Pacific Railroad hpaia,

WASHINGTON, d. c. Feb. 6.-Secretary
Hoke Smith, in conference with the
house Pacific railroads committe to-day.
advocated foreclosure OF the government
mortgage on the Pacific railroads and
resale OF the roads. He declared there
would be no difficulty in doing this with
out government ownership OF the roads,
to which he was opposed absolutely.
He recommended that congress pass an
act forieiiing the lands granted the two
companies, with an exemption in favor
OF bona fide purchasers from the rail
roads. II congress did not legislate he
would revoke his suspension orders and
patent the lands to the roads.
Concerning the granted lands OF the
Union and Central Pacific companies,
the secretary recommended that instead
OF proceeding TO patent these lands
to the roads congress pass an
act OF forfeiture which would exempt
bona fidc purchasers OF lands from the
railroad companies and provide for
patcnting the other lands to bona fide
purchasers. The general subject Of the
governments relations to the roads being
taken up. secretary Smith was a.ked by
Mr.. Boatner weather it was possible to
have foreclosure on the roads carried
out without government ownership.
"Yes SIR" answered the secretary;
there would be no difficulty. We should
approach this matter solely as repre-
sentatives OF the governments interests.
Other parties can be trusted to represent
themselves"
While he was utterly opposed to
government ownership. the secretary
said that the threat OF government
ownersh ip should not prevent the
government from foreclosing and making
a resale. As the lease OF tho control to
the Southern Pacific, foreclosure would
wipe that out, az that contract had been
made subject to the governments lien.
Secretary Smith said that any pur-
chaser Of the roads could pay fair rate
OF interest on bonds, pay n fair sum
every year for the redemption OF bonds,
and still have handsome profit. II any
company stood ready to purchase the
roads OF the government, giving first
mortgage bonds at 3 per cont and making
u small yearly payment on the principle.
the offer should be accepted.

A Pueblo gentleman returned from
Cripple Creek few days ago and gave
description OF the postoffice at that
place thst is hard to believe. Last week
the Associated Press sent out the follow
ing report from Cincinnatia. Ohio:
United States Postoffice Inspector ". T.
Fletcher has just completed singular
inspection OF the postofice at George
town, Ind, and put in new hands. This
is village Of GOO inhabitants. The
postoffce. for more than a quarter OF
century. has been administered by the
Metweiler family. father and daughter.
The father died 10 years ago. The
daughter, Louise Metweiler, now 60 years
old has been in charge ever since. In
spector Fletcher found the floor Of the
Office covered five feet deep with mali.
1t required two days hard work TO sort
it out. The old postmistress had lines
through this mass Of matter. Forty
carloads Of newspapers, some dated
back to 1876, were dumped. Over 10000
undelivered letters with unbroken seals
postmarked 20 years ago. were delivered.
Miss Metweiler lived in the same house
OF two rooms and had for her COM
panions ten cats. Thirty three pounds
Of copper cents. which, with silver coin,
amounted to over $780, were in the office. =.
II something is not done in the immedi-
ate future in the way Of providing better
facilities at Cripple Creek it will assume
in very short time the same appear
snces as that presented by the Indiana

THE PROMISED LAND.
Why the Tourist, Traveller and Student
should visit Utah,

WY INV soet'sA. fase'V ano eAeeoht
should visit Utah.
There are two reasons, either ono Of
which ought to be conclusive with every
American citizen.
First:-The-t trip from Denver to Utah
via Rio Grande Western. Great Salt
Lake Route" is the grandest to be found
anywhere on the continent. No Euro
pean trip OF equal length can compare
with it in variety and grandeur Of scene
ry and wealth OF novel interest.
Second:-You should go because.
when you have made this wonderful trip,
you will find Utah at the end Of it
Utah. one OF the worlds famous spots
and land OF gold, silver, copper. iron
and coal; Of lofty mountains and fertile
valleys; of vineyards, fruits and flowers.
Salt Lake City. the capital, is OF great
interest on account of it's historical and
religious associations. Here are Hot
Thermal Springs, Warm Springs, Sui
phur Springs. Sanitarium, Parks, Drives,
Canyons and the most healthful climate
on earth. Great Salt Lake with the new
and beautiful Saltair Beach Resort, OF
Moorish design, has no equal in America.

