RAILROAD PROGRESS.

The Chicago and Central Iowa Railroad
has made another leap. 1t now extends
twenty-four miles west Of Cedar Rapids
and is the longest Railroad in Iowa. The
track-laying is still going on. and it is
supposed that sixteen miles will be added
early in December Moines Times.
During rocen. trip along a portion Of
the line Of the above road, we received the
most positive assurances that the present
activity in its construction would not be
abate6 until the whole line will have been
completed. We were informed that the
company has contracted for the iron re-
quired for the entire length Of road and
that the grading and full preparation Of
the track will not be delayed for the want
Of means.
The progress in the construction Of this
road during these times of financial de-
preston indicatss that it is under the
management Of the right kind of men
men who do Lot depend upon the Legis
lature for an extension Of time for the
ful6l ment of their contract with the State
1t 10 to be hoped that the example of the
G. r. l. N. r. r. r. will infass enough
life into the other land grant roads in this
State to show that they ct least are not
defunct corporations.
