From tho LeaTenworth Bulletin, sd fnst.1
Our St. Louis contemporary-the Uaiou-
discourses at some length on the advantage
TINT Chicago would have over st. Louis
should the former city succeed in obtain1ng O
direct communication with Leavenworth by
railroad before the Missouri Pacific road shall
be completed to Kansas City, aud calls atten-
tion to q lengthy communication from per-
son at Wyandott, on the same subject Our
st. Louis frlenls and Wyan1ott neighbor6
need give Themselves no further trouble
about the railroad interests Of our city. The
time has passed when either capital or enter
prise can prevent the interests ofLeayeuworth
and Chicago becoming identical. Time
has been when our merchants pur-
chased largely at st. Louis and Cincinnati; !;
but the casualties Of War have changed the
trude to other channels, and that perhaps to
has proved far better market for Kan5as
than either Of the river towns we have men-
TONED. st. Iouls hAs always been opposed
to the growth and prosperity Of our city, and
her capitalists and business men did all in
their power before the war to build up RI
SIMS hare no particu}ar friendship for St.
Louis, md will not hesitate to pass her by,
even where inducements Of that city no moro
than equal those Of her rival, Chicago. There
Is no doubt hut that We shall hare ra1lFoad
from the opposite bank Of the Missouri River
10 lnter6ect the Hannibal anu st. Joe Road,
In full operation within Six months from this
date. The whole project has been arranged
satisfactory to the parties concerned, and pro-
nminary surveys arc being made. The road
is now graded to within fifteen miles Of our
city, and arrangements are being made to
finish the balance as soon as the weather will
permit. With this road to Cameron, we will
have direct line Of rai1road to Chicago.
leaycuworth will then, as NOW, control
the entire trade Of the State and most Of that
Of New Mexico. The bridge across the Kan
sas River at Lawrence Is nearly completed,
SO that when spring opens there will be no
chance Of any other city or point Interfering
with tho New Mexican trade. That trade
has been secured for orIeayenworth, and twill
be long time before 1t can be diverted into
another channel Some Of our more enter
prising merchants have agents In that coun-
try who will make 8 thorough CANVASS this
winter, and secure the balance Of the trade.
Chicago, as well as our city, Is interested In
this Trade, and the capitalists and railroad
men Of both places will not let the favorable
time pass to secure the trade for all time to
come.
The attention of our citizens is now turned
in The direction Of Chicago, and the compile
tion Of the LeayenWorth and Cameron road
will be hailed by them US another advance in
favor of the continued prosperity Of the Nc
tropolis Of Kansas.
