bridge across the Colorado river, which. how
ever is the best wooden bridge in the United
States, and is good for ten years service.
Under the plan for reorganizing the Phiadel-

are as great during the next five years as during
the last, there will be more than enough funds to

the fact that the Reading railroad earned last

sALINA AND THE, MISSOURI PACIFIC
RAILWAY.

The result of Tuesdays election is
most gratifying to all friends Of the
bond proposition, and must be partic-
ularly 80 10 the officials Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway, who have
labOred 30 industriOusly in our behalf
We do not believe q better vote was
ever given a railroad bond proposition
by any county in the State. The size
Of the victory was certainly phenome-
nal. Il surely suggests that the peo-
pie Of Saline county have 3 well set
tied conviction that the Missouri
Pacific is most friendly To their inter
ests, and that they propose to give the
rnad n most cordial reception. Col.
HOXie. the First Nice-President Of the
Missouri Pacific system, has reason tU
be on the best Of terms with himself
over the result. He came TO Salina n
few months ago and pledged the citi-
Eens OF Saline county IN n modest and
unassuming manner that the road
would be built TO Salina. Subse-
quently a higher power than the First
Vice. President issued an order that
all work on this contemplated road
should cease. Ii was a season Of
gloom and dependency for our coun-
ty, and Col. Hoxie seemed as much
affected by the gloomy order as any
body else. lie took the disappUlnt-
ment as deeply at heart as any Of our
people. He had pledged his word
that the road would be built, and he
set ont at once 20 do all in his power
to make his word good. HIS inten-
tiOns lac declared In no hlgh-sOunding
promises, but Ia "a manner quiet and
yet determined. They were to the
effect that he was their friend, and
that his pledge should be made good II
IL was possible. The people believed
him. They were confident that he
was q fair, candid, honest gentleman,
and would never betray them. Finally
through his kind offices, and his earn
est and jealous effort. = second order
came for the Immediate construction
Of the road through to Salina. The
confidence Of the people In the Colo
mel and his confidence In them was
mutual, and Il was not necessary that
the grading Of the line should be dis
continued pending the vote Of the
aid. Il was ss certain that the aid
would be forthcoming ~ that the sun
would rise. Another .fdHs Achates la
whom the people Of Saline county
have great confidence is Col. Everest,
who has been with us for several
weeks, and who has labOred night and |
dsy IN our behalf and also TO make good |
his word that the road would be
built. Now the people have come
forward Ia a most unanimous way
and expressed their belief Ia the off,
cials and management Of this great
system Of roads. IL should place the
county aud the city Of Salina on the
best OF terms with the road, and we
have no doubt that we shall receive
the most substantial fAvOrs In the
future

Iank Of Ms,isrn forests.

Al the recent meeting Of the State
Horticultural Society held AT this
place, q paper was read In which
some ingenious ideas IS To the lack Of
timber In the great American Desert
were given. The writer found, con-
trary To the accepted belief, current
among scientists aud others, that the
native timber would be found most
abundant along the large wafer
courses and in the horseshoe besds Of
such streams, the reverse Is true. In
the tract lying between the Platte and
Arkansas rivers and from the 97th to
the lU0th meridians west, IL WIS found
that those streams which head IA the
mountains, and are consequently the
longest, have the least timOer and are
most affected by drOuth, while those

or the causes for this lack Of timber
the first and most potent mentioned
was, Of course, the prairie fires. These
not only iniure or destroy the we'll
grown timber on the bottoms, but de-
slrny the sprouts, which may have
taken root upon the upland, thus cut
ting oft the hope OF the growth Of tim
ber to any great extent without the
aid Of man. Various animals influ-
ence the timber grOwths. The butfa-
10, which in vast herds aud driven by
thirst, rushed To the margins OF the
larger water courses, trampling the
life out Of every green thing, thus
thinning out the undergruwth Ot

place Of the older ones while by
their habit OF rubbing, after wallOw

We venture 10 suggest another and
more potent reason IN the impenetTa-
bility OF the buffalo grass sod, and the
great difficulty which any kind of tree
seed would have in finding a suita Ole
place for termination, aud the added
act that this sod is almost impeTvi-
Us 10 water, without which no seeds
can germinate.
The remedy for all this lies in the
aid Of man himself, who, by extend
ing his protection against the buffalo,
beaver aud prairie fires, and by break
ing up the sod and allowing the seeds
better chances for termination, and
also utilizing more Of the rainfall,
has power over many of the eircum-
stances necessarily attending the
growth Of forests in central and west

an emDlOve of PattessOn's who order

ed the pasture from the road. The
hired man then went into the house
