We .h. distance i. only ls5 miles. THIS
W. w" ". d, know, that a sen'leman-a Mr.
W r'< merchant at Salt Lake c'ty-eame
sa,h from Kearney to this city, on the
' ' line, in thirty sir hours, all told
from point to poius-'raveIlns two days
md living over one night. That is what we
cnll pretty quick travelling.
The gentleman referred to, is member
osa heavy Chicago dry-goods house, and
us,cbapt at Salt Lake City, and is now on
hi, way East to purchase goods. In com
;Op through, it was his intention to have
taken the mail Stage from kearney to 81
1,.enb. but, after waiting at the former place
.svsra! days for the arrival of the 81. joe
.,ow coaches. he became impatient and took
,bs Western Stage Company's line to thus
nlace, making the trip 10 the time above
',,,sd On his arrival here, he declared
,ha North Platte route to be the shortest
ANA hest route to Fort kearney, and an
,,,occd his determination to start his trains
f-om tbi. city in the Spring. lie has trav'
s,.d all the Southern routes, several times,
lint this was his first trip on the Platte
Valley. lie was urspnring in his encomlums
vDon the superiority Of the North Platte
aver all other routes, and remarked that no
narson could be made aware OF the marked
difference in favor of this route, until he had
Travelled the others. Mr.. VANArrA left this
,;,v for St. Joseph, the next day after his
arrivs, here, declaring that he believed he
would arrive at that point before the party
he lef, at Kcarn"y, would be able to DO so,
BY the St. Joseph route. These facts are a
sufficient commentary on the relative advan,
,arcs Of the two routes. The inference !:
valuable, and we leave it with our readers

many 'hInSs-pockcts, for instance,
