C0umCkK BLUFFS Is STEAK CITY
Railroad.


The Couuoil Bluffs BaeIs Of the 9th
inst. contains an editorial article depre-
eating tina apathy Of the press in the
counties north 0f Pessawattamis with
references 10 the above railroad, and
Judges from the tons Of kha press thas
bus little interest ia taken ia ahe con-
suction o. sha road. Ia this We think
our friends Of BagIs are mistaken -
We can speak for Woodbury. county, and
cay that der citizens manifest q lively
interest in the welfare Of the road, and
are willing to aid in its conjunction to
the extent Of their ability. ShoT " af-
ter the organization 81 Magnolia Of
company 10 bald tha Council Blafs and
Sioux City Railroad, Our eitizana met
in convention and resolved that they
were in favor Of donating So portion Of
all the Swamp Lands belonging 70 the
county 70 aid in grading and mpleaing
thesroad - and spirit Of enthusiasm pre-
vailed in favor of the early commence
msnt at the road thai was highly COM
mandable.
Oar neighbors ia Monona county also
mss in eoanty convention, and with great
uBAnimisy resolved 60 donats cat of the
Swamp Land Fund the sum of 81, 900
TO aid in constructing the road shro ugh
sheir county. This sum vas deemed SUI
ieient TO grade and furnish the road
With ties ia thai county. IL addition to
this gEant Of lands, tbs oiaikens Of tAasa
counties are prepared TO make liberal
individual subscriptions, and in every
possible way in their power 60 facilitate
the early completion Of this important
railroad.
And NOW ocmes the question While
the citizens Of tbs counties above named
have promptly coms ap 20 the work and
offered to do their utmost to aid in bull
ding the road, what has the Company,
% which yes entrusted the management
Of the road, been doing ? and We are
compelled 20 answer, aokhisss, absolute
liz NOTHING. 10 our knowIedgs not
