Probably it would be the Quincy and

Des Moines Railroad. The road never
had any State aid /; 16 miles were
graded ENTHUSIASTICALLY from Leav-
enworth. It forms q connection with
the Leavenworth and Galveston road,
giving them 700 miles nearer seaport
than with New York. The road will
form connection at Ottumwa, Iowa,