WAsHISGToS. Feb. 12,-In q con-
ference yesterday with representative
Shafro!h, Mr.. Johnston OF North Dakota
acknowledged that he used gold chart
in his speech as an illustration of the
fluctuations OF silver. MIR. Shafroth says
that as the whole point is taken out OF
John stons chart by the acknowledgment.
he makes no objection to the elimination
from the records Of his argument with
Mr.. Johnston. Mr.. Shafroth had intend
ed to make further point in the house
to prove his assertions, but Mr.. John
ston had agreed to make the explanation
and say that he was mistaken and Mr..
Shatroth was right.

The new $4,000 school building at
Telluride collapsed recently. 1t was
a three-story structure and was a
fine looking building. The inside walls
cracked and bulged out allowing the
joists to fall, causing total wreck.
The use Of inferior brick was the cause
Of the collapse.

of eight or ten miles on horseback. While on my way to court I was haiied by a young man who was engaged in blowing a hillside field a short distance from the road. I knew the man, and stopped. He was about my age, possibly year or so older. When he reached the fence he began a conversation about the best and cheapest means of acquiring knowledge, saying that he was ambitious to learn enough to enable him to make a living, but admitting at the same time his in- ability to buy books. I spoke to him as encouragingly as could, but was then young and poor and saw no way in which I could help him. Finally he told me that he had read several copies of the Congressional Record, and expressed a belief that a great deal might be learned from it, concluding by asking how 1t would be possible to obtain the Record regularly. | promised that l would see that lie got 1t and left him highly pleased. On my return home wrote to the con- gressman from the district, furnishing his name and address, as we'll as stating the circumstances of my forwarding thls young mans name, and was gratified few days later to receive letter from the congressman informing me that his name had been put on the Record mailing list. seldom saw the man after that, but about two years later learned that he was filling responsible place on one of the leading papers of the state, and he worked his way up in Alabama journal ism until he took rank with the leading editors of Alabama, and, by newspaper men, have been often told that he was one of the best equipped men in the busi- ness in the state. He is now filling a. re- sponsible place on one of the leading dal- lies in one of the largest cities in the country I feel no hesitancy in saying that the basis of the valuable information which this man possesses, and which makes him a desirable man in the market where brains command the highest price. was what he learned reading the Con- gressional Record.

TWO SPLIT LEGATIONS.
Somerville Got Five and MCCleary
Seven delegates For Con-
gresham.

There were whole lot of surprises
in store at the Republican county con-
vention held in this city last Friday
afternoon. In the first place some
Republicans we're surprised at the
anti-Clough sentiment prevailing all
over the county. This sentiment was
not only confined to delegates but it
was also confined to large number of
outside people. 1t was belligerent at
times and a good many we're bold
enough to state right out in public
that they wouldn't vote for Dave, if
he was nominateds Then there was a
surprise in store on the congressional
question. Quitsh number of Repub-
licans, realizing that George W. Som
srville of Sleepy Eye had no chance
before the Mankato convention, made
fight for.'that gentleman on the
ground that it was no more than right
that Redwood county should give its
neighboring town of Sleepy Eye a
complimentary vote. There we're also
some Republicans who were Somer-
vile men from the post.
A rather tall man, with a black
mustache and goatee, having all the
appearances of a St. Paul ward poll
tician, was here during the conven-

ton. He claimed to be a Democrat,
but he was booming Dave Clough
for all that there was in it. He was
on the street corners every now and
then with local Clough boomer and
some were unkind enough to remark
that he had Dawes barrel. The latter
was probably q mistake as there was
no barrel, or portion of barrel used
around 4he convention. The goatee
man told one local politician that ev-
cry politician ID the United States was
a liar, whereupon the local politician
got warmth the region of the jugular
and demurred to the complaint of the
goatee gentleman in very vigorous
manner. After entering a demurrer,
which was sustained promptly by the
bystanders, the goatee gentlemen de-
cided to appeal to the Supreme Court
of himself aud thereupon left the
crowd.
The delegates to the convention
commenced to arrive early. In fact, a
number of them came in the night
before. JAS. Larson was over from
Johnsonville the eyening before. So

men we're opposed to the scheme.
They were making the Gubernatorial
contest secondary consideration with
the congressional contest right at the
bead of the band wagon. There we're
also some Somerville men who wanted
to make the Governorship secondary
and on that issue the convention was
