A Daily Line of Stages 10 St. Paul.

An effort is being made, and is like
~ to prove successful, to make the
mail from Cedar Falls to St. Paul, III
yeet. via the Cedar Valley, a daily line
This will be of great advantage Ia
all the towns on the line. Those which
now receive only a tri-wcekly mail
will then have the advantage of a
daily. This applies to the towns from
Nashua to Owatonna, Minnesota, q
distance of liz miles.
1t seems to us to be a great inins.
tice TO the flourishing towns at the
North of us, in the Cedar Valley, to
restrict their mail communication to
three times week. Such places as
Charles City, Usage, Mitchell, and
others we might mention, are certain
ly entitled to a daily mail, and abso-
lntely need it. In addition to this, the
proposed arrangement will increase
the travel over the Dubuque & Sioux
City Railroad, this route having the
advantage of the shortest distance of
stage travel and the most natural
thoroughfare-only preceding by two
or three years the iron horse which
will open up the great highway of
travel from Dubuque to St. Paul.
In view of the advantages to he de.
rived from such All arrangement, those
living along the line indicated should
labor to bring it about at an early
day eadr Falls Democrat.

Local NEWSPAPERS.

Local papers should be a complete
reflex of the business and prosperity
OF their place of publication, and
every one ought to be impressed with
the Importance of this fact. 1t should
be the imperative duty of all business
men to patronize, sustain and encour.
age their local journals, not only for
their own individual interest, but for
the welfare of the community in which
they are published. Local news OF
local papers is SO regarded by intclli,
gent business men in every place. 1t
is through this source that one is
qualified to judge of the business and
|activity Of towns and villages; there
fore, the necessity of literally patron
lzlng local papers, not only by the
way Of advertising, but in furnishing
the material to make them entertain
ling and profitable to all. 1t cannot
be expected that an editor is cogniz-
ant of all that is transporting through
put the town and county, and for
his reason every man should feel it a
privilege to assist in making public,
through the local papers, events of
daily occurrence in the community in
(which he resides.

The Pacific Railroad bill, lately
passed by Congress, provides for the
construction of a main branch road
from the Western boundary of this
State, the point to be fixed by the
President of the United States, and
one hundred miles of the work to be
finished in two years. 1t is thought
that Council Bluffs will bc the point
selected, as it is provided in the bill
that rhen road shall hare been built
through Iowa or Minnesota to Sioux
City, the Union Pacific Company
shall be authorized and required to
build trunk thence to the Eastern
terminus of the Pacific Trunk Road.
The Sioux City line being contingent
ly provided for, any way, Council
Bluffs or Omaha will probably be the
Eastern starting point for the main
branch. So says the Des Moincs

The probabilities of Gov. Faville's
nomination for member of Congress
from this District become more GER
tain from day to day. He will go into
the Convention with the support OF
the entire Western Delegations, CON-
prising five, if not six, counties. In
some of the other counties, after q
complimentary vote for one of their
own men, the Delegates will support
Mr.. Faville as their second choice.
This. it is confidently believed, will at
once give him majority in the Con-
vention and secure his nomination.
