DRLEuArRs Rsruassp.-Mays Or Donahus,

from the Railroad Convention at Maquoks-
t., feeling very much - though thsy had
not built much erailroad. Thev went there
with empty hands, unable even 10 make
fair pledges or even promise tangible aid to
the project. They Of course told them that
Davenport wanted the road, and that is
about all they could say or do.
The convention came to no very definite
action other than to complete an organiza-
ton and prepare for work. A preliminary
survey will be made from De Witt to Cas-
cade, fifty or sixty miles north, and then
if thought advisable q charter will be OBJ
tanned. This will, however, not be decided
until the next convention that will meet at
Asquoketa May 2ni. There were numsr-
Gus interests rsprese nted at the convention,
and different points speaking for the road.
There is . powerful interest in all the

iuruus in favor Of making Davenport the
terminus Of the road. Their object 10 10
