MONTANA, OREGON AND WASHINGTON

MONTANA, OREGON AND WASHINGTON.
The Northern Pacific X. r. passing through
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon
and Washington was the first line to bring the
region occupied by these states into communi-
cation with the east Its main line and branch
es penetrate all sections of these states, reach
ing nine-tenths of the chief cities. 1t is the
short line to Helena and Butte, Mont, Spokane
Falls, Tacoma and Seattle, Wash, and Port
land, Ore, and the only line running through
train service from the east through the states
of Montana and Washington. Pullman sleep
ers ana furnished tourist sleeping cars are run
via the Wisconsin Central and Northern Pacific,
and Pullman palace sleeping cars via Chicago,
Milwaukee st. Paul and Northern Pacific,
from Chicago through to the Pacific Coast with
out change. This is the Dining Car nd Yellow
stone Park route. The large tray on the
Northern Pacific lire necessitated the inaugu-
ration in June, 1890, of Il second through train
to the Pacific Coast, thus enabling this road to
offer the public the advantage of two through
trains daily TO Montana and points in the
Pacific Northwest, carrying complete service
of sleeping cars, dining cars and regular day
coaches. The train leaving st. Paul in the
morning runs via the recently completed air
line of the Northern Pacific through Butte,
Montana, making this the shortest line to the
latter point by 100 miles.
Colonists for Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia points should take no other line than
the Northern Pacific, as by this line only can
all portions of the state of Washington DO
seen. Stop-overs are allowed on second class
tickets at Spokane Falls and all points west,

out extra expense

He set several large wire traps and had soon
caught twenty or thirty of thespesky creatures
Having caught them tue next thing was TO kill
them. Oscar thought the matter over and
decided on plan. He took the cages contain

plank on the window sill and the traps on the

he had violated a law passed by the last legis-
lature providing that all rats must be executed

oscar was given heavily insulated wire in

dead as the proverbial door nail To say that
Oscar was pleased is to put it too mildly. He

The Middle Georgia and Atlant,,

1t looks now as if the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic railroad would be built. It's pro-
moters are energetic and determined, and
they have very clear idea, apparently, of
what is necessary for them to do to achieve
success. In company with a number of north
ern capitalists, they are taking a look at the
country tributary to the proposed line of
the road. 1t is expected that they will be
in Savannah tomorrow. What they will
see here will encourage them greatly.
It seems that a seaboard terminal for the
road has not yet been decided upon.
Charleston, Port Royal and Savannah are
under consideration. 1t is not probable,
however, that a great deal of thought las
been given to either Charleston or Port
Royal. The natural seaboard terminal is
Savannah, and to Savannah those who are
building the road want to come. They will
think Of Charleston or Port Royal only in
the event that they cannot reach the river
front here at cost which they may regard
as reasonable.
1t is quite certain that they will find the
city council disposed to render them every
possible assistance. The South Bound was
dealt with literally, and the same spirit
will be shown in dealing with the Middle
Georgia aad Atlantic.
A terminal site would cost more here.
of course. than at either Charleston
or Port Royal. and it is worth vastly more.
What business would a railroad get from a
place like Port Royal? There is nothing
there to Distribute. Something would be
brought there for the interior. if the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic should make its sea
board terminal there, but the amount of
passenger aud freight traffic which it would
furnish to a railroad within the next ten
years would be very small.
Savannah is large and growing city.
having an immense business She would
furnish the new line with paying business
at once. 1t would be wiser, therefore, to
pay a reasonably large sum here for a ter
minal site on the river front than to accept
the gift of terminal site at Port Royal.
Every opportunity to see Savannah's ad-
vantages should be afforded the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic visitors tomorrow,
| or whenever they reach here. There is no
reason to doubt that when they understand
how great Savannah's commerce IS, and
what promising future she has, they will
not desire to look at any other place with
the view of selecting a seaboard terminal

The mormon church sim Defiant.

The Mormon Church Still Defiant.
The report which the Utah commission
made a day or two ago shows that tia Nor
mon church has not yet decided to obey the
Edmunds law. Although much has been
accomplished in the way of suppressing
polygamy, many polygamous marriages
are still contracted, and there is reason 70
believe that the church encourages them
OF course these marriages are contracted
secretly, and they are kept secret as long as
it is possible 20 do SO. Mormons do not ike
to be deprived Of the right 10 vote or to
hold Office, and hence, when they violate
the Edmunds law, they are extremely care
full to keep the fact from the public.
They are able to do this without much
trouble in great many communities. be-
cause, all the people beng adherents OF the
Mormon church, it is impossible to get reg-
issrars who will report cases OF polygamy.
The Mormon registrars, even though they
are not polvgamists, protect polygamists
who become known to them. Cases Of
polygamy are reported only from
those precincts in which the registrars
are not Mormons. 1t is apparent,
therefore, that it is impossible to state with
any degree Of accuracy the extent to
which the Edmunds law is violated. From
Sept. last year until Sept. 1 this year, 2J2
complaints were made for offenses under
the Edmunds law, and there were 1872 con-
victionS The commission is satisfied that
II all the offenses against that law during
the period mentioned had been bro ught to
the attention Of the authorities there would
have been great many more convictions.
The commission is of the opinion that
additional legislation is necessary before
polygamy can be suppressed. At present the
whole influence OF the Mormon Church is
against the Ednunds law. The head Of the
church is man named Woodruff. aud from
the pulpit OF the tabernacle in Salt Lake City
he tells the Mormons that there is not a
king, prince, nor president, or any other
man who has power over the sous of man,
but should give unto their subjects the
privilege of worshiping God according to
the dictates Of their own consciences:
the people ara not responsible to the
emperors, or kings, or presidents or
governors who rule over them"
Talk like this tends to embitter the people
against the government, and to strengthen
them in their opposition to the law. 1t is
no use to try to get them to abandon polyg-
amy by gentle means. The only hope of
suppressing it entirely is in viaor-
ously enforced lava That is the view
taken by the commission after several
years study of the subject. 1t recommends
again that in this matter the government
and congress should take no backward, or
even wavering step, but should continue
the active and vigorous enforcement of the
laws, and the improvement of them by the
amendment Of such as would make them
more effective, and by enacting such other
laws as experience may show to be wise and
more eff1cacious to accomplish the desired
end" This recommendation, it is pretty
safe to say, is generally approved. Public
sentiment throughout the country is in
favor of putting an end to polygamy.
