t TUB MOKfllJlG .ASTOKIAN, SUNDAY OCTOBEH 15. 1JJ99. UURL1NGTON IS COMING WEST The Road Is Aiming lu Secure Terminal on the Pacllic Coast. TO THE YELLOWSTONE FIRST A Call lur HiJvf.ir iboConisiructinn or a Branch Line From Talouka lo Cody, Wyoming. IW-Intalllgenciri The Hurllngton within a few week will begin the ootitruujon of lu road westward wiih tha I'aclfie coast as in Ultimate destination. It li jut seven years Iff) 4hlN fall that th flrat rumor of tho Hurllngton westward extension mi published inrougnnut tn Waal. Every year since that tlnva oris or two good nnor If have gained currency, but not until ft few days ago wu anything ft von out officially. A wrrk ago last Saturday bids were callrd fur from th fnneral superta' tend'tit'e oltlca In Chicago for tha con trui tlnn of a branch Una from Taloo aa. Mont., to Cody, Wyo., and on to the eastern bordw of Yellowstone 1'lrk. i AH-orumf to in survey mad by a cor. of Turlington engineers thla pnat aummer . the branch will begin at Ta look on tha main Una near Kurt Cus ter and proovd up to and croealng Pry or crrrk. at lia head. Than It will fol low around Pryur mountain on the wee' aid, thenoe uihwest to tha val Icy of Hh nation river, thence up tha, north ldo of the Situation to a (Hitnt about a mil wxat of Corbett and Into "odv. Aftur leaving Cody the right-of-way winds around Cedar mountain n the aouth alda up tha aouth fork of the tihoshone rlvar croaelng at Jack son's lli'l will on to the Yellowstone. , TMi la aa far u tho construction la contemplated at thla tlmt. Tlioaa In an oiticial poaltlon alala, however, that tha pns.nl activity la but tha flrat at. p on tha part of tha road to securing a ter mlnal ou tha Pacific coaat. It la point. rd uiit that the new construction itwi not In any m-iib opon up a new coun try, but on tha othor hand paasos through a district already tapped by other lima and therefore tha construe tlon will mean nothing else than the fa-glnning of a coast vxtonslon, . The plan of aurvry, however, opens up a now rout and one heretofore never spoken of ua a prospective con tinental line. The prveetit Western termtnua or tha Burlington la Wlllnge. ilont., where coiinoriloti la made with the Nortlwrn I'aclflo on tranavontlnuut al business. Home two yeara ago a aurvry wassnad from lUIUog. taking the line to nutte, then paralleling tho Montana Central to Great Falls and weatward dividing tha territory with the Clival Northern and Northern Pa cific Thla took tha road through the Judith basin, one of tha richest die trlrl In nil Montana and yet undvvol oped by any road. The entrance to the baaln wo only by a narrow paaa through tho pelt mountnlna. Ucfore the Burlington could secure the paaa President Jitmes J. Hill, of the Orea.1 Northern, flll on II and at once a gang of men werw put to work grading and laying track about half a mile long. Thla enVttal ly caused the Ilurllngton to abandofj the northern route and much angula tion hia been Indulged In alnc aa to how It would gat to tha Weat. It la apparent to all who underatand the iltuatlon that the action of Presi dent Hill In the Judith gap haa foroad tha Uurllngton to build westward and abandon Montana to the Great North rn and Northern Paclflo on h north and aouth. It will alao have tha effect of taking Billing off tha main line which, with the completion of the Yellowstone Park extension, will turn aouthwrat at Talooka. The Intention! of tha road after the Yellowstone extension la completed are known only In general office circle but under offlclala are confident that before long tha Burlington will have a terminal on the ooaat, ' WHEN THBRH WILL PBJ NO DARK NESS. A Look Into the Lighting of the Next Century. From the Near Orleana Time-Democrat "Within the next fifty yeara, Raid a New Orleana architect, "the people of thla and every other larg Southern city will do moat of their eleeplng by day. The tranaformatlon will be ef feoted by cheap llghta. Inside of the next half cen'.ury lighting will be to In expensive, eo excellent and so abundant that It will wipe out the demarcation of day and night. Darknesa la one of the fore of nature against which civ ilization wagoa war. It facilitates crime, It Impedea travel, It puta arbi trary llmlla on human exertion. The time Is coming when darkness will be thoroughly conquered, and the great rltlos flooded from end to end with an effulgence that will make every voca tion of life as easy and aa practicable Rt one hour as another. In this lntltude nlfrM Is undoubtedly the beat time to wnrk-espcplally during our long sum- meM. The temperature from sunset to sunrise la cool and equable, there Is al most always a refreshing breese and na soon as darkness is abolished the people will gradually and naturally re verse tha hour of toll. I venture the predlntlon that