! ness man TO see the amount a flour and
grain now coming into our city from up
| river towns every day. One Of the ware
| house men at Menasha, who WAS in the
! city Oh Tuesday, told Us that from his house
alone the amount of flour shipped to our
| city for buffalo, woud average five hun.
dred darreis per day. The great trouble
now is to find room To store it all, and yes
| sells to carry it away. Our forwarding
merchants have leased the Aston warehouse
and Mr. Tanks warehou on the opposite
side of the river.
The elevator at Depere is in constant
this reminds Us again of the need, nay,
the absolute necessity Of at least one grain
elevator at this place. Ii is matter OF
establishment to us that this need has not
received attention before. Now the reship
ment of grain at this port, is established as
| a permanent business, old methods must of
necessity be dropped and the modern I'M
provements adopted, If We would retain
! the commerce which has SO tlOurlshlngly
commenced. The following facts are evil
dent: That Green Bay is the natural out
! let for the overplus of the products of the
| north west-that it commands the route to
the east afi,orl:ng the greatest inducements
to shippers; that the trade Is fast lncreas-
| ing, almost doubling every season; and
| that another Fall, if our arrangements are
not made on a more extensive scale than
at present, we must lose a vast amount of
| business that would otherwise come to us.

who will step forward and reap the har-
vest ?-Green Bay Adpocate, 27M uH
Having been at MenasAa within a few
weeks past, we are prepared to say that
there is no exageration in the above state
ruent, and we are cratilicd that our Green
Bay neighbors are deriving such great ben,
efits from having thoroughfare into the
interior through which the millions OF
bushels of surplus wheat raised this year in
the vallies of the Fox and Wolf Rivers can
find access to an Eastern market These
figures fully demonstrate the Importance
Of Railroad from this place to Menasha,
as it would furnish the quickest and cheap
est route to market for the large surplus
products of the interior, and for return
freiehts of merchandise. We have facli
ties SO far as freighting by vessels is con-
cered, equal to those Of Milwaukee or
Chicago, and at cheaper rates as soon as
vessels can find full cargoes here, which
will be as soon as our Railroad is complet-
ed to Menasha, as it must command the
majority of the freight'ng business between
the Lakes and the valIies Of the Fox and
Wolf Rivers.
Had this Road been completed two years
ago, when it could and should have been
done, Manitowoc would now number its
two thousand populalion-its harbor been
con pleted-its River been lined on either
side with docks and MISUNDERSTANDING
featuring establishments of various kinds
been constru cted and now doing an extern
sive business, and all the branches of trade
and commerce usually carried on in West
ern cities been in most flourishing con-
dition.
1t is said that we should now be the wit
ness of this desirable state of things that
only exists in the imagination, but for a
few men who had obtained and wished
to retain position, or had accumulated
money in a small way and were averse to
completion,- men who preferred to be
irgetryin one horse village to being little
fry in large city, or in other words would
rather be the head of jackass than the
tail of lion.
We hope the days Of such men will soon
be numbered, in the rejoicings Of our PEG
pie over the great benefits resulting from
the completion of our Railroad.
We can see no good reason WHY this
Road should no. be completed to Menasha
within the next season, and we would ask
those who have the management of this
important enterprise what measures are
being taken TO secure its completion
We hope we may not be considered i'm
pertinent in asking this question, to which
we venture to say that every citizen of our
town and County is interested in obtain
ing speedy and satisfactory answer.
