These men are not given to blowing
their own horn. consequently the pub
lie knows little Of what is being done
by them. While citizens are sleeping
and storms raging they are ever on the
lookout; the more severe the storm
the more arduous are their duties, and
to imperil their lives in the line of
duty is not uncommon. 1t is highly
creditable to several of the men that
they have been in the service of the
station from its first establishment.

WALLACE MYGATT.

Space is given to the foregoing com.
munication of Mr.. Mygatt. He was
an early settler here and is entitled to
speak as an historian of the early
times. In respect to the derivation,
meaning and pronunciation of the
name first given to this place, the au-
thorities differ, as may be seen by
reference to articles written and pub
lished in the volumes Of the State His
torical Society over forty years ago.
Mr.. Mygatt asks us to revise what
was said in the TELEGRAPH about the
origin of some Indian names. If he
had read carefully, he would have
noticed that what was said on that
matter referred TO the opinions of
writer in a popular monthly Che
Century,. He cannot expect US to
"revise" opinions found in that peri
odical.

THE INTER OCEAN has from the beginning been
ideas 1t is the advocate of equal rights for ell be-
fore the law, of protection to American labor, and
of the idea that America is for Americans-not nee
essarily Americans by birth but true citizens of the
Republic 1t believes in the West and Western
men, holds to the idea that the future seat of
pire will be in the Mississippi Valley, and is bold
and aggressive in its opposition to the unholy ALI
ance between the money changers of New York
City and the States lately in rebellion.
THE INTER OCEAN is earnestly in favor of the
Republican party because it believes the principles
of that party correct, and that, honestly car
ried out they will best protect the rights and ad
the interests of the whole people. 1t is not
however, a blind follower, but Is always ready to
denounce Republican wrong doing, either in nigh
or low places.
THE INTER OCEAN has always maintained that
the Nation is under obligation to the soldiers of
the late war; who jeopardized their lives to protect
1t from armed treason, which it never repay
and, consequently, has advocated the establish
naent of Soldiers Homes and the enactment of
such pension laws would leave no disabled vet
eran in want
AS Newspaper THE INTER OCEAN is not ex-
celed In the United States Aside from the service
of the Associated Press in which it holds mem
bership, it keeps large body of Special Core
spondents, both in this country and in the Old
World, and has SPECIAL LEASED TELEGRAPHIC
WIRES connecting it's Chicago Office with WASH
INGTON and NEW YORK, in both of which cities

Railroad Ripples.

At a meeting Of the directors Of the
cided whether the ct. Joe and Grand
Island railway, now under Union Paci-
fc control, will remain so or whether
the road will be turned over by it's
owners to the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific, When the old st. Joe and
Western was ~reorganized and its name
changed to the st. Joe q Grand Island,
about a year ago, the Union Pacific
guaranteed to pay the owners Of the
line i per cent interest on the 81, 10000 0
Of bonds issued at that time. Last jan
uary the quarterly interest then due
was defaulted, and the meeting March
2S will be TO see if there are funds TO
meet the April interest. If there are
not and a second default has to be
made the road will doubtless be turned
over to the Rock Island, which has
made a bid for it, offering 5 per cent on
the e 100000 Of bonds. If the Rock
Islands bid is accepted this company
will take the line and extend it west
from Grand Island, Neb., into the rich
cattle fields of Wyoming, Montana and
ldaho.-Chicago Tribune.
The Burlington and Missouri River
has awarded a contract for the construc-
ton of 80 miles of road northwest
from Grand Island in addition to 100
miles previously let, which will bring
the northwest terminus nearly, if not
quite TO Chadron. The work is to be
completed the present season, with the
evident intention Of pushing into Dead
wood next year. That the company
means business is evidenced by the
energetic name in which work has
been i~naugurated. The construction Of
this line will no doubt lead to serious
competition between the Burlington
and North western railroads for the
Black Hills trade.-Chicago Tribune.
