THE NJ. & y. w. ELsEwHERE.-1t
will be Of interest to our readers to sec
what Mr. Clancy and Mr.. O'Brien
said to the people elsewhere; and we
therefore clip from the Herald of last
week the following paragraphs from
its account of the large meeting held
in this interest at Oskaloosa on the
evening OF the 9Th:
The meeting was addressed by
Messrs. Bird, O'Brien and Clancy,
who showed conclusively that the
Pennsylvania Central, the most pow
erful corporation on the Continent,
was backing the project; and they had
sent their agent o. Brien over the line
that he might make an intelligent re-
port from personal observation, show
ing just what could be done, and form
ing some estimate OF the cost OF the
line, what aid could be raised, etc.
They stated that the Company would
require about $500 900 from Oskaloosa
to Keithsburg; that the whole country
along the line was awakened to the
importance of the subject, and every
community doing its best for aid to
the enterprise. 1t is intended and ex-
pected To build this line from Keiths
burg, Ills, ION the Mississippi, river
below New Boston, to Wapello,
Louisa county, thence to Brighton;
through the lower tier Of townships
in KeOkuk county to Fremont i'll
Cedar Up, Mallaska Co.; thence to
Oskaloosa. From here it strikes west
through this tier Of counties by the
most direct western route to Council
Bluffs, where it connects with the
Union Pacific road, now also under
the control of the Pennsylvania Cen
trial; hence the only link wanting to
give that road one unbroken line from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, IS this
break OF 200 miles. : After the
gentlemen representing the Road had
spoken, they asked our citizens to say
what they thought Of the matter,
which they did quite freely, all cX-
pressing confidence in the matter, and
promising their aid and their money
to carry it on President Bird said
that not n cent of money would be
asked until the cars were running to
our city, and then only one-half the
sum subscribed; the balance being
payable one year after that time.
The time set for the cars to run TO the
city was Nov. |. next.
A Committee was appointed to cir
culate subscription papers, and to re-
port at meeting on the 18th inst.

Union Township, who are to vote on
the 81 of next month on the questio II
Of five per cent. Tax in aid of the l..

the eminently sensible plan of debat-
ing the subject, pro and con, at meet
ings held for the purpose in the sew
eral Schoolhouses in the Township.

"Tax men, have actually taken a

Farmers cannot afford to haul the corn

Taking this Sub District us n fail
average they conclude that in the
seven Sub Districts Of the Township
there are now - 900 bushels of surplus
corn lying dead and practically un'
marketable. In the same way they
ascertain That there are 5,O0D bushels
Of surplus wheat now in the Township
ready for shipment. They count the
cost of hauling from. say n centra

A WOMAN OF GRIT.-A lady living
in Pleasantville, l. miles from here,
started down from there on foot last
Friday, partly to see about some bust
ness matters and partly to attend Mrs.
Mansfield's Lecture here that even
ing. The next day she started back
on foot. In speaking about it she re-
marked that it really wasn't any
harder work to walk that distance
than to do washing-and perhaps
t t ifut rnust tbr admitted, though it GER
tainly does require more grit.

THEIR STATEMENTs.-In our report
of the Railroad meeting held at Stone
& Ayres, Office last week "Wednesday,
we had not time or space to give all
the statements made by Mr.. Clancy
and Mr.. O'Brien; and we therefore
add herewith q portion of their re-
marks, from shorthand notes taken
at the time:
Mr.. Clancy said it was the inten-
ton to put the Mississippi and North
western Road through as fast as posi-
BILE. The Pennsylvania Central Com
pany desires to know about how much
BUSINESS the Road will do, and how
much local aid can be raised. Esti-
mates have already been made Of the
Road from Keithsburg to Oskaloosa
"a miles, ut about S., 900 per mile to
make the road-bed ready for the ties.
The Penn'a Central Company will
probably take the contract for the
construction of that portion Of the
line for about $780, 900, and possibly
less. A proportionate amount will be
! required for the rest of the line, and
the people of this County are expected
| to bear their part of the expenses. 1t
/ is not desired that we should take i'm
mediate action, however, further than
to keep the subject alive and before
the people. The Road will probably
be built rs far west us the intersection
with the Des Moines Valley Railroad
/ this year. All that can be secured in
the way of taxes along the line should
be secured before the tax law is re.
pealed. Taxes i'm aid of the enterprise
have already been voted along a good
portion, and are likely to be the
rest of the way.
Mr.. O'Brien, Civil Engineer sent by
the Penn'a Central Company to ex-
anime and report upon this line, said
that the NJ. d n. w. Company has
for some time been in negotiation with
the Penn'a Central Co.; and Mr.
Thompson, the Pres't OF the latte,
Company, has said that if the repre-
sensations made to him prove correc
his Company will take hold of thil
line and build it. So far, these repre-
sensations have been more than filled

that unless the anti-Tax men can dis
pltc the facts, we do not see how they
can get around the argument that the
Farmers have to pay for Railroad
every year while they don't have the
Road, and that therefore it is better
for them TO pay for Road once in
such a way that they will have a
Road hereafter
