Fifty years ago, the later part of October 1864, the first link in a trans continentaI railroad was completed from Sacronle11to, CaNfprnta. into the foot hills of the Sierra Neweda, noun tans. T. H. Judah, a civil engineer, after threading the mountains for months and pleading in vain with capitalists to back h1n met by chance at Sa,cre1Aento one day., four small merclhants-Colfns P. Huntington. Le- land Sanford, MarE Hopkins and Charles Crocl1er. Out of that incident al meeting grew the organization of the Central Pacific Railway. Judah died before his project was wen under way, but the other four men, with a capital then of only a few thousands dollars and a few inconspicious asso- ctates, succeeded in buildfng Do the foothills of the mountains in the fall of '64. By 1867 the Sderras were surrou- ded largely by the labor of the Chin csc coolies brought by the ship1oad
 from China and in 1889 the road was joined to the Union Pacific at Prom ontory Point, Utah. The first trans continental railroad was then accom- p1fshed and Stamford, Huntington Hop I1inls and Crocker built adjoining man sions in the most ar1stocratic part of San Francisco, shortly to become mill Monaires many times over.

THEN. and. NOW

Today there are ndre railroad lines in North America known as trans continemta1 The latest is the Grand Trunk Pacific of Canada, known as 'FThe F'artheat North Line which is nearly completed Without counting the eastern connections, the lines now operating through to the Pacific Coast have an aggregate mainline mackage of over 3o, 900 miles, over which some two hundred through passengers are consistently in motion. The FiaIthest North Li1le'' extends from Halifax on the Atlantic to Prince Rupert only a few miles below the southern point of AEaslua Much of the line is above the Band degree, and tr+aYeTses land locked i'm snow and ice through long winters. The road has been in over ten years i'm building. Three years were devoted to search for a. low sum init, the engineers finally falling Yellow Head Pass. with an altitude of 5,6S1 feet which judges accepted as practicable in the Sierra Nevadas
 The original transcontinenta1 line and many other western roads, have been practically rebuilt on the mouth
 tain divisions in recent years to con- form with the present policy of rail- road building = avoiding high grades, and sharp curves, even at the expense of long tunnels, and enormous cuts.

WANT PRESIDENT
 TO END CONGRESS-

Washington, Oct 24-Representatdv tive Robert l.. Henry of Texas announced at a. conference of South ern Congress men tI1ds afternoon that he will not permit Congress to adjourn
 His plan is to have it recess for three days at a. tizne until the elec- ton is over and then force quorum to return and act on pending meas ures that may help cotton growers hit by the European war.
 MT Henry can prevent an adjourn meTt by simply maazdng every day the point of no quorum, as he did yester- day.
 Several Senators who have been in sympathy with the efforts of Senator Smith of Georgia. and Fepresentafdve Henry to enact legislation to relieve the cotton farmers are now tired of the hFibuster of the Texas man
 One more effort will be made today to bring Congress to an end, and if 1t is mot successful President Wilson may be asked to use his power and adjourn Congress- Senator Thomas of Colorado said in the Senate yes terday that he is in favor of asking the 1 President to act now.
 l The President is sad to be com sfdering the proposal of establishing the precedent of ad5ourning Congress pefern ptdffly by the exercise of his consti tutionEa1 right.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Miss Jessie Cope,
the accuser of Colonel Charles Alex
ander, the Providence, r. L, million
aire, under the white slave act, was
arrested here today Miss Cope is
charged with attempting to bribe gov
ernment officials in Chicago to aid her
to blackmail Alexander out of fifty
thousand dollars. Alexander is sixty
five years old and is married. He was
arrested in Providence yesterday.
According to Michael Igoe, assistant
to District Attorney Charles Clyne,
Miss Cope proposed, and formulated
her proposal in a written agreement
that if the government officials would
assist her in eXtorting $4,000
from Alexander she would give them
half to be split among them. The
other half she said she would keep.

Carranza Said to
Plan Wreck of an
English RaiIway
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 5. - Sir Cecil
Spring Rice, the British ambassador,
informed the state department today
of a dispatch from British charge
Holller in Mexico City saying reports
We're current that General Carranza
was planning to destroy the British
owned railroad between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City by blowing up certain
tunnels.
The ambassador also informed the
state department that Carranza had
seized at Vera Cruz, British cotton
consigned to interior mills as well as
other shipments of British goods. He
is understood to have made no speci-
fic request Of the United States and
his action was in line with the estab-
lished policy of communicating to the
department all reports from Mexico
City.
Grave concern was expressed, how
ever, over the reported threat of Car
rama to put the railway, the only line
operated between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz, out Of commission. If this
were done by destroying tunnels, a
long time would be required to restore
traffic. Meanwhile British subjects and
other foreigners in interior Mexico
would not have that means Of escape
from Mexico City.
Sir Cecil let it be known that The
British government has not taken a
position of unfriendiness toward the
possible candidacy Of Villa for the
Mexican presidency. IT is understood
that England will not undertake 10
pass lpon the right Of any Individual
to aspire to- leadership in Mexico.
That, however does not mean that an
indemnity for the death Of the British
Benton, would not be demand
ed from Villa should he become presi-
dent or from any one who ever may
ultimately 0e settled in that office.

The sound of heavy cannonading in

The inmates of a large mad house

of the guns that they became frantic
and tried to break out of the asylum.

to convey all of them to Mulhausen.
A newspaper dispatch states that the
Germans are mounting guns before the

the object of forcing the French to
lombard the town in the hope that the
will be thus turned against
the French.
