at this hour so near the time fixed for.
our departure, that I come forward to
make a speech. As you r very well
aware when I get to talking to q
crowd, I scarcely know when to quit.
I am sure that if I did attempt to tell
you what have seen in your territory
and what an impression it has made
upon my mind, our train would not
get started in time to drive the golden
spike. I will be brief, and will say
that although I have been in almost

this great country and its fertile soil,

happy, prosperous future, and that
within a few years you will rank away
ahead Of any of the eastern states and
will be a state with two representa-

gress is opposed to more republican
members). Well, I am glad to see.
You all here; I am glad that / have
participated in the ceremonies, and II
am sorry you called me out. (Pro-.

is pulled by two powerful engines.
Each section has q special operator
and g. g Green, the company's super
intendent Of telegraphy, took charge
Of this department OF section No. 4.
These men are carried for service in
case of accidents or when the regular
operators at stations cannot meet the
demands Of the party. The finest ain
