AVON SPRINGS, N. Y, July "a, 1sos.
Time has not dealt generously with this favOrite
old haunt of many q summer tourist and sojourner.
The season Of 1888 IL bewaed by hotel proprietors
OF the poorest known; but 1t Is So they say,
In every year Of Presidential election. People have
so much talking and planning and scheming to do
that they can't find time to make their usual run to
the watering places. The political agitation in the
country the New York Convention and the pro-
tracted session OF Congress are occasions that
bine TO keep people away from the summer resorts.
Five hundred would fully cover the number Of per-
sons now at Avon The hotels are about two-thirds
full but they have rivals this year the many board
ing houses which have been suddenly opened and in
the private cottages rented by families who seem to

village looks quite important and imposing under
thus sudden accession Of new domices and inhabit-

Letter From ST. Davis
The extension Of the q. d. 8. G.
z. n. to Sioux City.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Aug. 31st, 1858.
ED. GAZETTE. Having noticed IL
the Chicago Journal Of late date, an
extract from your, paper, 20 stating
a belief that the Tariff restriction
clause in the Land Grant to the Iowa
Falls & Sioux City r. r.. Company,
was not so much in the way of its
speedy extension as you feared John
/. Blair was.
And as the belief may be shared
by many others, and may be an OBJ
stacle in the way of the efforts now
being made by the citizens on the
western and unfinished portion of
that road to secure its i'm mediate
completion. / take the liberty Of
making a statement of the acts
known to us-and will introduce my
self by saying that have been APP
pointed one of committee by the
people of Sioux City, to cooperate
with similar committees appointed
at Fl. Dodge, and Webster city, to
take steps to secure the repeal of that
restriction. And with Hon. G. G.
Carpenter Of TT. Dodge, and w. c.
Wilson of Webster City, the chair
men of these committees, I am now
in this portion Of the state visiting
the members Of the legislature to get
enough ofthem to signify their inten-
ton to vote for the repeal Of the Tar
iff restriction clause to justify the
Governor in taking the responsibility
of calling the Legislature together in
extra session, and knowing that
your paper as well as your members
and your people have always stood
by us, and worked with US in all eff
orts we of the west have made to secure
the completion of the road on the d.
rect line through to Sioux City, we
desired to call on you as we passed
through your place, and obtain your
assistance in the work the people of
our localities have entrusted to us,
but circumstances prevented our do
ing so at the time.

With John I. Blair and his inter-

SO far as they may be for the interests
of our people and the State of Iowa.
And whatever may have been his
views and the views of those connec-
ted with him in the r. r. Co., as to
the line ofroad they would adopt and
the time of It's completion prior to the
passage of the bill by Congress limit
ing the line of road to the limits of
the Land Grant, we are now satisfied
that the verbal assurances which Mr..
Blair gave to Judge Hubbard and
others in Washington City at the
time of the passage of the bill by
Congress, that he would, If the legis-
lature of Iowa was favorable to him,
build the road through to Sioux City
on the direct line and within the linn
Its of the Grant, and complete II to
Fort Dodge on this end and from
twenty to forty miles on the west
end and have the whole line graded
or under grading contracts during the
year 1868, were made In good faith
and intended to be performed. =
And we now can see that he had
the ability to perform 1t all, If this
legislation had been favorable, be-
cause as perhaps many of your citi-
zens knowth force then ut work be-
tween Iowa Falls and Fort Dodge had
large portion Of the grading done at
the time the legislative action was
had, and could have easily somple-
ted 1t, 1butafter the restriction was
put this force was withdrawn as far
as the company could do 1t without
costing as much as to have the work
go on. And 1t is now known to us
that iron for fifty miles of the track
being enough to lay 1t to Fort Dodge
was purchased before the passage of
the Tariff restriction, and that half of
1t has since then been sold, while on
the west end of the route Mr.. Blair
had at the time of the enactment of
this fatal clause the contractors and
many of the men who had built and
were finishing the "a miles of the
Sioux City aud Pacific r.. r. into
Sioux City. These men had been as
sured they would be put to work on
that end of the Dubuque II. r. in the
spring and were delaying aud wait
ing there for that purpose /; these for
ces with such others as might have
been had were sufficient to perform
all that he had promised. He had
also large quantities of ties purchas-
ed for that end which are now being
used elsewhere. In addition to this
we are assured and believe that Mr.
Blair had the stock to build the road
subscribed and money pledged to
him by such capitalists as Cakes
Ames and other eastern men who
were abundantly able to furnish all
the money necessary to build the
road at once, but who, on the passage
Of the tariff restriction notified Mr..
Blair they would not invest their
money under 1t. The Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad Company also notified
him that they would not run thunder
that restriction If he did build 1t, and
this alone would prevent any compa.
NY from building it as it would not
pay unless run in connection with
their end Of the road. And further
that Mr.. Blair himself has furnished
the money amounting to almost half
a million which has paid for the
work and material done and furnish
ed up to this time on this end of the
road.
But although Mr.. Blair had repeat
