Another Railroad.


The Burlington papers are urging
the importance of building Railroad
from that place via Mt. Pleasant, Fair
field and O,iumwa to the Missouri Riv-
er. By an article from the HasCk- Eye,
which will be found in another column,
il will be seen that by far the most diff
cul, part Of the route has been examin-
ed by competent Engineer, and pro-
nounced very favorable for railroad.
1, has always been our belief that a
Railroad would be built on this route long
before many Of the contemplated roads
running parallel with navigable streams.
Let the reader but examine the map and
he will be satisfied, beyond doubt, that
this route possesses advantages that no
other route has. Forming junction
with the Peoria and Burlington road
which will be finished in two years.,
would pass through the counties of Des
Moines, Henry, Jefferson, Wapello,
Monroe, Lucas, Clark, Union. Adams,
Montgomery, Mills, and Pottawattanie;
embracing one of the best bodies OF
lands in the State. In point Of popula-
lalion this route viii compare favorably
with any other, il it is no. greater than
on any other route now proposed. The
twelve counties named have a population
Of at least sixty thousand, or more than
one fourth of the population of the
whole State.
From Ottumwa 10 Council Bluffs the
distance, las measured by w. s. Towns
bend, who laid out State Road on this
route is 2l2a miles. This would
make the contemplated road two hun
dred and ninety two and half miles in
length. After leaving Ottumwa, there
is not an easier grade in the world, it
being an almos. continuous "diyide," or
level ridge. the whole distance.
The Hank Eye says tina. memoir
al 10 Congress has been circulated in
.ihat vicinity for a grant Of land to aid in
the construction Of this road. has been
numerously signed, and will be forward.
ed to Congress for its action at an early
day; with the firm belief that it will Sc.
cure the respectful consideration of that
body, in connection with other applica-
tons for grants of lands to aid in the
construction Of similar works of inter-
nal improvement in our State, and other
parts Of the West.
Why, friend Pierson, have you not
given US sight at that memorial. that
we might add The name of every man in
this section Of country! We are all
"in for il, and although we do not talk
about such things for "buncombe," we
will. when necessary take ''a lion's
share" of the work upon ourselves
II Onumwa. or Wapello county, is '.in
the bill" it will be all right. But we do
not think our Burlington friends ought to
be SO selfish, when they know that the
ienizens up this way have always been
in favor Of this project-are fully i'm
pressed with its importance, and will lose
no opportunity of promoting its advance
ment.
