Another and Yet Another!!

In another place in this issue’ will lie found the facts regarding the incorporation of a new railroad, to cross Jasper county. By the kindness of one of our merchants, we are also able to present some of the facts regarding another new railroad project, which lias Rensselaer as one of its probable objective points. The building of it is said to be a “sure tiling.” The following in regard to it is from the Standard, of Kendaliville, one of the principal towns, upon its line: The Improvement Bureau is in correspondence with the projectors of “the Toledo, Kendall vfile & Rochester Railroad, at Boston, Mass., and are much elated with the outlook and prospects of this company. This company proposes to build the road to Rochester and on to Gilman, 111., and intersect with the Illinois Central. provided some local aid can be secured. This aid is asked to show thnebnfidence~oF the public in the j enterprise as well as the pecuniary advantages. This road would run through Albion, Wolf Lake, IVttshingtoir township, Warsaw, Rochester —and by making a slight detour reach Wiilamac and Rensselaer, mak-! ing live county scat towns, and on southwest to Gilman, 111. The desirability of intersecting the Illinois Central, one of the largest railroad systems, can readily he seen when we consider the speedy transit-of grains Tditt other products Of central and J southern Illinois which this would 1 afford. The projectors ask information of individuals along the line con- | cerning the prospects of securing loj cal aid, their opinion concerning the prospects for business if the road is r built. 1, the... condition of the towns along the line with reference to their importance as markets, etc. To the above Tut: Rei>i;i!Lu:an will add that, although the line of this new projected road, as above described, will, between the towns of of .-Rochester and Gilmair. 111., be identical with that of several other proposed lines, including the Rochester, Rensselaer & St. Louis R. R., we are assured that it is an entirely new project, and has no connection with any of the older enterprises, at all.
