Spring rains win come, but they are always

In another column Of our paper we
publish an article from the Baton
Rouge CApIToLIAN urging the neces-
sity Of a railroad to connect that city
with Ponchatoula. it is needless to
say that we endorse all that able ar
ticle contains, and would urge on all
our readers the necessity Of prompt,
immediate and energetic action in the
premises. 1t will certainly be Of i'm
mense benefit to Penchatoula, it Will
bring thousands of dollars worth OF
business to the place, it will enable
our citizens to build schools, factories,
ETC., it will increase the value of their
property two fold, and will start such
a boom of enterprise as was never be-
fSe known in the piney woods. Let
our merchants, saw-mill men, land
owners all be up and doing and never
cease until the road is completed
Ponchat0ula Gazette.
The above extract shows that the
hour is a propitious one to strike FOL
the rapid development Of the business
interests of Baton Rouge. The North'
ern markets are overfowing witheap'
ital seeking investment in legitimate
railway enterprises, and we hear O
successful negotiations of bonds OF
every side. flour citizens will CEASE
to be afraid of their shadows and g
TO work vigorously to take advantage
of the situation, we'll have a booming
city in less than two years.
BY all means let strong commit
tee, composed of active, intelhgen
and pushing men, be organized t
look after cur railroad interests an
the results that will be obtained vii
agreeably surprise the most hopeful
of our people.

4 RAILROAE REPORT.

In the Natchez Democrat of the
Goth ult., We find a detailed report Of
the operations of the Natclez, Jack
son and Columbus r. r. Company
during the year 1880. The road is
AZ miles in length, yet it transported
but 1858 bales of cotton. The total
receipts amounted to but gal 1856, from
freights, passengers, mails, etc. Still
all expenses were covered, including
the payment of interest on bonds, etc.
The directors consider the exhibit an
encouraging one and are moving ac-
lively to extend the road to Jackson.
Miss. The Port Hudson Railroad Of
g miles in length, carries, annually,
some IL, 600 bales of,cotton. Is it not
reasonable 10 suppose that the road
Of 80 miles between Clinton and Ba-
ton Rouge, 10 miles shorter than the
xatchez railway, alluded to, would at
least do as we'll as the one to Pert
Hudson We contend that the pro-
posed line to Clinton will be the best
paying road Gifts length in the South
Figures can easily demonstrate the
truthfulness of our assertion. There
is money to be made by any compa
nv that will engage in this enterprise
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-02-05

Speaking of the Railroad move
ments of the Baton Rougeans, the N.
0. Times, says:
"Thc parties directly interested in
its construction have not money
enough to carry out the project but
they are doing a great deal OF talk
ing about it and are exertlng them
selves to induce capitalists to turn
their attention towards it."
Will the Times be kind enough to
tell us where the money was obtained
to extend the Morgan Railroad to
Houston and to build the n. o. Pa
cifc. We have an idea that the peo-
ple of New Orleans construct their
railroads according to the Baton
Rouge method. It's the kettle call
ing the pot black.

PIE BATON ROUGE RAILROAD.

That vigorous and progressive jour
nal, the N. O. States, speaks encour-
sgingly of our railroad interests, in
the following terms: "It is CRAFTY
ing to see the lively interest the cih-
zens of Baton Rouge, now the capitai
of the State, are taking in the mat
ter of securing rail communication
with this city. Mayor Jastremski is
earnestly and zealously devotins his
energies and time to the promotion OF
this important work, and the columns
of the CAPIToL1AN attest his unremlt-
ting efforts in behalf of the welfare
and prosperity of the Highland City,.
ain a recent Interview with Mr.
Wheelock, President of the New Or
leans Pacific Railway, Mayor Jas
tremski learned from him that his
company had purchased the Donald
sonville road, which they intended to
extend along the west bank ofthe Miss
issippi to point back Of Bruly Land
ing in West Baton Rouge, from
whence the line would be continued
through Rosedale, Ion to Alexandra
aud Shreveport. Opposite tho city OF
Baton Rouge, a branch would be con-
strncted, whose terminus, for the
present would be located at tho Ba-
ton Rouge ferry landing. That Ba-
ton Rouge cars would be attached to
every train on the main line, which
would be met at the junction by a
locomotive that would convey these
oars to and from the river terminus
He stated further, in the event that
the directors of the Clinton and Port
Hudson Railway, or those OF the
Crosse Tete Railroad, should conclude
TO build a line from Clinton to Baton
Rouge, then the Pacific company
would feel justified in atfording the
greater facility of locating their depot
in the city of Baton Rouge, and by 8
transfer boat, carry the trains bach
and forth across the Mississippi.
'In case Of the unwillingness Of thu
Directors OF the other roads to bullt
the Clinton connection, Mr.. Wheelocl
suggested to Mayor Jastremski tina
..+the citizens should organize a compa
ny having that object in view, and al
80 said that if the towns aud citizen
interested, would give such facilitle
and lands as they could afford to OF
fer, he mad no doubt that upon sue
an exhibit, coupled with reliable est
mates of the probable business tina
the line would command, no troubl
would be experienced in placing tn
requisite amount Of frst-mortgag
bonds.
with such an encouraging and fa
vorable offer, the people of Bato
Rouge should forthwith begin the o.
ganization ofa Baton Rouge railroa
company, with the view of securin
the early construction of a road TIL
will place that town in communlc'
ton with every part of the country
