The Muscatine. Upton & Anamosa
Railroad.

DIC. t loil Val thuSS, Aaiia'AS eAASAN 80 -
railroad completed to st. Louis. Bur-
lington, Iowa, is about thirty miles
north of Carthage. Between the two
places there is road now under con-
tract. At Burlington there is now
bridge being built across the Mississippi.
Now in connection with these facts
let it be considered that the Northwest
wants a southern market, and st. Louis
wants connection with the Northwest,
and we will see what our duty IS. Any
north and south road crossing the east
and west roads of Iowa will secure the
desired connection. The various aspi-
ring cities and towns see the situation
and appreciate the fact that the route
which first secures the road will be the
fortunate one, and there will then be no
demand for another. Hence thevarious
localities are urging thepropriety ofbuiId-
ing roads on various routes; Efforts are
being made to geta road built from the
terminus of the North Missouri road
northward through Albia, Oscaloosa,
Montgomery, de-, requiring the con
struction of about $40 miles of road to
connect the G.. n. w. road with st. Lou
is. Efforts are also being made to con-
struct road from the North Missouri
road through Bloomfield, Ottumwa and
Sigourney to Cedar Rapids. This would
also require the construction of about
140 miles of new road. The Burlington
people propose 10 have a northern con-
necGton with st. Louis by way of their
city, and It is said that n road is under
contract from Mt Pleasant Ton The Is.
and NJ. road through Iowa City to &C.
dar Rapids. This would require the
building OF about IS miles of new road
to connect Cedar Rapids with Bur-
lingtOn, and thence by way of Carthage
to st. Louis. 1t is said that by the last
of October road will be under contract
from Cedar Rapids, by way of Solon
to Burlington. This would require the
building Of more than - miles of road.
If q miles Of the NJ. r. q A. r. II.
from f'lournoy to Muscatine) We're COM
pleted the G.. n. w. II. r.. would be con-
nected with Columbus, and the Bur-
lington people would see that about 35
miles of road from there 10 Columbus
would connect them with the c. d Y.
W., and about - miles from the latter
road to Anamosa would connect them
with Dubuque andits roads. live COM
pletc the Ne. z. d A road, and those in
tcrested in the West Liberty road cont
plete theirs as far north as Columbus,
our connection with Burlington is COM
plcte or il those interested in the Iowa
City route complete theirs as far north
as Mt. Pleasant our connection with
Burlington is complete.
Now can any one fail to see that to Sc
cure these advantages we must COM
piete our road as soon as possible? If
either of the other Burlington routes is
completed as far north rs to Columbus
81 Washington it completes our line,
provided we are ready at our end of the
WA h11yn thp Nv ton hCaauGn
we have q large amount of work done.
The contractor expects to complete the
grading by next October. The con-
tracts for Building the bridges arc let.
The latter contracts will require about
1000, hence stockholders will see the
necessity Of paying up their instal1ments
that the contracts may be fulfilled and
the road secured. The delay to pay SO
may result in the loss 500. Let eve
~ one be prompt.
The directors will hold meeting ct
Muscatinc on the 18th Of July, 1867, for
the purpose of pushing forward arrange
mel4t3 for procuring iron, and for the
purpose ofcailing in the balance of the
stock. Let no stoczh older fear that he
viii not be called upon but let each one
spare 10 time III getting his money
ready to pay as soon as called for.

THE Mccormick MOWER AND THE
GOLD MEDAL.--Our cable dispatches of
Of Saturday announced the fact that Nc
Cormick'3 Mower had been officially
awarded the first prize ut the Paris Tx
position, at which nearly all the Eng
fish machines, and many American ma
kers were repre- sented. The triumph is
an unequivocal one, ard one, one Of
which not onl y the firm of Mccormick,
brother, but the city Of Chicago, and
the whole State Of Illinois, may well be
proud. The competition being great,
and the competitors exhibiting the best
mowers in their respective countries.
the Triumph is Of no light Importance,
and that the judges We're competent to
decide no one will dispute.
y Few days ego, in writing Of the pro-
spectlve award, We gave the substance
ola letter detailing the incidents of the
thittAs ftilN tIit5 tlic 1IlaicItIDilS
were that this gold medal would be
awarded to the Mccormick Machine.
The events has justified the belief then
expressed. Furthermore, this great
farming world Of the great Northwest
have long since formed their own opin-
ion, and while they do not pin their faith
to the sleeve of any committeeman, they
will not be sorry to see their preference
so unequivocally endorsed by the COM
mittee Of experts n ppointed to adjuciate
on the respective merits of this moving
machine sent TO the Paris Expos ton
Citrcago IrijHuc.
This award was not entirel yunexpcct-
ed. No farmer who has used tie Nc
Cormick machine would rendered iudg-
ment otherwise. Among the first in
troduced i'll the West constantly grow
ing i'll public favor, it has now achieved
world wide fame--the champion of all
machines. Messrs. McNair & Jordan,
OF Davenport, are agents for the Meteor
mick Machines, and parties des iring
them should order at once.
