Sid Shanlaub’s Electric Railroad.

Morocco Courier. The question of an electric railway between St. Mary and Rensselaer, via Morocco and Mt. Ayr, has been qnite freely discussed by our people in the past few days. All are agreed as to the benefits to be derived from the road, and the leading business men have even reached that stage where they have expressed a willingness to pqt up their good money as a token of their sincerity in the matter. The Courier has frequently called attention to the importance of an electric railway over the above mentioned route —in fact it claims to be the originator of the scheme and believes that the road will some day be bnilt.
