The LINDERMAN HOTEL was built in 1881 by a Stock Company. The 
amount of stock subscribed being $16,000, with $10,000 borrowed capital, 
making a total cost of $26,000. Beyond a doubt it was the finest hotel 
building in Western Iowa, and stock holders and citizens of our county 
in general referred to it as the monument of our county. The loss 
to Stock Holders will be about 50 per cent, as the insurance will 
pay off the mortgage. Following is a list of Stockholders with the

SOURCE: Iowa Journal of History and Politics - 1928; 
Pages 47 - 48;  IOWA AND SOUTHWESTERN RAILROAD 
On several occasions during the railroad building epoch in southwestern 
Iowa, College Springs, a thriving inland village in Page County, missed 
the boom of securing railroad facilities by a narrow margin. In fact, 
one railroad bearing the name of the town, the "Clarinda - College 
Springs - and Southwestern" (C.C.S.&SW.RR), was built and is today 
(1928) operated as a part of the "Burlington" system, never getting 
nearer to College Springs than six miles. Naturally the citizens of 
College Springs felt the need of direct railroad connections with 
the outside world and from the beginning were ambitious to secure 
a railroad of their own. Many citizens of Clarinda had also always 
felt that their city was handicapped materially by the fact that they 
had no line  competing with the "Burlington" and that an irreparable 
mistake had been made when the old "Clarinda and St. Louis" (C.&S.T. 
RR) was allowed to go inner in 1890. They were, therefore, eager to 
assist in the construction of a line connecting their city with the 
"Wabash" (W.RR) at Blanchard via College Springs.

This line was built in 1912 and 1913. SUGGART and BARNES Brothers 
of Des Moines, Iowa performed the grading and the firm of ABLES and 
TAUSSIG of St. Louis, Mo. furnished most of the ties and lumber. They 
filed a "Mechanics Lien" for the money due them upon the completion 
of the line. The Company was not able to satisfy this Lien, and ABLES 
and TAUSSIG commenced foreclosure proceedings and secured a judgment 
against the line in the U. S. District Court of the Southern District 
of Iowa. 
Execution was issued on 24 April, 1915, and the U. S. Marshal sold 
all the property of the line, excepting some of the equipment which 
was specifically excepted in the bid, for the sum of $ 20,000, were 
certificates being issued to SUGGART and BARNES Brothers with a redemption 
period of one year.

Before the year of redemption expired of 24 April, 1916, these Certificates 
were assigned to the Western Tie and Timber Company of St. Louis, 
Mo. Later the Western Tie & Lumber Co., sold the property to: 
   W. S. FARQUHAR; 
   J.W. McKINLEY; 
   I. H. TAGGART; 
   G.W. RICHARDSON; 
   A. A. BERRY;   <----- 
   A.M. ABBOT; 
   A.F. GALLOWAY; and 
   WILLIAM ORR, as individuals.

On 26 Dec. 1916, an execution was issued upon a judgment rendered 
on a third "Mechanics' Lien" and all of the property of the "Iowa 
and Southwestern Railway Company" that was not sold under the sale 
of 24 April, 1915, was disposed of at this time, leaving the line 
from this date with neither property nor assets. Operation of trains 
ceased on 11 Dec. 1916, the line being abandoned and dismantled the 
following year.
College Springs was thus deprived of railroad advantages, perhaps 
for all time to come, and Clarinda's ambitions of maintaining direct 
railroad connections with the "Wabash" were again blasted.
