leailread Mp the Wapsipinicen.

While the Chicago North Western and
the Illinois Central are in q sharp fight for
the trade of northern lows, and while the
Iowa Central and the Eldors railroad are
being pushed with vigor, the people along
the Wapsie. from Anamosa to Independence
and beyond, are waiting anxiously for the
extension Of the Muscat;ne, Upton and Ans
amosa Railroad into their midst. Ten years
ago . plan Of this nature was matnred, .
Company organized, surveys made aud the
route found highly favorable, but the time
was too early too few people had settled in
that direction, and other enterprises in
railroad building took of attention at this
end.
Now circumstances are changed. The
upper valley Of the Wapsie contains far
heavier population and trade, and both
rapidly growing year BY year. The people
there demand railroad connections south
ward as we'll as eastward. The one sole
feasible plan is that Of continuation oftts
Nuscatine road north. westward. By look.
ing at the map il will readily be seen that
the route up the Wapsie runs parallel with
the course Of the Mississippi, and distant
from the latter river fifty to eighty miles.
Here is natural route along the banks Of
the wapsie, . river whose borders must in
time sustain . dense population aud who
mus, have railroad facilities As surely as air
OF sunshine. Just imagine this valley. from
Anamosa to its source. away up through
Linn, Buchanan. Bremen, Chickasaw, How.
ard and Mitchell counties, . busy, thriving
hive Of half . million and more Of farm,
ers and manufacturers. Is it possible that
they will not have railroad, leading up and
down its banks, and connecting the long
line Of towns, villages and communities
which will occupy and improve its numer>
Gus manufacturing sites Only finish the
railroad now in process OF constructing
from Muscatine the way is then open for
the next stride, VITO Independence in
Buchanan County. Its course then Is on

yond and until . connection is met in rails
