Gulf& Pacillc.

The Gulf a. Pacific railroad Is going
right straight. ahcad and Is making no
fuss about it. Mr.. Mcleod, the con-
tractor has forty wagons and sixty
men on the first grade of four miles
from the Dallas Il Wichita road near
the city to the trinity river and it will
be finished next week. AS soon as il
Is done the ties and iron will be put
down and the work of putting an iron
bridge across the Trinity river will be
commenced. The road has been loca-
ted nearly to Decatur and the engineer
corps will remain in the field until the
line is located to Jacksboro. This road
has asked 81 900 per mile for the first
so miles of the citizens of Dallas only
to be paid as each ten miles is compile
ted and trains running. 1t ought to
be given, for this road will open up u
new territory of trade to the city and
will penetrate the rich coal fields of
Wise county, and give us cheap fuel, a
dcsideratum above all others with
Dallas now.

Missouri Pacific,

1t is true Dallas has not raised the

this will prove satisfactory to the COM

Very Sanguine.

A HERALD reporter met with Dr.
Andrew Young, of Clcburnc, one of
the leaders and foremost apostles of
the Greenback party. When asked if
he would support Major Jerome G..
Kearby for congress he said he most
emphatically would, not only person.
ally but with his paper, the Cleburnc
Tribune.
"Why, | tell you, sir" said the doc
tor, "Kearby csn be easily elected. He
can carry Bosque, Johnson and Tar
rant counties with ease, and Hill coun-
ty, the home of Judge Abbott, the
Democratic nominee, two to one. |
am informed, also, that he can carry
Dallas county. That will elect him,
and we are going to do it,"
Il see, doctor, you are like Enoch of
old-still joined to your idols
"Oh! young man, | know you. |
know you are all right and mean to do
right, and would be Grecnbacker
yourself if you would only keep bet
ter company. Like King Agrippa,
you are almost persuaded"
The reporter laughed and left the
old gentleman. This is the purport
and gist of the short interview, though
all of il is not the exact words used.

From Our Regular Correspondentl
HAMILTON, Jan. %, 1885.
The weather is stormy, but mild.
The roads in and out of town in all
directions are in bad condition.
1t is now conceded beyond a doubt
that that the Monitor mines of your
place have been purchased by the Eb-
erhardt Company.
Quite a number of old timers here
are ready to migrate to your camp as
soon as Capt. Drake assumes charge.
The monotony of our town was
broken up Saturday evening by a
rather novel wedding, the names of
the parties to which appear under the
proper heading.
Assessor Peters left on Thursdays
stage for San Francisco, and VIM.
Erskine for the Elko hot springs.
The force upon the Stafford mine
has been somewhat increased. The
mine is said to be locking well.
We are now reduced to two saloons,
one restaurant and two lodging
house. Hoppe and Sam Sing have
closed up. With the advent of spring
business will undoubted increase.
Last Saturday evening, about 10
o'clock, a band of bedlams gathered
on Main street and proceeded to issue
a concordance of noises popularity
supposed to come only from the in
side walls of lunatic asylum. Invss-
tigation disclosed that a majority of
eur male population we're engaged in
making the most excruciating racket
possible with every available means
at hand. The cause of this jelectable
serenade was the uniting in one by
Judge Bush of w. w. Lewis and Mrs.
Kate Gallagher. Being invited inside
a bountiful repast appeased the appe-
tite and quenched the thirst of the
musicians and others, and many con-
CALCULATIONS followed to the newly
welded pair.

Nevada Cattle.

The Northwestern Stock Journal
remarks: Nevada has never made any
fuss about being cow country, but
the boys have gone steadily aleng
breeding up their herds until they have
a good class of cattle sud they are
bringing fair prices on the Pacific
markets. Nevada has done another
good thing-she has demonstrated that
it pays to raise alfalfa and use it az a
feed for beef steers. Her example
might be followed by all the cattlemsn
who have grass lands that they can
successfully irrigats.

