The Proposed Railway.

The idea of a railway connecting the
Oregon Short Line and the Southern
Pacific is nothing new, it having been
talked of and its Importance recogniz-
ed since 1875. By consulting the Sill
yer State files of that year, it is
found that the issue of January 20
contained the following communiea-
ton:
Winnemucca, Jan. %, 1875.
Editor Silver State-A petition was
in circulation yesterday to get signers
asking our legislature to encourage
by act of legislation the building of
the Winnemucca and Oregon railroad
What does the word encourage
mean if not for the asking of sub
sidy? We all know that if it simply
means the right of way that it would
need no petition to get such legisla-
tion, as it would be granted readily.
Another object in the road taking
above described course is to rain the
carrying of the immense amount of
freight that is going to Idaho (and
every year doubling) over at least six
ty-five miles of that route. In addition
to that there will be the immense
market from Queen s river and Para
disc valleys,and merchandise from San.
Francisco back to those valleys-all
the freight and passenger traffic from
those places and elsewhere north, com
ing and going through Winnemucca
(for the gauge of that road viii be the
same as the Central Pacifc) without
delay to their destination east and
west.
The road win undoubtedly be built,
and am not writing this in opposi-
tion to the building of it.
The same arguments in favor of the
construction Of the line apply today in
an increased degree. Saying nothing
of the 600 miles Of travel that may be
saved to passengers going to San
Francisco by the northern route, there

is an immense amount of freight traf-
fic that would be brought here by the
line. Then, again, the road would have
tendency to settle the country, which
would increase the population many
times. With the Great Northern at
Bend, Oregon, headed for the south, it
is not safe to assume that it will come
to Winnemueca, or that this town will
be made the southern terminus in case
the line is constructed hy the Harri-
man interests.
1t would seem imperative that the
business men of Winnemuucca at once
interest themselves in the project and
take immediate steps. to have the road
built from this point.

secure the tonnage referred to.

dollars. After man has saved for years, adding
small amount each weekly or monthly pay day. watch

hundred possibly thousand dollars, it is no wonder ne
hesitates about selecting business and putting IN the
savings of years Every man knows that greater num-

EuTURE LONGEVITY.

Dr.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the
government chemistry bureau, says
that every citizen should have an ex-
pectation of ninety-three years of
healthy, happy life. by preventing
contagious and preventable diseases,
particularly among infants under one
year of age" he said in an address
favoring state and national control of
public health, eve can raise the aver
age expectation of life from the pres
ent thirty-three years given us by the
mortality tables to fifty-three Per-
sonal hygiene and care will give us
the balance.
THAT it can be done is shown by
the Panama canal. The French failed
not because of lack of engineers,
ability, workmen or machinery, but
because of disease. We made the
zone sanitary before work was started
and now Panama is health resort.
The death rate Is almost nothing
''It has been the same way in the
army. japan taught the world les
son. In previous conflicts many more
men died of disease than from bullets.
Most diseaseseare avoidable. In the
near future all of them will be. |

will be able to fight cancer as intelli-
gently as We now fight fever. In the
meantime we will stop the infant NOR
tality, which is almost invariably due
to some form of malnutrition when
the babe is deprived of natural food.''
