The surveying party on the Nishna
Valley Route have completed their
work and returned. They are now
busy making out their official report
which we shall endeavOr to give next
week. The following notes handed
us by e. G.. Ferris will be Of great in
terest: .c ri
The route all the way is through a
level bottom, with no heavy work at
any point. The line Is generally
straight, with curves only at such
places as is necessary to reach the
points where business naturally con-
centrates. snow
The country is well settled, and I'M
fertility. The valley Ofthe Bottna I'M
surpassed anywhere for richness and
like most of our western valleys, does
not terminate on each side in abrupt
hills and precipitOus bluffs, but slopes
gradually back with gentle rises almost
i~mperceptible. otg.
The construction is easy owing to
the face of the country being almost
level, il is estimated that the grading
can bedOne at an average cost of $1,000
per mile. This is not much more
than one third Ofthe usual cost. There
are no expensive bridges to be built
as the longest structure of this kind
has but eighty feet span. There are
not three miles between Atlantic and
Hamburg where the grade is over IF
teen feet TO the mile. From these facts
it is evident that the road can be easily
constructed and at a comparatively
expense. It's advantages are
numerous. Mr.. Ferris thinks there
are now more acres Of improved land
within a mile Of the line than any
other road of equal length in Western
Iowa The exceeding richness of the
country Is attracting emmigratiOn
and the whole bottom is being settled
with unexampled rapidity.
In point Of connections this pFOpos.
ed road cannot be excelled. Leaving
the Missouri river at St Joe. and
Council Bluffs road and at Hamburg
in Fremont county, IL crosses the
Burlington & Missouri river road at
Red Oak in Montgomery county, and
forms a junction with the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific road, at At
thus giving the people along
the route the advantage of a connec-
ton with three separate railways

There IL 10 be q Constitutional Con-
ventiOn held in Illinois in December
next. A few prominent citizens rep
resenting the press of that State have
been appointed TO lay before that con-
vention the propriety Of Incorporating
into the New Constitution the follow
ing points:
/. That, as the people have a right
to know the laws by which they are
expected to be governed, these laws
should be published in the newspa-
pers, as the most direct manner of i'm
parting this information.
2. That all public notices in refer
ence to sales of property under execu-
ton, should be published in q news
paper as an act of justice to the debtor,
and in order to secure the widest mo-
tOriety, thus preventing the sacrifice
Of property under secret and forced
sales.
3. That the substance of all laws of
a private character to be enacted by
the Legislature, should be made
known TO the people by previous an
nOuncement Of their purpOrt by the
persons proposing to apply for such
legislation, and that without such
previous notice no such EIWs should
be permitted TO 60 into effect.

The Harvard College Boat Club
contests at Putney, in England, with
the Oxford University Club for cham
piOnship Of the oar. The time is not
yet decided upon. Both parties are
now rowing on the Thames to develop
their muscle, and by way of practice,
to use themselves to the boats and the
water in which the race is to be made.
Much feeling prevails in America on
the success or failure Of their favorite
Harvard Club. In their private pulls
over the distance, they have come
within five seconds Of making the
best time recorded for that distance.
Although we could have but little in
terest in a race between two sets of
Oarsmens, but as an international
contest, we are for the Harvard.
The Yacht races; the races of Ten
Broeck's Horses; the Heenan and
Sayers prize fight, and Paul Murphy's
chess tour were all matters Of national
interest, as every such test of pluck,
skill or muscle between our own citi-
zens or those Of any other nation
claiming superiority must ever be.
So look for the boat race this or the
next month.
