report of gov stanford president of the company by the time of our next annual meeting ne eting should we not be disappointed in iii olita obtaining ining labor we shall have the cars running to crystal lake twenty miles mils above dutch flat and within fifteen miles of the summit complete surveys have been made for this distance and the work found of a more favorable character than had been anticipated there are three corps of engineers engaged in making surveys beyond this last mentioned point on one ot of which will commence this week to survey from donnar lake nake east cast eastwardly the principal object in making that survey at this time is that the work may be reldy raldy ready for construction as early as possible I 1 deem it important to commence the work of grading from donnor lake eastwardly and laying the track without waiting until the road can be constructed from this side to that point by pursuing the course indicated we may expect to have the entire road completed from this side to salt lake in three years from this season the grading can proceed on the other side of the mountains without retarding the work on this and by the time the season will permit the transportation of of iron over the mountains at low freights next year the railroad will have reached a distance on this side from whence iron can be transported by teams to where the track will commence on the other side for from ten to fifteen dollars per ton r THE BELLES OF Ciri clil CHICAGO CAGo the great event of saturday in chicago was the counting odthe of the votes eastin the

nevertheless remains the same which is not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers to consider the government de facto as the legitimate government for us to cultivate friendly relations with it and to preserve these relations by a franie frank firm and manly policy meeting in all instances the just claims irom orom of f every power submitting to injuries from none but in regard to these con circumstances are eminently and conspicuously different it is impossible that the allied powers should extend their political system to any portion of either continent without endangering dan gering our peace and happiness nor call can any one believe that our bouthern southern southern brethren if left to themselves would adopt it of their own accord it is equally impossible therefore that we should behold such interposition i in n any y form with indifference Extract t fo f brofn o M ar mr mon Von toels seventh annual message MOTHE MOTHERS RS AND DAUGHTERS it
