This road runs through the richest and mos
thickly settled portion of this magnificent
State, and is the only link wanting to connect
st. Louis and st. Paul by a direct lns 14l
miles shorter than any other.
1t runs through the great coal fields of South.
ern Iowa to the North where coal is indispen-
| sable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
1T DOES NOT RUN THROUGH WILDERNESS
where it would wait for years for population
to give it business, but through tier of coun-
ties which are now producing about twenty
million bushels of grain, most of which is freight
for railroads.
Forty-five miles are Just diminished, and the
Superintendent reports that on the portion
open for business the net earnings are more
than the interest liabilities
Sixty miles more are graded, and million
and half of dollars have already been expepd-
ed on the work.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., and bonds can be issued only
at the rate of SIG 900 per mile, or only half the
amount upon some other roads. Special secu-
rity is provided for the principal and for the
payment of interest.
First mortgages upon most railroads are the
very safest investments, and so far as we can
learn, there is not single completed line in
the Northwest which is not only paying its in
terest, but good dividend upon its stock
The immense grain and other freights to be
carried away, and the domestic supplies to be
brought in, ensure profitable business.
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon road running through such rich and
already well-settled part eff Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as we'll as very
profitable investment. At the present rate
they pay about ten per cent. on the invest
ment. Over $4OO, 900 have been taken by the
Company's officers and others interested in the
enterprise. Pamphlets, with map, may be OBJ
tanned, and subscriptions will be received in
