The Cedar Valley Railroad.

ralIrOad from MuScatlne up the valley Ol
the Cedar river, as contemplated by the Tip
ton Railroad and its connections, is an
enterprise second to no other in the State in
Importance. Opening, as it is designed, a
direct channel for the trade Of that rich valley
to the Southern markets, it cannot but become
one of the best paying roads in the State
Cedar Rapids will soon be in railway commu-
nication with the East and with tho Mississippi
river at Clinton, but this is not all she wants.
The trade Of that city needs nearer outlet to
the river. While it is true that railroad
facilities have diverted much trade from this
region to Chicago and the East, it must be
admitted that the bulk of it is still done at St.
Louis. And it will continue to be done there,
owing to the superior advantages of water
transportation. The exports of the Cedar
valley naturally seek the river for Southern
markets, and in return are brought back
supplies of groceries and other heavy goods.
The ncarest river point from the Cedar valley
is Muscatine. Situated some eighty miles
below Clinton, and free from the obstruction
to navigation and high rates of insurance conse-
quent on the Railroad Bridge at Rock Island,
this city is not only the nearest but in all
other respects the best river port for the
CEDAR valley. All that Muscatinc requires to
secure the undivided river-trale of Central
Iowa is railroad up this valley. As our
readers are already aware, this enterprise is
now under way. The construction of a rail
road from Muscatine to Flournoy (there
connecting with the c., |. & N. r. r. has
been undertaken by the citizens of this city
and Upton. The route is short and of easy
grade. Nearly half the work of preparing
the road bed for the iron is already completed,
and, with the proper exertions, the road may be
in running order next fall. Shall it be dones
There is consideration, in addition to any
we have referred to, which should stimulate
the friends of this enterprise to united and
vigorous action at this time. All admit the
naturally superior position of Muscatine for
the trade Of the Cedar valley. 1t will not
come here, however, unless inducements are
offered to it. Already, an effort is on foot to
divert this trade elsewhere. 1t is we'll known
that the people of johnson county have had
in contemplation railroad from Cedar Rapids
or some other point on the c., I. & N. r. r.,
by way of Iowa City, Columbus City and
Keokuk. This road, if it is ever built, will
cut off the trade we are now seeking to secure.
But it will not be built if we push forward
the Upton Railroad. The necessity for such
road will not then exist, and the project can
consequently command but little aid. Every
consideration bearing upon the commercial
prosperity of Muscatine prompts US to unite
our energies at this time in the speedy con-
summation of the long-desired railroad
communication with the Cedar valley. Let
it be done.
