RAILROAD MATTERS.
The Wabash surveyors are running
the narrow guage through Lyon coun.
ty, and i: 10 expected the road will be
pushed forward to Rock Rapids at
once. The objective point. now, of
this road Is Sioux Falls, Oak. The
managers Of the diagonal road are at
work very quietly now. Since Wilson
was here from New York the brass
bands and clsquers have been called off.
and there Is less buster and noise.
The most that gets to the public are
accomplished facts. 1t Is quite evi.
dent to q close observer that the pro
ject Is not abandoned or sold out yet.
The Dss Moines & Fort D,dge mana.
gers are making arrangements with
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul to
run passenger trains from this city to
Spirit Lake, to leave here in the even.
ing and arrive at the lake early next
morning. The election Of MIR. Gable
as president of the Rock Island neces-
states another promotion along the
line, according to the rule on that
road. Z. q.

tlnuous limo from Green Bay and the
pinery regions of Wisconsin to Mis-

construction will be easy. John j,
Blair, the railroad king, has volun-
teered 10 furni.h the Iron to lay the
track, and a we'll known civil engi
neer of New York Is ready to take thu
contract for construction.
The Wabash Is hustliup freigh'
through from New York to Iowa
A Car load of fruit left New York or
the evening Of May 20, and arrived
ct Ottumwa ON the morning of June l
or three days and one half from start
ing, which Is the quickest time on re-
cord for ire,gbt trains.
II is reported that negotiations arr
pending for a transfer Of the so'oallst
Diagonal road to tho Central Iowa
and this is more apparent from tn
fact that the Central Iowa official
went over the completed portion o
the Diagonal a few DAYS since from
Msrshs!!town, but the Diagonal folk
deny these rumors. MeansniIe sur
veys are being made and ruosidie
worked up ~1cuthrest cf this point to
ward Nebraska City, and proceeding
for condemnation of wight Of way hav
been commenced, which looks yer
much Us though the original projec
was going through. There is n
question the Central would be please
! to get hold Of Il.
