fiience that St. Joseph is going to build
rsiIroad ell the way from that city to
the Rocky Mountains. We refer to The
fact that Atchison. although much new.

ST. Joseph, has. BY some means. secured
far more important railroad connections
than the latter city, or will have such
connections completed soonest. Bot nsi.
