Ottumwa, January, % ISL.
Mn. EDiroR: If tho history Of the
growth and development 81 western
towns and cities teaches anything
it il this: that II will not do fot any
town however fair its prospects, 70
fall back on the doctrine Of manifest
destiny. In the growth Of cities -
in almost everything else tho saying
holds good "that Providence helps
those who hclp themselves" Those
who wait for something TO turn up--
who wait for improvements to como
of their own accord generally have
to take it out in waiting. As in
private enterprises % with tommu.
mites, they who deserve success By
their sisepless visiIance;ty their an.
firing efforts are the. people Who
win the race and who ochieus success.

Our Cedar Rapids & st. Louis
RailraOd,

We nro tnfOrmeu, rum mn uAloiei
source, that Messrs. Wolf, Carpenter
Il Go. have surrendered the contract
for building this road from this place
to Cedar Rapids; and that if the
vote, on Monday next, is in favor Of
the extension Of the road, q new
contract will be let to the lowest
responsible bidder, for the further
prosecution Of the work. We are
glad to hear this, for it knocks the
last prop from under the anti-tax
men, whose principal argument is
'that if the tax is voted it is tor the
individual benefit OF Wolf, Carpen-
tcr.& Co."
Roll on tho ball, and let the major
ity for the railroad tax be a rousing
one.
