The IsailRond war EndeA.

The violent railroad war that has
ragged 90 fiercely between the old Du
buque d Sioux City Railroad Com
pany and the now Iowa Falls q Siouz
City Railroad Company. has st length
come to an end. An arrangement hal
been entered into between the two
companies, which will not only pv 4s
end to the hsstilisies, but will r.0
ably combine the interests Of the two
90 as to work for one end.
The old D. d S. c. Company have
made conveyance Of all their right,
title and interest to the lie of,he road
west Of lows Falls to the Iowa Falls
Il Sioux City company. ofwhich John
]. Blair is the head, and Of which Platt
Smith Esq, Of this city is actively in
terested. The hew company assumes,
as we understand it. oil the contracts
for grading. tieing aad bridging tks
road between Iowa Falls and Fort
Dodge, which has already been made !;
also the contracts relative to the right
Of way; and in fact. everything that
has been done by the old company
looking to the extension Of the road.
The new company take from the old
company everything just as il stands,
and have obligated themselves to push
the work ahead to rapid and success.
ful termination.
The bargain, however. is condition
q in this respect, that the land grant
which has been c5aditionally given
to the old company stall be passed
over to the nee. The legislature,
however. 10 the only party having
control of this. and the contract ali
properly signed and scaled, has been
put in the hands Of . third disintercst-
ed party TO hold until this question is
decided. and that if the land grant is
conveyed to the new company, the
contract is to be delivered. AZ the
Iowa Falls & Sioux City, however,
will be the only company competing
for the land grant, there can be little
doubt that it will secure it.
Should this condition with others Of
minor importance be fulfilled, the new
company agree to complete she road
to Fort Dodge during the present
year. and to the Missouri river before
the close Of the year 1869. The new
also assumes the lease with |
the Illinois Central beyond Iowa Falls,
to which assumption the Central man. |
ayers have already assented, and this |
latter company will therefore operate
the road as fast ~ it is completed, just |
as they nov do the completed Sec
tions. The line being completed
through to the Missouri with branch
to Sioux City and smother to . point
on the Union Pacific back Of Omahs, |
and the bridge at Dubuque being COM |
pleted about the same time, it is de-
signed to make this . great through
route, and to this end the efforts Of |
of oil the interested companies, the
Illinois Central, the Bridge Company, |
the Dubuque and Sioux City, viii all
combine.
There can be little doubt that the
road will now be completed through ~ |
fest ~ possible, and thus all that fine
portion Of Iowa beyond Iowa Falls,
opened up to the outside world. The |
energy ofMr. Blair in pushing through
and building railroads il well known,
and his name alone is . guarantee of |
success. Work on the west end Of the
Dubuque ROAD will be lively for the
two following years.
