The passage Of the bin granting charter
for this road gives great deal Of satisfac-
ton to the people along the line to the south
west OF " in Missouri. An excellent spirit
exists, and ~ little blind selfshness as ID
often observable. Ii the same spirit con-
tinues, the road will be comparatively easy
and speedy in construction. II would be,
perhaps, attributed to sel6shness in us to
suggest that all the available mems that car
be raised, sno uld be employed on this end OF
the route, to push il out into the interior a,
fast ~ possible, and make every dollar avail.
able Is fast as it is invested, inasmuch as We
are particularly interested in this end. Blu,
that 10 the true way TO do. The road will BE-
built the earlier for it, and ali the means in.
vested will be making money for the compa-
ny and be Fastening on the road, instead OF
lying idle. And besides, We are mainly in.
terested in the road as complete, through
line. The people on the line, 90 far a. ",
have observed, take the true view of tn,
matter, and are not SO selfish a. to overlook
their own interests. Kansas City, in partic
ular, has subscribed largely to the road, We
explicitly urges the wisdom of this policy
With ready means to construct the road fo
sdlstance, the operating road furnishes it,
own basis for extending the line. The bacl
OF railroad difficulty is broken and the en-
terprise on lite feet and successful, on prom
ising line, when the FIRST forty miles is i,
running condition. The unanimity of inter
est and opinion manifest en- every han,
promises the most gratifying success to tn
enterprise.
