The above tables, which we think
present handsome showing for Cedar
county, have been in serted atthe sugges
ton Of several of the citizens, and we
think the space could not have been
better occupied.
Cedar county is well watered by the
Cedar and Wapsipinicon rivers, which
at some points in the county would
form very good water powers. The Ce-
dar enters the county near the center OF
the west boundary, passing out near the
center of the southern boundary The
Wapsey passes through the north west
ern portion of the county. These rivers
and other smaller streams are skirted OH
either side by belts Of fine timber.
There are other groves aud extensive
tracts of timber through the central por-
tions of the county. Indeed most Of the
useful kinds of timber peculiar to the
west are abundant, among which may
be mentioned, red white, black aud
burr oak; white and black walnut;
hard and soft maple; ash, hickory, elm

points in the county. The fine qualities
of limestone resembles that of the quar-.

with but little trouble or expense. OF
other building materials, brick clay,
lime, sand, and gravel, abound In every
township.

soil and surface. Portions along the
larger streams are somewhat broken
and uneven in surface; but the soil IL
