State government, such lands shall not be
conveyed to the railroad companies This
settles the hash of the title question:" es-
pecially to river lands" The people Of
northwestern Iowa will be especially inter.
ested TO know that the Pacific II. r. act Of
the last Congress is so ameudcd as to give
the construction of a branch from Sioux
City to an Independent company, who may
construct the branch on the most practicable
route, and have full powers to do SO at once
thereafter. if within eighteen months there
be no road from the east to Sioux City. This
most certainly, will assure road to north
west Iowa in a short time. The McGrcgor
road was abundanty aided by land grant
which will eventually be Of great benei. to
all northern Iowa. II was because of he
personal exertions Of your immediate repre-.
sentative, Judge Hubbard, that the land mar.
ket for actual settlers was not closed on ac.
count Of these grants. Iio wisely thought,
that the roads would be benefited by settle
ncnts along their lines, and had an order
issued from the Land Office accordingly -
The Judge also got through an appropria.
ton OF $l0,000,--for the protection of omi
grafton to Idaho and Montana by the north
ern route, and had a mail route established on
the same line thus doing II service to north.
ern Iowa which cannot well be oyerost
mated.
II is not to be doubted that the legislation
of the last session, touching railways passing
through Iowa, will rcsul, in the permanent
prosperity of all portions of the State. max.
ing it one of the most desirable by emigrants
in all the country. And it is certain that in
the bringing about Of this beneficial legisla.
ton, Judge Hubbard exercised great and
constant influence, as he did in all legislation
tending TO benefit the great and growing
Northwest. The Judge does not make much
noise, docs not so in on the fuss and fcath-
er" style, but he worked constantly and ell
GENTLY for the good Of the country and his
constituency, and is most highly esteemed
by everybody here. Such men as he will do
our State more substantial service in a year
than Dodge and Jones both would do in a
