ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJEcT.-A
letter from Cedar Rapids Published in
the Chicago Journal Of the 10th inst.
set forth In glowing terms the advan.
tages of railroad which 1t thinks
may At once be built. from Davenport
through Upton to Cedar Rapids, .
distance of little over sixty miles.
The many new connections which
direct communication between the
cities named would give to each Of
them in virtue Of the railroads already
built to the other are mainly dwelt
upon as the inducements to the pro-
ject. while the populous and wealthy
country through which the road would
pass il not unmentioned. The Dav-
export papers have copied the letter
aud commented favorably, but we see
no mention of the enterprise 10 the
Cedar Rapids press. The letter in
question. after enumerating the nec-
cessities for and advantages of such a
road. says, 1.-The proposed road will
probably run out for few miles on
the Davenport aud st. Paul Railroad
until the divide Is reached. separating
the waters of the Cedar from the Wap
sipinicon, then take direct course to
Upton, the county seat of Cedar coun
~, aud then through well settled
populous country to Cedar Rapids !"
aud concludes by stating that promi-
nent men Of Cedar Rapids have gone
to New York in the interest Of the
project.
