The Capital News has been a
friend of the promters of the road
and later of those who are building
1t. When others scoffed this paper
insisted the line would be built, and
that opinion is now being verified.
From early Investigations it was
made clear to the railroad editor Of
this paper that the real interests be-
hind this line are the strongest in the
country. They are none other than
the Canadian Pacific and the great
Gould system. The Canadian Pacific
is in need of a line to San Francisco
, and the Gould interests need a con-
nection with Butte, Minneapolis and
st. Paul. This line from Butte to
Winnemucca will furnish It. besides
opening up a profitable section Of
country remarkably rich in resources.
The line will be absolutely indepent
of any Hartman influence and mark
the delivery from railroad bondage

Senator Borah did not talk as long

he would not finish until 8 or $3.50,

had never served nor never would on
such a momentous occasion again.
This case would go down into histo-
