Picnic in Clay Township.

EDITOR REFrBLlCAN--It having been
advertised that there would be a picnic
in the grove near Judge Woodcock's on
Saturday, the 29th inst, accordingly, at
an early hour in the day, considerable
number Of young people Of the sur
rounding country, with few Others
from the neighboring counties OF Holt
and Nodaway, assembled at the place
designated, to spend the day in social
intercourse and other harmless pas
times.
1t was lovely day, with cool, re-
freshing breeze from the north, which
tinged the cheeks with 4 rudiy hue and
infused new life into the muscles and q
joyous feeling into the mind in the an
ticipation OF the pleasures Of the day.

Railroad Prognostications.
From the Missouri Valley I

from lnc JilsSOirl Nility Ilileh-I
We have been repeatedly asked wheth.
er there is probability that the Kansas
City, st. Joseph and Council Bluffs
Railroad Company intend 70 change
their track from the present riv-
er route to the Old grade of the Platte
county road, by the way OF Sayan-
nah and Oregon. We answer that we
do not know what the intentions of the
company are in regard to this matter. but
if we are 10 credit the managers with
ordinary business capacity. and none
will doubt it. then we would say they
will not move for the following reasons:
First, they have q road POI miles in
length, without hill to overcome On
the whole route, and they wouldn't dis
play good Judgment to change from an
almost level route to one of such heavy
grades as the one referred to above.
Second, the length of the road would
be increased at least ten miles, and tE2y
could not afford to run it for the same
they can the present route, the distance
and l!e;lyy grade bOtA combining to add
largely TO the expense; Of course it
NbuIl Dt ~ WHY SpOu tIilLi,S lOt oiCEOll
il they would make the change, but it
would be bad Judgment on the part Of
the company.
The only hope for q railroad near
Oregon is in connection with an east and
west route, or one coming down the
Nodaway. 1t is thought that the high
lands between Banks Spring and some
point near Grant, can he crossed on n
grade Of 10 feet per mile. Ii this is cor
rect, then we may secure Il connection
with the NOdaway Valley. But the
most feasible route would be in connec-
tion with some road coming from Man
haitian, Kansas, down the Wolf River
Valley. thence by the way of Oregon, in
the direction of Chicago. East and
west routes must necessarily encounter
heavy grades, heavier than our county
presents by any of the natu-
raj lines that may he found
y route was surveyed Il few years ago
under the direction OF Jabez Beaumont,
from the elevator TO the southern limits
Of Oregon. 1t was found that the grade
would not exceed G5 feet per mile. A
more natural route than this may be
found by ascending kunkers Fork of
Mill Creek, thence across the divide TO
NickorS Creek, where no further impcd-
imcnt would be found this side OF the
Nodaway, whence connection may be
made with any route east, or with the
Nodaway Valley road.
