Tin- business of tho session unusually brief, nntlrely routine and had to do chlolly, If not entirely, with tho problem of maintaining freight and passenger rates throughout the vast coun try traversed by thrso roads. I'orhaps tho most serious problem which presented llsrlf to the railroad men was the Increasing car famine, which at this time taxes the capacity of all tho more Important ronds.

Thcro were no complaints of rate-cutting. Innepli Khiispc I'rcdlilrn. In somo points thcro was a disposition to attach significance to evidence of a Orcat Northern report.

Tho Tribune this morning sayR; Tho statement was made yesterday that James J. lllll would soon ro- tlrn from the president y of the Great Northern railway, which he has held for many years, and that ho would bo succeeded In offlco hy his oldest son, J. N, lllll, who a few days ago was elected first vlco pres ident of tho road. Jafnca J. lllll would probably continue to bo n director of tho Great Northern, It was added, hut ho de sired to bo relieved from the detail work necessarily devolving upon the executive head of the company and especially In view of the fact that he has Just taken up tho dutlos of president of the ) 100,000,000 North ern Securities company. It was said that Mr. Hilt's retirement from tho Great Northern presidency would probably bo followed by his removal to this city as his home, although It was be lieved that he would contlnuo to maintain 6 legal rcsldcnco In St. Paul.

General Manager Illdwell of the Fremont, Elkhorn ft Missouri Valley rnllwny returned yesterday from tho end of tho Verdigris branch, where ho put a force of surveyors' at work platting the new extension Into Niobrara and then west across tho Niobrara river Into Iloyd county. Mr. nidwetl speaks enthusiastically of tho produce possibilities In the region to he tapped by this extension and says that actual construction will begin Just as early next year as the thawing of tho earth will permit. Tho bridge necessary to crost tho Nlo brnra river will be between SOO and i'OO feet In length, but despite this fact and the delay that must ensue before any construc tion can be commenced, Mr. Illdwell Is fairly confident that the Fremont, Elkhorn ft Missouri Valley line will haul crops, cattlo and other produce out of Iloyd county at the close of next fall's harvest. It woh last Wednesday night that Mr. Illdwell took the surveyors up north with him. They went to work tho next day and are establishing, first nf all, tho line from Verdigris to Niobrara, which la the samo county, Knox, nnd Is eleven mllei north and one mile east of Verdigris. The gang will then turn directly west townrd Iloyd county, the cast border of, which Is Just fifteen miles distant. Thn ob jective point Is Lynch, nine miles Inside the comity line on Ponca creek. This thirty five miles of projected railway being enough to keep thn surveyors busy for n tlmo, Mr. Illdwell hastened back to Omaha on his way to Chicago to confer with President Hughltt nnd other officers of the Northwest ern system as regards their further plans. LINE FROM OMAHA TO YANKTON Mnjor INmtoII .Still TnlkN on Mix llnliliy nnil (live lli'nmiiiM for 111 I'liltli. William M. Powell, mayor of Yankton, S. D.; Is In the city, where he will remain for n few days. "I am Bill! talking up n railroad direct from Omaha to Yankton," suld he. "It Is my hobby nnd I will -never ren content until that road Is built. If tho people of Omaha knew of the resources of the Jim river val ley which that road would make tributary to Omaha It would be built next year. At the prefent time all of tho traije of tho southeastern part of South Dakota goes practically to Chicago, with a little going to Sioux City. Thcro are two lines to the oast and both go to Chicago, while the routn to Omaha Is Indirect. "There aro several railroad projects u view- In which Yankton expects to get Into direct communication with the south and west, but none of them hns materialized lit a degreo which will warrant a statement that they aro assured. If some of them are carried out It will mean that Omaha will not only miss the trade of southeast ern Dakota, but that It will lose some of that of the western part which Is now tributary to this city. The line to the Jim river vnlloy would settle this matter for ever and Dakota llvo stock would be found on the Omaha market In numbers which would surprise everyone."
