asssssd that al that IL nov vassng - insure
she sompissios sf this road within the time
mentioned, 10 the hearty cooperation Of the
people for whose interests The road Vas
primarily prejsessd, and iss construction
sadsrsaksn. The business men Of the
ssvusl counties have, ~ understand pretty
generally Subscribed literally to the capital
stock Of tbs company. Municipal sorpors-
tioas hsss done likewise least, 20 far -
PotsAwatssmis County and The City Of
Council BlsGs are concerned. From the
sources We hare mentioned, has the means
been mostly derived, to place this road in
it's present ssats Of fOrsardnsss. To ensble
Mr.. HEsDsiE to fs!6li bis contract, further
subscriptions TO shs capital stock from some
quarter will be absolutely necessary. What
class u people 30 abs to subscribe the
Stock necessary for the speedy completion
Of tbs road, ~ the farmers in the counties
through which it passes? What class
Of people will be more benefited than the
farnsse, By the speedy completion Of this
road? And yet, how much aid have they
contributed towards its construction? We
know not the smount, but venture to assert,
that their aggregate subscription Of stock
does not to-day exceed that Of the city Of
Couocii Bluffs. This Is al wrong. The
farmers, themselves, are sbundan,ly able to
take all Of the stock necessary to secure the
early construction Of the road. Not only
that, but it Is to their interest to do 90, - No
think . very few words viii suffice to show.
Every Intelligent farmer understands full
we'll, that tbs ralue Of bis farm 10 not regu.
lated, to any great degree, BY tbs richness
OF iss soil, its fne timber, nor yet BY ito
good we'll and stock water. 1t may be q
mode! farm, in oil these respects, and yet be
may not be able to sell itfor more than from
- to s. per acre, owing to Its rem oteness
from any commercial centre, and the absence
Of any cheap, speedy and reliable IN ans of
transporting the surplu, products Of the
said farm, to . good and reliable market.
Lot railroad b put in operation in the
county 10 which said farm lies, and the
land viii At once increase in value from
- 10 500 per csut.--juss in proportion
to its nsasnsss to or remoteness from a
railroad station. Tho prics Of products
will be regulated in the Same way. As We
said before, every intelligent farmer uudo-
stands this full well. They all understand
that in traffic carried on as it is at present,
BY slow ssagcs-from producer to village,
from village to county-town, from county
sovnto eity--thas when market is finally
reached, there is but little margin Of profit
left to The farmer Or any one else. The prof
its, and sometimes the products themselves,
ara consumed in the costs Of transportation.
The farmer IL the one who loses the most in
the opsration-he loses bis own toll, and
that OF bis family, and wears out bis farm
and all because he Is unprovidsd With
cheap and speedy method Of getting the
fruits Of bis own and bic households toll to
market. The nearer you can bring the pro.
Queer and consumer together, the better it
i. for both. The farmers Of Western Iowa
have complete control Of this whole matter.
They hare bat to subscribe literally to the
Capital Stock OF the Council Bluffs and st.
Joseph Railroad--psy up their installmeuss
promptly, - this years bountiful harvest
has furnished them the means Of doipg-and |
tho object Of the many priva.ious they have
undergone in the West, 10 accomplished

10 Be the qaicksss and most tf not the only
