A GREAT COUNTRY.

ZINES amt what they used to be"
said man to the writer yesterday.
If he means that they are not as
good as they used to be, or not as
full of opportunities, he is mistaken.
There were never better chances and
openings for making money on the Pa
cific coast than there are right here
to-day. 1t takes a little brains and
requires constant exercise of energy,
but the reward is there.
in the days of gold, in the days of
old, the days of 49," in the days when
whisky was two bits drink, few
were favored by fortune: the multi
tude went broke.
Luck predominated those days, now
energy, industry and prudence win
success.
Luck is also as potent factor of
sudden success as it ever was.
The writer knows three men not yet
35 years of age, who three years ago
didn't have 800 of clear money in
the world, and who, to-day, can each
draw a check for $4,000 apiece and
get the cash.
"How did they make it," Well
partly luck and partly pluck. They
saw opportunities, went in and won.
This is a great country, and it is
getting greater every day.

We ought to be perfectly happy
that We live in this glorious age of
scientific thought. We believe there
never was another age in which the
astronomer of Harvard observatory
could PROFOUND the following problem
and receive so many perfectly reason
able answers to it: Suppose" said
he, ''that three snakes each two feet
in length, should catch one another
by the tip of the tail, thus making a
circle six feet in circumference. Sup
pose that each snake should begin to
swallow the one In front of him. In
what way would the resultant figures
after each snake had swallowed the
one in front of him differ from the
original circle?" The answers have
been many and various, some of them,
we are informed, entering the con-
sideration of the fourth dimensions of
space" because any one OF the snakes
would have swallowed the two In front
of him and yet thave been swallowed
by the two back of him, and therefore,
would be both inside and outside of
his two fellows. The man who lives
in an age when men can tackle and
grasp and make so clear to others an
idea of this sort has no business to be
going about talking of the good old
times or looking hopefully forward to
anything more millenniumish.

THE last Vermont legislature ap-
pointed a commissioner to set forth
by circulars and advertisements the
agricultural advantages of that state.
The commissioner complains that
many of the old farmers have aban-
doned their farms and many of their
sons have left the state and gone else
where. He states that the object of
the commission was to ascertain what
means could be devised "to check the
gradual decrease of cultivated farms
in the townships and the outflow of
young men and women, and to repop-
ulate the lands thus left without ten
ants" He estimates that there are
twenty thousand acres of good culti-
vatable land which are now abandoned.
Others express the belief that the
estimate is much too low-that the
worst has not been told. However
this may be, the commissioner finding
no response at home, suggests that
the nnoccupied lands be thrown open
to colonization. To this end he has
been in correspondent with a prom
inent Swede in Nebraska, who is said
to be experienced in the business OF
founding colonies of his countrymen.' u
The latter promises to examine the
depopulated lands in question, and il
found satisfactory to bring over a
colony of fifty families in the spring.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March %, 1880.

WASHINGTON, March %, 1880.
Daily LIGHT
The nomination of "CorporaW
James Tanner, of New York, to be
commissioner of pensions, is enthusi-
astically received by the old soldiers,
particularly those who carried mus
kets in the ranks. They regard the
appointment as special recog-
milton of themselves. If the senti-
ments expressed by eX-soldiers, from
large number of states, temporarily
in Washington, are fair sample Of
those existing throughout the coun-
try, this app continent bids fair to be
one of the most popular ever made by
any president.
The only objection raised to the APP
pointment of Corporal" Tanner was
that he was too friendly to the old
soldiers. Gen. Harrison quickly told
the parties who had the bad taste to
make such an objection, that it was
for that reason that he proposed to
make him commissioner of pensions.
No man should ever fill the position
who is not friendly to the old soldiers,
and it would be difficult for him to be
too friendly towards them.
The important appointments are
being slowly and carefully made and
now that the president has had time
to show the politicians that he does
not propose to do anything hurriedly,
there has been perceptible "let up"
in the pressure upon him. He hears
the claims of all patiently, and after
careful consideration, appoints the one
who, all things considered, he thinks
will best fill the position.
Gen. Harrison stated in conversa-
ton day or two ago that the west
must have the Public Printer. This
has had the effect of knocking out all
the eastern candidates and Of bring
ing in several new ones from the west.
1t is very important position and the
president does not propose to make
mistake In filling it. AS it now stands
it is thought the appointment will go
either to Mr.. Merridith, of Illinois, or
Mr.. Osborne, of California.
Secretary Tracy has made decision
as to appointments and discharges in
the navy department that has created
much interest here. A clerk who was
dismissed for inefficiency appealed to
the secretary for reinstatement on the
ground that he was an old soldier.
The secretary concludes his refusal to
reinstate the man as follows: "While
the fact of person having a good
record as a soldier will be considered
among the best of recommendations
for retentio in or appointment to a
position under the navy department,
ability to perform satisfactorily the
duties of the position which he holds,
or to which he aspires must be con-
dition precedent to favorable consider
alton of an application for retention or
appointment" G.. A. s.

Ogden of a smelter, was not as largely
attended as it should have been, nor as the
importance of the movement demanded.
The absence of some men of solid means
and influence was especially noticeable, and
called forth remarks from Mr.. Sidney
Stevens, who was the first speaker. Mr..
Stevens expressed himself as heartily in
favor of the enterprise, and after first offer
ing to give ten acres of land for a site.
finally said thatif North Ogden were selec-
ted for that purpose he would give twenty
five acres, and thought that he might be
able to raise the $4,000 bonus asked for.
He thought that Ogden should extend from
the Hot springs to the Weber river, and
was willing to do a good part hlmselI
in the way of donating money.
DIR. Condor favored shelters first, then
iron works; hotels and opera houses would
follow He said that his friend OlVer L;
HERMAN and himself owned some land
which they would donate if the shelters
are not placed at North Ogden.
Mr. Armstrong thought that the snlelter
people asked too large bonus LOT the
amount they proposed to invest-S3O, OOO !;
hut mo matter about that, we can afford it,
he said. and was in favor of going ahead.
He thought. however, that Ogden people
were irving to do too much at once. The
three schemes of opera house, Motel and
smelters would tax US to the extent OF
$40 600 and we can't stand it. He favored
dropping two of the schemes and carrying
out one; then the others could be carried
out.
President Preshaw favored North Ogden
as a site. as did H L. Griffin. After fur
Their discussion it was agreed to appoint a
committee to visit North Ogden and see
what could be done, the committee to re
port tomorrow evening. The chairman
appointed as such committee Messrs. sgd
nev Stevens, F. J. Kiesel, H. L. Griffin, E.
A. Reed and Robert Robinson.
J. J. Kenney, former resident Of Provo,
said that he would shortly be prepared to

was set as the time for its consideration.
