Te Colorado, 'S'rt Antoriu, and llio

pnfeiablc to tliu above. It is ininolitic for
tho Legislature to attempt lo define the
route whiclthn road should take. Tin
rumor hn readied iiahtic, that our Senn
tor, llio IJori. C, C. Huiberl, was heard to'
si&io.tlnil Kiiyelto county did tol care for
tho road, and ttnufd jiot object to its local-
ity as Jow as Columbus, Wo aro tinwil-
re, however, to credit tho rumor. For
certainly our Senator would not thus rep
nesent us withoiit first informing himself
as to the feeling of the county tin tlm sub-
ji cl And bud ho thus informed himself,
he could not Imio tnudu such a statement,
for thero will bn scartely a proposition bo

In wbirhih noipte o( Fiiyuu will bo more

wjiich they will fi-cl a gtcuter concern.
Wo nn therefore dinposed to discredit

Wu might with riual propiiet.) nsk that
