lib. KEEP AND A1LwAUKEE.
Amoyement is on foot to have Mr. Keep, O,
The Northwestern Railroad, invited to this city
to confer with leading businessmen as to the
relations Of tho road with Milwaukee It is
said, On good authority, that Mr.. Keep. in can-
wasting the s,tuation, expressed the conviction
thst Milwaukee, as bnsiness centre, had for
long tina past been actuated by feeling OF
hostility towards tho Northwestern Road, and
given thss as one reason Why tho Lodi e1teu-
ion 80 important to the business OF this Sec
lion OF country, had never been built BY the
Company. look for denial Of this story, as q
matter Of coutse; but am convinced Of its truth.
It is necessary that euch 4 false impression
lhonld be removed; snd the general opinion is
that II Ill. Keep aud the Chamber OF Commerce
men were to come together for little pow-wow,
abetter understanding would soon prevail The
matter is being canyassed in the right quarters,
Ind Nd doubt move will soon be made.
GRAND HAVEN,
Navigation between Milwaukee and Grand
Haven is practically open from years end to
years end Ice il less an obstruction than
miserable aand-bar, and the miesahle sand-bar
Is kept nader subsection By powerful steam
tug. the 1esiathan. chartered for the purpose,
that maintains clear channel bE an immense
screw. Other lake routes are closed eix mouths
cat OF the twelve, and railroad transportation
dsindles away during tue winter season under
the influence Of the prevailing dullness and the
burden Of p1ohpitive rates. bnt the watesy high
NAT between Milwaukee and Grand Haven is
tn7e1sed night and day BY huge propellers. and
The trade goes on increasing and expanding till
there seems rs though there Was no limit to it,
Tbs remarkable prosperity of this line. and the
Importance Of Grand Haven to the system Of
railroads the other side OF the lake, are such as
to have attracted general attention, and any
number Of eche1nes are on foot to utilize this
route Among other ideas in vue or floating
trans ct cars. It is argued that it such trains
eau be carried in safety across the Hudson,
which ia 1t all times sufficiently stormy. IN
mere she'll, there can be no good reason why 9
stout. powerful eam-barge, properly construct
ed and trimmed. should uot With equal speed
and safety croes the lake. Some such plan is
talked Of in connection with this new ronse they
nc proposing from Rockford to Milmankee.
