RAILROAD MATTERS.

The Ozaukee Go. Adcerttser speaking
of the jealousy of the Milwaukee wheat
interest and its opposition 20 the Lake
Shore towns north. it says: Port
Washington is rich
She has now a harbor we'll under way
towards completion. She is not in debt
She can build warehouses, and Sheboy-
gan, Manitowoe and Two Rivers are much
ADLER than she. With harbor at each
place, can few railroad stations monop-
Ollie their trade No. Milwaukee cannot
blast them, but she may ALLEVIATE them
from her and they like children who
stand no longer In their parents affec-
tons, will for their prosperity, depend
on themselves. They can do it. Their
resources are ample. Sending their
wheat and -four east on vessels hailing
from their ports, they will get higher
price than anything that goes from Mil
waukee. Manitowoc is nearer the cen
ter of the State than Milwaukee. She
has fne harbor; it is never frozen.
The lake is twenty miles narrower than
at Milwaukee. She and Sheboygan are
much nearer routes to New York for the
greater part of the state, and Manitowoc
Is tue natural outlet of tho Northern Pa
cihc road. 1t would be no way strange
if Manitowoc should become the metro
polls of Wisconsin. Let us hopes he may.
She has never shown that spirit of Hill
berahty that seems to rule in milwaukee,
Two Rivers, only FIVE miles distant re-
quests large appropriation for har-
Dor, and she does not oppose it. What
would Milwaukee do under similar cir
cumstances Self reliant Mani.owoc
makes no attempt to avoid competition
generous, she desires the prosperity of
all. But when and where has Milwau-
kee been generous towards any interest
in the State, or any town in it? No,
Milwaukee says: ''Stand at distance
from me you towns of the Lake Shore"
Let us grant the request. Buffalo and
Chicago will gladly receive US. Chicago
has sent her railroad to all that have
sought her connection. Let US apply to
her, and 60 to her. if we can, without
giving offence to Milwaukee by stopping
where we are summed Let us visit our
friends. We shall want more aid for
our harbor. Buffalo has always said
good word for US. Chicago will do so
when we ask her influence. Milwaukee
will always oppose us, as she has DONE
She has an idol in the shape of an eleva
tor; she is Joined to it, let her alone.
Let US not be among her sacrifices.

From tie Pentwatcr Ne,cs. TIE en-
gineers who have been engaged making
the final survey of the road arriving here
on Thursday last, and after stalking the
lire to the north limits of the village,
took their departure. The party of en-
gineers engaged placing the grade stakes,
we understand, are very near, and are
closely followed by gangs of men clearing
and grading. Upon the arrival of the
latter party, ground will be broken in
Pentwater We have been informed by
one of the surveying party that the con-
tract has been let for building the bridge
over the harbor, and that it will be in

TIE new school house in the lst ward
is rising rapidly, under the charge of
Mr.. Henry Greve, for the carpenter and
joiner work, and Mr.. Rossow for the
mason work. The building will be two
stories high, besides the basement, where
the heating furnace will be located for
warming the entire building. The school
has three entrances, thus furnishing ecsy
access to the different rooms, which are
large and airy. and will prove quite a
change for the better, compared with the
present insufficient and uncomfortable ac-
comnodations for the scholars.
The building is expected to be ready
for occupation before next winter sets in,
Its location is central and commanding,
and when finished will prove an honor to
the officers and citizens of the I'd Dis
trict. and one of the finest ornaments of
our city.

There is now absolutely no doubt but
the Lake Shore Railroad will be built
and right away. The faithful and able
| representatives of the company-Messrs.
Villas and Elwell-had a long and hot
contest with several conflicting railroad
interests before they could secure the
means to build the road. But they won.
They have brought back positive and
unquestlonable proof that their mission
to New York was grand success. They
have deposited $4,000 in the German
Bank; 4: 500 tons of railroad iron (enough
to iron the road between this city and
Milwaukee, have actually been bought
and paid for and will be shipped immed-
lately; 100000 more ties for the road
were bought and paid for in Chicago, on
Monday; the construction train and To-
connective have been bought and will be
shipped to this city without delay. Work
will commence at this city on Monday,
and will be pushed as fast as men and
money can do it.
incidentally, we desire to mention that
five cargoes of ties for the Lake Shore
Road have been received at this port, are
paid for, and are on the ground large
number OF tools have been received to
commence with; two rooms over Black
stock & Muth's store, formerly occup pied
by Mr.. Hawkins Art Gallery, have been
rented for the office of the Company, and
boarding places for large force OF men
have been secured.
Mr.. Chas. NJ. Perkins, of New York
City, is the contractor for the road and
Mr. I'll. G. FL. Reed, of this city, is the
engineer. Both are experienced railroad
men. We understand that it is the in
tention of the Contractor to have the
road in running order between this city
and Milwaukee by the first of January,
all Of which means-well We think it
means business. What do you think
about it.
We have taken especial pains to ascer.
tain the facts in relation to the Lake
Shore Road, and we assure our readers
that the statements we have made are
upon the best authority.