The long-thrsatensd curtailment of
the mail service between Eureka,
Phoebe and way stations. went int
effect last Monday. Neither petitions,
nor the remonstranceo f our Represen-
tatiye in Congress, could stay this act
of great injustice to our people by the
Mugwumps Administration now run
ming this Government. Bondholders
and National banks seem to be the only
CLASSES for which Mr.. Cleveland's
Administration cares fig. The rights
of the people, especially those in
insulated districts-ars totally disre-
garded, add no effort is made to con-
ceal the fact that the General Govern
ment il giving US Geld shoulder for
some imaginary cause.
1t is true, we get ''stay of proceed
ingso for month or more, awaiting
Senator Fairs arrival in Washington,
but he has not gone and put in" a
word for Us. And in consequence of
Mr.. Fairs absence for his post of duty,
the people throughout Eastern Nevada
are reduced to two mails a uesks
when in ali justice we should have u
daily. After this outrage committed
on our people, without voice being
raissd to avert il, we cannot see how
the Democratic Senator from Nevada
can come before our people next Fall
and ask for reelection to a trust he
has obstiDateI s>Tsfused to perform in
the past and present.
We do not know the days On which
this semi-weekly mail will arrive and
depart. The Sentinel thinks they will
leave Eureka on Sunday and Wednes-
day morning, which would bring the
mail here Monday and Thursday. The
Phoebe stage came in Thursday, but
none arrived from Eureka.

Most Of our State exchanges con-
tinue to publish the stock board QUO
tations. But why they should Is not
apparent. Nobody in Nevada buys
stocks now. That game has been
given up, and our people have learned
that the way to make money in stocks
is not to buy them. They are like
the boy who wrote a composition on
"Pins" in which he announced that
''piLs had saved may peoples lives. +"
Upon being asked how he made that
"ut he replied, "by not swallowing
them"

woodburn Fails 10 be Heard.

The following is an extract from a
private letter from the Hon. William
Woodburn To the editor of the Enter
prise, dated December 2Sth: Now
that Congress has adjourned until
Monday next, have time to drop you
few lines according To promise.
Most of my spare time has been spent
in the Postofiice Department in the
vain attempt to preserve decent mail
service on the various mail routes in
Nevada A sew policy has been in
augurated respecting mail service in
the extreme West. 1t is one of reduc-
ton aud destruction instead of creating
and maintaining. Nearly all the routes
in Eastern Nevada have suffered.
Sixty six have been affected in Color
ado, and Idaho, Montana and Arizona
are sharing the same fate. The basis
of the new policy is the smallness of
the receipts of the various Postoffices
as compared with the cost of trans
portation, forgetting that the mail
service was instituted for the benefit
of the people, though the Government
might suffer loss. The Western Rep
resentativss purpose to protest in a
bedy against the continuance OF the
outrage.

Universal Verdict.

During the few weeks in which the
new route of the Wisconsin Central
Line between Chicago and St. Paul and
Minneapolis has been in operation, it
has acquired a popularity almost un-
known in the history Of railroads. Nor
is this surprising if we investigate the
cause Of it's success. The road-bed,
rolling stock and entire equipment OF
the new line are equal to any in the
country. It runs the fastest trains with
the least restrictions and it spares no
endeavor to secure comfort and ease for
the travelling public. The fast train
between Chicago and st. Paul leaves
Chicago at 4:4O p. m. and Milwaukee at
TAO D. NJ, daily, and arrives in st. Paul
at 7:l5 and in Minneapolis at ESQ the
next morning. All classes OF tickets
are accepted on this train, which is un-
limited in this respect. Two trains are
run daily in each direction between
Chicago and st. Paul and Minneapolis,
and three trains daily i'll each direction
between Chicago and Fond du Lac,
Oshkosh, Chippewa Falls and Eau
Claire.

together OF separately, two revolving
cylinders mounted vertically, one

circumference ninety type channels, in
which the type rests upon their sides

the working of keys on keyboard
they are drawn into their proper places.
