SAINT DRIFTS IN COLUMBIA.

In early days of the Union Pacific,
n Of the most important problems to
confront the operating department
was. how to overcome the trouble Of
snowdrifts. 1t took a long time to get
the right kind of fences to keep the
snow from drifting on to the tracks,
and then there was the question of
placing the fences so as to be in the
right position for the wind currents.
At first the fences were often set on
the wrong side of the track, and in
such position as to aid in filling cuts
instead Of preventing it. When the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation company
built along the Columbia in Oregon,
they encountered a worse problem in
the sand, which drifted into cuts and
on to the open road at many points.
This sand ditched and delayed so many
trains that along the line most Of the
delays were attributed to it. The wind
courses and effects were studied, and
a remedy found in a very simple ar
rangement. Boards were cleated to
make fence sections two feet wide, and
these were staked along the road at
such an angle as to the clouds Of
sand to deposit in ridges along and
parallel with the track. From time To
time these low fences are raised up I'M
til there are miles and miles Of this

NEW STEEL
Several Gangs at Work on the Ne
braska Division.

The Union Pacific has several gangs
at work on the Nebraska division put
ting in new bridges, says the Cheyenne
Tribune. Two and a half miles west
of kimball the approaches are already
graded for the bridge over Lodge Pole.
The new bridge will be shortened from
235 feet, the length of the old structure,
to 100 feet, necessitating a large
amount of heavy filling work on the
approaches. Seventy-two cars of
stone were required for this work
alone.
Two miles west of Bushnes the
bridge work has just begun and the
new structure will be reduced to 100
feet, as in the case at Kimball.
Grading has just commenced for the
steel bridge at Pine Bluffs, over Lodge
Pole creek, and all the work will be
pushed rapidly, the weather being fav-
orable. All the bridge gangs have been
put to work widening the sidings for
new side tracks. This will be done at
Dix, Potter and Bronson, as well as at
Kimball and Bushnell.
At Sidney the Union Pacific has Sc
cured ground for the purchase of a
portion of the Fort Sidney military res
eryation and will put in extensive
stock yards to facilitate cattle ship
ments. They have abundant water
from Lodge Pole and a good open
range a short distance away, where cat
tie can be held for shipment, when
driven in.
The Burlington road has surveyed
for a crossing over the Union Pacific
on its Brush-Northport line, about one
mile east of Sidney, and will construct
a viaduct requiring a 35-foot fill on the
approaches. The new Burlington
depot at Sidney has been located by the
engineers of that road and will be
erected about one-half a mile south of
the Union Pacific depot.

EDWARD ecHOLs FOR GOVERNOR

nounce authoritatively that his friends,
whose name is legion in the State, will
present to the next Democratic Guberna-
torial Convention Hon. Edward Echols

ernor. They will offer his name in the
confidence that there is no man in Vir'
GINA who embodies q larger measure oil
devotion to Democratic principles, ripper
experience in public lite, or higher per-
sonal character and capacity than does
Mr.. Echols.-Stauntcn Spectator.
All the Spectator says about Mr.. Echola
may be true, but he is not endorsed by
the "boss." The "boss" has spoken,
and Swanson is the man. The recent
effort Of Governor Tyler to fight the "ms'
chine" and its "boss" shows how com
pletely the so.called Democratic party In
Virginia is controlled by the one'mar
power.

Five Times as Great as Gold.

"The worlds output of gold in 1893 was
$2S7 ,42S 800, and that in the United
States was $64 1853, 900. The value Of the
cotton crop in the United States, that is,
the raw cotton, in 1897, was 1913, 49l Alp.
The cotton crop in the United States Is
therefore Il per cent. greater than the
gold output of the world, and five times
as great as the gold output of the United
States.
"To this great value, however, we must
add he value of the seed products, and
we have total of something like three
hundred and sixty millions of dollars.
But the grand total is not yet reached, for
we are working II, 57O,O 900 spindles in the
United States in making cotton clOtAs.
The output of these, minus the cost of the
raw cotton consumed, must be added be.

vides for the payment of a poll tax as
prerequisite to voting. Such a law was

Called, was very unpopular; and some OF
the Democrats ale little frightened at
the prospect of having another such law

