tense. The Judge delivered a lengthy
opinion Monday morning in which he
held that aliens had no right whatever

The Judge further held. following the
authority of the Supreme Court ofIdaho.
that to maintain suit for the possession
OF mining land, plaintiffs must allepe
citizenship or having declared intention

Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota in.
troduced on Tuesday of this week two
bills as the preliminary steps to the con-
struction OF another great trunk line to
the Pacific Ocean, as anticipated in the
dispatches. The Senator is one of the
principal incorporators of the Midland
Pacific railway company, which is
organized under the laws of South Da.
kota. and which proposes to construc ct a
line from Sioux Falls,S. D. to the Pacific
Ocean. passing through the state of
south Dakota, the territories of Wyo-
ming. and Idaho and the state of WASH
ington. The road has already been
commenced. several miles of track hay-
ing been laid to the west of Sioux Falls.
and hnal survey being completed the
entire length of the line. The comma.
ny intends to finish 100 miles of the
line this year.
The route of this road through Idaho
VIII be through the counties of Custer
and Lemhi, passing through Salmon
City and thence down the Salmon river
TO point near the confluence of that
stream with Snake river. at which point
the road may leave Salmon river and
pass through the intervening mountain
country to Lewiston, or as would doubt
less be better. it may follow the course
of the Salmon and Snake rivers to Lew.
iston.
The time allowed for the completion
OF the road (ten years. is more than
twice as long period as will be copsum.
ed, as the rapid settlement and deyelop-
ment OF the country along the line of
the road and the construction of short
er lines, penetrating the interior from
the west will compel the work to be
pushed on this through line at a rate
proporiioned to its pressing need.
The route down the Salmon and
Snake rivers presents several impor-
tant advantages, among which may be
mentioned Its entire exemption from
deep SHOWS and the comparative ease
with which the road-bed can be con-
strucied. Through Wyoming and Ida
no the road will traverse a region rich
enough In mineral, agricultural and pas
foral resources to insure lucrative way
Iramc from the start, and which will
constantly increase as the country be-
comes more settled and deyeloped
