PEORIA r. R.--The directors visited Mo.
line yesterday; and to-day they visit Cam
den Mills and Coal Valley. The only ind.
cations known to US, as to their decision up.
on the location Of the road, are as follows
From the Rim Union Aug 4,
It seems to be generally conceded that the
president and u majority OF the directors Of that
road, will disregard the wishes and interests Of
the people of the three adjacent cities, and locate
the road solely in the interests OF p. l.. Gable,
giving that gentleman still greater facilities iOr
inflcting on the public his greivOus coal monOp-
oily. Ordinary business sagacity might dictate
different course, but there is no telling how com
pletely the officers of the company may be under
Mr.. Cables influence.
From the Davenport Democrat 5th.
1t is not probable that the balance of the road
will be located ut this time. There is some talk
Of another survey before the location is decided
upon. The company seem to be partial to de-
lays In view Of the promises Of the president
and some Of thesdirectors, the opinion that the
route will be located via Cables road, 10 entirely
uLfounded.
From the Davenport Gazette, 9TH.
Nearly every person in Rock Island seems to
regard the selection Of the latter route as fore
gone conclusion, and only hope that The arrange
ment may be such as to give every coal ii6ld
owner on the route fair show coal shipments.
These journals crowed so loudly over the
result Of the stock election in Rock Island,
as finally settling the matter, and securing
us "cheap coal, cheap transportation and a
free ride to PEORIA that we, supposing the
matter forever settled and ended, soured on
Gable and his monopoly and went over to
the Moline route. And now when we see
one of these papers expressing doubts, and
the other two admitting that the road will
be located by Coal Valley, and the last one
humbly begging for just what Mr.. Cable
long ago offered we begin to wish we
hadn't 8oured on Mr.. Gable. 1t places US
in all awkward fix.
