RAILWAYS IN THE WEST.

The Denver Republican, in an inter- esting article on the extension of rail ways in the Far West, gives some data showing the remarkable development of this great section of the United States, during the past ten years. At that date the Union Pacific was the only railway across the main range of the Rocky Mountains. The Continen- tai Divide is now crossed at ten differ ent places within the boundaries of the United States.
 Of transcontinental roads, the North ern Pacific was built only short dis tance into Dakota. The Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe stopped in Colorado at Pueblo, and its New Mexico line had not been extended as far south at either Deming or Fl Paso The Atlantic and Pacific had been built only few miles west from Albuquerque. It did moi cross the Continental Divide until the spring of 1881. The Texas and Pacific ended somewhere on the plains of Western Texas; it did not run trains into El PaSo until the latter part of 1881. Of all the five or six railways running in and out of Fl Paso, Tex, at the present time, not single one had foot of track laid in that town then. The Missouri Pacific had not so much as thought of crossing the plains. The Burlington stopped somewhere in Nebraska. It did not reach Denver until 1882. The Rock Island had not yet crossed the Missouri River.
 The review of the railway situation of ten years ago enables one to see what enormous strides the Far West has made in ten years. There is no other part of of the world which has deyel- oped so rapidly as this. If the next ten years shall be marked with like prosperity the close of the century will see every evidence of primitive or pio- neer life within the bounds of the United States removed forever. There then will be no unknown region in all our borders. Every nook and corner will be explored, and every section of the country will bo closely connected with all the others by rail.

A NEW AND Se,EL ExrEnrR,sr.

The Yuma Sentinel says GAS soon as the convicts get through running the cut in the hill west of the $. P. hotel they will be employed grading the hill south of the Prison walls When the latter work is completed, the construc- tion of a large water reservoir will be commenced. The reservoir will be used for the purpose of supplying the town with an abundance of pure water It is the intention of the Prison author ities to hurry this important work along so as to furnish the village of Yuma with Colorado river water at low fig ure, and at the same time have the rev enue so obtained pay heavy interest 10 the Territory on tho investment
 If.such is the intention of the prison authorities, they are not as jealous of the prerogatives of the people as were Sam Purtlay and John W. Darlington when, as members of the 10th Legisla- tive Assembly, from Yuma county, they voted against Territorial appropria- ton to assist in bridging Salt River in Gila county, and now that there is about to be pervertion of law, under their very noses, We expect their moral sensibiities will be so shocked as to cause wall of anguish that would stifle the devil, the father of all evil,
 We do not understand that the town of Yuma proposes to employ convict labor to construct large water reser- Soir, but simply to become q co-part- ner in the enterprise with the prison Commissioners, and without investing stiver share in the project to supply the town at ga low figure" with Colorado river water. Should the arrangement here contemplated be perfected it will necessitate the extension of the prison walls, for the reason that leased con yiet labor can be employed nowhere else. If arrangements of this kind can be legally entered into, Gila county should call upon the prison authorities to build the bridge, so greatly needed, across Salt river, in order that its rev enue may be materially increased.

The collector of customs of Nogales, Mexico, captured 300 head of cattle a few days ago belonging to parties on this side of the line, and then wrote to the City of Mexico for instructions what to do with them. He was immediately telegraphed to and told to deliver the cattle over to the persons claiming them, and to never again order cattle to be captured when they happen to estray over onto Mexican soil while pasturing. The official at Nogales didn't know that there was an understanding between the United States and Mexico concerning estrays into either country. Star.

The House has refused to concur in the Senate amendment to the sundry civil bill repeating the provision of the arid land act of October ?, 1888, with. drawing irrigabie lands from entry, and there seems to be little prospect of re, lief being granted settlers on these lands by Congress at tho present ses- sion. The amendment in the shape ii passed the Senate would give only par tial redress, at any rate, since it fails to validate entries made since the approval of the act. Our representative ap- pear to be trifing with this matter, which is of the very greatest importance f the people of the arid West. It is evident, as the BELT predicted would be the case, that the repeal of the ob- noxious clause of the Irrigation net will be difficult to effect.

THE SILVER EiEL

A compromise is seldom satisfactory to either party to it since 1t is reached only through concessions, on one or both sides, of points deemed of great importance. For this reason the silver bill recently enacted, and which goes into effect on the 18th proximo, is not all that could be wished by the friends of silver. The effect of the law upon the price of silver seems to be largely matter of conjecture, and wide range of opinion is expressed by the press of the country.
 During the first ten and half months from the time the law becomes opera tive, or until July 1, 1891, the coinage of 2,000, ,000 ounces of silver per month is made compulsory, After that time, however, only so much will be coined as to provide for the payment of the notes presented for redemption, the number of which, in view of t cir legal tender character and advantages over silver as circulating medium, will probably be small; and the consensus of opinion is that coinage of silver dol lars from that date will be very limited. In fact the silver market will then be controlled, largely, by the action of the Secretary of the Treasury who is given discretionary power far beyond what is considered by prudent finahciers, de- sirable or safe.
 That part of Sec. I which reads: ''The Secretary of the Treasurer is hereby directed to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 1, 4,500, 900 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered in oeoh month, at the saarhot price thereof, 7" admits of she construction putting the purchase of bullion under the law en- tirely within the control of the Secre- tary, as it will be for him to decide what the market price of silver is.
 Therefore, Secretary Windom has it within his power to defeat the object of the law, or by faithful administration, make if a benifcent measure which will bring increased prosperity to the whole country, and raise silver from its de- based position as q monetary metal to q parity with gold

The Fort McDowell reservation has been finally abandoned by the military and turned over as site for an Indian school. The reservation extends for fifteen miles along both sides of the Verde river, and is about six miles in width. All this land is retained for the use of the school, and it is asserted that irrigation ditches for the benefit of set tiers below the reservation will not be allowed to cross it. -Epitaph.

Frank Hudson. the English author, has
this to say upon the question as to whether
blondes are becoming extinct: Everybody
knows that the children playing round the
cradle of our race were all fair. The
ancient Hebrews-even they-were almost
to a man fair-haired, The old Greeks and
Romans, sprung from the gods, we're sunny
haired, as were also the old Venetians, as
Ruskin tells US. Why have all these peo-
pie changed! Why have we in these islands
changeds I'll tell you, sir-its all the
liver. That's what's the matter. | once
asked a physician why it was that DARK
haired people had such weak livers, while
fair people never knew whether or not they
had liver. His answer was: L cannot
tell you why, but you are right-dark-
haired people must be always careful Of
what they eat There Is the whole thing
in nut shell. Heaven sent us GOLDEN
haired women in the olden times when we
were good, and the devil sel1s us cooks
in modern times. when we are bad. Our
grandfathers' livers are ruined, and we
inherit their bile, which turns our hair
