Iowa City has improved much the past
season. Great preparation is making in
every part Of the place to give it grand
start early in the spring. The temporary
stoppsge of the Railroad has served in some
measure to dampen enterprise within her
borders; scarcity of lumber and very high
prices for building materials of every kind
retards her progress not little. The in
domitable enterprise and industry so proven
hal to her people will soon overcome all
those temporary difficulties andshe will ere
long stand forth the Queen city Of the prai-
ries. The greatest misfortune can now see
attending the comfort of visitors to this
Mace il a most criminal lack of comfortable
hotels. The Park House, the largest in the
place, il quite small. A dozen such at this
time would not make the present sojourners
In the city comfortable. This house under
the mild guidance ofits estimable proprietor,
Mr.. Tucker, is indeed an asylum to the
swarminr multitude who now inhabit it. To
eli, Mr.. Tucker is exceedingly pleasant, and
does all it is possible for him to do to make
his visitors comfortable. The citizens, many
of them, with spirit commendable and high

wandering the streets in search of board,
The temporary hospitality of their private
dwellings. But for this mark of friendship
and kindness, your correspondent would

friend, Dr.. White, for his proffered hospitals

attend him.

prominent candidates-both good men.
