another column, was quite . meeting. Dele
gates were in attendance from Oskaleesa, OF
lumwa, Montezuma, Grinnell and Abba. The
house was full and crowded during the entire
session, and the deepest interest manifested in
the proceedings throughout.
All the R. r. projects with which We stand
in any way connected, we're discussed In de-
| tail. Of these there we're Mres-the North
Missouri, the Burlington, and shs Ksokuk
roads.
1t was evidently the feeling Of the meeting,
however, that the N. n. Road did not afford Us
the first chance for r. R., but that esther of
the others presented more immediate pros
pect. Still, so well convinced was che Convsn-
ton of the Importance of great Southern
thcroughlare, that measures were taken to err
ganize company, that We might bo ready to
act At the proper time.
1t was admitted ON all hands that w muat
have q road up the valley of the Dss heinss as
soon as it can be constructed.
1t was also the unanimous voice of the Con.
vention, that the occasion demanded . united
effort from the citizens Of the entire valley to
secure this object: but it was not settled what
road presented the fairest prospects Of . speedy
completion, and ct the same time the greatest
advantages Afterwards. So sens;bly Was this
difficulty felt that the resolutions relating to
the Burlington and Keokuk roads we're post
poned to the convention to meet at Oskaloosa
on the Goth. This course was not adopted on
account Of any lack OF interest in the subjects
involved, but for an opposite reason; is vas
felt that We have not enough light on the SUBJ
ject to commit ourselves to either Of the last
named enterprises at present We need to
know which will unto the most interests among
ourselves, and also to know more about which
OF the two roads will present the greatest in-
ducemeuts TO the people Of the valley. When
these things are ascertaned, it was the ssnti-
ment to unite ut once with one of these roads
and do what we can.-Eddyvills Commercial.
