The extension of tho Union Pacific's, line to Goring will no doubt have some influence on the Burlington building its Platte valley line.

They found plenty of feed in tho hands of farmers at satis factory prices. There is no doubt that the Union Pacific will entor the Goring country in time to handle the coming soaBon's crop. Messrs.

Nichols, Sterling, Col. 1 Shop and Road News. Gross earnings of all railroads of the country for last month showed a big increase over December, 1009, tho total amounting to $39,588,047, which is a gain over seven par cent.

Satur day night he was given tho Knight Tomplnr degree at the Masonic hall. Mr. Barnhart now holds a good position in the mnstor mechanic's office at Cheyenne. When the local passenger train came in from the east one evening last week n brown hen of the Wyandotte strain was perched on the trucks of the chair car. The trainmen said the fowl was first discovered just out of Omaha, and refused to be disturbed at the many atops made in reaching this terminal. Upon arrival here the hen was taken in charge by an employe. Railroad gossip at this terminal is to the effect that the Union Pacific will not do anything this year in the way of double-tracking between Julesburg and Sidney, but that somo work in that line may be dono between Sidney- and Chey enne. It is claimed that the traffic be tween Julesburg and Sidney does' not really call for a double-track, as much of it is diverted at Julesburg, while at Sidney it is. neccsBary to cut up the westbound trains into lighter ones, thus making a greater number of trains. The sum of two dollars and sixteen cents forms the basis of a suit brought by the Pennsylvania railroad company against a man who refused to pay his fare because he was not provided with a scat on the train on which he traveled. Tho case is regarded as a test case and is interesting accordingly. A bill in troduced iqto the Nebraska senate would allow the railway or streetcar company one-fifth of tho regular fare in case of failure to provide a passenger with a seat. "The Dollar Process." The most delightful of all last sea- wns's musical comedy successes, "The Dollar Princess," comes to the Keith theatre next Saturday evening after a record of ten months of crowded houses and uninterrupted popularity in Now York. Not since "Tho Merry Widow" has there been a musical piece so full of mirth, beautiful lyrics and graceful wnltzos. "The Dollar Princess" deals with the affairs of the eccentric John Cowdor, president of tho American Coal Trust, lie has a theory that money-hunting foreign noblemen should be taught to work and therefore engages poor but titled people for his servants, paying them fabulous salaries. His butler is a baron and his head groom a French marquis. Cowder is a widower and his brother and nephew palm off Olga Tartaroff, a lady Hon tamer on the old man. The coal king believes she is a Russian countess and announces his engagement to her. Alice, his daugh ter, is furious but sho is in lovo with Freddy Smythe a young Englishman whom she employes as her private sec retary and her ingenuity in considering her father's consent to her marriage with Freddy Smythe and exposing the shameless Olga makes an extremely amusing plot.
