now has three different railroad prop.
ositions in sight, and hopes that one
or more of them will materialize is
very sanguine here. One proposition
is for a.road from Cresco southeast to
this city and on beyond toward
Grundy Center and Marshalltown. A
second is the -inter-urban line being
surveyed between here and Marshall.
town, and the third is the Chicago
Great Western, which now has line
running. from Winona, Mimi, to Usage
in Mitchell couny, north of here.
A corps of surveyors have been at
work for week and have located a
station at what is known as Litho
graph City, west of the Cedar river
and about nine miles from this city
where the rich deposits of Autograph
stone and marble are found in great
abundance, and where the property is
owned by a corporation known as the
Interstate Investment and Develop
ment company, the stock of which is
in the hands of local capitalists. 1t is
said that the Great Western will begin
work on the new extension early in
the spring.

The moral revolution that is now

it was uncommon for officials to be
