two things would effect mere Substantial
bensst, to the counties, THAI they ever
viii derive from the expenditure az the
entire fund in the aAnnss such funds are
usually sxpsnded /; and then the beueEts
Of hsying the read, are so numerous, and
large, that their aggregates would be as
tOnishing, .
The Legislature Of MiasoRri has or
win grant $500, 900, additional aid 10
the Platte Country Railroad, making the
amount donated to thas road, above S..
Joseph $7oo, 0O0sr over 81, 100 per mile.
This win secure the completion Of the
Railroad 70 within forty-ssven miles
Of this city, within the next three years,
by which tame the Council Rlaffs and
St. Joseph Railroad, will be completed
and will connect with the Platte Coun.
try Railroad at the State line, giving
our citizens 9 railroad sonneoaioR with
al the eastern and southern cities.
About the same time the Mississippi
and Missouri Railroad, viii be complet-
ed to this city, and we Of Council Bluffs,
will have two roads making their termi-
nus at our city. These roads we are
sure 10 have, while Harrison and Mono
rs counties have mes a project for road
upon which they can hang hope, unless
they unite ct once upon the Council Bluffs
and Sioux City Railroad. II bshooves
the peopls of thCse sounties to be up and
doing what they can 70 aid in the coz
stEuesion Of this road. Don't divide
your means and influence between too
many roads. Don't get too many irons
in the krs. Build one road al a time,
or be sure that yoa have oas safe, before
you commence another.
II the citizens Of the counties above
u.s. will unite their means and influence
in aid Of the construction Of the Coun-
ell BLUFFS And Sioux City RsilEoad, they
can have ~ eastern communication By
Railroad as soon ~ the citizens Of Csun~
ell Bluffs. The road from this city can,
and sOiA (if the people bat will it) be
bailt to Sioux City, as soon as the road
from st. Joseph, or the IL. M. road
can be built 70 this city, and the com
plstion Of all thTes Of tina roads might
be celebrated On the same day.
Shall this grand spectacle be witness
ssd7 Will the people Of Harrison, Mo-
mona and Woodbury. counties take bold
Of this mater, or will they divide their
Means and influence, and accomplish
nothing
We believe Harrison county is new the
stumbling block over which the {. b.
3 8. G. road is destined to fall. II she
will not eome TO the aid Of the company
ths chain will be broken, and the pro-
jees might ~ well be given up at 0noe.
Harrison county, is most deeply inter
ssEed in this road, If she will not aid
in its construction, she will dad her
self ten years from this date without a
road, and those men who projected her
numerous roads, viii have TO be con tent
With the projects saEaas the roads.