WONDERS OF WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
Philadelphia Press

Philadelphia Press.l
The limitlees possibilities of ether as
transmitting medium for electricity are
only just becoming known. Wireless
telegraphy has contributed to our know
ledge of this mysterious element, and now
comes Nikols Tesla with statement
which, allowing for the exuberance Of Mr..
Teela's imagination, is strikingly coincident
with other recent development. He says,
speaking Of the wonder of electrical vibra-
ton:
Wireless telegraphy is only an incident.
/ shall not only be able to send messages
to Paris, but to any other city without
wires. am confident that the movements
and operations of bodies of machinery car
ried by the same can be controlled from a
great distance without any tangible con-
nection whatever, and with absolute pre-
cision.
The same telegraph wire which carried
this stat ement to the newspapers OF the
country two days ago carried practical
demonstration of the partial truth Of his
assertion in the announcement that Lieu
tenant Commander j. G. Colwell, United
States Naval Attache, had, on Monday,
witnessed in England the test of an inven-
ton offered to this Government for steer
ing torpedoes and submarine craft without
the aid OF wires or other devices.
The inventor claims for this wonderful
destructive agent, and demonstrated 1t by
experiment, that it can be directed and
controlled by means of an ether wave from
q shore-motor with no connection save the
current working upon the rudder. Com
mander Cowell said II believe the ex.
periments have fully proved the practical
bility of the theory, but a decisive opinion
cannot be rsked until the invention has
actually been applied to full sized craft.
and submitted to aqueous atmospheric
conditions. If the principle holds good,
then it may be said that the day of the
present torpedo has passed and that the
present methods of harbor defense are
revoutonized.
The possibilities of electricity have, since
its discovery, been generally regarded as
boundIess, but with the advent Of wireless
telegraphy a still wider field is presented,
as outlined in Tesla's words and demon.

trical torpedo at Yoevil. No range Of the
imagination is, apparently, too compre.
hensive to embrace all that is is possible

THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1900.
A SPLENDID SENTIMENT.

On the very same day that Mr.. Bryan
said "the time had come when no farmer
or laboIer could afford to be Republ'
cam" Representative Sibley, of Pennsylva'
MIA. a free silver Democrat, in speech in
the House OF Representatives, said II
had rather see my country prosper than to
see my party succeed" This sentiment
was uttered in brief speech on the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill, wherein Mr.
Sibley warmly defended the action of Sec
rotary Gage IN averting the recently
threatened money panic in New York
The praise of Secretary Gaze by MIR. Sibley
was looked upon by the Democratic and
Populistic leaders as rank treason, and was
met with scowling faces, bitter protests ami
denunciations. MIR. Sibley did not stop
when he had spoken of the splendid pros
perlty under Republican rule and after de-
claring that Il had rather see the cOun-
try prosper than to see my party succeed "
but he went still farther, and remarked
that he "would like to stand by his party
if it had definite policy, but it did not
seem to have any," He was "sorry to see
it attempt to thrive on depression"
No wonder the Democratic leaders In
Congress remarked that Sibley was speak
ing from the wrong side Of the house, and
that he ought to take his seat among the
Republicans. No man is considered by
them true Democrat or Bryanite who
will not undertake to bring calamity where
calamity does not exist. The only way in
which man can show his fealty to Demo
cracy, according to their measure, is to
deny that anything good can come from
Republican rule, to assert that everything
done by Republican Administration is
corrupt, and that the country is not pros
pering. In other words, party fealty de-
mands that man should tell lie anC
stick to it to help the party.
Whatever may have been the motives o.
Mr.. Sibley he told the truth, and i'll BIZ
brief speech gave utterance to noble sen
timent 81 had rather see my country
prosper, than to see my party succeed.
What pity that Mr.. Bryan, and those
who are helping him to draw dark pictures
as to the present and future condition o
the country, cln not rise high enough above
a coarse partisan level to speak as Sible,
has spoken. But they will not do it. The!
only hope to thrive Oh depression, and vii
continue their campaign Of misrepresenta
ton and delusion.
