South WOODBURY., March 5, 1872.
As there is much interest felt in the rail
road project now being discussed in all th'
papers IN this Vicinity, we of the town o
Woodbury. feel like asking all who have an,
interest in the Montpelier and Black River
Railroad TO let us he heard in relation to oul
interests, AMI as ne believe, the interests o
tbs largest number who can be benefited BY
this proposed road
In the first place, it is conceded by nearly
all that this road must be supported naainls
/ By local business Now we claim that such
being the case, the road will be best located

burgh, Albany, Craitsbury, Hardwick,
/ Woodbury., Calais and Elst Montpelier, and
lntersect with the Wells River r. r. at E.
Montpelier or at Montpelier. We here,
and We believe all on the route, will not be
particular at which place it terminates. As
regards the proposed route through WOrces-
ter and Emore over Eagle Ledge " to
Wolcott, thence through North Wolcott to
Albany or the west part of Craftsbury, there
will not be one half many people benefited
by 1t as to 20 through the first mentioned
towns, nor Will the road get nearly as much
help, in my opinion, from Worcester and
Elmore as from Calais and Woodbury.. In
short, we think the present mail route from
Montpelier to Hardwick, via Calais aud
Woodbury., is the most feasible route, passing
it does the business places on the route.
\ careful comparison of business Stats
ties of North Montpelier, E lst Calais, South
Woodbury. and Woodbury., with the same
from Worcester and Einore, will help to
decide in relation 90 where the road should g.
Perhaps a brief statement in relation to
what Is now being done at some of the for
mer places may have a good influence with
some who mean ID support the road, ami are
honest enough To advocate WANT seems right

Chief Engineer Roberts OF the Northern
Pacific road, has carefully studied the west
ern snow problem during the past three
years, and in recent report he sums up
his conclusions in this sentence a With
ordinary means of protection at exposed
Joints, the Northern Pacific railroad, when
completed by the Yellowstone route, can
unquestionably be kept open for regular
traffic its entire length across the continent,
even during winters as severe az the pre- sent,
should they occur" He further says, allud-
LIZ TO mass Of testimony from Montana
.. These very favorable reports, during a
winter of unprecedented severity, cover the
most elevated aud mountainous portions Of
our line. where distractions from snow would
occur I anywhere on the route and when
1t Is remembered that the distractions on
the Union Pacific hsvs been virtually con-
fined to section Of $50 miles, every part OF
which Is at least 1000 feet higher than the
highest summit on the Northern roE c, and
most of which is $500 to 3O0D feet higher
than the mountain section of equal length
on the Northern Pacific line, 1t becomes
perfectly safe to predict tor the latter as
complete exemption from winter blockade
as is enjoyed by railroads in New York and
New England.
