A BOOM FOR THE 500.

In Case Of the Threatened Tie-up it Would be
the Only Outlet for the Northwest.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 5.-The interest
ing feature of the situation here in case
of the threatened tie-up on all northwest
ern roads materialized is that the 500
road will then be the only western outlet
for Minneapolis and the northwest until
the opening of navigation. Even this
would be more advantageous position
than most western cities would occupy,
and the roads traffic under that condi-
tion of affairs would be enormous.

CHICAGO, March 2.-Chief Engineer
Arthur to night gave out along statement
concerning the position of the engineers
and fremen as to the present attitude to-
ward the Burlington road. In it he says
in part: Men are striking not to compel
the railway company to pay them for ser
vices they do not perform, nor to compel
the com pany to accept them to run their
engines Neither do the men de-
mand that the company shall fur
nish free passes for all their
relatives. The main issue is, shall the c..

FALSE REPORT EXPLODED.
Only One brotherhood Man at Work on the
Reading.

PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-The report of
Edward Hunt, chairman of the executive
board of the Brotherhood of Locomot tive
Engineers, who has been in the city in
vestigating the charges that the brother
hood men had taken the places of the
striking Knights of Labor on the Read-
ing railroad, shows they were grossly
exaggerated. He could only locate one
such case. The majority of the men who
had manned the engines at the commence
ment of the strike, were men who had
lost their places in the brotherhood strike
in 1877 and had since been unable to
obtain work. Many of them, he said, had
then belonged to the brotherhood but had
since withdrawn or been expelled.

ILVI 2. MOTION
CT REV. ycEl,.

cE ksW YORK.


Now that The question of storac'
reservoirs is beng aciiated, IT woul,
be well for the citizens of the West
ern part OF the STATE to consider
what they can do this Writer il
the way OF progress and improve
ment.
TIE APPEAL has an idea that The
conHies of Donglas, Lyon, Ormsby,
STOREY. Esmeralda and Churchill
ight combine on an irrigation
(<eleme, which would be of great
6onefit to all concerned.
Lei these counties issue bonds to
the extent OF say 500, 900, To run
20 years at & per cent. Spend $780,
600 on a big storage reservoir,
somewhere along the Carson river,
and 500 900 more ia caEals and
bitches.
Let the selling OF the water be
under the supervision OF the county
authorities, and sell the water at a
stipulated rate, each county paying
for the bitches and canals within It's
borders
The tax to pay for these bonds
need not exceed 10 cents on the 100
and the rentals c. llec,ed for the
water would absorb the bonds.
Before the various counties is
sued the bonds, the proper proper
ton OF the $4,000 could be d.
vided up pro rata, and the county
not approving OF the bonds at
special election could be stricken
out OF the scheme entirely.
In few years vast stretch OF
country would be made garden
spot Of, and if tie experiment
proved successful, other counties
THROWN together by the natural lay
OF the country could adopt the same
plan.
storey county, while not using a
drop of the water, would be bene-
fitted as much as any other section,
as full head of Vater to run the
mills means 500 more men en-
ployed in Virginia City during the
Summer months.
The APPEAL believes that such a
scheme would put this section of
the country on its feet and enable
every waste acre of land to be
protitas.ly cultivated.
This IS of course only a general
outline OF a scheme which ii carried
out would double the value of all
property In the counties named, but
the plan of course would be subject
to such notifications as might be
suggested by public discussion OF
the subject.
