Wealth is a power that as much as he world 'mij affect f to despise, is coveted utt oaly Iut the gratification its possessioa gives, but for the influ-nc- e it lends in increasing the responsibilities of life and giving a factitious importance to ths favorites of fortune. The death of Mr. James II. LiCuS, the millionaire of St. Louis, ij announced by telegraph this morning. The principal achievements of his life may be summed up iu the words of the despatch, he died worth about $8,000,000 or $10,000,-t0Aside from this fact, the world would be in ignorance of the existence of the man whose word was almost considered as law in the com- inanity in which he lived, aid which he governed by the silent pressure of the millions of, which he was pos- 0. 6'JSS'id. The family name of Lucas has, ncwever, sows historical importance in the annals of the great State which now ranks as the fifth in the Union,, , Tho .dder Lucas was ap poiutcd ly. President Jefferson, as Pomjnissjoner of lauds for the District of St Louis, noon after the ces sion of the Territory of Louisiana in 1815, byi Napoleon';? Through .the opportunities presented by the posi- sition h8 held, ho was enabled to en ter largo tracts of land The city of St,, Louis,, now an opulent, stately metropolis eontaing near . four hundred thousand souls, teeming with a buj:Wy. was then & French village of a few hundreds. At the time that Missouri'4 was ' admitted into' the Union, in 1830 as a State, Mr. Lucas was .a. member &f the Convention which framed, the Constitution. ,IIe Attached himseV to the Whig party party fandv became 1 an intensely zealous, partisan, i Hon. j Thomas II. Benson, for thirty "years United States Senator, held an almost automatic Jjow ia that State. ? The s contest in the early days of pVlical Missouri, were marked by an acrimony which often led to disruption ,of family ties and interrupted the harmony of a society that had not yet worn off its primitive crude-nesthese memoraDuring oue ble contests Col. ..Benton and Mr. f Lucas were arrayed against each other, tjie Jbtmer Having charged his oppomiib with beiug a serf, until the charitable hand - of Jefferson doled ut iu tha plenitude of his mercy a s. tf pittance iu the?form of a Jand office. This allusicn to Mr! Lucas whose vanityt nd ,pride were inordinate so incensed him, that he rstaliated by alluding to certain youthful indiscretions of which. 01d Bullion" 1 Editor Jckctiox: progressing. ConeideriBg the support the enterprise in receiving from the business men of Ogden, it is a fact that reflects great credit on those that have the management of its affairs. I am credibly informed that but very few of our business mea r merchants have taken any stock in the road or assisted it in any manner. The cause of this mut be that the matter has not been thoroughly mentioned and laid before the people. V It is safe to busiety that there is not man doing would whose trade ness in Ogden not be increased ten' per cent, by the completion of the road, opening of a direct and short communication with our city. It will gire us the center of a large portion of the northern trade, that is now turned another way, and open ud fresh sources of trade IliHt cannot now exist on account of the difficulty arising in means of transit. It is a fact generally known that there is annually imported into this eity and Salt Lake thousands of dollars' worth of shingles, lath, lumber, etc. When this road is completed there will be no reason for doing so, as there is an abundance of splendid timber for (he manufacture of that class of merchandize along its line of road which can be- - manufactured and delitered here when the road is completed, at figures that will command the market. The quality of the timber can not be excelled for general purposes anywhere, thus thousands of dollars which may go to support manufactures at other points, and pay freights te bring the goods, here, will be left at home, and our merchants will receive the benefit in the large amount of goods tbtit will be needed to supply logging camps, mill outfits, railroad men, etc. Again, it is almost impossible for a farmer living thirty or eighty miles away from our city to visit us oftener than two or three times a year. It takes too much of his valuable time in the present manner of traveling; but when he can get cm tke cars in the morning and come to town, get anything he may need, and return home again the same day, it will then no" "longer "be profitable for for him to put up with a "makeshift" for anything that may be wanted in his business. Thus, the farmer will receive benefit in being able to repair or replace any broken machines in a few hours, and our business men will receive equal good by the increase of trade and patronage, and many articles of use and are not used on accomfort that count of the difficulty of attaining them, will be purchased and made use of; again apart from the increase of trade it will give us, the completion of the road to this point will add one mere link to the chain that binds Ogden, as the junction city of the west, a fact that ought te interest every man that owns any of real estate within its corporate limits; with a direct rail communication from the northern extremities of our Territory - te its southern points, all running through a county already settled and inhabited by an industrious and people, the point at which such a road crosses the great continental line, is bound to be one of importance. With these considerations before us and viewing the matter purely as a financial speculation, it is to the interest of every man in our city, that this road be pushed through and completed to a junction with its present terminus, as soon as possible, and, especially is it to the interest of the merchants of our citv. Let . t not be said that an enterprise of such importance to as, was allowed te drag to-d- te-d- Again, this is not only a matter of commercial interest but as a financial investment it certainly promises to be as ' great ' a success, as anything that a man can invest bis means in judging, from the past efforts of-- , all our home lines, and taking into consideration the nature of the country through which the road runs, its future success I place beyond a doubt. For those who may wish to lay a few dollars aside for future use and benefit, I can see no safer investment in fact, there is no point in which you can look at the undertaking but what it appears in a most favorable aspect. To the merchant it offers in creased trade ; to the owner of real estate, it will increase the value of his property; for the meohanic, by building up the city it will furnish him increased employment; for the farmer, it will open up a market for his produce, which to day he cannot reach, and for those stop ping here for pleasure or crossing tbe it will offer, an continent, a easy and pleasant trip to scenes and points 1 interest; while to the miner it will offer new and unexplored regions, which I have no doubt will soon furnish its portion of mineral wealth to add to the resources of our Territory. In conclusion let me suggest that it would be well for those interested in the road, te call a mass meeting and invite the attendance of the people, aud by laying (he present condition of the road before them, call for such aid as may be needed te help to complete it before the bad weather sets in, as it is evident that more can be accomplished in one week with such weather as we now have.tban could te ia double the time two months from hov. Believing ihat the importance of the matter will justify my intruding upon your valuable space, and hoping that abler pens will now take up the matter, I subscribe myself, Yonrs truly, , was said to have been guilty. These about a personalties ; brought rupture, which ended in the tragic death of young Lucas a brilliant and promising man. On "Bloody Island" between 4 the Jlllncls and Missouri 6hpres, is the Tspot where he fell a victim to the relentless code which af that timo was .recognized aa the final resort for thrjso whose offended honor demanded redress: Since that event a feud as bitter as an hereditary vendetta has existed between the Benton and Lucas families,' and formed a prominent feature in the political history of Missouri. Mr. James ILXucas inherited the vast Jcrtunua Uft by Ms, 5fatheVf and brother, and the village in which he vr; born .he has B:en grow from a little hamlet on thfi Mississippi to the rank of the fourth city in the Sarbow Gcage.
