The Va%nderbilts may vel operate
their own system of railways from At
lantic to Pacific. Some months ago it
was stated chat the New York men
were figuring for a majority vote in the
reorganization Of the Union Pacific and
a Possible extension west of the Ere,
NOM, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley
from Casper in the event they failed to
secure ccnCrol OF the Union Pacific.
The San Francisco Call declares that
the Nanderbilts are after an entrance
to San Francisco. tina: this was the OBJ
ject CT their recent western trip, and
thar the only missing link is the Gen.
trail Pacific from Ogden to San Fran
cisco.
CONTROL THE U. p.
The Call says: "A fact not generally
known is that among the me promi-
nent members CT the reorganization
committee Of the Union Pacific are
Chaulcey Depew. president of the New
York Central. and Marvin Hughitt,
president Of the Chicago and North
western, both entirely owned, as AL
ready stated. by the Vanderbilts. 1t is
also a fact well known to all weil-in,
formed rail DAD men, that while the
Fanderbilts, through their representa-,
tives, do not own a majority of the
stock of the Union Pacific, they still
control the d~estinies of that property
as much as if they did.
Thus they o. virtually possess one
continuous line from The Atlantic sea-
beard to Ogden, but 1913 miles from the
Pacific coast lire. and matters are in
condition to make it possible for them
10 cur possession Of the road that is
HOW their missing link.
AFTER THE CENTRAL PACIFIC.
IL has been a mater of comment in
railroad circles that. while c. p. Hunt
ington was making the fight for the
passage of the funding bill, providing
for the extension of the debt Of the
Central Pacific and Union Pacific rail-
reads. the representatives of the latter
property appeared TO be perfectly will
ing to let the president of the Southern
Pacific company bear the brunt of bat
tie. 1t is now pointed out hal the
N~anderbilts, who are more largely in
in the Union Pacific than any
other person, took little interest in the
great issue at Washington. This is ex-
planned by their peculiar position in the
railroad world at the present time.
Had the funding bill passed they
would have acquired the Union Pacific
On easy terms. Its defeat. however.
was not a very d~istressful matter t.
them. 1t means that the time is so
much nearer when the government will
have to foreclose on bogh the Union
Pacific and the Central Pacific, and this
IL the opportunity that Inc Vanderbilts
sand prepared to take advantage Of.
The loss of the Central Pacific would
mean to Huntington vass..y mere than
the mere ~pecuniary damage he would
presumably suffer directly. 1t would
open his Southern Pacific railroad-the
Eei of his declining years-to the as
saults of the mos. dangerous kind OF
competitor.
This competitor would be in a posi-
ton to dictate to every G~ranscontinen-
tai connection IN the country. VITA a
route giving them ,the shortest possible
haul between the Two oceans
Huntington's southern Il would no
longer be the mint" hat it is now re-
putei to be.

Prof. Nelson's Good Work in the Big

The Buffalo Bulletin says: Prof. A.
Nelson, the botanist OF the state uni
versity. spent two days in town-or
more correctly, out OF town-last week.
He arrived Friday evening from Sheri-
dan and returned on MONDAY morning to
the same place. Prot. Nelson called on
the Bulletin editor and renewed the ac-
quhin.ance first formed in Laramie
during the meeting of the editorial as
ISOLATION.
The professor is very modest with re-
gard to his own achievements, but he Is
continuing a work of great scientific
Importance, that of determining the flo-
ra Of the state of Wyoming. He has
visited the country in the neighborhood
Of Sundance. Sheridan and Dome Lake
this summer, and has added about 200
varieties to the known fora OF Wyo-
ming. The professor tells us that Ne,
bmska claims more Towering plants
than any state in the union, the num-
Der being between thirteen and four.
teen hundred, but he hopes az a result
OF this trip to identify a still larger
number of the species from Wyoming.

MEXICO is ON the BOOM.
1t Is Not Asking international Per.
mission to Breathe.

The Denver Republican of recent date
contains long interview from J. H.
Coloney, formerly of Canton. Mr.. Col
oney is engaged in raising coffee in Mex
leo. After reviewing the splendid fnan-
cial condition of Mexico and pointing
out the advantages of that country under
the silver standard, he says:
From purely personal and business
standpoint | do not want to see the
United States adopt the free coinage of
silver. So long as the gold standard pre-
vail, in this country and Europe we sell
our products for gold and pay our men in
silver. The result is that we make money
much more rapidly than we do in silver.
On the other hand we have to pay gold
prices for whatever we buy from Europe,
and the result of that is that large
amount of money is being invested in the
construction of factories and IN very
few years we will be practically indepen-
dent of the other nations. This is an
argument in favor of free silver and
want it understood that logically am a
free silver man, though am benefited by
the results Of the gold standard in this
country. The people of Mexico get as
much for the Mexican dollar as your
people do for an American dollar, while
for what they produce they get gold,
which they Immediately turn into silver
for their uses. 1t will be readily seen
that if this is kept up for any length Of
time we will absorb an enormous amount
of gold, for we do not have to turn all the
gold we receive into silver, but have
surplus left after paying our labor and
living expenses.
'.There Is a very common goldlte argu-
ment,' continued Mr.. Coloney, that if
we have free silver our laboring men in
this country will have to come down to
the basis of wages in Mexico. Now these
people are either ignorant of the real
situation or they are concealing the facts
| We pay so cents day and rations to our
men. But they are farm hands, and one
white man from the United States will do
more work than three Of them. But
| white men cannot work in that climate.
For the same class of work in this coun-
try you pay from S25 to $50 per month
and board, so the factis that in Mexico
we are paving more for the same work
than you are paying here We employ
the labor that we have at hand because
we can get no other. not because we want
toes We employ on our plantations about
400 men. We could do the same work
with l25 white men. and we could pay
the white man S45 month and make
moaey on the saving III rations, for II
costs as much to keep a Mexican In food
4 as it does a white man, and would like
| to know where in the United States a
farm aborer is getting $45 a month and
board. Skilled labor in Mexico is paid
much better than in this country. Rail.
road conductors get SITS month and
engineers and skilled mechanics of alI
classes receive from S6 to 81 per day. The
fact il that the United States will be
compelled to adopt bimetallism sooner o1
later or see its manufacturers pass into
the hands Of the silver using nations .

PAID OUT sl4.5oo.
Just the Monthly Payment Of Ono
Creamery Company.

Tuesday was pay day for the Belle
Springs Creamery company and the
1918 patrons Of the company were
paid $14,5O0 in cash for milk fur
nished last month. Over $ll, 900 OF
this is paid in Dickinson county, the
remainder being in Clay and Saline
where are located branch creamery
stations. There is considerable vari-
ance in the the quality OF milk
as shown by the tests. The but
ter fat test Of 1858 patrons was 4
per cent. and over; 552 were 3.7
to 4; 1853 we're S.5 to 81; 80
were 8. to 3.5; 2 were under 3 per
cent. The average price for all milk
received was 52i cents per hundred
weight. The price paid by test is IA
cents per pound for butter fat.
The above is the kind Of news the
REFLECTOR likes to publish. The
creameries are doing more for Dickin-
son county than any one kind Of
institutions in it. They are making
a market for the milk Of the county
that is netting the farmers many
times what could be received by the
old method Of marketing butter in
the ordinary way. The $1,000 paic
out BY this one company this month
is supplemented by as much mort
paid by other creameries and alto
gether making over $4,000 a montl
in hard cash put into the pockets 0
the farmers. The work of th'
creameries is worthy Of all praise ant
Is something to make the county a
well as the managers Of these insti
tutions proud Of their success.
