Iowa South w estern.

We are pleased to be able to inform
our readers that it is the intention to at
once push the Iowa South Western
from Clinton to Iowa City. This is the
way the officers talk, and it is the only
kind of talk that has merit in it.
With the road under way to Iowa
City, there will be time enough, it is
thought, to determine upon the route
south and west of that point. But the
first move is to commence somewhere,
and quit fooling. If it was in con
temptation to build only forty or fifty
miles of road, this method ofcoquetting,
for effect, with several towns, and locat-
ing various routes, might do. But the
South Western has undertake too
much to fritter away an hours time
needlessly.
We are glad to know that the organ.
ization is beginning to appreciate the
magnitude of the undertaking, and
that an onward movement may be
expected at an early day.
The Secretary, =. Sharpless, Esq,
was in this city this week, and from
him we learn that business is meant
and that too at once.
From G. w, Irish, Esq, the Eng.
ineer, we learn that the entire route
from Upton west, through to the Mis-
souri River is unusually feasible; from
this city to Upton, our readear already
know, a road can be built cheaper than
the same distance has been built in The
west.
