Never having seen anything from
this thriving city in your interesting
country correspondence, | take the
liberty of sending you few lines
This city. is located eighty miles west
of Burlington, on the Chicago, Bur-
liDgton and Quincy route TO the Pa
ihc coast (the Burlington and Mis-
souri, River Railroad). The Des
Moines Valley and Keokuk Railroad,
the Central Railroad of Iowa, and the
st. Louis, Kansas City aud Northern
Railway all juncture at this point,
making one of the greatest railroad
centers in the State of Iowa. The
town lies on the Des Moines river. and
is in the center of one of the finest
aud most fertile farming regions of
the entire West, with one of the best
watcr-powers in the State, which ia
now being for the first time improved
by company of local capitalists. EN-
tonsivo coal deposits have recently
been discovered, and are being sue
cesstully mined and operated by a
company made up wholly OF home
capital. These local advantages, and
a population of 1900 or 5000, possess
ing the cardinal requisites of intelli-
gcnce, energy and industry, make one
of the liveliest and most promising
young cities west OF Chicago. So
many railroads ccntering here .natur-
ally make il a good wholesale market
for smaller towns--which advantage
is being improved. Several other ex-
tensiye merchants occupy their own
and have extensive stocks.
Numerous private and public build
ings have been erected the past season
among them school building of
architecture and conveniences.
