The BURLINGTON LING.

From Pete Larson, the Well-knOWn rail-
road conductor, who walked over the whole
surveyed line of the Burlington route from
St. Paul to La Crosse. the GLOBE CLEANS
some interesting facts about the character
of the work to be done under Contractor
Shepherds directions. The Dayton bluff
work will be to cut down to the level Of the
Milwaukee tracks and parallel with them.
On this side it will be soft sandrock and
may be bored for blasts with the augur. but
on the other side is a subStratum of lime
stone which may require the use of the
drill. The waste from this work can be
utilized for filling in the low ground east OF
the sand cut. The next most tedious work
viii be struck along the shores OF Lake
Pepin. where the bluffs are likely to slough
off and slide down to the rOad-bed until
sloped down beyond the track line. But
nothing will stay the progress of the work.
Ii viii undoubtedly be completed under the
terms, and within the limitation Of time
specified in the contract.
Asked if it was true that Mr.. Shepherd
had been offered a bonus for the completion
OF the line to the crossing of the st. CroiX
Dy Oct. l, Mr.. Larson said he didn't know
ahyChmg about it, but had heard something
10 mat effect; Yet he and other contractors
VINO were with linn could not understand
why there should be any special reason to
push THIS part Of the work unless it had
something TO do with
BRIDGING THE ST. GROIN.
And as 10 getting material on the ground
for that work, they rather entertained the
theory that the iron, perhaps. not the timber.
would be brought up the river by boat from
the crossing Oh tDe Bmlington's own line.
The question Of the line of location as to
ingress into the city of st. Paul coming nm
S. L. Shields insisted that the line when
finally located, would come in by the fish
hatchery 10 connection with the Wiscon-
sin Central or the Manitoba. This he
thought the more feasible way, and bv far
the better Snd cheaper route. There was
quite discussion ON this point. but Mr.
Shields insisted that his position was the
tenable one regardless of the specific report
that the line had been permanently located
along the bluff. Quite a number of con-
tractors are now in the city with view to
taking sections OF Mr.. Shepherds 200 miles

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.-The stimulus of
the recent break in rates accounts for the
increase in east-bound shipments noticed in
the movement for the week. All the grain
and provisions that were secured at the
reduction appear in this week
table and amount to about 600
tons. The aggregate, even in the total,
is not enough to indicate that the move
ment had begun that course from natural
causes. or one that will continue. About
all of the grain that has been carried during
the past thirty days was to meet the steady
ronsumDtion at interior points. But export
business has been nothing, SO far
as all-rail shipments was concerned.
Provisions participated in the increase.
about 1000 tons more having
been carried. and two lines receiving the
additional tonnage. Those posted claim
that this was taken at ~ cent rate, and
that contracts were made for it up to as
late as Wednesday last, or three
days after the tariff was sup
posed to be restored. The week
has been an uneventful one in
freight circles. The restored tariff went
into effect Monday last, and the roads are
supposed 10 be running under it. There was
an increase in east-bound shipments Of
grain -four and provisions of 12.5S9 tons.
OF this, the fact appears that the three Van
derbiit roads took out exactly 80 per cent,
an increase of SD per cent. over the
previous we k: the Pennsylvania lines

The st. Paml's Kansas City Line.


MILWAUKEE, Wis. Aug. 22.-President
Mitchell said to-day, in regard to the extern
sion OF the st. Paul system in the direction
of Kansas City, that the matter had been
considered by the directors, but had not
been decided ON yet. Assistant Chief En-
gineer Kmball had gone to Ottumwa, and
among other things, would run a line TO
Kansas City. From the tone of
Mr.. Mitchelrs speech. it was inferred
that the new line is way up among the
probabilities. although the management do
not, as yer, care to talk much about it. The
move was fayorite project with General
Manager Merrill when he was alive. The
scheme was at that time thought inadvis-
able. 1t was held in allegiance, however,
waiting the proper opportunity for adyanc-
ing the st. Paul system southwest. That
time seems now to have arrived in the opin-
ion Of the management.

To the Editor Of tho "St. Croir Avis"
Sir,
Your reprint of Messrs. Park Macfadyen
& Co.'s Memorandum in your issue OF yes
terday is both interesting and instructive.
The writers sum up by saying that the
area of beet cultivation i'll Germany VIII
he restricted until prices in London have
risen to Is to IL shillings per cwt. and that
this price will give the Beet Factories a
profit on their outlay of 10 to 150 10, ana
may therefore be considered as the perma-
nent sugar price ofthe future.
Such a price is equivalent to a local price
for st. Croix sugar of $3 per 100 lbs. or $40
per hid. as against $50 per hid, the ruling
price for many years past.
Our Planters have now apparently got
before them what they have to do, viz: to
grow sugar at a profit at $40 per hhd., the
market price for Rum and Molasses being
equally depressed. That this can be lone
by more unity and federation amongst'the
Planters. and by the exercise Of the latest
impro vement in Agriculture and Manu-
facture, there is not much doubt, if Proyl-
dence at the same time favours us with
kindly seasons; but that this wsH be done
is a sshorse of another color altogether"
yours faithfully

My dear Mr.. Editor,
I am not a meddlesome body, but permit
me to say in a part of your valuable columns
I am happy to see that PRO BONO
PUBLICO has taken due notice of the
awful state in which our Public Roads
are now kept. In Mr.. Frank Newton's
time such never existed, as I believe there
was a machine for crushing all large stones.
On Sunday, being free from duty, I thought
to enjoy a drive with a friend, when to our
discomfort the immense large stones kept
us in a continual jerk till we happily ar
rived home. I think it just that some
measures should be taken to have the
roads q trife smoother.
