NEW RAILROAD TALK.

The subject of building betweeA
Milford, Utah and Los Angeles Cal
is again being discussed. tn
operation of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn of roads by Receivers is about
to close. The prospectors purchas-
ers propose to secure a through

This is more necessary now than
heretofore on account of the seq
regation last spring, of the Oregon
Short Line from the Union Pacific
management and control, and must
be brought about to insure a profit
able operation of the new system.
The Vanderbilts are supposed to
be ready to bid in the Union Pacific
at the approaching sale and are
said to be already figuring on MAX
ing the extension southwest from
Milford, with active work to begin
this year.
The route proposed will utilize
the existing grade from Milford to
Meadow Valley Wash, this county,
whence it will proceed down the
Wash to the Muddy Valley and
thence southwest near the Vegas
Valley to California, probably join
ing the Nevada Southern at Marvel.
The grade thrown up in 1890 is
in good condition generally. Some
work is needed to finish up the tun-
nels etc. in the Clover Wash. With
this completed, gap of not more
than $50 miles remains for construc-
ton. which is said to be among the
easiest pieces of road to build.
With this work once begun, Lin
coin County will hear nothing of
hard times for awhile, and with the
road once completed country, rich
in mineral and agricultural resource
es will be thrown open to settlement
and exploration.

st. Paul, Minn.-The mortgage and

ing the last three years. principally in the
last year and a half. OF all the loans that
were in existence in Minnesota on farm
ing lan:ls three years ago the various con-
Germs differ slightly on the percentage that
has been paid. The lowest estimate places

showing, when it is taken into consdera-
ton that a vast amount Of money was
loaned in Minnesota during the boom
times. 1t means that that much has been
paid back over and above what has been
borrowed. There have been practically
no foreclosures.
That the State has felt the pinch of
hard times was one of the great factors
that kept the farmers from going further
into debt. When the bottom fell out of
the boom the farmer was the first man to
take to The woods. He Immediately cut
his expenses and practiced the closest
economy. The farmer incurred no new
debts.
Although diversified farming has gone a
great way toward relieving the Minnesota
farmer Of his debt, by far the greatest
factor has been the dairy interest. There
are hundreds of creameries and half as
many cheese factories in Minnesota, and
the majority of them have been estab-

Mr.. Brvan's 25-Cent Dollar.

Mr.. Bryan's speech. as reported in
Democratic paper, fills about half col
umn. 1t is calamity wall. "People who
were afraid of a SOC dollar six months
ago." he said, would be glad to get 25c
dollar now" The speaker might have
added that his Populist supporters would
be best pleased with nO-cent dollar, and
he voted for that himself when he gave
his ballot in 1892 to Weaver as a presi-
Dental candidate. Mr.. Bryan read
newspaper clipping arguing that the de-
probation of farm lands in England is due
to the gold standard and the plotting of
money changers. But he made no refer
ence to the comfortable financial condi-
ton of England generally and its treasury
surplus, nor to the fact that many British
farmers contend that free trade is the
source of their troubles. The Nebras-
kan's assertion that this country is des
perately sick seemed particularly grateful
to his audience. The remedy. in his lam
guage. is to turn over the affairs of the
nation to one man and let him think and
act for u.s." While the name of the man
was not mentioned, it is easy to guess who
he is in the opinion of the orator.
The statement that the American people
would now be glad to get 25c dollar
shows the glibness of Mr.. Bryan's tongue
and the light caliber of his mind. Having
started out to cut the dollar in two, he is
ready to bisect it again, and would doubt
less drop the remainder without the
slightest ceremony. 1t is this fantastic
readiness to jump into any wildly radical
experiment that makes Mr.. Bryan fav-
orite with every revolutionary element
in the country.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

The truth is, our Southern States are

the soil are in touch with markets. Man
ufacturers are advancing steadily Bust
ness in lumber is growing at rapid rate,
and the supply of timber is immense. The
great staples of agriculture, with cotton
at their head, have the world for their
market; and the lesser products, coming
much earher than those of the Northern
States, and distant but single day from
the Northern cities, get the best of the
market every year, and are mostly con-
sumed before the Northern crops come in.
At Southern industrial centers trade in

These quotations show that everything

the decline in corn (only 3 cents) is due
