"A New State Wanted.

A special from West Superior. Wis, April
10, says:
1t is seriously proposed here to create a
new state by taking part of the three
states of Minnesota. Wisconsin and Mich
igau, which will be known as the state of
superior" or 1.-The Mineral State.''
What is aimed at particular is to place
the three great iron ranges, the Vermi lion,
the Mesaba and the Gogebec. in one state
so that the interests of none of them could
be injured by conflicting leg station and all
might be treated from the same basis.
The new state would be one of the richest
in wealth in the union; it wou have more
than 500 miles of water front and contain
the head of the lakes,'' which is the gate
way for the trade and commerce of the en-
tire northwestern country. Agitation of the
subject will begin immediate throughout
the three comm on wealths involved.

anger succeeded the premature citation of
Captain General Caleja over the supposed

unusual efforts to capture him the willy Gu
ban general donned disguise and went to
the front in command.
Colonel Guerra was the one captured,
while Maceo escaped to the mountains with

ever, he will be captured, as many small

Smith and Shockley.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April 22.-The board
of managers of the soldiers home discussed
for some time the situation at the Leaven-
worth home. The trouble there is the sub
ject of report made by special sub-com-
mittee of the board last year. At the
meeting some months ago this report was
considered and the board appeared divided
On the matter of ousting the higher officials
there and putting others in their places. 1t
was the opinion of half of the board that
the best way to stop the trouble between the
governor Of the home, Colonel Smith, and
the secretary and treasurer, Major Shockley,
would be to ask for designations of BOTH
But no action was taken and the mutual
friends of Smith and Shockley made an
effort to bring about reconci iation, and it
has been intimated to the board by the
friends of both that the trouble would likely
remain buried if nothing more was done.
1t seems that this representation was made
to the mem berS of the board at the present
meeting, and it was concluded to take no
further action the special report made at
this meeting The report can be called up
at any time and acted upon, and it is likely
that it will remain in this attitude to remind
those personally interested that it would be
well to keep quiet in the future.

veyed from Monterey, which is now known as
the Fresno and Monterey road and that con-
tract had been already let to a responsible
firm to construct this road at SIT 900 per mile.
The country through which this road would
run, via Monterey, while not as productive or
great as Santa Clara Valley, offers sufficient
freights to make the road self-sustaining.
Iwould also urge that the Santa Clara route
be adopted, as by that route you could
reach point IN the San Joaquin connecting
with the road from Stockton within a shorter
distance by many miles from San Francisco.
The projectors of the road from Monterey to
Fresno are now understand, quite willing to
join with this board and transfer the rights of

bill referred to is that authorizing the Har-
Dor Commissioners to lease to the directors
of the valley road desirable terminal facili-
ties on the water front.
The directors were naturally highly
gratifed that success had finally attended
their efforts and several of them expressed
the opinion that the lease would probably
be signed, before the expiration of this
week.
The next important action was the pass
ing of resolution that the board accept
the invitation of the people of Stockton to
visit that city, and tomorrow was named
as the day for the trip. The board will
leave here in the evening and will prob
ably spend all of Friday and possibly a
portion of Saturday in looking over the
advantages which Stockton has to offer the
road.
After the Stockton trip a similar visit to
San Jose will be made, but the date of that
event has not vet been set.
Engineer Storey will accompany the
board on both occasions and give the mem
bers advice as to the eligibility of proposed
routes, at the same time acquiring infor-

as is possible to make from all figures obtain
able, that the products of Santa Clara County
alone will supply train of twenty-five cars
every day in the year.
E. AS will be seen by these statistics, the Santa
Clara Valley is large producer, and the
amount of money now paid for freights and
fares is strong argument why this board
should decide to build through the Santa Clara
Valley.
There are other gentlemen here who viii
speak upon other points in advocacy of our
interests.
J. H. Henry, president of the San Jose
and Santa Clara Electric Railway Com
pany and large capitalist, was the next
speaker. He said
have few solid facts here which would
like you to consider. l take it that the
purpose of this board of directors is to
build a road which, primarily, is to
be paying investment: and secondarily,
to build up the city and county of San Fran
cisco, as many of your promoters are large
owners of real estate and business interests of
San Francisco. would, therefore, call your
attention first to the proposition of building a
paying road.

way, now held by them to this company. 1t
will be noted that they have done consider
able grading and have completed surveys over
a perfectly practicable route which are now of
mucn value.
Mr.. Wooster was then asked by one of
the directors how much it would take to
secure this right of way, but he was un-
able to state definite sum, but said he
was given to understand by Mr.. Sonntag and
others in Monterey that the price would be
very reasonable. Mr.. Wooster continued /:
l will also call attention to a bonus that has
been raised by the people along the route of
$150,000. The terms of this bonus are that
the sums would be paid providing the road
should be completed by July / next. This Is now
physical impossibility, and understand the
subscribers are not willing to make good this
guarantee, but on the other hand are most
willing to make double that amount good in
subscriptions to stock in the new road
Granting that you would build the road from
Stockton down through the San JOAQUIN VAL
ley, this road running from San Francisco

of tons of freight, in addition to what are
now sent out from that section. He also
claimed the climatic conditions and the
direct short route connecting with the
metropolis advantages which should
not be overlooked. He said he would do
all in his power toward obtaining the
right of way through Santa Clara County,
and also in securing the guarantees of
shipments of freight and products from
that valley. Mr.. Murphy spoke most posi-
lively of the feasibility of the route through
the Pacheco or Los Augulos pass.
W. G. Andrews, manager of the Farmers
Union, San Jose, and president of the
Board of Trade, urged the board to adopt
the Santa Clara route. He assured the
board of the active cooperation of the
Board of Trade of San Jose and the large
fruit drying and canning associations, and
believed that not only additional subscrip-
tions could be obtained, but also terminal
facilities in San Jose suitable in every way
to accommodate the great traffic which the
new road will secure.
c.. NJ. Shortridge concluded the presen-
tation of Santa Clara's claims by an analy-
