Since our last issue, Messrs. Baker aud
Smith, who arc connected with the c. !,
4 N. Il. Il. Co. have visited Us, aid have
made propositions to the Upton Company
to this effect-that if We will grade and
tie railroad to their line, they viii guar
antce the interest on the bonds of the
Upton Company to enable them TO get
the iron, and will stock the road and run
two trains daily, as long as we may desire.
They do not advise US to tie ourselves to
their Company, for by the time that We
can get our road graded, it is possible and
even probable that the interests North
and South Of US will be sufficiently de-
velopcd to enable US to consolidate with
other Roads and form part Of main line
from ST. Paul to Muscatinc, and also from
Dubuque to Muscatine. Their propo-
sition will remain open for our accept
ance, in case we should see fit to do SO.
1t is the opinion of Mr. Baker and Mr..
Smith, who are both men Of large cxpe-
rience in railroad matters, that with their
Road completed and running to Mt Yer
non or Cedar Rapids, as it will be by the
time we can grade and tic our line, our
bonds, with their guarantee of the inter
est, will unquestionably procure the iron
Now then, citizens OF Upton and Vi
entity, do you want railroad? or had
you rather hold back while longer, till
your property deprcciates another twen-
ty.6ve per cent. in value, as it is bound
to do, if you let this opportunity pass
unimprovod? 1t is far better for you to
give, outright, one fourth of all your real
estate, than to fail in getting Road.
But it will not be gift. When the in-
terests are consolidated, as they will be
before long, this line Of Road, being o
part OF two main lines and branch OF
the G. I. 4 N. r. r., will be the best
paying railroad line in Iowa. Any man
who will look at map Of Iowa, will see
at onoe that it must be so. Then at once
when called upon, As you soon win be,
subscribe to the extent Of your ability,
and the Road will be built right along,
your property win increase in value n
least thirty per cent, and your stock will
be worth from rs to 100 ccnts on the dol
lar, 50 that it is a money making bust.
moss for you in any event. DO not hold
back, and say that this man or that man
should do SO and 50, but step right W
and do yoar duty, aud all viii be right.
