Tho Sioux Oity Trllmno of rocont dato
contains railroad news in which Norfolk
Is again nit ntionod its a connecting link
Tho oflloials of tho Groat Northern Ex
press company which although under
indopoudeut managoniont made a trip
to O Nolll over tho Paoitlc Short Lino to
arrange for tho iufitallation of that com
panys business over that route This is
taken to signify that tho Great Northern
railway will or has absorbed tho Short
Iiino It publishes a rumor in connec
tion therewith that Mr Hill will ox
tond tho road to n connection with tho
Union Pacific probably at Norfolk Nob
Tho Sunday State Journal also con
tains some railroad l unions of interest to
people along tho lino of tho Elkhorn
I It says many rumors have been startod
to tho offeot that tho Northwostoru ami
Union Pacific would soon sever trafllo
agreomouts oxlstiug botwoou tho Hues
tut tho statement has not been believed
It winds up with a rumor of a far differ-
mt nature
It is now stated that tho Union Pa
cific and Northwestern will soon roach a
closer trafllo ugroomout one in which
the Northwestern will bo porinittod to
xuu its own trains through from Chicago
to Ogdou using tho Uuiou Pacific traoks
on a miloago basis but conducting its
business as separately as though tho
trains ran ovor soparato tracks In sup
port of this Ktatomout tho
nient iB made that tho Northwostoru has
pleased a fine otlice building in Salt Lako
City and that it will outer that territory
on n business campaign that will sur
prise some of tho other roads During
the past few weeks O A CalruB assist
ant general passenger agent of the
Northwestern has madn several trips to
Salt Lake Oity from Chicago relative to
the now quarters
Au Omaha railroad man sizing up
tho situation gives tho followiug reasons
why tho Uuiou Pacific will permit its
iHisiuess to be divided in this manner
Dont you seo that tho Northwest
ern by its Elkhorn lino has a road to
-Casper Wyo whloh it can iu a vory
few months push on west as far as the
Union Pacific now ruus aud just as
easily get to the Pociflo coast That is
the club which tho Northwostoru holds
ver the Union Pociflo Wheu tho lat-
r
tar kicks over tho tracos all the North
t vestcrn needs to do is to send a party of
oIBcmlB on a hunting trip from Gasper
west and the Uuiou Pacific Immediately
becomes good Wouldnt the Union
Pacific prefer to get tho benefit of a lib
eral mileage from tho Northwestern
rather than to have it build a rival lino
which would cut equally heavy on its
passenger traftio and immeasurably
greater on ita freight trallio
