The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1903-10-31

1t is part of the programme of the
Western Pacific, which will connect
Salt Lake and San Francisco, to cross
the Great Salt Lake on trestle similar
to the one being constructed by the
Southern Pacific, but it is also part of
the programme to miss the quagmires
and quicksands which the Southern
Pacific engineers encountered. The
Western surveyors have been making
an examination of the bottom of the
lake between the two points on either
side and have found no bad spots and
only twenty.four feet of water in the
deepest part.
Survey Almost Complete.
The survey for the road is nearly fin
ished and large party, under B. F.
House, is camped at a spot near the old
Carried beach resort. The route has
been definitely fixed, except for the line
across the lake. Actual work of con-
struction has been commenced on the
western end, and there is large stretch
Of the road already graded. The line
from Frisco to Salt Lake is compare.
lively a straight one, and it is given out
by the officials in San Francisco that
trains will run as soon as or before
those on the San Pedro are i'll operation
all the way from. Los Angeles to Salt
Lake.
No Salt Lake Franchise.
No franchise granting an entrance to
Salt Lake has been obtained by the
Western people, and there may be more
truth than fiction in the story that the
Salt Lake g. Los Angeles Route will be
taken in by the Western. There would
be difficulty over station site unless
perhaps a union depot were arranged
for, or the use of the Rio Grande or
Short Line terminals obtained.
Crosses Stanbury Island.
The line crosses the south end OF
Stansbury island to the Tooele shore OF
the lake. From there it runs around
the northern end of the Grantsville
range, crossing Skull valley and then
the Cedar mountains, through low
pass that will necessitate about ten
miles of per cent grade to the Great
American desert. In Skull valley there
are known to exist large bodies OF vari-
GUS kinds of ores that recent assays
have proven conclusively would be OF
untold value were it possible to get them
to the smelters. Considerable quantl-
ties of lead ore were taken from the
lake side range in years gone by and
brouaht to Salt Lake or shipped to the
smelter at Corinne. These districts
have been barely scratched, and with
the building of the Western Pacific they
will be rapidly developed and become
great producers.
Cuts Out Fifty Miles,
leaving the west side of the Cedar
range. a route has been adopted whicn
runs almost due west to Ferguson
springs, saving fifty miles in distance
ON through line and striking the
northeast end Of Dutch mountain. tne

Honored Gods Word.

Editor Troublesome two years ago
/ described in the Herald an incident
associated with my attendance on ser
vices which we're held at a Baptist
church in the county Of Amelia, and
passing the same church building again
recently it so impressed itself upon me
that am going to give it to your read
ers once more. Tie name Of the MN
ister who occupied the pulpit on the
occasion fail to recall, but this | am
about TO relate | can never forget. The
man Of God had given out a familiar
hymn and had offered an earnest pray
er, but before reading from the Bible,
he said TO the ushers, who were engag-
ed in seating the people, II am about
to read from Gods word. and while do
ing so, want perfect quiet. No one
must be allowed to enter or leave the
building while God is talking to us
through his hollywood do not care
for Interruptions while | am speaking
to you, but can not suffer them while
God is speaking to US. The quiet was
Of course received, and came from
that service impressed with the
thought that Gods word had been
honored by that serYanto Of his as had
never before seen in all my life.

WONDERFUL WORK.

Farmville people are surprised at the
work being done by "The Little Con
queror.n Public expression on the sub
ject being the matter frequently before
the people. At first there may be
doubters aud why not? So many
claims Of a similar nature have been
made with little OF no backing, except

accepted for lack Of better. Not neces-
sary to accept il any longer. All suf-
ferers from any kidney i'll can find
plenty Of local endorsement for a rem

Mammoth Mass Meeting.

The courthouse was filed from ros-
from to doorway on Friday night by
interested citizens Of the Farmvile
Magisterial district They were there
to hear pro and con discussion Of the
dispensary question.
Mr.. George Richardson called the
meeting to order and his name was
proposed for chairman, but he declined
and DR.. Bidgood was nominated and
elected with Mr.. Joseph Garland as
secretary.
Judge Watkins, the patron Of the
measure, addressed the
meeting in behalf Of the law. He gave
the experiences Of other towns which
have adopted municipal dispensaries
and declared them all eminently sue
cessful from every point Of view. He
was given close attention from COM
mencement to the close Of his speech,
and when he took his seat, Mr.. J. 5.
McIlwaine was called for and respond
ed in fifty minutes argument Of
points against the establishment of
IN Farmville. Both speak
ers were literally applauded and from
the good spirit which prevailed at all
times during the discussions it would be
unfair to say that either sidelwas the los
er by reason Of the meeting. 1t look
ed to the ordinary observer as il the
house might have been quite evenly
divided.
Judge Watkins replied to Mr. Nell
waine, after which Major A. r. Venable
delivered amost impressive temperance
plea when one OF the most enthusiastic
witnessed in Farmville for
years adjourned.

The Normal School.

Editor Herald:-Many people in
Farmvllle have been expressing sur
prise that Ju &c Watkins should have
signed a report recommending the es-
Enlistment Of another Normal school
for the girls Of Virginia. ! agree that
the one already established should be
brought to a state Of completeness be-
fore beginning on another, but am
told that in order that the Farm vile
school shall grow and expand it must
have more room, and that additional
room cannot ,be had for Glove or
money" ! hope this isn't so, but am
told that it is SO, and If so one great
wrong is being done our town and by
those whose pleasure it should be to
promote It's highest good
Farmville as a community induced
the coming Of the school originally by
exhibiting a spirit Of generosity and
Iiberality, aud now that the wisdom
Of such giving has been demonstrated,
/ humbly hope that another spirit will
not operate to impede the progress Of
this splendid enterprise. The author
tiles Of the school, | am told, haYe
made munificent offers for contiguous
property, and that such offers have
been refused 1t Is the high privilege
Of all property owners in that imme-
date vicinity as everywhere to sell or
not sell, but no member Of this or any
other community has the right to use
this property or to iniure their neigh
bors, and it will be admitted that en-
phatlc injury will come to all Farm
vile if the Normal school is bindered
in its efforts by want Of workfield In
which to operate.
We ought to have one thousand girls
in the school instead Of 500, but that
this may be practical the entire square
on which the buildings now stand
must belong to the school. There Is
no power to condemn it and nothing
remains to do but to buy it or not have
1t. The owners alone can decide this,
and earnestly hope that it will be in
the interest of Virginia girls and this
entire section of Virginia.
Other matters Of less public moment
have been discussed in public meeting,
why not this one? y.

New Enterprise.

We are informed that company Of
gentlemen. have recently purchased a
portion of the Lithia Springs Hotel
Co. 3 property just across the river, the
purpose being to establish a hardwood
mandatory Of some sort. We under
stand that the enterprising owners Of
this property, consisting largely Of
wooded land along side the Norfolk
and Western track, put no obstacle in
the way Of the mandatory establish
ed by asking an exhorbitant or high
price for the required land, but gave all
encouragement possible to the project.
