the highest respect Of all by the able
and unbiased manner in which they
performed their several duties. The

the experience of their worthy prede-

made things tell. Our brave editors

during the last three months there has

our neighborhood such as was never
before known here. The confidence
and affection that has been manifested
towards one another is beyond ex-

Tionesta to Bradford.


The Derrick has hit the nail square
on the head at last. There has been
much talk and some active steps taken,
within the past few days, both in Ii
tusville and Warren, regarding the
building Of a narrow gauge railroad
to Bradford. Prominent men in both
these places all agree that road from
the lower oil country direct to Brad
ford would be big paying institution,
but, knowing that it takes cash to
carry scheme Of this kind through,
they seem a little backward about
taking hold and rushing it on. The
Derrick of Monday has an article
WHICH will be read with interest by
our citizens, and we would say to them
to give the project all possible encour-
agement, as the benefits which our
county would derive from it may be
very plainly seen. After showing that
the narrow guage roads which have
been built through the oil regions
have proven most successful invest
ments, the Derrick says:
"There is chance at present for
the people of Oil Cny, and that chance
lies in favoring the building Of road
from Tionesta to Bradford. There are
many reasons why the former place
should be one terminus of the road.
Que is that it would make the shortest
possible route, from the lower oil
country to the upper, which is one of
the principal purposes for building
such road. 1t would also open up
the extensive mining and lumber ter
ritory of Forest county, bringing to
Oil City the products Of this now un-
known country. The travel and trade,
so long as Bradford lasts, will be prin-
cipally between Oil City and that
point, even that from the lower oil
country passing through here. AS it
is now people are obliged to travel
nearly $50 miles, loss Of time and
money, which makes the trip very
expensive. With the railroad from
Tionesta, or from Oil City to Brad
ford, over one-half the distance would
be cut off. Oil City is only sixty miles
from Bradford ia straight line, and
Tionesta only forty five. The exten'
sion of the Erie road would make a
good connection, so that the building
of only forty miles ofroad would prob
ably be necessary. We might also
mention here that there is plobabil
ity of the oil belt extending south
west along the proposed route of the
new road, and it would therefore be
"on hand" when new fields were
opened.
This is really the only sensible route
for a road to the northern~ oil fields
Travellers do not wish to 60 around by
Warren or Titusville to get there, and
the road would draw the eutire busi
ness of the oil country to and fro
: Capitalists who want good invest
ment for their money could not dc
better than look into this scheme, fol
with the precedents in the life of Other
narrow.guages, this road could not bC
other than paying institution"
