Railroad Election.

In our last weeks issue we endeavor
ed to show that the voters of Nemaha
county, ought to vote for the Bonds and
the Tax on the 9TH day of January next
as an inducement to the M & M A L R
R Co.., to build their road to this county
and that as expeditiously as possible.
We wish now to show, first, that the
investments will be a financial success.
Our county is about twenty miles wide.
We estimate that 100000 will grade
and lay the iron through the county
This money, if the vote is favorable, can
all be raised from the business men of
this county, and we will assume that not
one cent will ever be called for unless
the land grant is obtained, or unless the
funds to finish the road to Ft. Kearney
is secured beyond a doubt. Congress
ional aid FOR roads has heretofore been
ten sections for every mile of road, or
6400 acres, which valued at Sc per acre
(the price the Illinois Central sold hers
at when building that road) amounts to
$38,400per mile, sufficient to construct the
balance of the road to any desired point
In other words a capital Of 100000
with the aid of the lands, will construct
a road worth as many millions. One
half of which will be owned by the coun-
tv of Nemaha. So we conclude the in
vestment of $3.50, 900 will be financial
success.
Secondly, that when the Missouri road
is completed to the Missouri river oppo-
site our county, our farmers with just the
real estate they now own, will be worth
more than they now are by twice the
S35O,OOO. Residents of this county own
100000 acres of land, situated in Ne
maha county, which is assessed at SIS
per acre, and which is probably worth
$40 per acre, on an average, or 81 ,OOO,-
OOU 10 the aggregate.
Now we will suppose the road through
Northern Missouri built, and the cars
running thereon from Quincy, Illinois, to
Peru, Brownvale, or Nemaha City, in
this county; this of itself would make
certain the completion of our road, and
this certainty would enhance the value
of all real property in this county in the
same ratio as the building of the U P
R R did the real property of Douglas
County, as the following comparative
statement of the valuation of the two
oO,,rAino mara fnllrr shnuus.
Nebraska advertiser., 1867-12-26
counties more fully shows:

All admit that Nemaha county being
the better county of the two, should un-
der as favorable circumstances, show as
much or more assessable property than
Douglas; yet Douglas, with her railroad
advantages, leads US now by about five
millions of dollars. And as Douglas
from 1863 to 1864, without a railroad,
but because of the moral certainty that
she soon was to have, increased her val
uation by almost S1,OOO,OO0. So we
conclude that the resident farmers Of Ne
maha county, with the road completed TO
her borders, through Northern Missouri,
from Quincy, which would render NOR
ally certain the completion of our own
road, would realise like profit, and that
their real estate, now worth 81 900, 900
would then be worth $2,OOO,OOO or at the
lowest estimate, more than twice the
$3.50, 900, in advance of its present val.
ue.
Thirdly, That the tax TO be levied to
raise the principle and interest is only
about one third of the increased market
value of our expectations.
We estimate the increase on the va
rious productions of export of the county
as follows:
100000 bu corn at 10 cts per bu $40, 1000
100000 '' wheat =" 4" g 10000
10000 head of Cattle at 50 each 10000
Total $4,000
Deduct interest on the Bonds S24, 500
Leaving gain to the County of $45, 500
We believe the facts as they may be
developed in the future, will fully war
ran: the conclusions we have arrived at.
They have this merit, at least, we be-
lieve them to be true.
Next week we will endeavor to show
that a tax of three mills on the dollar
each year for twenty years will more
han pay the principle and interest of the
loan asked for

A western paper tells the following
rather tough story:
IAN accident of a remarkable nature
occurred In the woods of neighboring
county last week, by which man was
thrown eighty feet into the air. He was
standing on balance tree lying across
a large log, to see another tree coming
down, when the tree in its falling course
struck the other end of the tree on which
he was standing, and the tremendous
weight of It's coming on the sTring lever.
threw him. like a shot into the air. The
remarkable part of the story remains to
be told. When at his highest elevation
the man caught hold of limb in the top
of a tree, about fifteen feet from the
trunk, and remained suspended by the
arms until the person who had felled the
tree travelled a distance of five miles and
returned with help and ladder, before
he could be. released from his perilous
position. He was found in the same posi-
ton as when left, evidently in the best
of spirits, for he was visiting yankee
Doodle, and making a strong fight with
his feet against delegation of wasps
that we're endeavoring to build nest in
the seat of his pants. He said, upon
reaching the ground, that he had had a
healthy time, with the 'varmints,' and
attributed his powers of endurance who'll
ly to the hothy contested canvass he had
with the 'criters' by their persistent fire
in the rear, and the tremendous excite
ment incident thereto. If that man ever
gets into office, he will be provided for
the rest Of his natural life. He will know

There it lies, as it lay in the olden air,
When my grandfather's feet Ger it trod,
As he followed the track of the glittering share
0rmOwed with the scythe the green sod.
There it lies, as it lay in my grandfather's prime,
When he scattered the golden grain,
Or bound the sheaves IN the bright harvest time,
Ashe never shall bind them again.
There is many rood of its generous soil,
And so oft have traversed them all,
That my locks all white with the time and TOLL
And I'm ripe, like an ear in the fall.
And my son is at work in tie old field now
How the eaper makes music for Will
'Tis fashioned thing, that is drawn as plow,
And has pulleys and wheels like mill.

For he says that it threshes tne grainvery fast
That it winnows it ready to sow.
