The Burlington road has donated § 5,000 to
the widow of C. G. Wilson , who lost his life
in the service of the company as superintend
ent of its Iowa lines. This act of generosity
will be applauded heaitily by railroad men ,
as well as the public , and it is to be hoped
the company will exhibit equal generosity
toward the widows of section men , switch
men and trainmen whose husbands may lose
their lives in its service.
Now we have the Pueblo & Duluth railroad
again ! One of our citizens is in receipt of a
letter from the officials of the above-named
road saying that the officers of the company
would visit this county within 10 days to see
what support Ctilbertson and the people on
the route would give the road. Moie than
3100,000 have been voted in aid of this line
between the Platte and Sioux City , and we
are credibly informed that if Gosper and
Hitchcock counties , together with the coun
try southwest , will now come to the front
and assist in this work , that the grading will
be in operation in a few months at least.
Looking at it from our standpoint , we can
say that Culbertson will donate liberally to
wards this great enterprise , and we have no
doubt but that Blackwood , Logan and Drift
wood precincts will do their share. We want
a competing line of railroad , and now that
an opportunity offers , we believe that our
citizens will offer as liberal inducements to
secure it as those upon any other contem
plated route. Put us down as being in favor
of the road. Culbertson Republican.
In one respect the New York Tribune is on
the right way. It says : "Thecause of good
roads goes marching on. There is no poli
tics in it , consequently when people get tired
of discussing the presidential canvass in all
of the sharp disagreements which that exer
cise implies they can get together and relieve
the strain , republicans , democrats , and the
rest , on the good road issue.
