NORTHW EST RAILROAD.
The Several Routes Examined, and
their Merits and Demerits ex-
emplified.

EDITOR PREss--Much has been said and
written about the most practical route for a
road from Fayetteville south; wish to be
heard on this subject. am interested. There
are three routes proposed, one from Fayette-
Vile to Alma. The company proposing to
build this are ALI Wilson, jim Pettigrew,
Elias Moore and five others. The next is
from Fayetteville to Prairie Grove. thence
on an air line via. Boonsboro and Cove Greek
to Van Bulen. This route is to be built by a
company of landowners, who have already
voted five per cent. on their estates-an
amount sufficient, with the land grant, to
build the road, or, If it should lack a few dol =
lars then --- proposes TO make it up.
This is the route am for, and will christen
it the Prairie Grove even grade route. The
thirti route is from Fayetteville, by Cane Hill,
dow n the Barron Fork, through the Chero-
kee Nation to Fort Smith. This road is to be
built by company of miners on the Barron
Fork. for transporting their lead.
Now these roads can't all be built, for the
simple reason it would be monopolizing all
the railroads in Northwest Arkansas and the
spirit of our constitution Is against monopo-
lies. And the vexed and perplexing ques-
ton is which shall be built9 Now, let us
reason on the subject, fairly and squarcly'
making the greatest good to the most people
the pivot of observation. To do this, | will
examine the claims of the several routes Sc
riatum.
The most pnngent argument put forth by
the Alma company, Is their tunnell through
Boston Mountain, the prestige it would give,
&c. Well AS an Arkansian, swell a little on
that myself. But the misfortune is it is too
short. 1t wanes before the great Italian,
Cumberland Mountain or Bunker Hin tun-
nels. And the company has greatly weaken
ed since their survey. They had hopes of
something better. They adopted the report
of Major Davidson, because he made its
length one foot and half further than Capt.
Gates. But they were terribly dissatisfied
with both, and ALI. Wilson, with much
warmth. declared, in open council, that du-
ring our late animadversion, he spent several
months in that locality, and made the survey
OF the mountains, with view to his present
purpose, and that if in six weeks, he did not
show them drawings that would give them
tunnel three-quarters of a mile long, sur
passing that Of Bunker IIill, and taking third
rank in the tunnell history of the world. he
woald build the road himself [sensation.)
| Another argument Is that that route will be
more eeonomital-that It will not simi cate n
single good farm in the whole distance. Far
otherwise II It passes through this valley.
They claim. again. that where the right of
way Is denied them, that they can buy at
twenty five cents per acre. where. il it passes
through here. they would have to give one
dollar and quarter. what our lands cost us
when they were new. And, as an opiate to
as, they say, Oh, we wish to visit your place
early in the spring, and breathe the sweet
fragrance of your sweet blossoms or when

Tie Contractors and Railroad Lands.

Complaints are made almost every
day, at Vau Buren, of men cutting ties,
depredatng on private lands. The tic
contractors claim the right to eut ties on
any and all lands sold by the State. Uni
ted States, or railroad company, since
1853. This is not so. They have no
such right, and the people interested
should know it. They have no right to
cut ties or timber on any land that does
not, at Tie time, belong to the Railroad
company, the United States, or the State.
Parties interested are referred to Sec. /,
1885, Gantt's Digest, and if these men
persist in cutting timber from their lands,
they can see their remedy. Don't wait
for civil suit, but have them arrested al
once.
