TAGGING.

Our stage travel east could be rendered
much moro comfortable, and far more
expe di.ious if the route through ria JEFF
terson was not made dependant upon the
one running round by Fort Dodge. Under
the present arrangeme nt we, on the Upper
Missouri, are no nearer a railroad so far
as time is concerned, than we were when
obliged to 60 to Nevada via Fort Dodge.
The reason Of this is, that although the
railroad is extended twenty-five miles
further west and the new route via JEFF.
ferson much more disrct, yet the running
time on the direct route being made to
conform to that on the circut:ous one no
saving Of time in staging is made either
by the extension Of the railroad or the
opening of the Jefferson route. This
should be reme!ed, and the route direct
made to run Independent of the route
c'rcut'ous. Stage passengers going east
have no fancy for laying by at such
place as Jefferson, when the hotel accom-
modatlans are execrable and within
twenty-five miles of the Railroad, and
with no better excuse than the desire on
the part of the Stage Company to run
both the Fort Dodge and Jefferson stages
into Boonsboro ct about th. same time. -
On the other hand, passengers for the
west are not particularly partial to riding
out twenty-five miles 10 Jel'ers on-then
laying over al! night, Especially if they
have been forced to stay there before)
then going on to Sac, and there waiting
all day for the Fort Dodge Stage. Tray
e'ers we are aware will grumble, but in
the matter of staging between Sioux City
and Boonsboro we think they should Be
excused if they do end little fault
