WESTERN UNION RAHRoAD.-The report
that the Western Union Railroad has been
sold to Alexander Mitchell, the President of
the Milwaukee & st. Paul Company, has
probably some truth in it. This road, ex.
tending from Racine, on Lake Michigan,
sizty'two miles north Of Chicago, and TWEEN.
ty'three miles south of Milwaukee, in a di,
rection south of west l42 miles to Savanna
and thence to Port Byron, formes line
about one hundred and eighty miles in
length. BY the use of the Port Byron
branch, the company has been enabled TO
run trains through from this city to Racine.
lntersectlng all the main lines Of the Chica.
go Northwestern and passing through one
OF the most fertile and most populous dis.
tricts Of Illinois and Wisconsin, but never.
theless its traffic is reported as having been
quite light. Racine cannot offer advantages
either to sellers Of produce or buyers Of
goods equal to those Of larger cities. like
Chicago and Milwaukee. As branch Of
the Milwaukee & st. Paul the road should
be able to obtain a heavy business, espec.
tally in grain. Its most direct outlet to
Milwaukee is BY the Milwaukee Division of
the Chicago Il Northwestern, but as the
Western Union is calculated TO take away
business from the latter road, il has never
received any favor from it, Now that the
Milwaukee St. Paul and the Northwestern
are to so great an extent under the same
management, the trains of the Western Tn.
ion may find an outlet over the Iatter's line
However the lines Of the Western Union
and st. Paul roads are bus twelve or 6fteer
miles spart for some distance, and il will be
easy to build road to connect them. in
which event Rock Island will have A ST
Paul railroad, and will be enabled to furnish
one to DAVENPORT, thereby saving TIE worried
citizens Of that place all the trouble and
Fexstion of spirit in which they are labor
ing at present-though we hardly think it
will be the kind of ST. Paul railroad they
want over there. ts
