1xrol1AHf NArrsR-Ws cannot urge too
strongly upon the..minds Of our citizens the
importance Of putting forth strenuous efforts
to secure additional transportation facilities
between this city and the markets East;
and such, also - win draw the trade OF
Central Iowa to Davenport. We look upon
this matter - being Of the most vital TIM
portasee, and viii gladly render all the =
sistauce in our power TO bring the matter
shout. We must move il earnest about il,
not only tall but ocs not only cay but 10.
Now let our citizens arouse themselves
from the lethargy in which they have %
long been induIging, and BY concentrated,
energetic. and decisive action, secure these
two grand results. Our city never would
have gained her present commercial sni-
nenee, had Il not bsen that in earlier days,
her leaders were always quick T. zee IN Cd
vantage, and swift to secure il. Every
scheme that promised success and perma-
nent benefits, Was ardently advocated and
literally supported. OF late. We are be-
coming weary Of the chase, and if We do
not soon re-assume our olden energy, some
more ambitious rival will arise and pluck
away our laurels. Cannot public meet
ing be called, and some one capable of SO
doing, be given the opportunity Of rousing
up our cities to aproper sense Of their du-
ties in this matter.
If the ball can once bs put in motion,
and the people be pursuaded that they have
direct and personal interest in this mat
Ter, something will be done. Let compe
tent committees be appointed to investigate
the matter; to decide what movements will
be the most successful ones, and il money
10 needed, let our citizens come down With
their cash as though return was expected
to be realized in . vastly increased COM
merce on some not far distant day, and not
as though they were casting 80 much pro-
duce Of honest toll to..the four winds. IL the
proper public spiris is shown--the proper
generosity-it will not be long till capital
lists will hasten to support our enterprises,
and our efforts will be blessed with signal
success. II we do not do our duty-thsn
we must not grumble when We have to pay
sxhorbitant transportation rates, or n We
wake up from our pleasant dreams some day
to find our rivals casting us far in the shade.
The question now is-who will make the
first move in this matter where Ill are con-
cerned
