.Ihe complction oc The Chicago and North
west+rn Railway was celebrated last week, that
road being now in perfect running order from
road is Chicago ente7prise-proj jccted hy hsr
ciriz*Ds, and mainly carried to a e1ccs5stu!
completion by their energy and means. As !
contributor to the business and commerce OF
Chicago, It ranks among the first In lmpor-
tance Of all the northwestern roads. Bu: 1t
is rot vet what it is capable Of being made;
and Of this fact the directors Of that thor
pushfare seem to be aware. The Northwest
err Railway, Gs it nov exists, it true, car11cs
to Chicago the major portion OF the trade OF
Northwestern and ccntTsl Wisconsin, but ovcr
the trade OF the western counties ot the St1.e,
and the rich agricultural counties OF southern
Minnesota, it R1elds no percepttble Influence.
This fact 1e recognised by Chicago; aud
now that the line il question has been COM
rleted to its northern terminus at Green Bar,
The project is agita+ed Of stretching another
arm out westWardly to the Mississippi, by
which the carrying Irade Of Minnesota may
to q greater extent than is now possible,
he controlled by Chicago. We understand
that ffe organization Of new company is
soon to be effected for the construction Of q
road, either from Madison Or Natertowu,
Wis. through the Barab0o Valley to point
near Sparta, where the projected line VII
crose the la Crosse and 3Hl Tankee ratroso'
andthcnce proceed to reach the Missis:ipP!
at Winona By the most direct and feasible
route. The extension Of the Northwestern
-road to Madison, end from thence to Winona
as proposed; woold undoubtedly make thi
The Leading t1otoaghfars Of tho Northwest
and would give 70 Chicago The shortest a:'
most reliable road to the most prcductiv
wheat growing regions Of Wisconsin, Mime
