EAsly next morning after our arrival
in Reoknk, We took q walk Of about two
miles oul, 30 thai We ceuid overlook tbs
city, and were wonderfully surpris ed 70
see the amount of Improvement and
building which had bean done in the Last
tive years, Her population has doubled
within the last thrse years, being nos
not far from Is, 600. Her citizens
have built Railroad 20 Bentonsport, a
distance Of IS miles, and hundreds d
passengers and thousands Of dollars
wSgth Of produce ara brought daily to
the city, thus adding 70 Der population
and commercial Importance. The eity
| is about 500, 900 in debt, all Of which
hAs been contracted In the construction
Of her two Railroads, and still abe goss
on prOsperouslY. We wondsr what some
Of our old Fogy eitissns would think il
Council BluHs was tbs half Of S600, 200
in dsbs2 Yet if they would look at Ks-
okak or Burlington, they would hnd
thas their going in debt aad bailaing
Railroads. and making city improve
ments, is the cause which has produced
their unsxampled growth and prospsri-
ty. But 90 il is. There are thousands
in this world Who are made rich not
! withstanding their awn strenuous exeF-
tiORs 10 prevent it, and yet thoaa same
men, wheB they aud themselves made
! rich through the sxertions and influences
Of others, are the hardest and tightesi

Railroads to the Des Moinea, she will
! iet all tue produce ct sha rich valley OF
the Des Moinss pass through her gate
Nor will shs be eoatent in taking toll
from the Des AOinss valley, as is al
ready indicated By her determination TO
tie the Missouri slope to her by the iron
/ rail tic, and the time is net far distant
/ when the 60 Iron Harseo will dip his tail
in the morning in the L" Father Of VS.
ters," at Keokuk, and switch it in the
face Of the people of Council Bluffs as
he stops in the evening to qasnOh bis
thirst from the mad Missouri.
Let Old Fogies, who are opposed 10
going in debt to aid in the construction
Of Railroads at Council Bluff, learn a
lesson from Davenport, Museatins, Bur.
lington and Keokuk.
