WhsN the var commenced, or rasher y hen
tbs Rnadeial sEisia Of Isl came upon "a,
the prospects Of ConEGil Bluffs for an
early senasoaica with S.. Joseph by rail,
was prenising. But from the fall Of ,5T
- sAe present time, comparatively, aoth-
la& has beea5 dsaa upon either Of lheae
xaads.
6ass In reply to this We hase to say
sA&s instead Of Comparatively nothings
hssag Ssss ca shess roads sinca 1857, all
<aAas has spey been done upon them has
bssa 9sns ssmcs that date. The Council
Rsnss aad ST. Joseph Railroad Company
was rot organized sntii 1858, and during
tAs years 1861 nsaz thirty miles Of the
Feed mas graded aad large amoant Of
s<ass-tias wszs placed upon tbs line. Just
ssswish the Platte CCsnsry Railroad, the
rssd Ma completed from St. Joseph 70
6xyaaaah and graded 10 near Forrest City
Ia the years 1861, jet Barks says
Comparatively nothing'' has been done
since 1857.
While Basks gives Mr. Kssson great
sssais los. procuring The acknowledges
mani on the part Of the United States Of
the dsbs due the county," and justly, too,
we might be permitted to remark that had
u net been for an article in The Bugle,
gsrhaps hr. Kasson would never hare at

In relation TO commencing work on the
Ceaneif Bluffs 4 81. Joseph Railroad, lest
BaEks shoald through ignorance Eaislead
tbs pablis, ne viii remark thaa the Com
pspy have contract With responsible
person oinding bin to 90 somplete the
satire road With all the necessary water
tasks, sssaoats, switches, turn tables, and
aaAes hxtsres, s0sthiR Davss mouths after

people need haze no faars upon tbs qaes-
