AUSTIN AND THE NEW RAILROAD.

The following appears as a special
rom Austin to the st. Paul Day, under
date of Dec. Goth:
1t has just leaked out here that on last
Sunday week gentleman arrived in the
city, who it is now said was represen-
tative Of the Illinois Central railway
company. He left on the following
Monday, after having inspected the
Minnesota & Northwestern road at this
point. Directly after his departure it
was stated on good authority that he was
looking over the new line to report its
condition and the character of the coun-
try it traverses through to the Illinois
Central, and if the report is favorable
the Central will at once buy the road.
Whether these rumors are true or not.
real estate has taken boom, and the
business men already talk of better
times in the near future.
1t is not known where the repair shops
will be located, but it is likely at the
next meeting of the council, the citizens
Of Austin will offer bonus to the Min
nesota Il Northwestern to have them at
|sthis place. More money has been ex-
pended in construction than at any other
point on the line. The road crosses the
Cedar river in two places. The north
bridge will be an iron one $50 feet long,
| and the south one 12O, the material Of
which has not been decided on yet, but
it will be located 800 feet west of the
county bridge. The construction work
was very hard from this place to Dodge
Center, the grade is five-tenths to the
hundred after cut of eight feet. The
earth is hard clay, too soft to blast and
too hard to shovel, SO it is necessary to
use the pick. Work on the bridges will
begin this winter, and what grading re-
mains to be finished at DODGE Center
will he completed early in the spring.
when rails will be laid and trains run
ming by june LIST.
Austin is alive for the opening of the
rev road, and early spring will see q
busy scene here when work is resumed
on this line.

MOWER COUNTY.

This county is one of the southern tier,
lying next west of Fillmore and south Of
Olmsted and Dodge. Freedom forms its
western boundary. 1t is twenty-four
miles long, from north to south, and
thirty miles wide. Its surface is an I'm
dulating prairie in the eastern and south
ern portions, but somewhat fat in the
central and northwestern sections. There
are no large streams in the county, but
numerous small creeks and rivulets. those
in the northeastern part forming the head
waters of Root river, and in the western
of Red Cedar river, while the tributaries
of upper Iowa river drain the southern
tier of townships. Mower county is
more elevated than either of those preti
ously named. The high plain near the
center being about 1,412 feet above the
level of the sea, and its lowest portion,
out Of the valleys of the streams. nowhere
less than I. $50, giving it mean elevation
approximating 1900 feet. The soil is
drift, of dark color. and is mixed
clayey and sandy loan, the clay FREEDOM
mating on the lower grounds. Every
part of the county has good drainage,
and there are nine considerable water
powers, operating several Touring mills,
with an aggregate capacity of about 400
barrels per day. Two of the powers are
not now in use. There are no lakes in
this county, and the only forests consist
of fringes of timber along the streams
and groves in the highlands. Some Of
these, however, have considerable extent,
and burr and black oak, elm, willow,
ironwood, cottonwood, cherry, white
ash, hickory, sugar maple. black ash,
slippery elm and some other varieties of
timber are found here Good brick clay
is obtained in most parts of the county,
and in places there arc considerable de-
posts suitable for pottery. Along the
course Of some of the deeper streams
there are exposures of rock, and from
several quaries good quality of building
stone is obtained. in the eastern and
central portions of the county strata OF
peat is found at little distance below
the surface, and IN digging wells in sever.
al places, wood has been found at various
depths from twenty to sixty feet below
the surface. It was thought to be pine
or cedar and burned we'll after drying.
The soil of every part of the county il
exceedingly rich, as will be seen by refer
ence to the agricultural statistics at the
