COED.

We understand that steps are being
taken TO build Immediately two bridges
across the Pappilon creek, one directly
South Of the city plat and the other direct
ly West. This last will be OF immense
service 10 emigrants into the interior, and
across the plains, as it opens the way to
the only good and practicable route to he
Elkhorn river. BY crossing the PappiIon
West Of Bellevue, the emigrant has a
route all The way to the Elkhorn and Loup
Fork rivers without the obstruction Of a
single hill, and over as good a natural road
as can be found on the continent. Il is
not only the best, but it is, by several
miles, the nearest, route 10 the Eikhoru
crossings. Emigrants who pass through
Council Bluffs and Omaha City, find their
way impeded by numerous hills, some Of
them difficult Of ascent. 1t would be far
better for emigr-nts by way Of Council
Bluffs to come down on the Iowa side to
St. Mary, a distance of 10 miles, and
cross over in Gen. Sarpy's Steam Ferry
boat, 10 Bellevue, and then go up the
beautiful Pappiion valley, than TO cross
at Omaha City and take the long billy
route TO the E!khorn. The time spent in
travelling the distance from Council Bluffs
10 St. Mary, is more than saved in ex-
ledilious crossing and in a good road from
Bellevue to the Elkhorn, to say notl,hie
about the pleasantness Of the route.
