some Of the officers of this road are in St

the enterprise. From the following article
which we extract from The Iteitigcncer q

a good degree of success:

from =. Louis, to provide rolling stock for
the road Mr.. Iornish gave an interesting
account of the operations on the work, the
probable cost, business prospects, probable
means for further northward extension IRON
Montrose, &c.
After some consultation a subscription WAS
opened. and several Of the gentlemen present
subscribed 81 900 each to the capital stock Of
the company, thus manifesting their belief in
the safety Of the investment. rs well as the
Importance Of the project to st. Louis. On
this latter point, il our Judgment, there il u3
room for two opinions.
