Legislation, especially relating TO wool,
and says, the Dingley bill which
would place a duty of so cents per
pound on foreign wool coming to
this country, would not advance
the price of wool in this Territory one

by political prejudices or else he Is

N REMEMBER THIS.
An Anonymous Writer Explains the
Disappearance of an Al
bany Man.

Recently the Denver Post published
an inquiry from the chief of police Of
Albany, N. Y, concerning Thomas
Masterson, formerly Of that city, whose
presence was wanted there owing to
the critical illness of his father. A let
ter received recently from Victor, Colo,
by Chief Russell, Of Denver, explains
the silence of the Albany man. The
writer, who signs himself Zone Who
Knows" says, s'Tom Masterson was
smothered to death in a boxcar with
TWO other men at Springer. N. NJ,
nearly two years ago by charcoal fumes
from q tinsmith's stove" The writer,
who does not divulge his identity,
gives no further particulars OF the
tragedy, which may have originated in
the brain of a fakir.

THE COMING MILLENNIUM.

As announced in the railroad Items
in THE Optic, of Saturday last, the
Atchison railroad disappointed an in
dustrial commissioner, whose duty IL
will be to build up and organize new
industries along the lines OF the road,
and induce immigration. We hope 1t
will not be long until he reaches Las
Vegas, and if he really be in earnest,
the people OF this city would give him
the greatest reception she has given
any man in years. There are oppor-
tunities in Las Vegas that are restless
under the grip that the railroad has
upon them. Among the most impor-
tant of these is the wool securing in
dustry. If every pound of wool that
leaves Las Vegas could be secured
here before being shipped, it would
give support to an hundred families.
We will gladly take the matter OF i'm
migration of these families off the
hands of the industrial agent if he will
first induce the company to give us as
low a freight rate on our secured woods
as 1t does from points where there IS
competition. We are not asking a
favor, but justice.
Tanning is another industry that can
be made TO pay in Las Vegas If the
railroad company will make a just rate
on finished goods and guarantee to
keep it there. We know one firm that
would probably branch out into this
business to the extent at least to keep
a dozen men employed, If they had no
fear that the screws would be put
down on their profits by the railroad
company after the business is fairly
established. Of course this would be
but a start in the tanning business here,
for "there's millions in it,"
J.C.sAdlon could do an immense bust
ness in his foundry II the railroad did
not charge him as much for the pig iron
and coal, as the finished work deliver
ed from Kansas City, costs the builder
here.
These are only a few things that the
industrial agent could start on, IN Las
Vegas. 1t would take columns to
snumerate our resources that could be
developed If the matter of freight rates
could be fairly adjusted. We dom
ask for q cent better rate than compe'
titive points have, but we do wfiths
uncer the fact that California, ships
wool, through here, to Boston, TO
about half what it costs us to get oul
WOOL to the eastern market.
