1t is fortunate for the new railroad
that it does not have to are a
whoop what Ely wants or don't want,
asks or don't ask. Otherwise it
would face stipulations that would
make the voluminouS interstate laws
look like a chewing gum package,
if the evening asylum for the feeble
minded is to be believed even in
small part. The color of uniforms,
the style of neckties, whether shoes
shall be yellow calf or patent leather,
whether tobacco in plug or other
wise shall or shall not be permitted,
the color of underclothes and the
momentous matter of socks or no
socks; and where people of the road
shall eat, sleep and drink, and when
and how, are the next weighty prob
lens to be tackled by the feeble
minded. For the latter mental exer
else is prescribed as good, when
harmless, and it m entirely with
in that regulation in this case.

All who core here find a revela-
tion in the great Steptoe valley. Its
great length and breadth and the
wonderful hope it extends for the
making of a splendid agricultural
region, astonish all upon their first
view. Deep we'll boring and the de-
velopment of the vast underground
streams which must flow beneath
the surface of this valley, perhaps
at a depth of a thousand feet OF
more, will in some future time make
it one of the great producing Sec
lions of the world.

Iron in the west is being sought
with great avidity. Great areas
carrying the ore have been tied up
in the present year, and still the re-
search and the surveyors go hand
in hand without abatement. Iron is
a great and valuable commodity,
and a sure good one for the pros
pector to keep steadily in mind for
some time to come.
