lows:
~ Surveying on the proposed Missouri
d Mississippi divide l,nr is going OF in

The line is proposed to extend from st .
Louis to Jamestown. OAK. using the
Wabasl, thr1ugh Moberly and Alba rs
far AS Des Mnines. The proprietors are
confident Of beginning work next
spring.
This side of DesMoines, we under
stand, the DesMoines Northwestern
will b- used, and the road pushed on
tn eugh Spirit Lake, Worthington,
Watertewn, Oak, and on northwest,
striking the Jim river seme distance
this side of jamestown, and thence to
the latter place, tapping the Northern
Pacific. 1t will undoubtedly he one of
tie greatest and most important dag

systems of the West, the Northwest

Now if the Sauk Centre Southern,
which is pointing ia this direction,
should come ia on us from the north,
Worthingtom will certainly he the rail

toms aud climate of the mountains.'
