AN INTERESTING
RAILROAD RUMOR
Hamilton Press is Building an All
Line from Niota and Nau-
VOC to keokuk.

Hamilton Press: 1t is rumored that
the Santa Fe system is to change it's
route and cross the Mississippi on a
high bridge at or near this place.
The Santa Fee is not taking any
chances on losing the big benefits to
be derived by the transportation COM
panies from the water power devel-
opment and it looks extremely prob
able that they will erect bridge
and cross here instead of at Fort Mad
ison.
With it's great system 1t would de-
rive immense profits from shipping
should the great dam be built, witch
it undoubtedly will.
Railroads are generally built on
paper or dreamed about, but the
practical facts underlying this rumor
give it a credence not to be overlook
ed.
AS it is now they cross the river al
Fort Madison but by branching of
and coming down this side of the
river to Hamilton and thence across
to Keokuk. They would traverse {
country equally as good as the one
