THE JAY COOKE 1s0THERMAL ROAD.

The Cincinnati Commercial has done ~
ing and railing enough i'll times past about
the Northern Pacific railroad, it lies were
ties and railing were rails to build a rail
road across the continent of every parallel
of latitude from the Gulf Of Mexico to the
Arctic circle. And still it is not satisfied. 1t
now says: .-. .n
The Northern Pacific railroad is a great
fraud. X X Y Does the editor of Ar-
alanche suppose that the Jay Cooke isother-
ma road was any benefit To the people of
the North: Ii he does, he is mistaken.
The editor of the Cincinnati Commercial
does not seem to know that the Northern
Pacific railroad has survived his ridicule and
falsehoods that over 400 miles OF this rail-
road have been constructed and have been
for years In operation from Duluth to the
Missouri river, trayersing II of the richest
and most productive wheat districts Oh the
globe that it forms fhe main outlet and
adit Of the Canadian province of Manitoba,
and the continuous districts of British Amer
lea, with which it is connected by rail and
river, and is shortly to be connected by a
continuous line of rail that it has contrib
uted very largely to the settlement and de-
velopment of the fertile wheat acres of the
Red river valley and northern Dakota,
where on one farm alone 5000 0 bushels of
wheat were raised this year; that it is the
main avenue OF communication with the
gold fields of the Black Hills, and with the
military posts on the Missouri and the Vel
loWstone nearly all OF whose supplies reach
them by this channel that the net earnings
OF the Minnesota and Dakota division for
the year ending August 31st, 1877, were
nearly 500, 900 and will probably reach
S6OO,OOO next year, SO rapid is the Increase
OF its trade; altogether next month when
the Brainerd branch, connecting it more di-
rectly with St. Paul, will be completed it
will have constructed and in operation $50
miles OF road, including its Pacific division.
Perhaps the editor Of the Commercial, who
is condemned by his geographical situation
to a sluggish rural isolation from the great
currents of colonization and commercial ac-
tlvlty which are pressing westward across
the great northern zone of wheat. may think
the Northern Pacific OF no benefit because
1t Is beyond the verge of his little local hor-
i2on and does no pay tribute of pork and
whisky to Cincinnati; but we who live

The only hope cur people have for the

figures on this subject. In Yves, Virginia,
between Pennsboro and Huntsville, there is
a line OF marrow gu3ge railrosd 81 miles in
length: Some OF its grades are 500 aud $50
feet 10 the mile, and some of its curves are

mile, including rolling stock. The running
expenses are $50 per day. The successful
experience Of this road proves that light,
narrow gauge road is within the means OF
almost any town, AID offers q means Of
transportation cheaper and better even than
wagon-roads, with this advantage; that they
are not blocked by mud and snow at 8 sea-
son Of the year when the freight business

for the people of Marysville and those liv-

road OF this kind from this place down the
Blue Valley to Blue Rapids, and from
thence TO Manhattan. The graded road

-Four Men Arrested ard Accused OF

Thievery.

Curing the past four years there has
been throughout this and other counties
systematic operation in horse flesh. which
has baffied the attempts OF all who have
endeayored TO trap the thieves, or even
trace up the stolen property. A vigilance
committee was at one time organized IN
this county, and it was for time thought
they would prove successful in the pro;ec-
ton of property, but their efforts proved
unsuccessful, and the losses OF horses still
continued 10 harass those who owned val
liable animals. The committee was finally
disbanded, and the work put into the hands
Cf the Missouri Valley detective agency,
with all the facts and points pertaining to
it. For some time it was uphill work, but

am certain that there will be no trouble at
all in getting three thousand dollars in

A TO the paying probability OF the road
between Leavenwo,th ard Topeka, there
can be no shadow Of doubt; But will it
pay TO run it further southwest? 1t most
assuredly will. The grain and stock alone
would pay fair per cent, besides i. would
be the most direct line for all immigrants
and explorers seeking homes and fortunes
in 'the fax West" Then again, persons
going East, instead Of going round By En-
poria or Junction City would, of course.
take this lire every time.
In the tLirl place, it will pay, because it
will touch some OF the finest stone uuarries
in the State. At Mission creek, twenty
miles West OF Topeka, there is an inex-
haUstab!e quarry OF to l I inches in stone,
which excelis the far-iamed DAYTON quar-
~ in Ohio. Mr.. J. +. Dodds, who, for
many years, controlled the Dayton quarry,
says that the Mission creek quarry, Of It's
kind OF stone, cannot, for purity, be ex-
eelled in the world" This stone may be
seen in all the finest ard best buildings in
Topeka. Although it costs fifty cents per
foot TO get it hauled, yet no one thinks OF
putting up irst-class work without it.
Messrs. Giles and Jewell paid fifty dol
lars Tor one stone laid down in front OF their
