On Monday last delegation Was in tow n
from Buchanan, Berrisn county. Their mission
was to examine our Narrow Gauge railroad,
with q view to acquire some knowledge Of its
cheaper cost, advantages and utility. The Blu
chananites are anxious for an outlet other tina,
by the Michigan Central, which they now have.
They want q connection with lake navigation
as competing route for freight sent out and
received. To this end they are contemplating
the construction Of a cheap railroad to st. Jo-
seph. The distance Is much greater than to
the Lake Shore road, some seven or eight miles
to the south of their village, connection with
which they already have by way OF Niles. In
years past, when the st. Joseph river was nav
gsble by steamboats,, 1T will be remembered
that Niles and Buchanan had lower railroad
rates than at any time since the river carrying
trade was abandoned. They now propose to
reach the lake by small railroad.
We will say in this connection that the ex-
tension Of our little railroad to the lake, either
at st. Joseph or South Haven (the latter is our
choice), would be en- improvement in the
right direction, and would save to the people
many thousand dollars annually in reduced
freghts.
