GREAT WESTERN'S OPTIONS
Ilelli-f Tlint Humor of Imllnn Creck
llnute In Only n ltru
i:tntr Mime.
Interest In the building of the Great
Western railroad Into Council Bluffs has
born rovlved by tho announcement thnt the
real citato firm ot arornthlelds & Everest
bits been employed by the railroad company
to secure options on residence property
along the north bank of Indian creek from
Frank street to tho Illinois Central depot.
The options call for tho purchase of tho
property January 1,
The securing of theso options Is taken to
Indicate that the Orcat Western Intends to
use the Indian creek route through this
city. The cost of a right-of-way along
this route would be Immense and there aro
pcoplo who express the opinion that tho
Great Western will never build along tho
creek, but that Its securing options along
the creek Is simply n ruse to cover up Us
real routo In order that It may secure Its
right-of-way without the property being
boomed to ruinous prices. It Is believed
tho (Ireat Wetsern will follow the plnn of
the Illinois Central and secure the greater
part of Its right-of-way through the city
through ngents purchasing tho property In
their own names. Tho Illinois Central man
nged to buy tho greater part of Its rlght-of-way
In this manner nt ordinary prices. As
soon, however, as It became known that a
railroad wnB nfter tho property lots along
the proposed right-of-way lncrcnsed bov
