now 10 the time to cot and 10 this connec-
ton, W commend to our readers the fol-
lowing from the Peoples Press, Nebrasks
City. This article il Is applicable to Council
Bluffs, as to the region for which it was
originally intended: 'Thsrs Is every rea-
son to believe that during the coming year
there will be great increase in the business
OF our country, particularly IN the way OF
transportation and emigration to the mines.
10 view Of this, would it not be well for
our people to do something to secure to our
city fair share of this business
At meeting held 10 this city near year
ago, for the purpose Of taking action of
this kind, it was decided that our natural
advantages were such, and our town 80 well
and favorably known throughout the coun-
try, that it was useless for Us to do anything
ourselves, except perhaps to tear down .
little Of the bill At the landins-thst the
business would come to rs any way-that
no one had any interest in the matter, or
would DO benefited, except the merchants,
and il there was anything done it must be
by them slone. The result was, there was
nothing done; and although there was per-
baps no falling of in the business Of our
city, from that Of former years, We feel
certain that had our citizens exertsd them
selves properly, the business Of our city in
this line during past year would have been
more than doubled. -
1t 10 a mistake to suppose that the msr-
chants alone are interested in this matter.
Goods that are not sold here, can DO taken
elsewhere at q small loss. 1t is the owners
of town lots and town houses who have the
most at stake. Such property must stand
or fall with the place. But every citizen is
interested in the prosperity Of the city; and
We hope to see, during the present, such
united action taken by our people as will
bring to US, the coming spring, oil Of this
business that our natural advantages entitls
US TO receive"
