CHEAP POWER.

The matter OF bringing electric power
from h Iruckee river to this city is
now assured, as two companies have
made propositions to the Comstock COM
panies TO build a plant and bring the
electric power to this place. A meeting
OF a committee appointed by the mining
companies will take place Monday at
San Francisco and Manager Mem. Ross
and G. E. butcher have been eum-
monded to attend the meeting and they
will leave this evening. The transmits
sion OF power from the Trnckee can
that all the old dumps and low-grade
ore in the mines will be worked and
that the Comstock will have a new lease
of life.
H. N. Zadig was seen by a represena-
tive Of the Enterprise yesterday and he
said the matter OF cheap electric power
for the Comstock was an assured fact.
Two companies have made propositions
and one or the other will be accepted.
One offer is by Leon Hall, representing
California capital and the other by the
Floriston Paper Company which has
plenty OF eastern capital behind it. They
offer to furnish 800 horse power for So

On the second night Peabody will endeavor to lower his record against time, and it Is generally conceded that he will do better than 1:5O for the mile.
 There will be no dull moments during the evening, and everything will be pulled off with a snap that will initiate the big na- tional circuit meets with which MT. Pick ems is so thoroughly familiar.
 Speaking of Peabody's success at the worlds meet in Montreal the New York Herald said last month "At the worlds championship meet in Montreal last week, Earl Peabody, the Chicago university graduate, swept the field, and made his competitors from all parts of the globe appear as pigmies beside the giant of speed and endurance. His success was not more than the American cyclists ex- pected from their idol, and it only needed the trophies to stamp him officially the king of the cycling world"

safety, security and comfort to the public, gratifying amount of heavy steel rails has been substituted for light rals and it is not unreasonable with the enterprise ex- hibited with the railway companies in structural service, to predict that, in the near future, all of our trunk or interstate lines, in answer to the imperative demands of an increasing commerce and travel, will be laid with the heaviest steel rails. It is unmstakably manifest that the old iron rail is relegated to the posterty of by zones, as, in an aggregate exceeding 1900 miles of railway in this state, there are only 149.60 miles of iron rail in use.'"
 Are the railroads law-ablding? In the last annual report of the Alabama railroad commission, also is the following, to which attention is directed:
 eff recommendation for additional legislation could only proceed upon the assumption that under the existing law for the regulation of railroads and persons owning and operating railroads in Ala bama, railway companies have failed or refused to comply with our orders, it could not be justified by the facts, which, on the contrary. sustain the converse of this proposition, to-wit: that the railway companies have ohcyed every order made by us within the limits of our jurisdiction. Declining, therefore, to recommend addi- tional legislation on the hypothesis that without it we cannot enforce our orders, we, from consideration of the public good, feel it our duty to recommend, etc.
 'This is not the first time that the Geo. gia railroad commission law has been call ed to the attention of the people of Ala bama. The matter has been thoroughly discussed from one end of the state to the other. Bills have been introduced in the legislature of Alabama at several different sessions, for the purpose of adopting the Georgia railroad commission law without any changes whatever, except the substitu- tion of the word Alabama wherever the word Georgia occurred. However, when the matter has been thoroughly discussed by our lawmakers, by our representatives and senators who have the good of the country at heart, and when the results of the operations of the two laws have been thoroughly understood and compared, our legislatures have invariably done that which has characterized their action in all things-acted wisely9 and refused to give their endorsement to any such vicious and unjust legislation.
 Under existing laws, the railroads of Alabama are doing much right now toward building up the state And, beyond any question, the people throughout the state are getting in better financial condition every day. If our commercial friends would give more time and attention to fur nishing markets for the products of tha farms of this state, so that our farmers could get better prices for their crops, Alabama would soon become, in very truth, the garden spot of the world To be prosperous, we must not have dissensions We must not try to build ourselves up at the e;pense Of each other. We must all pull together for the common good If this is done. the results cannot be otherwise than satisfactory to all"
