The above article discusses 4 scheme Tor
Railroad running across the entire State, from
Lake Michigan to Lake Erie. There ID no doubt
but that such road is desirable. But the
great difficulty is to find somebody to construct
1t under the present condition OF monetary mat
tiers and the additional fact that it would run
through perfect network OF railroads the en-
tire distance. As an independent road 1t could
hardly be expected to pay it's running expenses
and ordinary repairs, with but small prospect
for any return for the capital invested. IL il
were to be constructed by some other road al
an extension, or as feeder, the case would be
different In the latter case the people alons
the line could we'll afford TO Aid in its construc

two million dollars, or more. The estimate Ii
one million six hundred and torty-one thou

We are in favor OF any scheme OF internal
Improvement that will benefit this locality
provided 1t is practicable and can be carried
out. What the people OF this County want, i
not such long lines as shorter ones, just Ion,
enough to reach one or more OF the through
routes-say the Mich. Southern and Penn
Central-at the most convenient points, to en-
able passengers and freight TO be Transporter
East West or South. A railroad running
through this County from northwest to south
east and extended on TO Nlcksburg. in hala
mazoo county, would accomplish that object
and give the shipper the choice OF three grea
trunk roads. This would give all the advantage
of competition that would be gained by tn
longer line We are told that nothing can
expected from Schoolcraft, but we are Statistic
that liberal aid can be obtained on the Vcksbur
route. All that would be necessary to insur
such road would be the construction OF III
road-bed, ready for the iron; and one or tn
other of these roads would lay the IRON an
; operate it, furnishing all the rolling stock.
seems to us that this latter scheme will secul
to the people Of this vicinity all that the Toled
one will, and is within the reach Of tn o peopl
However. if the Toledo people shall wish
; push such enterprise to the Lake, our citlzeI
will undoubtedly lend their aid to the extel
that it will benefit them.
