For some time past certain railroad
capitalists have been directing their at.
tention to securing continuous railroad
line from the Atlantic ocean to the Mis-.
siAippi river. All the various routes
were canvassed, and they finally settled
down on a route which combines the
greatest advantages for a through route
of any now in operation or projected.
The Atlantic and Great Western Rail-
road. leaving its southwestern extension
at Gallon, Ohio. will follow the line of
the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Road to
Lima; thence by air line to Logansport,
Indiana thence by the Peoria Road to
Peoria, Illinois; whence by . new road
the line of the Atlantic and Great West
ern will make its western termination at
Hamilton, opposite our city.
This route leaves but about one hun
dred miles Of road to be graded. and the
work Of grading and bridging will be
very light over the entire distance.
The route passes over a 6ne section Of
country in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and
the local business on the part Of the road
yet to be built, through the fine agricul-
tural counties Of western Illinois. will fully
equal that on the line further east; while
the terminus on the Mississippi river, at
the head of uninterrupted navigation,
and at the terminus of the Kepkuk and
Fort Des Moines Road, soon to be brought.
into connection with lines extending to
the eastern terminus of the Great Pacific
Railroad, will be the very best that could
have been selected.
Such a road as this, connecting the
Mississippi and The Atlantic, and running
the entire distance over a broad guage
without change of cars or breaking
bulk, will be the greatest Railroad of the
age. II will eventually secure great
portion of the Southwestern transporta-
ton for the East, because steamers can
reach this point as readily as any other on
the river, snd this Atlantic and Great
Western line will be the only cne which
can send cotton and other articles through
without breaking bulk. For a similar
reason this route will monopolize the rail-
road transportation Of stock and grain
from an immense region of country south
west, northwest and west of US.
The Keokuk and Fort Des Moines Road
is to be pushed on with the greatest dis
patch to Des Moines, and within three or
four years we may count on a connection
from that point by way of Council Bluffs
with the Great Pacific Railroad; and with
the new impetus given to railroad enter
prises by recent events, We expect in
good time to announce in the GATE CRY
the arrival Of Eastern and Western trains
from New York and San Francisco as We
now do from Springfield and Eddyvile.
But however it may be in regard to the
West, it is very certain that Eastern
trains will arrive over this line from the
City of New York within very brief
period, for men who understand what
they are about control the whole matter,
and have abundant means to carry out
the magnificent project which they hav,
conceived.
