The Train Lain.

The last rail was laid, and the last
spike driven on Wednesday afternoon
that placed Custer in railroad connect
ton with the outside world. Who can
fully realize the deep significance Of
this long desired, impatiently awaited
and pre-eninently important event.
BY this most important consumma-
ton the Pioneer City shakes off the
bonds of isolation, and triumphantly
enters the charmed circle of accessible
commercial cities. The advent of this,
Clusters first railroad, may be accepted
as the initial step, in the history Of her
future commercial progress, which we
have every reason TO believe will be fol-
lowed by the rapid strides which have
ever marked the course Of advancing
civilization in the great west.
Custer is but an infant, that yesterday
so to speak, was loatingupon the sea of
chancery to-day she has entered the
coveted harbor of her long deferred
hopes and looking back upon her past
career, beset with countless yicissitudes,
now happily concluded, we are so COM
ple,ely overwhelmed with JOY, that it is
with difficulty we find language that
will even suggest the intensity Of our
unspeakable graft fication.
The advent Of the B. & NJ. means
more forth Custer than can be set for in
a single newspa per article, and we
must therefore resort to desultory re-
~ferences from time to time in order TO
fully enumerate the multitudinous adj
vantages resulting from railroad connec-
ton. The first regular passenger train
will probably arrive tomorrow. (Sun-
day and on Monday the first freight
train is expected, after which regular
trains Will arrive and depart from this
city.
Now do we most earnestly invite the
people of all sections to come to Custer,
investigate our wonderful resources, en-
JOY our most exhilerating atmosphere,
and bask in the superlative beauties of
u delightful and exceptionally charm
ing mountain scenery.

PLANTERS CONVENTION.
Annual Meeting of the Planters Labor
and supply Company.
FOURTH Day.

L uG mcclInS CdHlc w OLdSA
Thursday morning, at $40 o'clock.
Present J. F. Hackfeld, T. r.
Walker, FL. baldwin, p. c. Jones,
q. Renton, J. r. Renton, W. K.
Castle, G. n. Wilcox, E. c. Bond,
W. o. Smith, J. B. Anterior and
c. r. Bishop.
The minutes of the preceding day
were read and approved.
The bill drafted by the Commit
tee on Labor was presented to the
meeting. The committee had had
a meeting with the House Commit
tee, which had been fruitful. The
House Committee was to be met
again by this committee this after
noon. Section of this bill, they
thought, should be stricken out.
Mr.. w. 0. Smith contended that
the bill would be imperative, be-
cause no one was named in it with
the power to enforce it.
Mr.. w. r. Castle said that it would
be the duty of the Sheriff and At
torney- General to prosecute under
it-just as for any other offence.
To specifically authorize them to
prosecute would be mere sur
plusage.
Messrs. Castle and Smith dis
cussed at length the ACCESSIBILITY of
making any use of the United
Chinese Society.
Mr.. Hackfeld thought we could
not get any Chinese laborers with
out the aid of the Chinese societies.
One difficulty about this law is that
the Chinese might not give us any
labor until they were provided
themselves. Now, a laborer might
run away and start vegetable
garden. He would be an agricul-
tural Iaborer and would not have
to 60 back. Then again we would
be dependent on the Chinese COM
panies.
Mr.. Walker suggested empower
ing the Minister of Foreign Affairs
to contract with the United Chinese
Society only.
Mr.. Castle stated he had no OBJ
lection, but q member of the COM
mittee lad thought it preferable to
leave it to the discretion of the
| Minister. He thought great
many of the Chinese would be will
ing to enter into contracts when
they got here.
Mr.. w. O. Smith said that Section
2 should read, the Minister "may ~
issue permits, not " shall ;" issue.
Mr.. Hackfeld suggested that the
applicant might be compelled to
prove that the labor was needed.
Mr.. Castle suggested that the per-
mits might be issued only with
the concurrence of the Board of
Immigration. The wording nshall'
was not his, but he had copied it
from several of the House bills. He
would move to amend to that effect
This amendment was adopted.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that Section 4 was superfuous OF
that if retained the word "wilfully'
should be inserted.
Mr.. W. 0. Smith thought with
out q photograph there could be
no means of identification, and Sec
ton might as well be stricken
out.
After making some other minor
recommendations, no quorum being
present, final action was deferred
and the meeting was adjourned til
$50 A. NJ, Friday.
