From July lst, 1880, until | June 30th, of the present year, new postal sorvice was placed on 3,0 miles of new rond, and it is estimated that between October 18th of this year and June 30th of next year there will be an addition of 5,000 miles cf new postal railway service.

Trish, chief of the Bureau of Engraving and printing in tho treasury dejartmont at Washing: ton. The report presents tables and schedules of expenditures and work performed by the department for the fiscal year ending Juno 50, 1881, Dur ing this period the ngaregate expen- dituros woro $901,165.26 of which nearly $630,000 were for labor. The immense amount of work done by the bureau under Col, Trish's efficient su- pervision may bo seen from the state- ment that th delivered 7,174,761 sheets of notes were comploted and and securities of the face value of §1,- 08 708,970; 18,170,603 sheets of ternal revenue and customs stamps, containing 684,450,615 stamps; and 682,539 sheots of checks, drafts, &o., for the treasurer of the United States and disbursing officers of the several departments, besides # large amount of miscellaneous work, including | LENTINE 1WATER LINES AND RAIL- M | WAYS cond report issued by the Tirr: Omania Bee is given to speak ssman Valentine as a n ability, and at antly assert man of very ordinary [ hureau of statistics, Mr. Joseph Nim i he time 1t 18 o« TERMS 1Y M/ ing Aaily, L Bt hio is a monopolist, and was mo continues Ins discussion of the L.810 E ol iy the Union Pacific and | railr i problem by an examination of o v 4 ! jo & Missouri companies 1| ghe competition between the water 0| Chrea Monthe 800 | roprosent their interests in COEIOss: | ey and the railways.

This tho people. very lowering of rates was caused by competition among the trunk lines for freights which at higher rates by rail would have sought theoutlet of the lakes and canal to the seaboard and w . itself the direct result of that water competition which Mr. Nimmo sets out to depreciate. To the open lakes and the Erie canal, alone, ship- pers of gocds to the east of Chicago owe the fact that railroad tariffs are lower than in other sections ot the How strong this regulating intluence 18, can be seen from the fact that the close of navigation cach year is followed by an immeeiate rise in rates by rail or eastward bound freight. Valontine was posing on the bench when Congressman Welch died sud- denly. The republican state conven- tion was called for thrce weeks later and the Union Pacific managers were sorely distressed for want of an availa- ble candidate that could beat Judge Crounse. A counsel of the monopoly managers was held and the choice fell upon Val- Ten days before the con- vention met General Manager Clark of the Union Pacific, let a prominent Omaha merchant, then a delegate to to the republican convention, into the secrot, by informing him that the Un- ion Pacific had decided to support Valentine, as their most available man. Valentine’s location near the home of Welch, his prominence at that juncture in the Masonic order, and his willingness to serve the mon- opoly, were the points urged in his fa- vor. When the convendon met the supporters of Crouse were in the ma- country. Mr. Nimmo's argument on the small extent of our inland water routes is oqually untenable. No country in the world possesses such a mag ificent basis for internal transportation by water. Nearly every state in our great producing sections is traversed by streams which can casily be made avigable or washed by the waters of jority, but a sufliciont number|&" at lakes alrendy highways of trans- T ematen ware bought |portation. The Hudson, Ohio, Mis- then and there by mionopoly hench. | Bissipply Missouri and Columbia with their tributaries furnish a net work of streams available for transportation purposes. 1t is not necessary for the relief of this country, as Mr. Nimmo would have us believe, that a river should run by every farm house in order to afford a general competition. An improvement of the existing water ways would itself engender such a competition for tra men and by keeping Blanchard, who was put forward as®a dummy by the U. P. managers, in the field, Valentine was finally nominated, not, however, without first making terms with the B. & M.

WESTERN RAILROAD FRO- GRESS, The continued favorable weather, though severe betimes, has not mate- rially retarded railroad w in Ne- braska. The work of grading is ren- dered diflicult by the frozen condition of the ground, but the pick and shovel brigades are so far ahead of the iron layers on all new lines that they can maintain their lead for some time to come. The contractors of the northern end of the Missouri Pacific have completed the grade from the junction with the Union Pacific, four miles beyond Pa- pillion, to the Platte river opposite Louisville. The entire force have crossed the river and are now pushing southward. Track-laying hasnot yet commenced. The bridge over the Platte at this point is approaching completion. Most of the work is done at Papillion, and from there taken by wagons to the river. Farmers in the vicinity do the bulk of this labor with their teams. The new town of Springfield is located opposite Louis- ville, on an elevated plateau overlook- ing the Platte bottoms. Ten houses have already been built and a lumber yard cpened. The activity in this town has resurrected Sarpy Center, a fow wealthy land owners in the vi- cinity being determined to compete with Springtield. The accumulation of iron and ties at Atchison is enor- mous, 756 car loads up to the 15th, These supplies are being pushed to the front as rapidly as engines can be had. Notwithstanding all denials to the contrary, the ghost of the Central Pacific's eastern extension will not down. Surveying parties have ex- amined the country for a distance of4 560 miles west of the Missouri river. The editor of the Kunox Connty News recently interviewed the sur- veyor-in-chicf, Mr, Warner, licutenanis, who returned to Niobrara nd his on the 16th, Mr. Warner stated, with considerable emphasis, that the road would be built. He had been in the field six months and found the bost route ever surveyed by a western railroad company. Warner is credited with being good authority as he is Huntington’s head man and confiden- gial friend. He puts no faith in re- ports of compromises for the @ that the company has already expend- od thousands of dollars in mak- survey besides pur- on ing the chasing all the iron for its 700 miles of road., The pro- posed route is from the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains to the head wa- tors of the Niobrara, thence east to Keya Paha, and then south to Nio- brara, where the bridge will span the Missouri. ‘The route from this point to Yankton is through an open prairie.
