RAILROAD WAR.
In regard to the railroad war now in
progress between the Milwaukee x st.
Paul and the Chicago g. North W estern
railroads, the Baraboo, Wis, Republic
Of the 18th has the following:
Two weeks ago we gave currency TO the
statement that the st. Paul railroad COM
pany had undertaken the construction Of u
railroad from Milwaukee to Chicago in
opposition 10 the Lake Shore line of the
North Western company. Last night,
Col. Van Mcean, engineer in chief for lat
ter company, at this place, received in
structions by telegraph 20 institute sur
vey from such point Of the line of the
BarAboo extension as might be most avail
able for a direct road to Milwaukee.
The urgency Of his instructions may be
inferred from the fact that at this writing
surveying corps have already been organ
lied and is now well on its way to the
base of operations at Lodi. 1t will be the
object of Mr.. Van Meean to take the most
direct route from Lodi TO Milwaukee.
Two surveys have been suggested
one leading from Lodi to Columbus on n
line for which Chester is now held by the
Northwestern company; the second via
<, I,,k
than either can be found, it will be pre-
ferred. a survey is also TO be made from
the most eligible point on the line adopted
said from an assured knowledge of facts,
We believe we may add that the road with
the branch indicated will be built beyond
peradventure, and but one thing will
prevent its construction-the.la abandon
ment of the Milwaukee and Chicago line
by the st. Paul company, and Of this there
is, We conceive, no shadow of hope. Over
powering as are the odds against him. Mr..
Mitchell's pride and s,ubborness will urge
him to the struggle. We may safely assume
that as the road will be the most direct one
between Milwaukee and La Crosse, so it
will be the most complete in all its ap-
pointments. 1t will monopolize trade BE-
tween the Mississippi river and Lake
