Meetings are being held, and stock sub
scribed, in nearly oil the counties Of Gen.
trail Iowa, for different railroad projects. AT
least half q dozen new. schemes Of the kind
are engrossing attention. One plan Is to
Duild road from or through Oskaloosa, and
through Powcshiek and Tama counties to
Cedar Falls, connecting At its southern end
with the North Missouri, and ct the north>
ern with the Cedar Falls aud st. Paul. This
is called the Iowa Central Railroad. Anoth
cr project il to build line from Ottumwa,
through Keokuk, Iowa, and BENTON coun.
ties, 70 Cedar Rapids, to be an extension Of
the N. NJ Railroad, but owned and CONTROL
cd by another company. A third line u
projected from Cedar Rapids, by Ninton, to
Cedar Falls. A fourth is mapped out from
PelIs, through Newton and Marshalltown,
in the direction of the North pole. Another
is u run from Ottumwa ~ the State line.-
And work has been commenced on road
from Alexandra, No., opposite kcokuk,
through Clark and Scotland counties, in
that State, and DAVIS in this, TO Bloomfield
Still another project is on foot 70 build
line from Eddyville, through Wapeiio, Mon
roe, and Appanoose counties, TO connect
with the N NJ. Railroad. In the West.
road is said to be under contract from Coun-
Gil Bluffs TO the Southern State line. Com
panies have been formed for the construc-
ton OF all or nearly all these roads. Some
Of these projects will probably fall through,
although We would rejoice Mt the success Of
every one Of them, and twice "s many moro
But whether successful or not, those who
are getting them up deserve credit Tor the
energy which they manifest in the work.
Now. won't somebody here in order to be
up with the rest of the State, start rail
road company. Des Moines may as well
be the terminus Of half dozen roads as
Cedar Rapids or Ottumwa. Paper is cheap,
and it doesn't cost much to lay out rail
ways all over rcnm Of it.
