Postville.Wa Steam Line.

i Railroad rumors are pretty NUMEROUS

present, and YOU can read and lear
about most anything imaginable or
unimaginable from an electric line to
Moneek to an airship line that wonld
enable the old maids to go up and
make love to the man in the moon.
The latest rumor is the possibility of
road from Postville TO Waukon with a
spur from the latter place out TO the
iron mines 1T would seem that a
line of this kind which would give us
communication with the county seat
by twenty-mile route ought to look
good TO Postville folks. Here is what
the Waukon Democrat has to say
about it:

Club last Wednesday evening 60 learn
what inducements Waukon might
offer in the way of aid towards con-
structing railway over route sur

to Postville and connect there with
the Rock Island System. He esti-
mated the cost of construction would
be fully $500, 600 and asked if Waukon
and vicinity could be depended on to
furnish half of this amount if parties
whom he represented would undertake
he building of the line The project
includes branch to the Waukon iron
mines, the entire line to be in opera
ton by July first of next year. He
was assured that if the builders
would issue interest-bearing bonds to
investors in stock, the club would at
once enlist the aid of Waukon citi-
zens and vicinity and endeavor to
| secure their pledge to provide S150. 000
for the project, payable upon compile
tion of the road, in exchange for that
amount of aforesaid bonds. This
proffer impressed Mr. Seymour very
favorably and he departed the follow.

the offer The general comment il
