Mr. Coomb ' report In Cull Is : "nROOIClNN , N. Y. , Oct 11 , 1895.-To the Government Directors oC the Union 1'01- cilic Railroad : Gentlemen-In the course of [ Iny recent trIp ns n government ! ; director eC the UnIon Paclnc railroad I went carefully : over the various lines oC road composing , / that system , and examined their Ihyslcnt , condition , as well as tlia condition of the shOlls allli erlullunent. In ] order , alto ' , to ! ; et a more comprehensive view of Its field , In rev . latlon to other and competing ! rouls I went , over the Central Pacillc and puts of the ' Southern and Northern Pacific , as well IIn t' portions of the Denver & Rio Grande and I . Rio Oranele & Western railroads , "I and that under the management / : of tilt , p receivers the roadbed and bridges ! are being kept In first class coniUlion. Gangs of workmen - . men arc employed not only upon the main I line . but also upon the feeders , In replacing ties leveling , up the track and repairing / Irlelges. ) Th repair shops are In good con l dltlon , well organized , and so far as I can Judge , economically eonllucled The rolling I Mock Is Icollt In good repair and In rcldl- 31ess Cur an improved \ lJuslllel' . The expen- tllt'lre of liberal amounts hy lhs receivers In keeping the physical condition of the road \1P to a good ! standard Is doubtless wise and t ln the best interests of the creditors ! of the road "Tho general condition of the country tributary utary to the road Is steadily ( IlIIprovlng. The temporary check to business caused hy the decline ( In sliver producing / Interests has turned the attention of the people to the I development of new industries thus laying ' , the foundation for a more permanent pros- , J1erlty. It cannot be doubted that where one Industry overshadows all others thera is . . . . greater danger of periodical depression flan ' In communities where all the resources of the country are inure evenly developed "The country between the Rocky moun- talus and the Sierras has not been and of necessity could not have been , developed on , the same lines nor os quickly as the states j cast of that barrier for the reason that there wera no large stretches of virgin ! soil , t well watered and easily brought under cul- tivation. The vast plains forming the Interior - - tenor basin , wore with a few exceptions ) barren and required time , labor , enterprise } , and capital to bring them Into 0 state of ' - J1roductlveness. As 0 result the development t. compared wIth that of other sections of the country has been very slow , and without , the help furnished lJy rullroads that country could not have been developed ot all "Under the act of July I. 1R62. amended i : July 2. 1864 , the government issued Its bonds to aid In the construction of the Union 1':1- clfio railroad from the Missouri river to a point five miles west of Ogden , and to the Central and Western Paclnc , which were afterwards consolidated from the western terminus of the Union Poclllc through Sacramento - ramento , Cal. , to San Jose near the bay of San Francisco The mileage embraced In the above direct lines was nearly 1.905 , Aid was also extended to the Kansas Pacific Central branch of the UnIon Pacific , and Sioux City & Paclnc. It Is not my purpose to devote any portion of this repast : 10 theo minor lines , but to couflne myself to the main line from Omaha to San Josp. m-m CONTINUOUS ROAD INTENDED "When congress ; decided to extend Its aid In the construction of a transcontinental sys- ' tem It could not have supposed that the ' roads composing It would derive enough rev- 'l enue from the local traffic In the new territories - If rltorles along ! Its lines to pay running expenses - IJemes In addition to the Interest on the government bonds. Its supposed nblllty to sustain Itself and 10 meet Its obligations to m1 \ the government was based : upon the h'pothe- I ale that the various roads to which such aid might bo extended would form a continuous hue , working ! In harmon . from the MissourI river to the Pacific ocean Every act of con- gross relating ! : to the Pacific roads substantiated - ated this stntement. The traffic between Cal- Ifernla and the cast was relied upon for reve- nuo during ! the period In which the new territories - tories Wl'l'e behmg ! developed. As a principal creditor It has a right / : 10 demand that this plan : , embodied In the act extellllln ! aid and In subsequent nets , shall be adhered to. "I have no hesltotlon In stating ! . as a result - sult of my investigations that 11 violation of this understanding la the main cause of the present ! deplorable condition of both roads I aril that almost from the beginning there has been a lack of co.operatlon between them. As for limo last ten years the CNI- trnl Pacific has been leased to and under full control of the Southern , the Union Pacific has been absolutely at Its mercy In the matter oC through passenger ! and freight ! ' ; tramc. "It Is currently reported , In California that fi compulsion Is brought to bear upon shippers . . who wish to ship by the Central route to the east to compel them to shIp by the Southern route . and that , In every respect , It Is treated 118 n tender to the Interests of the Southern Pacific system. 'fhls has created In that state IIn antagonism to the sottlpment of the debt to the government ; . for It ha ! claimed that It would leave their communications with the cast In the hands of the Southern system I am convinced that no settlement , upon a 1 basis which the roads can afford to pay , will -e - ever receive the sanction of the rel1resenta- Il Uvcs of California , nor of the states from the i Missouri river to the Sierras unless It em- braces In Its terms a guarantee that the original , Intention of the government shall be carried out , vlz. , that the aided lines shall form one continuous system , working In harmony - ninny , from the Missouri river to the PaclOe ocean I think that they are right In taking this stand , for , although I run not one of these who join In the cneral ! denunciation of the Southern Pacific road which has done much for California , I believe that the stale la cntlilecl to have Inellemlent ! competing hues connecting It with the east "Although the government ! has never seen fit to Ilemanil a compllJnce with the original Intention as expressed above , It has never surrendered it . "When the management of the Union Pa- cilia found that It was at the mercy of Its ! competitor \ In the mlltler of through traffic , and dammed UI In time middle of the con- tinent It attempted to remedy the IlIlI1cult . hy bnlllllng roads : or lJy entering Into alliance with roads already built , to the north and i south which shoulll act as feeders to the main line east of Opden. ; This under the circumstances , was probably justifiable hut If the conllltions hall not existed there would not hanl been so plausible reasons for the diversions of the earnings of the \ road nor occasion for the scandals that resulted from their eonstructlon WHAT REORGANIZATION MEANS. : 1 "Whllo this policy has resulted In benefit to the various Interior states and territories , soil , has aided In theIr 11evelollment , It hall ontullccl IIn expense out of all proportion \ to the Income derived from It , and has weighed down the system with a load to which It has finally succnmhed. ] n limo effort to increase Om business of the road , and doubtless , In many cases for reasons not so easily jllstl- fled , tllt.ro has been too much development of the system In the stales of Kansss and J Nebraska There we ' " find II comjlllcJted : net- . . . work of roads . 1II0llY of then paralleling one - another , and all III eoml1etltlon with the great lines east of the Missouri , which have also built extensions Into that territor ) ' .

