Messrs, Nye, Collins and Rice, of
Pawnee, were in this city last Monday
night. They left at our Office two
large specimens of stone coal taken
from the coal bed near Pawnee City.
The coal looks more like the solid
Pennsylvania stone coal than any we
have ever seen from western mines.
They say such coal is sold at the place
where taken out at So per tun. This
opens up a new era for Pawnee county.
Her prairies are fertile and well wa
tered. The hedge will supply her
fences, and the coal is abundant for
fuel, and pine lumber can be procured
in sufficient quantities for building
purposes. These combined, warrant
us in saying that Pawnee county is
second to none in the State for agri-
cultural purposes.

Mr.. EDFToRs-As there is fair pros
pect that Nemaha county will soou
have Railroad communieation with
the outside world, it is proper that the
people should know what is necessary
for them to de in order to secure this
result.
It is generally required that the peo-
pie along the line Of q railroad should
SUBSCRIBE in their corporate and indi-
vidual character, a sufficient amount
to grade and tire the road. Let us see
if Nemaha county can afford to do
that much for a road running along
the west bank of the Missouri river, to
connect US with st. Louis and with
Omaha.
This county is eighteen miles from
north to south, and where the road
would enter it at st. Deroin, is nine
miles east where it would leave on the
north side. but as the road would run
diagonally across the county, the dis
lance would be about twenty-five
miles.
The most of the distance it would be
built on the bottom land, but there
are four places where it would run
along hill-sides. One above st. De-
roin, another below the mouth of the
Little Nemaha, the third, Immediate
ly above Brownville, and the fourth,
below Peru. These places will ay-
erage about one and a half miles each,
or six miles in all. That is six miles
Of hillside grading, and nineteen
miles Of bottom grading.
Suppose that the six miles of hill
side grading would average twelve
thousand dollars per male, and the
bottom land would average one thou
sand dollars per mile. This would
make

I have no doubt but that $15O,0OO
will prepare the road for the Iron, and
surely that amount of stock should be
taken by the people of any county
along the road.
This county has property to the
value of I'VE two millions of dollars
now, and should the road be built
next year, it will have over four mil
lions of dollars worth of property, by
the time the road is finished.
The road itself will be valued on the
Assessors books, at least three hun
dred thousand dollars, and the extra
wealth that viii be brought into the
county, together with the tax cOllec-
ted from the road, will more than pay
the increased tax to collected.
This S15O,OOO, together with many
other thousands of dollars, will all be
expended in this county, giving en-
ployment to many men, and then
when the road is finished, the compa-
ny will keep a host of men employed
in the various departments of labor,
necessary to carry OH the business of
the road, and to keep it in repair.
Fourteen months ago l was in Oma-

about the same yet.

Eggs-P dog p cts. 40G50
Butter-R b 25630. 50060

Nearly every thing else was in pro-
portion, and had we have had railroad
communications at that time, the far
mers of this county would have re-
ceived many thousands ofdollars more
than they did receive.
The farmers of this county have a
surplus of farm products for sale, say,
to the amount of four hundred thou
sand dollars. Now, if railroad adds
only five per cent. to the value there
Of, it amounts to twenty thousand
dollars, which is more than the far
mers of this county pay to the tax
collector. VISA. P.
