Report Of Chief Engineer Payne Re-
cemmends a complete System for
Western Warrington.
Tacoma Globe, April q.

Tacoma Globe, April q.
A big roll of manuscript was ex-
pressed Vice President HOlcomb, of
the Union Pacific Railway Company,
from Tacoma, Saturday. Chief Engi-
near Bogue, of the Union Pacific, was
the sender Of the manuscript, and its
contents were his recommendation
regarding the extension of the Union
Pacific into Washington.
The subject matter of the manu-
script was the result in writing OF
weeks of research, of half a dozen sur
veys, of the result of personal inspec-
ton and investigation of the territory
Union Pacific has its eyes upon in
the State of Washington in general,
the great Sound country in particular.
Engineer BOgue has recommended
to the directorate Of this road, which
meets in Boston next Friday after
noon, that the Union Pacific act indie
pendently of all other lines in its pro-
posed invasion of Washington. He
recommends further the immediate
construction of o railway from Port
land across the Columbia river to
Vancouver, to Seattle direct. He sets
forth exhaustively why this should be
done. He advocates no mutual traffic
arrangement with another line. His
company, he suggests in his manu-
script, should enter the new territory
handicapped by no other road. 1t
should make of the country its own
field as much as possible, hence the
necessity of the building and operat-
ing line OF its own in Washington.
Further recommending, Mr.. Bogue
advocates the construction of no less
than five "feeders" or tributaries to
the main trunk. The first of these
should run from Vancouver nearly
due east to a point near the Cascades
on the Columbia river. The second
should run from a point on the main
line due east from Centralia to a point
near Gray's Harbor, in fact, on that
harbOr and opposite Gray's HarbOr
city. The third should commence on
the main line at a point near AldertOn
and extend to Tacoma. The fourth
should be built from the main line
to point near Durham and the coal
fields, which latter it has transpired
the Union Pacific company owns.
Mr.. Bogue's fourth recommends
ton is that the Tacoma division be ex-
tended to Olympia and to Port Ange
les and deep water. To give in iull
the recommendations, details of grade,
cost of construction, etc, and reasons
for the advocacy of the plans out
lined by the chief engineer would fill
a small sized volume.
He advocates the immediate COM
OF construction work on
the main trunk, and Of the branch of
the line to Tacoma, Olympia and
Port Angeles. He is of the opinion
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1890-04-25

this main trunk and branch line
could be made ready for operation
within fifteen months. The engineer
gives the country, its products, pros
poets and people great send-of, and
says he know q no better field for
railway development than Western
Washington affords. He goes ex-
haustively into descriptions OF the va
rious points the road would touch in
its northwest march and at length de-
scribes the principal depots, Tacoma,
Seattle, Olympia, etc.
Engineer Bogue will not 60 East to
attend the directors meeting. He
will rem in between here and Port
Townsend until the directorate an
nounces its intention regarding this
State. With the adjournment of the
meeting there Friday it is probable
that everything concerning the Union
Pacific's proposed move northward
from Portland will be made public.

REPRESENTATIVE Wilson has downed
Senator Allen in the appointment of
the Postmaster at Edison. The bone
Of contention was q small one, but the
mastifs fought with all the grit
that usually attends such engage
ments. 1t appears that the present
incumbent, p. NJ. Peters, was ap-
pointed by Senator Allen when he was
Delegate last year. His term would
not have expired for about three years.
Several men of political influence rep
resented to Congressman Wilson that
Peters did not reside within the limits
OF Edison and that he employed a
Democratic deputy to do the work.
Wilson recommended Cain. Senator
Allen objected, and for several weeks
the appointment was hung up, while
. hot correspondence has been kept
up on the subject. Wilson has, how
ever, demonstrated that he is Able,
and has literally raised Cain with Mr..
Aliens prospects.

4 VOTE TO BE REMEMBERED.
New Delta.

| There is one phase OF this lottery
matter that we desire be not lost sight
Of. There is one fact connected with
this contest for recharter that should
be indelibIy imprinted in the memory
OF every Louisianian. On Monday
June 80, 1890, when the lottery bill
was before the Senate on its second
reading, Senator Murphy. Foster Of
fered the following amendment
"The Louisiana State Lottery is prohibit
ed from using directly or indirectly, any
money or moneys to influence any voter
to vote for the passage of this amendment
| or to secure its passage, the use of money,
either given directly or indirectly to the
voter or to any candidate for State, dis
trict or parochial, who may be candidate
for election at the time this act is to be
aforesaid shall ipso facto vacate the cleo
ton, and render null and void all woes
cast for this amendment, and shall forfeit
and annul all rights and privileges which
the said John A. Morrison his assigns,
may acquire should q majority of the yotes
be in favor OF the amendment
This looks like very simply, honest,
straightforward amendment In plain
English it means that if Morris or any
OF the beneficiaries should use bribery
to carry the election then the election
shall be null and void. It simply pro-
vides that the power of money shall
not be used to stifie the voice of the
people and to control the verdict Of
the country at the ballot box.
If the lottery only desired a fair,
free unbiased expression of the wishes
of the people /; if it wished only to as
certain the sense of a. majority of the
voters OF the State on the lottery ques-
ton if there was neither desire nor
intention to use money in the propos-
ed election, why was this proposed
amendment not agreed to? For it
was not. Tt was voted down the lot
tery's supporters voting solidly against
it. The lottery wanted no such an
amendment in its bill?, Why? In
the name of free people we ask, why !?
For what reason did the lottery object
to an amendment which punished
bribery with nullity OF the vote? II
bribery was not resorted to the pro-
posed amendment was as harmless as
dove. If no money was used directly
or indirectly to purchase the passage
of the lottery bill by the people the
amendment fell into state Of 4.innoc-
uous desuetude."
But the. amendment, so harmless if
no evil intent existed, was voted down.
This barrier against the use of money
was swept aside from the path Of the
gamblers and the road to bribery made
plain and clear. We want the people
to remember this. There exists no
statute by which the use OF money to
bribe voters to vote for this amend
.ment can be punished. No law can
touch it and when it was proposed not
to punish the brihers BIZ fine Or impr;z
sonment, but simply u make The
bribery defeat its own object, it was de-
feated. The best evidence that one de-
sires to do certain thing is that he
refuses to permit any obstacle to be
placed in the way Of his power to do it.

