KENOSHA RAILROAD.

hENOSIlA hA1LhOAD.
The contractors for the construction of
this road, are preparing to proceed vigor-
ouslyto the execution of their work. They
are company ofenterprising and energet-
ic men, and possessed of suchmeans as will
ensure them an dnembarrassed prosecution
oftheir operations. They are large subscri-
bers to the stock ofthe road.
In the course of fortnight, or three
weeks at farthest. the grading of the road
will be in progress, with full force of men
and horses. The character of the country
through which the line is located, presents
nowhere any impeachment to rapid construc-
ton, and we have every confidence that in
one year from the 1st of January next, the
work will be completed, as stipulated in the
contract. Light grades and straight lines
will mark it, when finished, as one of the f.
nest roads in the West.
Our neighbors of Kenosha, have shown
themselves tobe inearnest in this enterprise
and they will, before long, be gathering rich
rewards from It's consummation.-Wh When
the Southern Wisconsin Road shall be com
pleted. line will be open from Dubuque to
the Lake, that cannot fail to draw an inn
mense share of freight and travel, and pass
ing, as it will, through the middle of our
Southern their of counties,i Its way business
will undoubtedly be very heavy.-To the
enterprising spirit, the perseverance and
intelligence of the men of substance in our
sister city all praise is due for the success
full manner in which they have thus far
conducted the affairs of this project, and
we hope and believe that their sanguine an
tlclpatlons in relation to it, will be fully
realized in the results. MessrS SMITH,
WoRTHLEY d Co., the contractors, will com
mence the work under the most cheering
auspices, and all accounts concur in repre-
senting them as just the men to do it prompt
ly and do it well.-DemOcr0tic Standard.
We have received the %Rcport of the
engineer of the Kenosha and Beloit Rail
road Co, upon the surveys and estimated
cost of their Railroad" The report reflects
much credit upon the Engineer and we
think it is as clear and concise, as any one
of the kind we have ever seen. Accompa-
nying the Report, is photographic map OF
the different routes surveyed.-JaaeSUiHe

KENosHA RAILRoAD--We have been fur
nished with a report of Prof. Twining, chief
engineer on this road, with map of the
surveys. The contract for building has
been taken by Messrs. Worthley, Smith d
Co, able contractors, and the work is ex-
pccted to commence in two or three weeks
with every prospect of completion at the
contract time-a year from the first of Jan
ualy next,
Our friends at Kenosha are highly and
Justly elated at the success which has re-
warded their efforts in the organization oil
the company, and in providing the means
for the construction of the road. Their
city already feels the beneficial effect OF
their contemplated enterprise, and when
finished they will be placed in an enviable
position as shipping port and business
mart. We heartily rejoice in their prosper
ity.- Gazette,
KENosHA d BELoIT RAILRoAD-The Ke-
nosha Democrat, after noticing the heavy
business of the Milwaukee d Mississippi
Railroad, since its completion to GAINESVILLE
takes occasion to urge the certainty of a
like success in in the Kenosha d Beloit
Railroad, when it shall be completed to the
same point. The argument is unanswera-
BILE. In addition, the Telegraph thinks the
latter road has an advantage over the 9TH
er, in the fact that the Southern Wisconsin
Road, from Beloit to the Mississippi, and
from Beloit to Kenosha, is built on the broad
guage, thus securing the through travel
and trade. We are unable to see how this
will give Kenosha an advantage over Mil
waukee, as we shall also have through
road to the Mississippi; although the guage
may differ, both roads will doubtless pay a
heavy per centage when completed.-INl.
