeastern Going to Parallel The
Union Pacific?
Mr.. Marvin Hughitt, vice president of the
Chicago IL Northwestern, who has been in
st. Paul for week or two, went down to
Chicago on Wednesday last, toattend the
meeting of the Northwestern
association, and on Saturday
evening left for New York for the purpose of
attending a meeting of the board of directors
of his road on Tuesday. 1t has been init
mated that the meeting will be of great i'm
portance, and that it will take several days to
conclude its labors. What the real object is
is a matter of speculation. 1t is the opinion
that the rumors regarding the proposed ex-
tension of the Sioux City IL Pacific division
of the Northwestern to Denver, and the con
sequent withdrawal of the Northwestern from
the Iowa Trunk Line association, have some
reference to the work of the meeting. The
fact that Mr.. Hughitt made tour of inspec-
ton over the Sioux City IL Pacific last week
rather tends to confirm the report. No infor-
nation on the subject can be obtained from
the officers of the Northwestern.
The desire of Vanderbilt to obtain an indie
pendent line for his Northwestern to Color
ado is explained on the ground that he feels
very bitter toward the Union Pacific, since
the last election, when he lost all representa-
ton in the board of that company. He
seems to have come to the conclusion that
the Northwestern's interest will suffer by
continuing the alliance with the Union Pa
cific, and is therefore getting ready to get
out of the Western Trunk Line association
and make the Union Pacific suffer for refus-
ing to place itself under his protecting wing.

The indications are that the Ohio 81 Mis-
sissppi, which is now in the hands of re-
ceiver, will soon be under the control of the
Baltimore 81 Ohio, reorganization having
been effected in the interest Of the latter
company. Senator Harrison, of Indiana, is
expected to be in Chicago to-day, to appear
before Judge Drummond for the purpose of
closing up the affairs of the company, with a
view of relieving Receiver j. NJ. Douglass.
The ninth annual report of the Milwaukee,
Lake Shore 81 Western railroad, is published.
The following is the condensed statement OF
the company's business and expenses Of the
year: Earnings, 81, 05S, 1854; other receipts,
"a, 942; total 81, 064, COS. Operating expen-
ses and taxes, S7T0, 1924; net receipts, S39S,
$50; interest on funded debt, 1882, $40; sur
plus, $40, 231; interest on income bonds
paid out Of surplus, $4,000; balance, Sl10,-
331.
The Grand Rapids 81 Indiana Railroad
company's annual report shows increased
revenues for the year, with a surplus after
meeting all fixed charges. The land depart
tirely farm lands-for 1925, 040, being an ay-
erage of nearly $40 per acre. The entire
amount sold to the close of the year, after
deducting Cancelled contracts, was 302, 439
acres, and the aggregate price received there
for was "a, S27, All. Out of these sales the
trustees redeemed during the year 81, $40, 900
of the first mortgage bonds, of which 81, 240,-
900 were converted into income bonds, max
ing the entire amount so exchanged to the
end of 1888, 50, 339, 900.

To the Editor of the Globe:
The Durand convent IN seems to have been
a slim affair; only two Out of six counties were
represented at all, and as each county was
entitled to only four delegates, it is difficult
to see what the large attendance mentioned
by your Durand correspondent was made up
of. Only eight delegates were present. A
pretty small crowd to represent even the Re-
publicans of the circuit, to say nothing OF
assuming authority to act for '1people gener-
ally" No wonder the Eau Claire candi-
dates, in whose interest the whole scheme
was engineered, were willing to pass over
the honors of a nomination to another
county.
The pretext assigned by the disappointed
attorneys and politicians who got up the con-
vention, is thatJudge Bundy was nominated
by bar convention, and that the attor-
neys of corporations are favorable to his cleo
ton
Now, all who are acquainted with the bar of
the circuit know that is not the case. But
this Durand convention was run by Geo. b.
Shaw, leading member of the Daniel Shaw
Lumber company, of Eau Claire, and who is
also member of over dozen other corpora
tions, and W. F. Bailey, corporation lawyer;
Henry Cousins, incorporation lawyer and
federal oficeholder; A. Maggett, ex-corpora-
ton lawyer and government oficeholder, and
J. w. Bracket, postmaster, all of Eau
Claire.
1t is doubtful whether Mr.. Houghton &C
cepts or not Whether he does or not will
make but little difference so far as the action
of the people here is concerned, for they are
generally satisfied with Judge Bundy, and
do not care to make an exchange at this
time. j. A. HELLER, Menomonie, Wis.

