MARROW GAuGE.-We observe
that the railway project known as the
peoples Narrow Guage," concern
ing which we published no end of
struck" few years ago, has been
enjoying revival. The route desig-
mated by the articles Of incorpora-
ton made Davenport the initial point,
thence running westerly between the
c., r. l. Il p, and the Mississippi
through the coal fields of Buffalo and
Blue Grass townships, some fifteen or
twenty miles west OF Davenport
crossing the railroad just mentioned
ut MISUNDERSTANDING thence on an
old partly graded and abandoned line
to Upton, in Cedar county, thence to
Cedar Bluffs in the same county,
reaching the river at that place on
grade not exceeding fifty feet to the
mile, at crossing superior to any on
that river south Of Cedar Falls, thence
to Western, about ten miles south
west from Cedar Rapids, crossing the
c. & N. w. some Is or 20 miles west
of Cedar Rapids, thence up Snlt
creek and Spring creek to Iowa river
and Cedar Falls.
A narrow guage railroad on this
route would be OF inestimable benefit
to the country traversed, and could
hardly fail to be remuneratiye to its
owners. We are glad to see the pro-
iect revived and would be much
more glad to see it prosecuted to a
successful termination. But We OBJ
serve that at meeting of the Direct
ors, held last Thursday at Cedar Rap
ids, delegation from Muscatine pre-
sented a resolution changing the
route from as above indicated, so that
it should run from Cedar Bluffs to
Moscow and thence to Muscatine.
Such change would defeat one of
the great objects of the road-cheap
coal from the immense banks near
Davenport-and would make it com
paratiyely worthless to Cedar county.
The resolution is to be voted upon at
the next meeting of the company,
when we hope Cedar, ic she has any
regard for her interests, may be duly
represented.

when George started for Wilton and

ridden the horse as far as he pleased,
and then turned him loose.

"THE BEER QUESTION is the COM
mon appellation for the conflict that
under our present laws 50 often arises
at the spring election in Iowa towns.
BY "The Beer Question is meant
the question as to whether saloons
shall be licensed to open their doors
wherever they will, or whether they
shall be, with all their concomitants,
banished from the corporate limits of
the town. This is matter that the
citizens of Upton have by vote de-
cided again and again, and we did
not apprehend that it would be in
any way put in issue at our approach

in the Conservative newspaper, we
have as yet seen or heard nothing to
indicate that such will be the case,
and it surely does not, under the cir
cumstarces, appear as if it need be,
or should be. Our people have tried
both plans. They know by expert
ence whether it is better for the or
der and good repute of the town, as
we'll as for the morals of the young
men and boys, to have half dozen
of these places conveniently located
along our business streets, or to have
the one Or two that survive such
treatment put AS far away as the law
will permit--outside the limits Of the
village. Knowing this, the question
has been, as we said, more than once
decided, and all parties concerned
have conformed to the decision--in
which facts will be found our reasons
for supposing that 1t would not now
be made an issue. and for further
supposing that if it was made one,
and the situation generally under
stood, it would be decided just as

while as every one knows, fifty pupils

while as every one knows, fifty pupils
are as many as any one teacher can
attend to with the greatest efficiency.
Our school house was builded twenty
years ago, (the newest part very
poorly built at that and actually
thought by several who have ex.
amined it to be unsafe, and lacks
ventilation, arrangement, and in fact,
all the modern conveniences, 10 say
nothing of elcgances. 1t has no
grounds to speak of, the children be-
ing turned out of the house literally
into the street. 1t is not in the most
desirable part of town, especially in
view of the railroad depot which will
soon be near neighbor and make it
more valuable for factory or = ware
house than for school purposes. To
sum the matter up, the Upton school
house is decidedly behind tie times
and behind any town Of equal size
and importance that we know Of in
the State. OF course it could be
made to do a little longer, and many,
no doubt. will think this the better
way. Perhaps it is, but it appears
to us that when Upton, after having
been stagnaut for number Of long
wears, has at last taken new lease
of life and confidently looks forward
to accessons both in business and
population, il is just the right time to
star. enterprises which will assist in
that direction, and which will also he
imperatively needed should our cx-
pectatons be fulfilled.
Should the proposed issue cf bonds
be authorized, tax levy OF five
mills each year for five years will paw
the whole cxpense--it being under
stood that while the bonds are drawn
to run for ten years it is at the option
Of the District to redeem them soon
er if it SO desires. Again, should the
vote be favorable, the selection of the
proper location and careful construc-
ton Of a building would probably
make it two years at least before it
would be ready for occupancy. This
should be remembered by those who
think the time for this move has not
yet come. To be ever done, be-
ginning must be made, and why not
now:s A good new school building,
with a good school IN it, will not only
be the pride of those already here and
enjoying its advantages, but it will
also be the best recommendation the
town could possibly have to the
thousands Of Eastern men who every
year are travelling through iowa
seeking home.
The Board of Directors has, as we
understand the matter, been lead to
submit this question in the belief
that many, if not majority Of our
citizens, were in favor Of the incep-
ton Of such an enterprise at this
time. A vote alone can decide how
this is, and the vote ariU decide. 1t
is matter of great Importance to che
District and every voter should be
represented at the election, two
weeks from next Monday.
