Wants the Canyon

A gentleman thoroughly acquainted
with the geography of the section in
volved suggests that now is a good
time for Nevada or Utah TO revive a
project they once had of joining the
north side of the Grand canyon to
either one of those states. He says
that the canyon makes it impossible
for anyone living in northwestern Ari-
zona to do business at the capital of
the state without making long and
tedious journey, and that it would be
much more covenient and reasonable
for that part of the territory to belong
to the country north of it politically
than to that to the south. 1t will not
be easy to make the change after the
new state is admitted to the union,
but now simple amendment on the
statehood bill will fix the status of the
territory involved for all time. / do
not understand that the population of
the piece of country involved amounts
to any very large figure e. nor is it likely
that 1t ever will. but still for the few
who do live there the Strengthening out
of political lines along geographical
condition. should be made.-Harriman

A Wild Ride

]. d. Vargas ard Henry Gillin took
a tide Sunday which they claim beats
all known records. The fractious horse
they were driving became frightened

fastened ard acted as a lash in striking
the frightened animal at every step.

held to the lines and did his utmost to
steer the now crazed animal to the

doing. The beast only ceased his ef-
forts to demolsh the rig when through
sheer exhaustion he fell down. By

1t is generally conceded here that the
Western Pacific rail- cad has died a.
borning and that It's surveys and
rights Of way have passed to the
Southern Pacific, which will utilize
them to improve it's road by building
by Beckwith pass and down the
Feather river to Marysville. The grade
by the proposed line is much bet
ter than by the existing route. and the
new route will be used for passenger
traffic largely, which will mean THAI
be practically a j1uble track, or, per-
haps it would be better to say. dou-
hle road Several new rail oad com
panies have been organized by the
promoters of the Western Paeiflc-one
al extension of the line from Placer
vile, in Ell Dorado county. California
t, Lake Tahoe, and another from.
Narysville to Henry Lake, but the
companies have simply been organized

Independent of the great transconti-

pears that Attorney Bartnett. who has
been the ostensible head of the West
ern Pacific and the only tangible man
ager, organized a number of gentlemen
together to su vey a line over the
mountains into NeN aGa for the pur-
pose of selling the maps and notes to
some transcontinental company. He
went east last December to offer his
goods on the market there, and ii was
understood had interested Gould in his
proposition. Gould. however, when he
was out here denied that he had any
interest in the Western, and yet
some of those who were with him de-
Clared that his lines would reach this
coast inside of two years. The solu-
tion of the conundrum now given out
is that Gould did contemplate buying
through Rockefeller. who is interested
in his lines, and also in the Hartman
properties. an agreement has been
reached by which Gould has the use of
the Southe n Pacific lines TO reach this
coast from his present terminus at
Ogden, and that, therefore. he did not
want the Western Pacific. The plats
we then offered to the Southern Pa
cific and they submitted them TO their
expert Boggs, who accepted them. and
as result the new line to Marysville
over the mountains from Sparks is to
be built. Treadwell, of Alaska gold
mining fame, was behind Bartnett in
his scheme to lay out a line and sell ii
to a transcontinental company 1t Is
understood work on the new line viii
be begun this summer.
