First Annual Fair on the Sd, 4sh and

We regret very much that the time
was fixed on the same days as our Coun.

it was an oversight on the part Of ou'

Jefferson county is so situated that
1t is next to impossible for railro ads to
be built without passing through her
territory. Occupying a central posi-
ton between the three leading cities
and the capital Of the Stale. railroads
cannot run around US. They must
come this way in order to be profitable
TO the owners. and accomplish the ends
for which they are made.
Just now there are three roads pro-
posed to be built through our County
-one the A. T. 4 8. F. for which the
bonds of the county are already asked:
another direct from Leava~warth TO
Topeka, to intersect the Pacific road
somewhere near the Indian Mills on the
Grasshopper. and the third from Law
renee. .to intersect the A. 4 p. P. road,
probably near Grassbopper Falls. on the
line Of the A. T. 4 8. F. road.
All these roads, We think. will be built
in time; and after the Pacific road, they
are among the very first that will be con-
structed in Kansas.
These roads will average at least
twenty miles each in the county, and
the Pacific road the same. making a
total Of eighty miles of railroad, and We
think it viii come up to one hundred
Miles.in the county. With such wealth
and facilities Of transportation, Jefferson
county will become almost a garden
throughout. No county in the State
has such prospects. Persons through
out the world seeking homes in the west
should make cote of this fact, and
eone to Jefferson.
Our citizens. generally, are willing
10 help build those roads. They mast
b 6sih. Leavenworth must have hers;
20 Of Lawrence, so of Atchison; and the
fsf-seeiog in al these cities see the ne
cessity which is upon them now. We
can easily afford to give $780, 900 to
aid the three roads contemplated. and
BE- ten millions of dollars richer for the
bs.towal of the aid. Say If the three
roads only make sixty miles. We think

Lawrence is in dead earnest in this

proposition. Leavenworth is moving
and - soon as her citizens get wide
awake and rub the dust from their eye.
they will see what We tell them else
where. that their salvation depends up
on prompt aetion in this direction.
Let the good work go on. A rail
read through the southern par, Of ths
county; another through the nor.herr
and western portion. and two through
the center At right angles. will give u
sucb sccommodations as are seldom
possessed BY one county. And this
result is not only possible. but il is al
most certain. The needs of the State

Leavenworth and Railroads.


For four years past We have pointed
out the true policy of Leavenworth on
the subject ofrailroads, and every days
only adds to the force Of
what We have said, and what We fore
saw four years ago.
The whole secret Of successful rail-
road policy for any city. is. to make t.
self THE railroad center for xespheye Of
its influence or the reach Of its trade
How can Leavenworth do this! Easi-1
ly. She has only to use her advantages.
and the cad is attained. the prize in
her grasp. Here is the plain. .unmistak-
able policy. Make herself tie center Of
all the straight or short lines. To do
this she has but three lines to secure.
none of them long. and two of them
quite short. In the first place. she.
with all the other cities of this region.
must look to the scest for the trade that
will build them up. Hence, the FIRST and
most important Of all considerations is
to secure the best. the shortest, the COM
naanding line of communication west
ward. This she can do by b.;ldi"s /.
road on a direct line to Topeka. Thir-
ty-6ve miles of road will do this, and
shorten the distance from Leavenwoi::aa
to Topeka about seventeen miles, or
nearly half the distance Of the road to
be built! The road will intersect the
Pacific road at or near the crossing Of
the Grasshopper in the vicinity Of the
Indian Mills. We say with emphasis.
Leavenworth must secure the construc-
ton of this road, or she fails.
The next road is that to Cameron,
which will shorten the distance to Chi
cago some twenty miles. This road.
We believe, is already secured, or abou.
to be.
The next 10 the connection with the
North MISSOURI road. which will shorten
the distance to St. Louis some IS or SO
miles.
These three roads will shorten the
distances in the aggregate about e5
miles. Thus: westward II miles: To
Chicago 90 miles; to st. Louis (at least
As miles. Such result the most cas-
ual observer can see will place Leaven'
worth ahead Of all competitors. Be-
ing in the center on the short lines, al
other roads sciu seek the outlets that pass
through her. Nothing else Will secure
her this superior. this paramount advan'
tage. She may switch herself to des.;i
land this is &c fgura.ive speech. } Will
side tracks and circuitous connections
and lose all in the end. for switches ant
side tracks only put her away from the
/ ceutvr, whsou WIN Oe somewhere else
If she does not secure it.
1t is mn entirely mistaken policy fol
I,eaveuwortb to sacrifice one particle o
interest in St. Louis for Chicago. Tht
river connection is one Of her most i'm
portant aids. and will always be inval
liable. Time will only enhasce the
worth of this assistance to trade. I'm
der a system of free labor. now tina
slavery is done away. the South vii
TEEN with produce and manufactures
and trade connections with the South
ern States via St. Louis will become O
more importance to Leavenworth il
time than with the East.
j Any policy that oyerlooks this mani
fest tendency OF things must prove IA
tai in the end. Leavenworth can nov
grasp the prize. Will she reach fortt
the hand and take it while it is ye
within her reach?
