How many men, from badly cured diseases, from
the effects of self abuse and excuses, have brought
about that state of weakness in those organs that has
reduced the general system so much as to induce al

Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1870-06-17

The Vintpn Eagle thus sets forth the ad
vantages Of the route projected for the
North and South railroad from Ouumwa
north through Wapello, Keokuk, Iowa, Ben
ton, Buchanan and Fayette counties to a
connection with the Milwaukee and St.
Paul. r. R:
The city of Ottnmwa with population of
nearly 5000, and large wholesale trade and
manufacturing interest. is deeply Interested in
the success of the enterprise, as it opens a
country north which has as yet been naccessl-
Bile to trade.
The value of manufactures in "aHcl!o coun-
ty, NEST of which belong to Ottumwa, was last
year S637 $40. At least 100000 worth of
farm produce was raised in the townships in
which the route lays. Eeokuk county, with a
population off ,2S0, an agricultural product
valued at 1.l05 S33, 1--we stock sales to the
amount of S500,000, and over Sl00,oO0 worth
of manufactured articles, has not n railroad
within its borders, and none of her inhabitants
are nearer to Il railroad than twelve or iif
teen miles. The great bulk of the trade in
that county can and will be acquired by this
road. Leaving keokuk county, the route leads
through Millersburg and Genoa Bluffs, thriv-
ing villages of Iowa county, to Marengo, the
county seat, a city of 800 Inhabitants. com
manding a trade in agricultural products
amounting to fully 100000 year. As the
Chicago, Rock Island Is Pacific road passes
only through the northern bet of townships
this road would command the trade OF Mt least
one half of Iowa county. Thence we have an
easy line to Blairstown by the valley of Coon
creek, which we have been informed by G. W.
Irish, of Iowa City, competent engineer, is
one of the most natural routes for u railroad
in the State.
With the rich resources of Blairstown, and
Leroy. Union, Big Grove and Eden townships,
all of which would be interested. our readers
are too well acquainted to make it necessary
for us to enlage upon them. North of this
ci.y, the concentrated route leads through
Harrison township. by way of Brandon, in
Buchanan county, to independence. At the
latter city is the headquarters Of the perfected.
Anamosa & Northwestern road, with it is pro-
posed to cooperate in building a road to
Ca'mar on the McGregor st. Paul Railway.
The line we have thus sketched out is nearly
an air line from Bloomfield to Independence,
passing through four county seats, three other
fourishing towns. and section of country
that has no superior in tho State, being we'll
settled, rich and fertile.
Such are. briefly, the advantages the COM
pany can secure b, taking this route. In
selectiug the route by Victor and Belle Plane
they will have to depend on those towns alone
for aid after leaving Sigourney. and we think
our Waterloo nc .hbors have too lately bled,
to be able or willing to offer any pecuniary aid.
Against Victor and Belle Plaine. then. are
Millcrsburg, Genoa Bluts, Marengo, Blairstown,
Vinton and independence. Which can give
the most aid TO project of this kind, even
supp sing the former route to be rs feasible
Now, shall we do our utmost of secure this. or
not.
