FIRST RAILS LAID
On the That Will Connect NogaIes
 Wlsh City Of Mexico.

N"f~F MY VI fF"~f~~'
 Friday of last week the first rails were laid on the main line Of the Cananea, Yaqui River X Pacific railroad extensionin Mexico. Build ing out from Batamotal the first stationin the Yaquiriv country to be connected by rail with the outside world, will be Torin, the military headquarters of the First zone Mexican regular army. Torln IS about twenty-five miles from Bata- motal.
 From Torin to Cocorit is about twenty-eight miles, the fifty-three mile contract let last week being for the construction of the road from BatamotaI to Cocorit.
 At Cocorit the line will branch out, going north and southeast. The northerly branch will be ex- tended to Tonichi, on the river above Toledo, and afterward to tn e line at Naco or Douglas.
 The southern extension is the line to which the greatest interest at taches, as it will be the line to con, meet with the City of Mexico and bring into touch with the outer world alI the fertile valleys and rich mineral wealth of Central Mexico. The road will be built southeasterly toward Alamos.
 Saturday of last week Chief Engineer E. A. Mcfarland, K. &. Cranz, right of way agent, and MT. Ross Allison, division engineer for the Cananea, Yaqui ~ Pacific rail- way, left Guaymas on the steamer Benito JQarezs .en E0ute 10 Mag atlan, to begin surveys on the line from Mazatlan northward, toward Alamos They were accompanied by-a well equipped party of en- gineers. It is the intention to be- gin construction at that end as quickly as possible, and work to meet the line now starting to build toward Alamos from Guaymas.
 At the same time the road is be- ing built north from Mazatlan to Alamos, construction work wild be going on to the southeast from that point, to connect with the Mexican Central at GuadaIajara, in the state of Jalisco, from where the Mexican Central runs to the City of Mexico.
 During the absence of Manager J. 4. Naugle, of the Sonora railway in connection with ths work of procuring concessions for railway extension southward, which has heen almost continuous since March Gall but eight days) the operation of the road has been excellently conducted by Mir. G. |. Gonzalez, chief clerk in the man. ager's office. Since the death of Judge Robinson Mir. Gonzalez has conducted also the legal affairs of the corporation; and in that line has shown himself equally pro- ficient.
 La Sale < Jennings, who have the contract for grading the material yard of the Cananea, Yaqui X Pacific railway, near Batamotal, have already a large force at work, and are daily in- creasing it.

before in that body, championed
the cause of the capitol commission.
His speech was a brilliant effort
and was loudly applauded. He was
followed by Burdett Thayer of Fill
more county, who, it is acknowl-
edged, is one of the new strong men
OF the house. Mr. Thayer had the
causes and effects of the three bills
right at his fingers ends and he
lambasted the majority on commit
tee substitute bill in very effec-
tive manner. George Armstrong,
one of the old war horses, who is
always anxious to get on the side
opposite the orators, and who is a
pretty effective orator himself, led
the tight for the substitute bill and
was backed up by Messrs. Johnson,
Perley. Roberts and others. Thru
out the two days fighting the lines
were closely drawn and the votes
were correspondingly interesting,
there not being over five or six ma
jorlty at any time in favor of the
two minority bills.
The substitute bill was finally re-
ported for indefinite postponement
and later tabled by the house. Then
senate file No was given prece-
dence over the Mork bill, and after
two or three amendments had been
tackled onto the same, providing
that the board OF control shall pur-
chase certain supplies, ETC., the
bill was recommended for passage
and will probably be passed some
time this week.

report is made the code will be

SMITH AT IT AGAIN.
His Annual Boom of the TranScontin en-
tai Railroad Comes to Surface.

VIM. I. Smith, who signs himself
as president of the oft mentioned
paper transcontinental railroad
company of DesMoines, Iowa, and
who has been coming to the surface
with letter to one or more towns
about this time every year for a
number of years past, has made a
raid on Hector, and causes the Mir
ror to branch forth with a scare
head article to the effect that Hec-
tor can have a railroad to the gulf.
In the letter Smith remarks that
"the company has recently secured
additional capitalists in the manage
ment of its enterprise, and will
soon arrange to build the first d.
vision of it's line in southern Mime
sofa and have in contemplation
line by Oliviaor by your town. Will
you be good enough to advise me
what inducement we can obtain in
township bonds, stock subscrip-
tions, right of way, etc., on your
route, in your township, the town
ships north and south of same;
what is your population; have you
any mills; if so what is their out
put; and any other information you
may think of interest. If you do
not see proper. to answer this letter
be good enough to hand it to some
other intelligent gentleman who
will take enough interest in your
town to do so.
The Mirror goes on to state that
accompanying the letter was a
card on which the promoters gave
an outline of his project. The
Continental railway company pro-
proposes to build railroad from
the town of Warroad, on the south

principal object being to give an

FIRST INTERESTING FIGHT.
Capitol Commission VIII Have Charge Of
the Building Two Years More.

The first battle of any interest
that has taken place during the
present session of the legislature
occurred in the house on Thursday
and Friday of last week, over the
proposition as to who should have
charge of the new state capitol dur
ing the next two years. The fight
over this matter had resulted 10 two
bills being introduced in the
house and one in the senate. The
latter bill is known as the Horton
measure, and Senator Horton Sc
cured it's passage by the senate in
week or ten days after the legisla-
ture convened. This measure gave
the care and custody the build
ing, together with the appointment
of all the employees, ETC., to the
state capitol commission and con-
tinues that body for an indefinite
period! An appropriation of $751;
600 year was made for the pur-
pose of carrying out the intentions
of the act.
When this bill got over into the
house, the feeling against it was
intense. The contention being
made that it was taking away from
the governor his executive power,
and also that it was continuing the
commission for too indefinite per-
iod. The result was that portion
of the house committee on public
buildings struck out portion OF
the bill but still left the commission
in charge OF the building and made
the necessary appropriation there
for. Another bill was introduced
by Mr.. Mork of Faribault county,
which provided that the present
commission continue its work o.
completion, but that after Jan. Isl
next the machinery for the care O
| the new building be placed in
charge of the capitol board, con
sisting of the first five elective
officers of the state. A majority O.
the members of the public building
committee got together and through
Mr.. Putnam of Goodhue submitted
a substitute bill, wiping the board
of capitol commissioners out of ex-
istence after Aug. 1st next, ano
placing the entire appointive power
from superintendent down to scrub
woman in the hands of the govern
or. The three bills were then ap
pointed out as majority and minor
lty bills, and we're all given their
