Under the new rules governing the Union
tracks and Belt road on the double track all
trains are run on the left-hand track, which
certainly has its advantages. Many Of the
double track roads of this country have adopted
this method, and their examples will undoubt
eddy be followed, sooner or later, by all double
track roads where any attempt is made to con-
duet their traffic in the best and safest manner
The engineer is upon the righthand side of the
engine. and this very position gives him a
better view of both tracks when running to left
than in the ordinary way; and it is undeniably
great advantage to be able to see both tracks
clearly. Again, his chances of watching the
track are especially improved on curves. When
the curvature is to the right he is 80 situated
that he can see further along his own and the
opposite rails than when running to the right.
And on the curvature to the left, he can
see just as far down his own rails as
before, and from three to five times
as far down the opposite ones. When track sig
nails are placed centrally between the two tracks,
as they frequently are he has a better oppor-
tunity of watching them than if he had to look
at them across the front of his own engine. or
course. when they are placed outside the rails
this advantage does not exist.
Even the accurate noting of signals carried by
trains moving in the opposite direction is brought
within the norrowest possible limits OF error.
Instead OF looking on ahead and full in the glare
of an approaching headlight at night, to distin-
guish the signals carried losing sight of it while
it is still several rods in advance of his own en-
CINE, the man at the throttle can coolly watch
the approaching train, and note the signal till it
passes at his very elbow; and it is far more like
!y to be observed than if it were dashing past on
the opposite side of his machine.

Cornelius and w. X, Vanderbilt.

Great interest centers in Cornelius Wander
bilk the Oldest son, who is the natural successor
of his father in the control of the Vanderbilt prop
critics. He is the one who will dictate the poll
cy OF the Vanderbilt interests. The Union, of
Brooklyn. N. Y, says: He is thoroughly good
man He is a sincere Christian and takes
deeper interest in religious work than in finan-
cial management Yet he is the ablest financier
of al the Vanderbilt boys Since William Ell.
Vanderbilt retired from the presidency of the
different Vanderbilt roads he has been the Van

Railroad Construction in the Northwest.
For Minnesota and Wisconsin the important
railroad work definitely decided upon for 1886 is
ihe completion of the Burlington & Northern.
Minneapolis. Sault Ste. Marie & Atlantic. and tine
Wisconsin, Central, the Cascade division of the
Northern Pacific, and the last-named company's
branch from Gunnison to Butte, NJ T. In addi-
tioa 10 this considerable building will be done in
Dakota. The several lines heading for the Black
HILLS will push on west of the Missouri. The
Manitoba will finish the St Cloud e. Wimar. the
Milwaukee IL st. Paul and James River Valley
roads will extend their lines, the former from
Glendale. and the latter from Lamoure until
shgy meet. The Dakota 81 Great Southern and
Dakota IL Midland projects will be infused with
new life and the Northern Pacific will build

upon paper only remains to be seen. About the
only important piece of new work expected in
Minnesota is the extension of the Minnesota 81
Northwestern to Duluth. This extension has
been decided upon, notwithstanding all reports
to the contrary, and will assuretly be built as
soon as practicable. The Union Pacific is said
to be building a line of road from North Loup to
Loup City Neb.. distance of forty miles; an
other from Marysvile to Garrison, twenty-five
miles; another from Denver to Bowlder, sixty
miles, another from Lincoln, Neb., to Salina.
Kan, thirty-fve miles; besides various odds and
ends of lines here. there and everywhere, foot
ing up altogether some 200 miles more Such
evidences of progress and enterprise are truly
cheering.

ABOUT ARIzoNA

Residents of Arizona complain. and not unIustly, of the lack of correct in. formation regarding our territory which e1isis abroad, and the general tendency oI the eastern press to misrepresent us Beyond question there are good grou,.5 5s Tor the feeling of our people in this matter, but to great extent wa ara ourselves to blame. The eastern nress and people take for granted as fact. statements made by our own citizans Considering that those who liva bs-a should be posted when they undertake 10 enilghten theIr friends abroad As showing the reliable character of ,ba information which finds it way into tha eastern journals, the following extrac, IS from letter written by resident of the San Pedro and published in a Michigan paper:
 The water supply Is the only object. ionaoie feature to the Territory, The streams are few and far between. ana cold water Is something unknown. All water IS warm and more or less t;nrt- urea with aIkall, bU, ..Ot. t.u ,r,,.sant to The taste. It IS an article of mercchandisa bought and sold the same as commod- itles. Iwenty-tive cents is the custom arg prlce Tor watering a team. In some localities you cannot get 1t at any price"
 The resident of the Michigan penIn- sula who reads thls, will be likely to imagine that Arizona is a kind of an American Soudan; a country where wat. erls as precious as the gold in its hills; where the btnes of unf rtunste travel CTS are strewn over its desert sands and where the luxury of a cooling draught of natures beverage Is never enjoyed by its unfortunate inhabitants. When the prospective immigrant from Michigan reads that "all the water is warm, tinctured with slksli, and that it IS an article of merchandise, to be bought and sold," he will conclude that 1t IS better to stand the frosts and snows of the piney woods than take the chances Of perishing with thirst on the deserts of Arizona.
 And this letter from the s Sin Padro IS fair sample of good deal of the rot that Is being sent abroad about Arizona, and the cause, pure ignorance IL IS safe to sHy that the writer under consideration, never lived beyond tine San Pedro precincts, and that his knoRl- edge of the Territory is continei to that locality. If he had every visited the charming valleys, glens and mountain ranges Of northern Arizona snd tasted the clear, cold crystalline waters from its numerous springs and streams, te would no: think that all the water ID thls country is "tincturtd with alkali." IT be had seen the broad currents of the Colorado, the Salt, the Gila and the Little Colorado, rot to mention tbe scores of tributary water c2Urses n every county, be would TO: think the streams are "few and far between" In wo.d, if be hai rome knowledge ol the matter cn vhi,h be treats. he Woul0 not be guilty oi nisrepresenting the Territory, nor would he have written himself down aa ass s-PheDix Herald.

ARIZONA Is really wonderful country
 within Its limits are contained patural advantages and resources worthy of au empire, and enough to render It's people sell supporting for centuries. Its mighty rIver, the Colorado, for a long distance Is capable of generating power enough for all needed mills and mann factories, and there are many smaller streams that possess gaod power but in less degree; its broad valleys can pro1uce all the grain, fruits and vepe- tables required; the vast grazing lands are capable of supporting immense herds ot cattle; its mines yield pr, clous metals In sufficient quantity for current use: and indeed it looks to careful observer that with cheap and rapid transporta hon, our "desert" land ought to smile blandly upon the world as the only really independent portion of the great sisterhood of states. The time will come when ArIzous will take its proper rank among the foremost of the states ot the Union, and that glorious time Will arrive within the next decade.
