Rnbr Road Matters.

pect Of a railroad. Mr.. G.. G. Mason,
Of that place, is actively engaged in
holding meetings to encourage the
enterprise, and very few Of the farm
crs hesitate to subscribe. The terms
Of subscription are. SO much to be
paid when the cars are running to
Waltham, and not sooncr,-so no one
can lose in the operation.
A corps Of engineers is out survey
ing the route, and have already reach
cd Belle Plainc. They continue on
this week to Waterloo.
We know Of no more encouraging
undertaking in railroad matters than
this one: and we wish our friends in
the eastern part Of the county success
with it. They have the best Of farms,
and deserve just such facilities for
marketing. Hurrah for Salt Creek
Valley!
