COLUMBIA COUNTY.
ItAlIi llOAD UOUTllS.
Tho lmnortanco of tho Rail Roads
now building, and projected in Colum
bia and tho odjolnlng counties on the
North, their ltiilucncoon tho ruturo oi
tlio county, tho rich mineral and vast
lumber region that will bo developed
by them, is very llttlo understood by
many of tlio peoplo of this County.
Even somo of our ilrst business men
have but im imperfect Idea of tho ad
vantages to bo derived from them gen
erally, and to our iron manufactories In
particular. Having beeomo familiar
with tlio region to bo developed, nnd
with tho Rail Road communication
now being established ; I will endeavor
to glvo fcomo Information to your read
ers with regard to them.
Tlio region to bo developed lies in
portions of Columbia, Sullivan, Wyo
ming and Luzerno counties situated
midway between tho North nnd West
branches of tho Susquehanna ; surroun
ded on nil sides by a thickly settled re
gion, nnd by lines of connection both
by Rail Road and Canal. It has been
known only to a few, and thoso few,
tho hunters and anglers who resort to it
annually for the speckled beauties to bo
found in its pure mountain streams, and
to hunt tho red deer In Its deep ami
magnificent forests. To a still fewer
number has the 'fact been known that
this is ono of tho richest mineral regions
n tho Stato; und presenting also extra
ordinary inducements to the lumber
man and tho farmer. But tho few to
horn theso facts wcro known, years
ago realized tlio advantages to bo de
rived from tho developments of this re'
gion ; and railroad routes were survey.
cd from Bloomsburg nnd Shickshlnny
on tlio North branch, to tlio head wit
ters of Towauda creek, In 1858 or '50.
Tho routo from Bloomsburg up Big
; ishing crock was found to be tho most
ractlcablc, and tho North Mountain
was crossed witli a grado of eighty to
inety feet to the mile. Then, if there
had been any energy displayed by the
people of Columbia County, and tlio re
luircd assistance reudcrcd ; tho outlet
for tho minerals, lumber etc., of that re
gion would havo traversed tlio centre
f tlio county ; and tho magnificent wa
tor power of Big Fishing creek would
have been taken advantage of and its
banks dotted with furnaces and other
manufactories, making of its present
secluded villages largo and prosperous
towns, opening nn excellent homo mar
ket for tho produco of tho county, and
resulting in great advantages to tho
peoplo of tho county in ovcry way. But
by the singular lethargy and blindnc:
of our people, this rich chance lias cs
caped them and tho outlet has been di
verted into an entirely different cliaiv
ncl.
Itisstlll.possiblo to build this road
if tho proper effort was made. A road
of twenty-eight to thirty miles
length would connect with tlio tcrmi
nus of tlio road now being built from
Townnda, southward, and among Its
other advantages, would be much tlio
shortest routo North and North-west,
Tho discovery of largo deposits of
coal and iron ore, aroused tlio enter,
prising peoplo of tho ndjoiningcountie
on tlio North anil North-west, to the
importance of opening up that region
and a continuous railroad from tho
North to tlio West Branch of the Sus
qiichanua, running through tho heart
of tho coal, iron and lumber region of
Sullivan County, is now a fixed and
nearly an accomplished fact. The Road
from Towauda to tho Loyalsock,
contracted for to bo in running order by
tho first of September 1807 ; and of tho
Muncy Creek railroad running up Bi
Muncy creek to tlio Loyalsock, nearly
ono half Is already graded, tlio tie
and rails nro on tho ground, and
it will bo rapidly laid for tho di;
taueo graded. This road will probably
bo completed within a year. Ono of
tlio best vouchers for Its speedy complc
tion, is the fact that it has for its Pre;
dent a man of tho greatest energy and
determination, and to wlioso indefati
gable efforts, aud great enterprise, we
tiro mainly indebted for tho develop
ment of that region.
