To the above highly satisfactory re-
port of the McGregor company, we
find appended in the McGregor Times,
an extract from the Eighth Annual Re-
port of the Milwaukee and Mississippi
Railroad, which we copy:
"Thc advantages, prospects and con-
nections of your road were set out at
length in the report of last year, with
which you are familiar, and therefore
a repetition is unnecessary. In addi-
ton to the connections set forth in
that report we have now to mention
the organization of the McGrcgor, st.
Peters and Missouri River Railroad,
known as the Northern Iowa Railroad
Company, extending directly west
from Prairie du CHEN across the State
of Iowa. This company has been full
ly organized, and a considerable
amount of stock subscribed. A sur
vcy has been made extending one hun
dred and thirty miles into the country.
exhibiting practicable route. The
road passes through as fertile and well
settled region as the county of Dane
in this State, and the farmers along
the line are as well able to build the
road. Fifty miles of this road will be
speedily built, and will Immediately
form an important feeder to your road.
Northern Iowa possesses a fertile soil
and healthy climate, and for all the
purposes of agriculture except a mar
ket, is not inferior to any portion of
Wisconsin,"
