The Opinion of those Right on
the Ground.
UasoUgat Testimony in Foror Of ne
OIL ReliuJle" North Vest"

J We don't give this for du .fdit acconiptls, but
II is very strongly rumored that Cedar Rapids
| 10 70 be the HALFWAY station between chicago
and Council Bluffs.
III this is to be, and some experiments have
| been made to that end, we suppose II Is on &C
count OF the superior condition OF the road. A
| trip ton the steel rallied and we'll balasted road
is not any more now, II as much, wear and tear
| on the employees and machinery to train from
Chicago TO Cedar Rapids, 218 miles, as 1t was
on the iron rails from Chicago to Clinton, 1873
miles, In the olden time.
II is not necessary for us to say that the e..
d N. w. Ry Is a first class road in every partic-
lar that il rides as easy las sitting in rocking
chair, that its coaches are parlors, that its en-
ployes are the most polite and affable gentle
men the travelling public can meet or will meet
In life time OF travel-the esprit de corps OF
the employees, if we may say so, ID at a high
standard. We say we need not say this In
newspaper, il is self evident to every traveller
ON the road. But in the future these are to be
increased; we suppose the speed will be increas-
ed, and, if possible the superb trains will be
more superb There Is to be no train more com
plete, either for comfort or safety leave the
worlds commercial metropolis for the Golden
Gate, than the great trains on the Chicago d
North Western Railway-the only company run
ming out OF Chicago that has a road 80 reliable
that:they are not afraid to run at any speed ca
pable OF being attained by engines OF the most
improved construction, run with the hand OF
iron nerve, and a head OF brains, without any
fear OF accident or inconvenience.
Every employe on the road feels a personal
interest in the North Western Railway-its the
clipper" road In the West, and 30 far as any
thing he can do it will continue 80 to be.
This Is the Trans-C Continental link from the
Great Lakes to the Great Missouri River,
The old-time traveller speaks in high glee OF
the lease and comfort" Of these days OF steel
in contrast with the pioneer days OF this pio-
neer road in the days OF iron. The comforts
OF travel OF tho North-W Western Railway are in
every travel rs mouth from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. 1t mast be proud compliment to the
efficient management. and that Is the reason
every officer or employee feels 30 happy in
obliging.
1t is with pride we mention these things and
join the general shout along the line, Hurrah
for the sod Reliable. Cedar Rapids Repub-
