The Grade.

The grade of Main street, from second
west, is just now creating considerable
stir on the part of several persons who
are injured by it, and who say that they
would have protested against the altera-
ton Of the grade last Fall had they not
been misinforned as 10 the extent which
II would effect them. Be that as 1t may,
the change will affect several buildings
to a considerable extent. We would like
to see a grade established that would be
down hill from the west end Of Main
street to the river, this would give US
a beautiful street and carry of The wafer.
Judging with the eye this would most
nearly conform TO the contour Of Wafer
and Atlantic streets, to which some al
lention should be gwen in locating the
grade of Main.
Yet to suggest grades was not our in.
in this article, but to state how
the city of ST. Joseph shunned these
"grade difficulties" after far more trOu-
bic han we have had here. The citizens
had the Legislature pass an act
employing competant engineers to locate
The grade Of the streets throughout'
which grade is only changeable by an
ACT of the Legislature. This gives a per-
manence which cannot be secured 10 any
other way. Then. whether we can cur
down to the grade, or not, Immediately,
persons desiring to erect business houses
or fine residences will do so with a full
knowledge of all consequences, which
be had under the law in force
here now. In our opinion, with as rough
a Town site as we have, this is the only
manner in which this difficulty can be
cIinched so as not TO be constantly rising
as a stumbling block TO Improvements
The Legislature meets On the 10Th. and
this suggestion IS given for what it is
worth and 'nolhing MORE"

St Joe { Council Bluff B 3

Some two weeks since the Engineers
for this road passed down through AT.
Gibson county, making a survey of this
road opposite this city and within two
miles of the river. This last survey, os
we understand it, was made necessary in
consequence of the determination of the
company to discard The bluff survey and
take to the bottom.
We have, sluee the rebellion ceased
had every confidence IN the early com
pletion of this road. and despite croakers
and high waters, are still confident. St.
Louis Is beginning to awake !; the rapid
strides of Chicago towards the absorp-
ion of the trade of the Northwest is
being realized in 81. Louis. The Dem
Graf Of the 3O,h, after announcing the
arrival in that city of Hon. Willis klps,
President Of the above named company,
says:
awe learn that their business is to q
deavor to enlist our people with them in
the work Of building a road north from
ST. Joseph to the Iowa line, SO as to con.
meet the road in Iowa above named with
The Platte Country road on the south,
thus completing connection between ST.
Louis and Omaha. Ii is. perhaps, need.
less TO say that the success of this enter.
prise Is OF great importance 10 ST. Louis.
= = The road in question will
doubtless be bult-the ~Pecuniary adVan-
Iages offered by .he proposed line being
such as 10 invite capital as an excel INT
opportunity for favorable investment. i
= + Il is a well known fact that
the business of Northwest Missouri and
Southwest Iowa has long been held tri5u-
larry TO Chicago, through The agency of
The Hannibal and ST. Joseph RAILROAD
= = = = This road which, as soon
as the West branch Of the North Mis-
souri, is completed to LeavenworIh, Is
destined to cul an important figure in the
railroad interests Of the Northwest, was,
through the address and energy Of Ger
tain ST. LouisIans, not long since wresIed
from the control above spoken Of. AM
placed in the hands Of parties friendly 10
St. Louis. Now, however, The question
Of extending this line ~norIhward from
St. Joseph, so as TO connect il with the
railroads of Iowa comes up, and The i'm
mediate inquiry is, whether 81. Louis
shall follow up her advantage and secure
the greater prize which is thus offered.
She DOW has the opportunity. = y
We are confident that if our people fail
to reciproca;e with reasonable liberaliIy
sooner or later they must regret the neg
lect. It is not TO be expected that an en-
terprise Of such importance, and promls-
ing such plentiful pecuniary returns, Will
stand sill to await their convenience. If
they do not cooperate now, other aid from
other quarters will be sought, and It Is
easy TO :elI from what direction III most
likely to come"
ST. Louis, we believe, will respond
literally, and we hope to be able to
chronicle a forward movement after the
meeting of the directors of this road 10
June ext.

Railroads.

Last week we published the circular Of
H. Davis, President of the Mississippi
& Missouri Air Line Railroad, which
indicates, beyond peradventure, that that
road, al least, is determined to build an
Air Line and sees the great advantages
Of making BrOwnvilIe a point on their
vuad 10 a Pacific connection.
In the last Roekport Journal We find
that there is a strange competition on the
proposed line Of road, and the curiosity
10 us is principally in the aid given by
Atchison county. The Alexandria and
Nebraska Cny Railroad is competing in
the Northern tier of counties Of Mo-,
with the NJ. & M. Air Line-and At
Gibson county has appropriated $500 for
the preliminary surrey. The Presi den
Of the A. &. N. G. road says in his cir
cular to Atchison county that that ''cOm-
pany are now ready to locate the line Of
their road from Memphis, Scotland CO.,
Mo, through the Northern tier Of cOun-
ties Of Missouri 10 the Missouri %river.''
This is exactly the line proposed by the
M. & NJ. Air Line road, only with this
exception. the former seems TO regard
Nebraska Chy-h0snty fvs miles due
north Of a straight line to a Pacific con.
necfiOn-us its terminus; while the latter
is aiming for a Pacific connection on an
air line through BrOwnville. The latter
q o can easily see Is the most FEAST
bic and sensible of the two. We cannot
comprehend what could induce the A. &
N. G. road 70 run to Rockport and thence
twenty five miles north &c Nebraska City
90 cross the Missouri river, while the
river is out eight miles west Of Rock
pori on a straight line.
The interests east Of US demanding an
air line TO a Pacific connection are too
great to admit of a doub, Of its ultimate
success. Memphis, Scotland county, Mo-,
is directly east of this place, and Fort
Kearney-in a line with which the q. P.
RR will be tapped-is twelve miles north
of us. This was undoubtedly the natu-
raj location of the Pacific road for by
this route all the windings Of the Pacific
road will be obviated. and the most direct
road between the two oceans will be Sc
cured. Eventually shippers of large and
costly cargo Of goods must so closely cal
culated upon time, that in two roads
equally well %eqipped, they will look to
the gain of one hour between oceans,
and this road would shorten the distance
between San Francisco to New York,
Philadelphia, and all points south of the
road at least one hundred miles over the
U. P. R. R.
Within ourselves in this County and
District we have as inducements for a
road an agricultural country equal 10 any,
we have a larger farming population than
any other District in Nebraska and good
lands for a grant and the influence to get
e!
Irrespective of what may be thrownup
