New Oregon plaindealer. (New Oregon, Iowa) 1859-1866, 1860-03-23

The editor of the McGre2or
Press paid onr town = visit a few
days since, and upon his return
made a note Of Howard county
items Is follows: ~
NEW ORscoN, the county seat, or
rather situated near tho stake"
where the county seatof Howard county
is located, is . new place, yet has many
evidences Of prosperity, It's in the
edge of Oregon grove, one Of the best
bodies Of timber in Northern Iowa,
while with the fine prairies adjacent,
makes it On important point, and it is
destined ere many years to rank with
the first towns Of Iowa.
There is warm feeling among the
citizens Of Howard county toward Nc
Gresor, and they are very DESTROYS Of
q Railroad connection at some time.-
In this matter, We are confd ent that it
is to tho interest Of our people to en-
courage and assist the enterprise 50 far
as their means will permit, and we
hope that some de6nate action may be
taken before long to organize compa-
ny having in view the building Of a
McGregor North Western Railroad
The Route is one of the best in the
whole country, following o. it will q di.
viding ridge, and passing through =
most fertile and prosperous district Of
country. We know that at present
there il but little means can be COM
manded for building railroads, yet that
the day of railroads are over We do not
believe, and We know that this vast
extent Of most excellent country will
not 60 many years without Satellites Of
commerce. Its growing prosperity
forbids such an idea, and although We
may not, by the organization Of such
company, succeed in Building the road
in short time, yet We may enlist the
interest oft people in the enterprise,
and establish the future certainty Of it
when the demands of the country re-
auire it and the means Of the people
viii permit its building. and this with
our present advancement in both popu-
lation and wealth, will he no very 70.
mote day.
At New Oregon the people were .
little excited on thereapcr question:
1t seems that Falvey & Co., of Racine,
had sent an agent which said agent
many Of our readers will remember as
having been good adept at "whisky
poker" and pitch" in this city during
the last season, to cell for them. He
went on and sold quite o number of
the reapera representing the matter
just to suit the purchaser-after awhile
along came the respers, many Of which
were old styles and not in working or !.
der, and some Of the purchasers expe.
rienced great inconvenience and loss :.
Now the company send on 3 new agent
to collect the notes. He il q marvel
loas proper person, who fully feels the
importance Of his lofty position, and
deprecates the action, dishonesty and
false pretensions Of his successor in un-
measured terms, yet demands of the
purchasers the compliance of their
contract to the letter or very nearly so.
We apprehend that their course in this
matter will give tbs people to under.
stand that hereafter they had better
buy their rsapers of good responsible
local agents, and not permit themselves
to be duped and imposed upon by itin.
Grating pedlars.
The Republi cans of this county
announce a mass meeting At the
Court House on the 3lst inst, for
organizing q republican club. -
The bills say, Speeches will be in
attendance" We don't know
