d 1t isnow said that the journey from New
York to San Francisco is to be made in less
than five days on schedule time. Let us
see. a while ago we started for California
in a clipper ship and made the trip round
Cape Horn in 100 days. Then we took q
short cut across the isthmus and reached
the Golden Gate in thirty days. After
that we went by rail across the continent
in seven days. Hereafter it is to be done
in less than FIVE. Well, there is nothing

WHERE SOD WAS WARM AND COD

ine evening moon shone softly down
Upon the blood-stained valley
| The dust was warm and wet with blood
Down where they tried to rally,
Inc pam was strewn with horse and man :.
| The still air seemed to moan,
| The shattered treetops bent in Drawer
| And wept with each last groan
Gray locks, where once a childish hand
Had played with mirthful glee.
Lay still and cold and damn that ni,h+
Dipped in that bloody sea.
And boyish cheeks yet soft as mine
| Lay cold beneath the sky.

An Old gray head half way bent down

Behind him lay coat of gray,
Behind faint sad moan.

And prayed God save her lover,
She prayed that angels snowy wings
Around her father hover,
The moon looked down on her that night,
And down upon her lover,
But e'er the sun came up at morn
Her grief was passed forever
In shroud and sheet of snowy white.
And cold black earth they laid her

She could not hear the story,
How blue and gray together slept

A SARCASTIC EDITOR
Makes Some Remarks About the New on

West Virginia ia nov declared to be the
eomirg State for oil speculation. All other

Nothing viii compare to the productive
capacity Of our territory when a sufficient
number of hoes are punched TO let the oil
out. All that is needed is to punch the
hole. Aud it only costs matter of five Oh
six thousand dollars hole.
Nor does it matter where you punch so
that il is Gin the bslt." To get in the belt Ii
the thing. The belt is supposed TO be Q
csrisia line Of territory Of prescribed
width within which if a hole is punched
oil will flow over the derrick. That's the
practical geology Of the business.
White, Jackson x Co, followed this
''neit" Into Marion county a few weeks
ago, and punched hole TO prove the geol

It's very simple thing, you see. Only
punch the belt. II you get outside the

pensive tastes which require a good deal
of hard cash to crafty, and oil the poor

Nothing easier than that. The bell

other vegetables exceeds 81 a dozen

1t is the actual experience Of more

decreases one-third as soon as the retail
price of ordinary canned vegetables
passes ten cents.
The timed plates used for roofing
purposes does not equal five per cent. OF
the annual import. On the other hand

ACROSS THE ANDES IN PALACE CARS.
The Railroad to Be Finished In 1909.
Three Gauges-EnOrmOus Grades.

The Railroad to BE Finished In 1909.
Three Gauges-EnOrmOus Grades.
The year 1892 will probably be signal
lied in South America by most inter-
esting event in civil engineering and in
international overland commerce. This
will be nothing less than the completion
and opening of another railroad line from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the first
across the continent of South America.
1t is nineteen years since this work was
begun, and it is now confidently expected
that it will be finished by the beginning
of 1892. The road is to run from Buenos
Ayres to Valparaiso, a distance of 871
miles. There are now $40 miles of it
finished at the Buenos Ayres end and
eighty-two at the Valparaiso end. Of the
remaining 149 miles about one-third is
practically complete, the rails being laid.
The passage of the Andes is accomplished
at the Cumbre pass, which is 1905 feet
above sea level. The railroad, however,
does not reach the summit of the pass
but pierces the mountains by means Of
tunnel more than three miles long, at
an elevation of 1O,450 feet above the sea.
This makes it one of the highest, if not
the highest, railroad in the world. There
is nothing in Europe to compare with it.
The st. Gothard railroad is 3,789 feet
high, and that on the Rigi only attains
an elevation of 5,753 feet The grades
are, of course, very steep. For con-
siderable distance the rise is more than
422 feet to the mile, or one foot in every
twelve and half. On this portion of the
line rackrail is employed similar to
those on the Hartz and other mountain
roads.
One unfortunate feature of the road,
which will seriously impair its value, is
the diversity of gauges adopted. The
different sections of the road have been
built by different companies. and each
company has its own gauge Thus there
are GAO miles from Buenos Ayres to Men
doza of 8 feet Q inches gauge. the eighty
two miles from Valparaiso to Santa Rosa