noon In 1.'M) will ae tha at reft a of New Orleans dcaertad, except for a f'w mlddny rolalerer and polkmnen with iinNliadx, lteaectable folka will be abed and aaleep, ' enjoying that d- light ful repoaa which we now aaeoclata with an afternoon aleata, aorninhlng, by tha way, that ehould have long ago glvon uh a Up that day waa tha proper lime for reat, Then, when tha wonder ful Incaiideactite of tha future blai forth at dunk, everybody will arlaa In vigorated and alert, and gH i-dy to begin the nlght'a work. It la a beauti ful vlalon. Whenevi'T I conjure It up 1 could weep for vexstlon lo think that I waa born a omitury too aoon. MUHT NOT 131! I)WKriED. Dug In rhlllpiilnna There to Hlay Con ul Wlldman'a Opinion of Otis. M win Wlldman, former United States vlre-cmisul at Hong Kong, ar rlvad hue yesterday on tha ati-amahlp PI. Loula, aocotnpaitlad by his wife, says the New York Tribune. They left Hung Kong In July laat, and spent aometlme In India, Parte and London on thlr way home. Mr. Wlldman haa decided views re garding Philippine affairs, and la of the opinion that Omwal Otis la not the man to conquer Uio Filipinos, and that he should be rtploond by younger commander. "fho Phlllpplnea," ha said yeeterday. are well worth tha struggle. The country la magnificent, and the climate good, Thire are seven months of txoellent weather, and than eomea the rainy aeaaon. All una can do than la to do nothing. But then In every coun try thnra la a bad tint of the year, The aooner we get down to governing the Islands the better. They are worth much from a commercial point of view. Tlw whole country la rich and produc tive. General Oils la too old and not suf ficiently aggreaaive. He trtea to do the whole thing out there, and, like every other man who trlea to do It all. he dore nothing aucceaafully. "The great need out In tlw kalanda la a young and aggreealva man. It Is a country for young men and not for men of Otis' age. "Otis will never conquer the people, fur ha does not undvratand them. They are connan'.ly Impoalng upon him and fooling him." When tuld that It had been alleged that Admiral Dewry said that 01 la should stop his lying reports, Mr. Wlldman sold: "What the admiral said I do not know, but I know that he la a thorough American and aays what be means. lie apeaks. aa It were, right nut from th shoulder, and what he aays he means. I stand by whatever he has n Id." "When will the war emir "That I canot say. It depends on the pollry of the government. There are two waya of ending the war first, by oiiluk. aggreaaive movea Into the coun try by detached regiments, and second, by compromuilng with the Philippine leadera. The second, It Beams, will not be adopted, so the flrat ahould be push' rd. A general should be put out there who Is young, experienced and a fighter -aornc ont mIm knjus aomuthlng about righting IiidU-w. H)thef aenrul Law tun or Qeiiera.1 Mai-Arthur would do. )enoral Mllea wou,ld alao be a good man If he waa sent. , "Alt to w,hO'ls more capable of self- government, the Filipinos or tha Cu nana, I would say that I have. never been acquainted .with the Clibana, I am led to bellev. hewaver, that noni of .he native peop rf capable of self government In the hlgheat aenae of the word. The only way that the na Uvea could govern thetr.eolvea Is under American protJdtlon. "I believe that the flag In the Phll lpplnea should never be lowered. We have got to conquer or annihilate them. Tho question Is, which will our war dot We ave got to whip them. "I want to say now thsA at no time did Agulnaldo or any of the Filipinos get a promise of Independence. Ad miral IVwey made them no promises. We took Agulnaldo over to Manila to well, the same aa any other man waa brought over here to help. At no time waa anything said about giving them Independence. You will notloe that In his manifesto Agulnaldo la careful not lo' ay directly that there were any promises made. That talk always comes from some of his followers who have something to gain by, his success. "Agulnaldo la a man who haa risen from the ranks of the common people. He Is without education, but has a bojp. genius for leading." THE OCTOPUS AS FOOD. London Globe. The octopus now find a place on the fish stalls in Jersey, where It Is eaten either dried or fresh. The local esti mate of It Is that It makea very good eating, but the local taste also Inclines to other things which do not find favor with alien palate. Octopus fishing parties have been very popular in the Channel Islands of late, not, however, because the uncouth creature Is de sired for food, but on acourft of the destruction It works among the lob sters. SOME OF IT LOCATED. Kansas City Journal. The reported shortage In Iron moves a St. Louis papr to Inquire: "Where has all the Iron gone to?" To many places.
