Depot Loeations.-Fo the satisfaction of those
who have so industriously circulated reports thro
the county, that the Commissioners had decided
upon, or had at least publicly said that Depot
would be located at Mottvile, in this county, and
that no depot would be located at Constantine, we
copy the following extract of letter from one of
the members of the board, who was written TO on
the subject by gentleman of this places
Detroit, Dec. 81, 1887.
Dear Sir: have this moment seen your com.
munication to tho President of the Board of In
tornal improvements. How it is possible that
your people have obtained tho impression that n
Depot is to be established at this meeting,
or even within year, am at loss to know.
No such intention has been expressed by the
Board, nor ito my knowledge, by any member
but on the contrary, it would be ridiculous as well
as unfair for us to undertake to determine the To-
cation of Depot before tho road is put under
contract, with the intention of binding our sue.
| cessors, when resolution at subsequent time,
would annul any which we might pass. My o.
pinion is that village oftho importance ofyours
or Of Mottville, cannot be passed.
Respectfully, Yours &c.

The Monroe Times, of December 2lst, contains
tho following highly cheering news for those In.
terested in tho construction ofthe Southern Rail.
road
eve are happy to have il in our power to state
that the clearing and grubbing of 30 miles OF the
Michigan Southern Railroad was let yesterday
by contract, pursuant to previous public notice,
and at prices very favorable to the State. The
sale was then adjourned until o'clock p. M. to-
day, when tn, cxcavating and embanking will
be offered for SALE Proposals for the timber re-
CURED for the suporstructure will BIO received, as
we understand, and acted OH Immediately.
..Judging from the number of contractors pre-
sent and the e1gerness to prosecute the work,
there is every reason to believe that this inl-
portant improvement will be speedily got under
way"
We hope commencement viii be made upon
the western end of the Road carly in the spring,
if not this winter. The grubbing, through the
Galeln woods, the western end of the route, could
DO done to better advantage in the winter than il
the summer.
The mere matter of spending the money thai
will be required for the construction of the differ
cnt works of Internal Improvement contemplated
among the people, win be of great service to tin
entire population of Michigan; it will create new
life in every kind of business, it will regulate on
exchanges with the eastern States by drawing
drafts on tho loan, and will place Michigan OF
footing with any of the now states in the Union
Look at New York-she has made herself wha
she is, by her bold system of Internal Improve
ments, which were ut time considered yer,
doubtful apartments; their protector, De Wit
Clinton was compelled to fight his way through
in opposition to large portion of the people O
the State, who denounced it visionary pro
ject.
Again, we say, let the friends Of the Interna
Improvement system BIO up and doing, lest sec
tional jealousy shall level to the ground, that nc
bic project, which, when carried out, will plac
Michigan in an cnvable station among her siste
states.

that act, the most noble OF all acts Of the Mich
gan Legislature. which authorized tho construc-
ton Of three railroads across the Peninsula.
We hope that ths Importance of the improve
ment Of the 81. Joseph river viii be pressed upon
the minds of the members Of the Legislature.
We arc anxiously looking for the Report Of the
Engineer, who was employed by the board of
Commissioners Of Internal Improvement, for
tho survey of the river. We are satisfied that
tho St. Joseph can be made navigable for Steam
boats, one hundred and twenty or thirty miles
with but very littlo expense, compared TO the
benefits which would be derived from such navi-
CATION. by the inhabitants of the country through
which il passes. The river survey has been OK
tended as far up as Union City, in Branch coun-
ty; from thence canal has been surveyed, at
the expense of the State, through Tekonsha, to
Homer, in Calhoun county. Surveys arc now
being made, at privrte expense, to ascertain the
practicability Of connecting the head waters OF
tho ST. Joseph, with the head waters of Grand
River, at Jacksonburg; also, Of connecting the
head waters of tho st. Joseph with the head wa
tiers of the Huron also, Of connecting tho head
waters of the River Rasin, with the head waters
of the st. Joseph.
We copy the following article from the Mich
igan (Ann Arbor; Argus, on that subject:
"CANAL.--The following communication has
been sent us with a'requcst that we would call
the attention Of citizens of this county to the
| subject. We give the communication, and ardent.
ly hope that those possessing the desired inform
alton will promptly forward it. We consider the
object contemplated to be of Importance to oul
citizens. 80
Concord, Dec. IA, 1897.
To the Editor of the Michigan Argus.
Sir-We wish to call your attention to the
survey and level now making of the valley
of the st. Joseph River. under the direction
ofthe board of Internal Improvement. The
engineer has continued the survey and leve
of the country from the north bend Of thu
St. Joseph to this place, and will continue
the same on to the waters of the Huron, TO
the purpose Of connecting the waters ofth'
St. Joseph, Kalamazoo, Grand River ent
the Huron by canal. The route SO ia
appears very practicable, and we apprehen'
no difficulty in getting on to the waters o
Grand River. Can you advise us OF an.
route which will lead into the Huron. b.
reference to the map it appears there Nigh
be two routes which would connect with tn
Huron. One by the Portage of Grand Riv
er and the north branch of Mill Creek, ant
one by the east branch ofGrand River an'
the South branch of Mill Creek. Which O
the two is preferable ? Will you call the at
tention of the people of your county to tn
subject, have them examine the routes ant
render such assistance to the Engineer a
will enable him to select the best route.
