PEOPLES PULPIT.
Interurban Railways.

It is the wonder of adjoining towns
that Ottumwa has not taken up the
question Of interurbans.
Eldon, although it has the Rock
Island, needs an interurban to Ottum-
wa, and the fine territory one would
run through between here and your
city should not be left unoccupied.
Agency needs it as we'll and the coun-
try between requires it. The grade
is easy and the business would be
great. A company formed in Ottum-
wa could secure subscriptions along
the line sufficient to build
and equip it. 1t only needs
the will and the way, and mon
ey to build it would be easily Sc
cured Although Ottumwa is a rail
road center, it should not let other
cities get ahead of it. feel sure that
if your city would commence it, it
would have the needed help. If the old
20" right of way could be secured.
it would make the cost very little. Let
your commercial club take the matter
up and see what can be done. Eldon
will do it's part, so will Agency. 1t is
with Ottumwa to say what it will do.
Yours, ]. E. Hougland.
