RAILROAD projects are not railroads to be
sure, as many disappointed expectants know.
But the roads that were projects once, and Of
the many suggested and incubated some will
come to profitable maturity. We have no.
tced that the Keosauqua public are urging .
route from keokuk west by branch Of the
Valley Road from Red Rock and keosauqua
to Bloomfield Still urging this matter, our
| friend, Judge Brown says Of The proposed
route:
keokuk Is lar more deeply interested in this
ras! than We are, ana so is the railroad company
thai connects her with the west All that is
necessary for us to do in tho accomplish ment OF
this great public benefit is to in the matter
Ut once and bring it before the public and let it
lie agitated among the people. There be no
doubt but it has great many advantages over
any other proposed rouie having for its objects
the interests Of keokuk aud the benefit of large,
fertile, and rich portion Of Iowa. keokuk wants
road running west, and this i. her only chance,
and if she will only take hold Of the matter with
that energy and determination that has character
ized her heretofore in such matters. the people
along thi. line will not stand back.
Per contra, .'Old Settler, writing to the
Keosauqua Republican, says:
see from your last issue that your CORE spond-
en,, J. L. Iorpg, is urging the construction of a
railroad from Rock Creek via keosauqaa. Pitts
burg and Troy to Bloomfield, for the purpose Of
| interesting the n. NJ. Road st the latter place.
Now fear this project too late, as there is
. road already in progress Of construction, which,
when completed, will accomplish the desired re-
.ult u connecting the D. Y. Road with the n. NJ.
Road, at less running distance from keokuk than
the proposed road. allude to the Southern Iowa,
or Iowa and Missouri Line Railroad, which was
commenced previous to the breaking out Of the
rebellion and has its eastern terminus at Farming
ton. Nearly al the grading is already done on
this road. with goodly number Of hands at work
at the present time, pushing the work forward to
completion, with good prospect of having the
running before the close Of the present season.
