As several persons have inquired Of US,
lation 10 the town as above designated,
which it is contemplated to lay out on the
Mississippi about i've miles above Moline,
we give the following extract from an srti-
Gle descriptive OF the town, that appears in
tie 4. |. ASpertser:-
"Watertosn viii De located on the bank
of that arm Of the mighty father Of wa.
ters'' which runs between the shore and
Campbell's island--a situation strikin gly
similar TO that VI Moline, aud for aught
| which can be seen at present, every way as
| desirable. Csmpbeli's Island ID very SINH
lar to Rock Island opposite Moline, and the
water power afforded BY the contemplated
dam there which is 10 extend from the
| shore 10 the island, a distance Of about 700
feet, slll be at least as great and the space
TOR the accommodation OF the business re-
sulting from that improvement will be more
| convenient and much greater. The pond
| will hold two hundred acres Of logs, besides
which it has the decided advantage of No
line in atording an excellent landing for
steamboats, al the lowest stage OF water,
and ID one OF the best haroors Tor rivef craft
that can be found from St. Paul TO New
Orleans. Why then will not WATERFOWL
rival Moline ia greatness! the elements
are in il and it certainly will.
The depot Of the Warsaw and Rockford
Railroad bet9 cen this city and Port Byron,
" hich road viii certainly be finished some
tims within . year from this date, is per-
| msnently located al Wsterto8n, and 10 So
| convenient TO the water power that lumber
| can be ioadsd directly on the cars without
handling or hauling, The head Of aaterin
the dam will be three feet, which will al
| ford any anount OF water TOR any number
| of mills, and there 10 ample room both Oh
the island and the main shore to build
| them. The Island is two miles long and
| tae dam will be located about three-fourths
Of a mile from its head. Every convent
| ence is offered for constructing the dam.
| there being 4 rock bottom and rock shores,
and plenty OF timber on the spot for the
purpose.
The coal business Of Wa,ertown, 100,
must be immense. Its location il only
three miles from some Of the largest and
bes, coal beds in the country, and every
| opportunity will be afforded mere for shi p
| ping it. The Directors of the w. and R.
Railroad seeing its advantages unanimously
agreed upon it as the place for their depot
and intend making il one Of the principal
ones on their line. A ferry charter is also
| obtained to run from the Illinois shore
across the mead of the Island TO Spencer's
Landing in lows.
As a beautiful az we'll ss business loca-
ton, Watertown offers the finest advanta-
ges. II commands q view up and down the
Mississippi from Port Byron to Rock Ia
land and Davenport, and across the country
to Rock river. On the completion 10 thai
point OF the w. and r. Railroad, the cars
can be seen running on three railroads from
that point-the Chicago and K. l., the Mis-
sissipPi and Missouri, and the N IL
is therefore easy of access at all tim es and
from all directions"