An open letter to Mr.. Wagner, owner OF
the trotting stallion Wagners Bashaw, record
of 2:25H, and Mr.. Yearick, owner of the
trotting stallion Gipsey Boy, record OF
2:2S1l.
Gentlemen: have been informed by diff
ferent parties that the above horses have been
matched to trot mile heats, three best in five,
to harness, sometime during the present sea-
son, for 81, 600 side. 1 am the owner OF
the chestnut stallion Champlain, by Daniel
Lambert, and inasmuch as the above horses
are all before the public as trotting bred stall
lions, and located in about the same part of
this great state of Iowa, / have concluded to
make you the following proposition, to wit:
will put an additional 81, 900 in the stake and
enter my stallion Champlain to compete for
the same, and give first horse $4,000 and
second horse 81 900, or first horse take the
entire stake, l. e., $4,000, as you prefer.
I do not make the above proposition in a
spirit of bravado, but simply to bring the
three horses together in a fair and friendly
test of speed, feeling assured that the many
friends of the different horses would rest
satisfied that when they started there would
be race for blood, and that the best horse
would win. Trusting you may receive this
in the spirit with which it is written, I am,
Very respectfully,

Short Sighted Pollen.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
The daily sales of real estate in Minneapo-
lis excel those in our city two or three times
over, and this state of things will continue
until our bankers become aroused to the i'm
portance of the fact that there are duties for
each of them to perform. Some time since
an eastern gentleman arrived in st. Paul
and deposited a large sum of money
in one of our banks intending
to invest the same in real
estate He asked the banker what he thought
Of real estate at present prices and was told
not to invest at ''all too high-too high"
OF course the banker looked forward to a
long use Of the capitalists money. The man
of money went to Minneapolis and when he
inquired about such investments was told
that non is the time and this Is the place TO make
them. Everyone with whom he eonversed
told him the same thing, and the result was
our bank lost the deposit and Minneapolis
secured the location of the gentleman who has
placed there over 100000. Another bank
in the city did the same thing, with a like re-
suit If our own bankers throw cold water
upon those who would locate with us, and by
their money aid in building up our city, we
can hardly expect to get our share OF the
capital which is constantly coming to Mime
sofa.
The bank that would work against the gen.
eral welfare in order to advance its own in
terest. in a way so small, is hardly st. Paul
institution 1t certainly does not merit the
patronage Of the business men of our city.
While we have the names of these bankers
for the present it will not be necessary to
give them, but it may be in the future neces-
sary for the business men to know what
banks are friendly to their interests and
which ones deserve their patronage.

and impressed these teachings on theirminds


and impressed these teachings on theirminds
by pointing them to the Montana miners,
who came down to Salt Lake City winters,
and who, though in their rough manner are
knd-hearted and sympathetic, are about as
worldly wicked a set as can be found any
where.
The speaker then seemed to point the way
to a very promising field of Christian mis-
sionary work in Utah by the establishment
or free schools. Though the Mormons have
school houses they have no teachers OF their
faith, and the consequence OF this is that
many Of their children are growing up as
hoodlums in Salt Lake. He had school in
operation there which was opened by the
head master in the morning with the Epis-
copal services, in which there were some
other religious observances, where Mormon
children were taught the lower and higher
branches and those who were bright and
hopeful for after Christian work, were fitted
for college. Only the elementary branches
as it were are taught in the Mormon schools
and consequently Mormons of the middle
classes desiring the education of their children
send them to the Episcopal school. About
one-half of the scholars pay tuition, while
the other half, W hose parents are too poor to
pay, are supported in their studies by
$40 yearly scholarhips donated by the
eastern churches, of which the Sabbath
school of Christ's church supports one.
The support of this school work rested on
the missionary bishop, and as his school mad
already given him two native educated help
ers in the Utah field, six more are in course
of preparation for the same service, and
others are giving promise of future useful
ness, he asked that after the denomination
had given generously for their own home work
and foreign missions, that they and others
would give him what they could spare toward
helping to Christianize the next generation
of Utah by this school work.
A generous collection was taken at the
close of the service in behalf of the work so
clearly and eloquently outlined by the speak
