pretend to deny it. The surveys, work and ex-
pendtures have all been made on said route, and
the speculative gossip of some of our neighbors.
that the Road will 20 out of its way and take q
course over the insurmountible bluffs and bot
tom!ess sloughs of more Northern route, is sheer
nonsense and only designed for certain effect
without any regard TO truth or sincerity. ! am
credibly informed tha: the Duhu ,ue. st. Pet RS

ton with our NcGrcgor Rail Road at this
point.
Dubuque has given her credict to the Co. fer
the cum of $750,OO0 and with what can easily be
obtained in county bonds and private subscription
along the line Of said Road, will secure to it a
financial basis to Start upon, much BITTER than any
other North or South Road in the State. The
feasibility of the route is beyond question. II
will be the chea, est sho tcst and qui k st rout"
that can be obtained. and is just TIE Read the
ccple Of Northern Iowa and Minnesota wants.
With such r. r. prospects the future for Fred

are now selling for 80 or 500 will, in a very
sho,t time. be wosth 20 much per foot. BY build
