steam power is used-and the list is certain
~ creditable for SO young city-but there
are many other pursuits which might be es-
tablished among US with every assurance Of
success, and in which steam might be used
as cheap and efficient agent.-Burlington

Burlington is the oldest city in the State
and numbers almost twice as many years as
Davenport. Let us see how we compare
The present steam factories of Davenport
may be summed up as follows:-Two -four
ing mills, six saw miils.-lny one of FIVE O.
which, we are assured by disintereste'
gentleman who knows, is capable of turn
ing out more lumber than all those Of Bur

most extensive establishment on the Mssis

one shiDgle and one sash factory. For Sc

more creditable than that Of the Telegraph.
In this connection we would remark brief