Tho terminus of tho Townnda and
Muncy Creek roads will connect at tho
coal openings on tho Loyalsock. Tho
original intention was to havo had the
Muncy Creek railroad strike tlio Phila
delphia nml Erio railroad at Muncy.
But to induco tlio Atlantic ami Great
Western, tho lessees of tho Catawissa
railroad, to build a road from Rupert
Station to Hughesville, they changed
tlio direction of tho lower end of the
road, and it now runs from Hughcsvillo
up tho river to Wllliamsport. Tlio road
from Rupert to Hughcsvillo would run
up Llttlo Fishing creek, and tints tra
verse a largo portion of Columbia coun
ty. I have been Informed by good au
thority that tills road will undoubtedly
bo built, probably within a year or two.
This road, when built, will enablo tho
Iron men of Columbia and Montour
Counties, who nro rapidly exhausting
tlio ores in their immcdiato vicinity,
to obtain tlio Iron ores from Sullivan
County by a comparatively short route.
1 may in a future articlo speak of tho
geology und topography of that region,
of Us minerals and its lumber, its agri
cultural facilities and romantic scenery.
TIIE RED CEDAR.
Juittpcrus Vlrgtnhma, or tho Virginia
Juniper, Is found abundantly in tho
ioutlicrn counties of Pennsylvania, nut
seldom In our northern ones. In this
county there nro trees near tlio mouth of
Roaring crock, nnd also upon tno norm-
crn bank of Fishing creek, on the farm
of Rev. D. J. Waller, two miles from
llloomsburir. It does not seem to grow
as finely hero, in natlvo situations, as It
docs farther South, und we havo noticed
peclmens In Clinton County which
arlv appeared to be degenerated, m no
Red Cedar (which, it will bo observed,
a truo species of Juniper)' nttains n
height of forty feet with a dlamntcr of
ono to ono nnd a half feet, and lias a
Ido distribution In tho United Stntes.
It is however found mainly nnd in great
est perfection near tho Atlantic coast and
south of Now York.
The nnmo of Red Cedar lias reference
to tho heart wood of this tree, which is
of a beautiful red, while the sflp wood
perfectly white. It is very strong and
durable and admirably fitted for subter
ranean water pipes and other uses re
quiring great resistance to Influences of
decay. It is used in ship-building for
posts, and for various purposes in inc-
chanics. Pails, casks and stop-cocKs nro
manufactured from It. It is also used
n tlio manufacture of black lead pencils
It makes ndmirablo fuel nnd would bo
largely used in tho construction of build
ings If it were moro abundant and cheap.
Tlio Red Cedar llowcrs hi May and ri
pens Its fruit in October. Tho berry is
dark blue, and covered with a white
resinous meal. Tho male and fcmnlo
llowcrs aro small, not conspicuous, and
nro homo separately on the same or on
different trees.
Tho Red Cedar varies exceedingly
from seed. Somo plants are low and
prcading, while others are tall and fas-
tigaite. Tho foliage in somo is ofa very
light huo; in others it is glaucous, and
in some a very dark green. As an orna.
mental tree, or largo shrub, it is highly
valued, either for planting singly on
awns or In groups along with other
trees nnd shrubs. It is not, however,
well adapted for hedging.
In our section this tree is almost in.
variably found in rocky and exposed
situations and is nowhere abundant,
Liko tlio Black Spruce it appears unablo
to bear tho competition of moro vigor
ous plants better suited to ordinary sit
uatlons. It therefore takes refuge in
particular locations where it is not ox
posed to competition, us tho Biacl
Spruco takes refuge In swamps, But
its capacity for growth in stcrill soil and
exposed places, fits it for planting as a
wind-breaker whero other plants will
not flourish. It is ono of tho longest
lived evergreens, enduring for a liun
dred years, and is comparatively free
from the attacks of insects. It is onf of
the favorite trees for planting along av
cnucs and in cemeteries.
