Working mp the AIR Line.

Editor Cassidy, who is in San Fran
cisco, contributes the following TO his
paper, the Eureka Sentinel:
"Hon. A. C. Cleveland of White
Pine Is in San Francisco in the inter
est of bis Air Line Railroad. He has
lately been East and in Denver and
Salt Lake. His present visit to Cali
fornia is believed TO have for its
purpose a conference with the newly
formed Traffic Association of that
State. II cannot be denied that Mr..
Cleveland Is making strong effort 10
get his road started, whether be sue
ceeds or not. The route he is working
for comes almost due west from Salt
Lake, passing through Cherry Creek
and Egan Canyon, down Long Val
ley to Newark, and thence a few
miles south of Eureka and out by
Austin, West Gate, Sand Springs,
Saltwater ana Wadsworth, and over
into California by the Beckwith Pass.
The total distance from Salt Lake to
San Francisco by this route is little
owe 900 miles, or a little shorter line
than that of the Central Pacific. We
understand thai Mr.. Cleveland claims
that the prospects are excellent for
the beginning OF active work on the
Air Line in early spring. But obsta.
cles are to be expected at every turn,
and 1t will not do to become over san
guine until the dirt begins to fly. The
route from Austin to Salt Lake is about
as direct and practicable as there is
10 be had, but from Austin west it
would be more direct if it could cross
the Sierras further to the south ward.
The Beckwith Pass, however, is the
very best in the Sierra Nevada range,
being 1000 feet lower than any other
between the Oregon State line and
Mexico. and avoiding entirely the
necessity for snow sheds on any por-
ton Of the reute.''

Ranort offha state Board OF Assessors.
We are in receipt OF copy of the
first annual report OF the State Board
of Assessor and Equalization. As
the law creating the Board only re-
ouired it to report the biennially to
the Legislature, the object ofthe pres
ent report is thus accounted for by
the Chairman of the Board:
Believing, however, that the result
of tn cir first years work will be OF
material Interest to the taxpayers, as
we'll as beneficial to the several coun-
tv officers. in enabling them TO more
clearly understand the situation in
making their tax levy for the new
wear, they have decided to prepare
for distri button among the taxpayers
of the State brief statement OF facts
and figures covering the first years
operations under the new law. The
information gained in the work OF
the past year will be of value TO the
Board and also the County Boards,
Assessors and Auditors for future
reference, as it will give them a
clearer understanding of the law and
its requirements. thereby enabling
them to perform their duties more
thoroughly and, it is hoped, lessen the
liability for mistakes. II must be
admitted that mistakes have been
made and that, owing to the require
ments of the statute and slow means
of communication with some OF the
counties, neither the Board nor the
county officers have performed their
work perfectly under the law; yet we
believe that all have done As well as
possible within the time and under
the circumstances. Now, with per
sonal acquaintance with all the As
SCISSORS, and the Assessors with each
other, and more perfect understand
ing OF our duties, We are confident
the work during the coming year will
be less complicated and greatly i'm
proved. X. X. CoLeoRD'
Chairman of the Board.
The report contains full minutes OF
all the meetings of the Board during
the year, besides much valua5ls stat
istical information, and its publica
ton at this time cannot fail 10 have a
beneficial effect upon the modus OPP
erandi OF assessing property this year.

In the right; but we think it should
prompt Congress to at once amend

any minor, foreign born, that comes
to this country during his minority
should, upon reaching his majority,
be esteemed citizen, unless he ex-
pressly declares his intention OF Civ

his birth. 1t would save a vast
amount Of trouble. The experience
OF hundred years has demonstrat-