"AllY bill presented , for the action of the next congress shoulll w simple and direct In Its provisions , so that the members may hI' ubiI' to divide upon the basis of II simple and plain business proposition. If you will allow me to suggest some of Its main pro- . visions I will name the followIng : I ! First , that no settlement be made that does ! not Include In Its terms a setUl'mC1lt with both roads ! . , "Second , that It should demand the unitIng of the Union , Central allll West'rn Pacific main line Into one corporation , as Is provided - vided for In the act granting ald. If thIs cannot be brought about by amicable arrangement - rangement between the two roads then the governnll'nt should enforce It by every remedy In Its possession , even to the extent of fore- closing Its lien "Third that In consideration of such reductions - ductlons from the actual Indebtedness as government may consent to make the new corporation be prevented frail ! consolidating with any other tramsconllnenlal line. "Pourth. that when the secretary of the treasury shall have proof that the above provisions ) - visions have been complied with , and when a certain ' stipulated sum or money has been paid Into the treasury , he shall execute to the roads an acquittal from all other obligations. "The demand that the owners of the Cen- lJ'al Pacific shall unite with the Union Is rea- ronablo and should be Insisted upon , for there was never nnr reason for Its construction under government aid except us a part of a transcontinental s'stem. Certainly the development - velopment of the natural resources of Nevada were no Inducement to the government to ex- tend Its aid APPEARS TO DI QUlTY. "If objection Is made to the foregoing suggestions - gestions on the ground that they seem favorable - vorable to the roads a sufficient answer will bo that , while the government may be called upon to sscrl./ice / a part of Its claim private Investors In Its securities are not exempt from the same misfortune That It Is better for [ the go\'ernment to receive absolutely a fair portion oC Its debt than to give all extension - tension for the whole amount the result of which would lJe problematical. That since the contracting of this debt the problem of transcontinental railroad traffic has been ? changed by the building of competlllg lines notably the Canadian Pacific railroad That It Is 111 the Interests of pUblic morality to remo\'o from the world a railroad scandal that Is demoralizing to the credit oC our railroad system . That It will remove an incubus - cubus from the prosperity of the states affected - recteel by the present unCol'tunate conditions , Very respectfully : ' . " \\'IL1.I\\1 : J.

Ills experience will lJe very similar to those stirring Incidents which are supposed to exist only between yellow-backed novels , when 0 friend jumps In just In the nick of time to save the hero from being summarily hurled Into. eternity or some- where else. This friend who appears on the scene to cave Smith Is a man named Dave W. Reid , who lives In Glenwood la. He has sworn to an affidavit In which he states that he knew Smith In OIenwoo ! . where he wits looked upon as 11emented. He was made the butt of all practical joiners and largely the fact that he did not appear Inclined to resent - sent this caused his neighbors to look upon him as an Intone man :111' : Reid especially speaks of occasions when decoctions of va- rious kInds were given to Smith and that he . being told that they were whisky , and believing them to lJe such seemed to relish them very much Instead of gelling ! angry as any rlhtmlnded ! man might On one occasion alma , some neighbors gave him some earth , telling him that It was good , and be ale It with much ! ; usto. The idea , however , that Smith m3) be In- sane Is not remarkable In itself hut the mar.ner In which 1\11' Reid came to light Is something out of the ordinary run of thlrgs. Held says that lie came to the city 11 few days ago / : and In the course of hIs wanderings - Ing : about the city ho dropped Into the court house and went Into the criminal court room , where a trial was goIng on He listened with some attention , but with no moro Ulan ordinary Interest , to the proceedings until Smith was called to the stan ! . As soon us Smith appeared Reid says that he at once recognized him DS his former friend of Glenwood where he was known under the name oC "Simple Jim. " Held did not like to speak out In the court room , as hI' was a stranger , hut as soon as the trial was over he approached Smlth's attorney and told hUll what he knew of Smith. _ _ Smith has not acted as a crazy man while he hos been In confinement It Is not con- slelert'l1 , either that he acted very much IIko a crazy man when he commltteel the deed for I which he wae convicted. In fact It Is thought ! by the officers of the law that he knew per- ! fecUy well whet lee was ab ut. Nevertheless - : less his attorney has flied a motion for a ' new trial , making the alleged Insanity of Smith the principal I'rounds. Smith was chargl'd with assaulting amid robbing a Mrs. Roebuck of a liamdsalchel lie met the woman late one night In the latter part of September near Eighteenth and I California strl'Cts. He grabbed the satchel , ' but 1111's. Roebuck hellIon to It until she was thrown to the ground Then Smith got possession of It and ran awa ) " . He was arrested - rested a few hours arter.