CONGRESSMAN BLANCHARD ON
THE LOTTERY.

Shreveport, La, November Capt.
7. +. Bell, Chairman Executive Com
mittee Anti-Lottery League, Shrese-
port, La.-Dear Sir: | regret that i'll
ness prevents me from being present at
the anti-lottery meeting tonight. But
for that circumstance / would be in
attendance and speak the sentiments /
cherish in opposition to the attempt
that is being made to fasten on the
State for another term of years the
disgrace of the Louisiana State Lottery
Company. l am in full sympathy
with the great movement Of the peo-
pie which looks to preventing this.
Nor is this position new 10 me. I
have been steadiastly opposed to the
lottery from the time first began to
take an interest in public affairs. AS
representative delegate from the par
ish of Caddo to the constitutional con-
vention of 1879, / was one OF the
leaders in that body Of the movement
to destroy the lottery. ] considered it
then an institution in the highest
degree hurtful to the wellbeing of the
State, and my opinion in this regard
has strengthened as the years went by.
The lottery company should not be
tolerated a moment in Louisiana after
its present charter expires. Louisiana
should range herself in line with her
sister States of the Union-all OF whom
without exception refuse legal recogni-
tion to lottery concerns. The en-
lightened sentiment of the people of
the United States is opposed to lot
teries, and this has found expression
in the recent enactment by Congress
OF wise law prohibiting the use OF
the mails as vehicles for the transac-
tion of lottery business. Let the peo-
pie of Louisiana do their duty in this
regard; let there be no compromise
with an institution which, if rechart-
cred, will do an hundred fold more
harm than can be compensated for by
all the money which can be paid !; let
the great work of organization to
defeat this movement go on.
Very truly yours,
N. G. BLANCHARD.

COLD COMFORT.

Mr.. Editor The Courier in its
last issue copies from the Pointe Cou-
pee Democrat an article headed: "Re-
action lin which the writer says that
the people have in part recovered from
the "Anti-Lottery craze" and he sees
many evidences OF returning good
sense, etc.
Are any OF the following facts evi-
dences of any such Reaction ?"
The United States Express Company
has issued orders to its employees,
forbidding them from acting as agents
to the Louisiana State Lottery, or as
sisting them in the transaction of their
gambling business.
Adams & Co.'S. Express, which began
business in 1889, the first Express Co.,
has recently given instructions to its
agents and employees, reciting the
fact of the passage of the law closing
the mails to the Lottery, and declaring
that it is as much the duty of express
companies to further the objects aimed
)at by the law as it is of the employees
of the Post Office, they forbid their
agents to act as agents for the Lot
terry, or to give them any assistance in
any way.
Wells Fargo & Co.'S. Express has re-
Gently issued circular order to its en-
employees notifying them that they
must not act as agents for the Lottery.
AS matter of course an express
company can not refuse to take and
carry package to Mr.. Dauphin, but
these circular orders go to show that
they will be glad when they will no
longer be forced to do SO.
The Dominion of Canada will not
allow the tickets of the Louisiana Lot
terry to be brought in either through
the mails or through its Custom
Houses-they must be smuggled.
Do these express companies turn
then backs to the Lottery simply as a
matter of policy, or because they are
crazy? some of the Lotteryites claim
the ants are, or is it done at the de-
mands of an honest public sentiment !?
No, Mr.. Pointe Coupee Democrat,
you can not comfort the Courier with
any such evidences of Reaction
they read the hand writing on the
wall: Meme, meme tikel upharsin,
which translated into the language OF
this country means "The Lottery must

THE UNITED STATES EXPRESS co.
AND THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
New York Evening Call.

The business men of this city ought
not to overlook the remarkable action
of the United States Express Com
pany in refusing to carry packages Of
lottery tickets for the louisiana State
Lottery. The State ef Louisiana is in
the grip of this monster, and is strug-
Cling to shake it of. Congress has
tried in vain to kill the lottery by
shutting it from the mails. Unable
to use the mails for its demoralizing
commerce it turns to the express COM
panies. The United States Express
Company, rejecting every offer Of
money, has firmly refused to furnish
any facilities for the carriage of lottery
packages.
It's sole resource and reliance now is
the great Adams Express Company.
If that company were to do as the
United States Express has done, the
Louisiana Lottery would be shut up in
New Orleans, the only city in the
country that will harbor such an en-
terprise, and the charter OF l.the lot
terry company would become of little
value.
The decent people of this country
should never stop the agitation until
this many-lived beast has finally drawn
its last breath. They should remem-
Der the courage with which one cor
poration has attacked this evil. That
corporations have 40 souls" seems to
have at least one exception.
An ANTI-LoTTERy EXPRESS COMPANY
New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE board of
managers of the Adams Express Com
pany to-day held their first meeting
since the passage OF the United States
anti-lottery act.
The board was unanimously of the
opinion that the provisions of such
law were as morally obligatory upon
the company as they are legally bind
ing upon the postal authorities.
The attention of the board was called
to the fact that the post office depart
ment had issued regulations to all its
subordinates as to the manner in which
they should efectuate the provisions
and the intent of the act, and the
board adopted a resolution making
such regulations applicable to the en-
ployes of the company in like man.
