10 TIIE OMAITA DAILY r.EE: TUESDAY, MATtCn 17, 1003. LINK IN BURLINGTON SYSTEM Project to Build from Ahlani to Sioux Citj is BeYived. SURVEYING PARTY STARTS OVER ROUTE Line In Dvslarnvd to Connect Great Rorthern and Rnrlina-foa and Tivp gome Hew Terrl tarr tar HUL Things look bright for the building of branch line from Ashland-to Sioux City by the Burlington this year. Several years ago a line was surveyed, but here the work ceased. This spring ft survey ing party was started out again and a route Is being definitely located. Blnre J. J. Hill baa taken the eontr 1 of the Burlington nothing could be aiore natural than that he should look t. tbla road as an outlet for the Pacific Short line, which la an Isolated road of the Great Northern extending through 150 miles of northeastern Nebraska. At Ha western terminus It connect with the Black Hills line of the Northwestern and runa east to Bloux City. With the building of the branch from Ashland the road would be given an outlet frntn Sioux City over the lines of the Hill system. Mar De1a In Three Months. In speaking of the building of the line, ft prominent Burlington official said: "While wo have heard nothing definite as to tho building of this branch, I am almost cer tain that It will be done. It would not surprise me to hear of Its being begun within throe months. The road has been looking toward 8loux City for several years and the time seems propitious now for something to be done. "The line as contemplated will only be about twenty-five miles longer than other Omaha-Sioux City lines and It will put the Burlington In touch with ft good portion of tho traffic between the two cities. "The country that the line is to pass through Is very productive and will furnish quite a bit ot local business. Ever since talk of our building this Una was started the towns along the route have been wild about the idea. Thoy think that the coin ing of the Burlington will mean to them Increased railroad service and bo ft good thing for the community." Master Mechanics and Supers. The Master Mechanics and Superintend ents' association of tbe Burlington system Is arranging for ft three days' convention at the Paxton this week. The meeting will begin Wednesday and continue through Friday. The indications are for ft large attendance, with representatives from Chi cago and throughout the extent of the Bur lington system. .

FIRST CONTRACT ON POWER HOUSE LET Company Will Not Build Twenty Fourth Street Line to South Omaha I'ntll the For- i Injr la Ordered. A force of fifty men yesterday began to place poles along tbe line of the exten sion of the Omaha street railway to Flor ence and the general manager of the com pany announces that If the weather per mits continuous work regular service be tween Omaha and Florence will be estab Ushed within sixty days. Last fall the company placed rails along the line from Twenty-fourth and Ames avenue to Twenty seventh and Fort streets and It is now the Intention to place the wires over this line of track so material can be hauled over rails, thus reducing time and expense. The poles will be placed to the end of the rails by this evening and the stretching of wire will probably Jhen begin. As soon aa this work is completed tbe force will be started on the extension of the Walnut Hill line to Missouri avenue in South Omaha, but this may be delayed a short time, as the material for this exten sion has not been received. Last year con siderable work was postponed because ma terial could not be secured in time, but it Is believed that the mills can deliver goods more rapidly this season. Power Hons Contract.. Tbe company has let the contract for placing the plies for the new power house, the Nebraska Bridge and Lumber company being the successful bidder.

The contracts for the boilers, engines and dynamos have been let to east ern companies for delivery August 1, at which time It is hoped the building will be ready for them. Contracts for the grading and excavating of the ground will be let In a short time. This work must be done be fore the piling Is driven, but the former contract was let first, as It Is often difficult to get piling thirty-four fest in length. Ready by First of Year.
