Western Pacific Gets Franchise.

The arguments uf the attorneys for
and against granting tho Western
Pacific railroad the right u. way through
Silver st rect WIS not concluded until
after D o'clock last evening aud the
board took the matter under conside ra-
ton until l0o'clock this morning. At
10 o'clock the board met aud unani M
ously granted the right OF way through
the street. The board then took a
recess until O'clock this evening to give
District Attorney Caine time to prepare
the terms and conditions OF the fran
chisc.
That the board acted wisely in this
matter and in harmony with the views
OF over 90 per cent Of the property
owDers OF the toS cannot he success
fully denied. While a railroad through
Silver street may damage the property
OF few, the benefits gained by the
town are beyond calculation.
The almost unanimous sentiment Of
the people in favor OF granting this
franchise to the Western Pacific is sure
to have good influence on the railroad
company and be powerful argument
in favor Of EllSo as division point.
With tnat may also come q terminal rate
that will reIease Eastern Nevada from
the grasp OF the Southern Pacific. \
consunmation devoutly TO be wished.
The granting OF this franchise is Il
long step in advance for Eiko. 1t means
more population, moro wealth, more
work and more prosperity for all OF
