THE NORTH Mo. RAILsoAD.-The Musca-
tine Journal copies an article from the State
Register in relation to tie proposed extern
sion of this road to Ottumws, and sppends
the following remarks
This is An enterprise which may at no
distant day result in great advantage to
Muscst:ne. When the North Missouri
Railroad IS extended to Ottumwa. its most
feasible route to reach the Cedar Valley and
st. Paul will will be Ella Washington, Mus
catine and Upton. Only two or three
short links Of railroad will be needed to
complete connections with the Cedar Valley
and Minnesota Railroad.
We throw out this suggestion for the
benefit of our citizens. hoping they will i'm
prove the opportunity when It presents it.
self to connect our city with St. Louis, and
with the rich Cedar Valley by rsilroad.
Your suggestion IS good one, Bro. Mahin,
You never made better one. Extend your
road from Washington to Ottumwa. The
distance is about so miles, and the grade
favorable. There you will be in the heart
Of the Dss Moines valley, and can 90 any
where you please. to Burlington, Keokuk,
st. Louis. Des Noines, or the Missouri river.
Here you can load ysur cars with corn,
hogs, cattle, and various other eoDmodoties.
including coal. Then extend your ro'd up
the Cedar Valley to Minnesota, and bring
down pine lumber to distribute all over
Iowa and Missouri. Resides, only think Of
through line from Chicago to st. Louis.
through Muscatire. You occupy q com.
manding position. Build this so miles Of
railroad and your city will be confirmed
as the metropolis of Iowa.
