Cheap fuel will make San Francisco one
of the greatest manufacturing cities of the
nation"
Fifteen miles of new road, standard
gauge, have already been constructed out
of Fort Bragg, which is to be the western
terminus and seaport of the line. The
survey then runs up the NOyo River for
twenty-one miles aud then in a northeast
erly direction through the Novo and Little
Lake divide, a distance of twelve miles to
the town of Willets. From that point a
line, thirty-two miles in length, will be
constructed to a junction with the San
Francisco aud North Pacific at Ukiah.
From the town of Willets another road
will run in north ess!erly direction, fol-
lowing the Little Lake outlet 20 the South
Fork of the Eel River and down that
stream to its junction with the Middle
Fork. The projected line then extends up
the Middle Fork to the Ukiah and Round
! Valley wagon road and thence to the coal
fields. The total length Of the surveyed
| lines is fraction over 100 miles.
! The maximum grade on the surveyed
route does not exceed 1 per cent, or 81 s
| feet per mile.
1t is estimated that the total cost of the
/ system ready for operation will be

at S546, 976 % and the operating expenses

| for such expenses.
Quite large lumber traffic is anticipated,
! as the men who are backing the road own
a valuable section of redwood extending
| from the coast thirty miles to the town OF
! Willets, but greater source of revenue is
expected from the coal fields. This city
| consumes more than 1000 tons a day, SO
| that an ample market would be afforded
| for the output of the coal fields.
The Mount Vernon coal mines, which

! The lode has been traced for a distance OF

Is about eighteen feet in thickness. Sew.

three to seven feet have been discovered

Disagreement Among the Men Affected by
the NOrtnern Pacific Strike.

ST. PAUL, April l6.--The strike on the
Great Northern railway is gradually
working east, having reached Grand
Forks, n. d., and IL not settled soon will
probably reach the end Of this line in two
or three days 1t Is developing a peculiar
state OF affairs The strike was ordered
by the American Railway union, and is
more actively antagonized by the railroad
employees brotherhoods than by the rail-
road company Itself.
There can be no doubt that the individ-
uals of the various brotherhoods are pri-
vately somewhat dissatisfied, but they re-
Gently accepted the revised schedules and
are standing by their agreements with
the company.
As far rs eau he learned, the road IA
nearly tied up over about 1900 miles of its
extent the number Of men idle being
much greater than the numb OF actual
strikers. As long rs the strikers can pre-
vent the making up Of trains, the train
crews, although willing to run the trains,
are helpless. Alta mum Der of points along
the line, the citizens have openly espoused
the cause OF the strikers, but 1t is not
thought any lawlsssness will be per-
mitted at any point

temperance ever since.
Mr.. Murphy thinks that II the majority
OF the people vote for license they should
have IL. aud that the surest way TO get rid
Of the saloons is 10 do everything possible
20 decrease their support. He believes
that total abstinence is the only solution
OF the liquor problem, and gives strong
reasons why thoroughly temperate

PETERS STATE SOCIALISM.

When Brer effer gets weary OF talking
on the Tariff, he disgresses upon his IA
vorite theme Of State employment for the
workless. In all seriousness he proposes
that bill should be passed authorizing
the immediate construction OF one rail-
road-a straight line-from the Allan.
tic TO the Pacific; and another from the
Great Lakes to the Cult.
Upon these gigantic enterprises he
would turn ali the industrial armies loose.
AS he omits totally to state where the
money for all this is to come from, IL is
probable that he intends to raise It by
fresh taxation. The influence that the
building OF new lines wonld have on the
prosperity OF the present ones which pro.
fess TO cover the Geld does not interest
him. He is so anxious for an experiment
In State Socialism that he cannot pause to
examine into its feasibility.
