When In not the very far distance, the government will take over the ownership and control of railroads, tae two division stations of Chadron and Alliance will be com bined In one division and that divis ion at Crawford. The two fovmer will dwindle down Into passing sta tions and Crawford will advance into the class of 10 000 population cities and even greater. Then goodbye to the present Inflated Ideas .of our sis ter cities of a few miles to the south and northeast as to tneir future greatness. .3. Shadows of dead men Stand by the wall.
