decided TO subscribe coal land as stock
said land to be turned over to the
company IA soon as the cars should
be running to Marysville, provided
they did so within certrin time.
The coal under the land Is to be sub

RAILROAD SoRTH.--A correspond
ent thus writes TO the Monroe Tran
scrH,t:
Being one that believes that all men
look TO their own interests and should
In fair way, and while there 10 so
much said about the costs OF getting
our produce to the markets, let US rea-
son with ourselves. We have no other
means from the central part of Iowa,
except the railroads. This being true
let US look to the interests Of the pro-
ducers through the central part Of
Iowa. am not a railroad man any
farther than my interest to get my
wheat to market as cheap IS L can.
Looking at the transportation ques-
ti1n fairly, think that the competi-
ton between cities Is harder to con-
troll by monopolies than railroads are,
and from the cost of building railroads
which the producer pays large share
Of, believe narrow guage railroad
running from the northwestern part
Of Iowa to st. Louis would build up a
com petition between st. Louis and
Chicago, and the Ohio river and the
northern lakes, and New York against
New Orleans. After looking over the
country / believe 1t would pay us to
look after the enterprise now exciting
the minds OF many from st. Louis to
Abba, Knoxville, etc. Now the I. NJ.
Il N. p. railroad line is located from
Red Rock to Monroe, Newton, Neva-
da, Webster City, and thence north
west to the Minnesota line, with
81, 1913, 1873 good subsidies. In addition
to this there are 200 acres of land in
Jasper county, and the road graded
from Monroe to Newton, and the piles
driven for the bridges, and about
SI1 600 worth Of ties on the line.
Now take the labor that has been
done on the A. X. d d. road, and the
subsidies of the /. NJ. Il N. +. road
and that Of the A. X. & ID. together
with the labor done, Is inducements
for this line to be built. And then !
learn that the Baltimore d Ohio, is
backing up a narrow guage project
from the east line Of Illinois to the
Mississippi at Keithsburg, thence to
Des Moines, there to connect with the
Sioux City road, which would make
two competing lines through the best
part Of the State, and that part which
can furnish more coal rock, timber and
produce for transportation than any
other lines that could be laid through
the State. let them be what guage they
may. 1t would give Iowa a great adj
vantage of transportation, and add to
it's advantages of the choice of mar
kets.
Mr. Editor, let Jasper county work
for the completion Of those lines, as
competition Is the life Of oil business
and the only safeguard against monop-
olies. With those enterprises i would
be content with my farm. Ii.
