WATERLoO.-We made nasty visit to
our enterprising western neighbor last
Monday in company with our city dads.
The party consisted of his honor Mayor
Roszcll, City Clerk Weart, Street Com
missioner Birmingham, Fire Engineers
Barte and Munson, and Councilmcn
King, Cobb, Travis, Fonda, Handy and
Durham. This is all with the egg ception
of our Jolly friend Palmer of the egg
depot. The purpose Of the municipal
Eruption, was to witness trial of Capt.
Curtiss' big force pump, just completed
for Waterloo. Arriving just before the
dinner hour, the party were in the best
possible condition to test the hospitality
of mine host of the Swift House. We
wish to note in passing that Mr.. Swift is
equal to his calling, and that a better
kept and more agreeable stopping place
than the Swift House, Waterloo, has not
been discovered in our travels in Iowa.
Finding that the trial was not to come off
till late in the afternoon, We took look
around the city Although we found the
streets comparatively dcserted-on &C
count ofharvest time ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
are not wanting signs Of progress and
improvement. We noticed one large
block in course of erection on the east
side, and were shown number of fine
dwellings which have been built this
season. The number we were told is
over one hundred OF course we drop
ped in upon our friends of the Courier
and Reporter, and found them serene and
happy. Aldrich is at home again in the
chair editorial, and with Woodruff is
making the Courier a strong lever of pub
lie opinion. We found that sharp para
graphist, Shannon of the Reporter, up to
his eyes in copy, and scratching desper-
atcly, just as genial and just as editorial
ly independent as ever He is keeping
the Reporter on the top shelf of journal
ism.
The afternoon train from the west
brought another municipal delegation
from Waverly, among whom were our
! friends Fitchthorn and Maynard, of the
Republican and Independent, Capt. Lu-
cas-, J. Rosenbaum, S. II. Curtis, Tanner,
Aldrich, FORMER, and others.
The big pump is located in the base
ment of the mill, at the east end of the
bridge, in position to be attached to
one or more Of the water wheels At 6
o'clock hose was attached to it at four
openings, and when all ready, the ma
chinery was started and the four streams
of water were at first thrown nearly $50
feet on the level, and afterwards over the
high roof of the mill. So far the trial
was satisfactory to all who witnessed it,
but at this point, when about to test its
power to force water through long line
of hose, a break occurred, and the trial
was ended Capt Curtiss afterwards ex-
planned to the visitors the principles OF
his pump and gave some interesting
statements regarding its capacity. He
has full faith that it will furnish all the
facilities necessary flor the extinguish
ment of fires in cities of moderate size and
at but a 1.-THE of the cost of the means
ordinarily employed.
At 10 o'clock p NJ the party started
for home, arriving in good condition, much
pleased with the trip and the courtesy
} tended to them by the citizens and au
thorities Of Waterloo,

THE Mission WORK.-Hon. John W.
Jones, formerly State Treasurer Of Iowa.
now Harlan missionary to the bcnighted
region of Northern Iowa, was in this city
yesterday pursuing his allotted work. He
found the field ample but not promising
of rich results as he confessed before his
departure just how many of these
proseEters our high minded Senator has
sent around in the State to watch the
primary elections and promise place for
influence it is not possible to determine,
but it is safe to say that none Of them
will have much to bring to their master
from their glcanings in northern Iowa.

WHEN PAID-Our readers will observe
by the extract from the Fayette Union
in another place, that distinct provision
in the arrangement or contract entered
into with the B., c. r. & NJ. II. II. Co,
by the Fayette people, is to the effect
that no part of the local aid raised by
tax or otherwise is to be paid to the
company, until the road is in operation
through the township in which such aid
is voted or subscribed. This is an i'm
portant considerat. on, and as the COM
pany will undoubtedly accord the same
terms to us, it will induce many to vote
the tax who otherwise would not In
this there is no risk. If the company
should grade a portion or the whole of
the road and then stop, they will do so
at their own expense.

COMPETITION. would be possible to
multiply almost indefinitely, instances of
benefits to communities arising from rail-
road competition They have been very
apparent TO all who cared to note them
during the past few months in the con-
trast between our neighboring towns on
the Cedar, with competing railroads, and
our city with but one road. Cedar Falls
claims to have saved in freights during
the past six months over 10000, by rea-
son of the competition between the Bur
lington road and the Illinois Central
Waterloo has as good or a better showing
The greater portion of this money has
gone into the pockets Of the farmer,
through which it will undoubtedly find
its way to that Of every member OF the
community. Those towns have been ableto
offer inducements to farmers in our own
county which has attracted to them quite
a share of our most valuable trade. The
people of Fairbank, for instance. have been
going to Waterloo instead, as formerly,
coming to Independence to market grain,
The cause, and the only cause, for this
is the fact that at Waterloo they found
two railroads, choice Of routes, compe-
tition, and consequently, higher prices,
while here they would have been COM
PEELED to submit to the terms imposed by
our one railroad, without competition to
modify those demands. Where they sold
their grain they bought their supplies,
and the consequence is they have little
occasion to come to our town. We are
aware that at present this competition at
Cedar Falls and Waterloo is stopped by
an arrangement between the companies,
and high freights again are the rule, but
the tenure of this arrangement is very
uncertain. The interests of the roads
are antagonistic, and it may be but a
week or Il month before this antagonism
may break out in open warfare and the
people again reap the benefits of it.
Striking instances of the effects of com
petition come to our knowledge almost
every day For instance, Mr.. Webb, Of
the egg and butter depot, down street,
informed us that while he has to pay 90
cents per hundred on frcights in his line
from Independence to Chicago, the rates
on the same articles from Omaha to Chi
cago is so cents per hundred. We know
that there is always discount in favor
of through freights, but nevertheless,
large share of the reduction is due to
competition. Our people will do well to
thoroughly investigate this and kindred
questions before making up their minds
that they do not need more railroads.
