will effect sure and complete cure in from one
to three hours, and leave the poor chick healthy
and sound.

DAVENPORT AND LIE CLAIRE RAIL
RoAD.-One word to the voters of Scott
county, on the subject of taking stock in the
Cedar Valley Rail Road.
regret to observe that in all the public
meetings that has recently taken place to
urge the necessity of railroad to and up
Cedar Valley, not one word has been said in
relation of urging the necessity of going for
ward with the lie Claire and Davenport
road, if not first at least in conjuction with
the Cedar Valley road.
Do the people of Davenport think for one
moment that a vote for even $50, 900 will or
can be carried for that road without iaclu-
ding something for the lie Claire and Da-
venport road? will venture small wa
ger that not one Sth Of the voters above
East Davenport will vote one dollar unless
at least $4,000 is added toward the build
ing of the last named road, $4,000 is now
taken by the two cities above named and
$4,000 more must be raised by some means
or other before the Company can organize,
and now is the proper tire for the friends
Of the lie Claire road to urge their claim for
the means to push forward this road, and
the County at least in part. The citizens Of
lie Calire look with confidence for aid
through the citizens Of Davenport. They
expect for past favors given by the former
city toward the building of the NJ. d N.
road, shall they have itl This is the ques-
ton now to be discussed. One road is as
easily built per mile ~ the other. One will
be of equal advantage to Davenport as the
other. and immeasureably SO to the citizens
Of LIE Claire and the upper end = the Coun-
ty and all along the linev>
Think of this voters and do not run the
risk Of losing al by niggardly Jealousy to
wards lie Clairs. I shall have more to say
at another tima VOTER

The MISSISSIPPI d Missouri RAIL
RoAD.-lrs IMPORTANCE TO DAvENpoaT.-In
our eagerness to build railroad to the Ce-
dar Valley, which all must admit, is a ver5
laudable enterprise, we should by no means
lose sight of the vast benefits which would
accrue to us by taking steps to. rapidly ex-
tend the NJ. d NJ. r. r. to the Missouri
River. This is not the work of single
year hut should nevertheless be prosecuted
with vigor and nought but unceasng effort
on the part four citizens and those along
the line with their capital and influence,
will cause 1t to move on with any thing like
the necessary speed. This great work once
completed, and that with all possible dis
patch, we shall have achieved an enter
prise that will at once work wonders for our
beautiful city. Then we shall command
the entire trade-not of the counties along
the line in the State of Iowa alone-but of
that vast and fertile tract of country known
as the upper Missouri tract, which lies not
only in Iowa, but in the territories adjacent,
and stretching far. far beyond.
This will appear the more rational By IN
examination of the map, where it will be
seen that the distance from Council Bluffs
to st. Louis by the river is one thousand
miles. which from the same point by the
way ofDavenport and La Sale to st. Louis,
is only about sir hundred miles; the dis
tance in favor of this route being over four
hundred miles. which in transportation Of
goods and travel, is an item of no mean i'm
portance
With this road built. then, what vast
trade could we command. Not only should
we have, as above stated, the trade of the
entire heart of Iowa, embracing several rows
of counties along the line of the road, but
we should have the trade Of large portion of
the territory of Nebraska and ~ that
country become more settled, the road
would be taken up on the other side Of the
river. and carried along into the interior Of
SNoeeyt 0Au St4il until ~
should progress through the entire Pacific
slope, and at last reach some important
point on the western shores of the Ameri-
can Continent. This road would and may
form the grand trunk through this tract Of
country, and be the medium Of rendering
the immense tract of country west Of us,
tributary, in part, at least, to Davenport
This grand project is not matter of i'm
possibility by an means but in order to
have it carried out. It must receive fresh
impetus at our hands.
Davenport and the country round about
expects to reap large advantages from the
M 4 NJ. R. R.. but in order to realize thoss
advantages-thoss high privileges within
our reach-we must not lay idle. but put
the shoulder to the wheel With . d11afni.
