' Jut aa noon aa the weather will permit
the railroad wSl begin enlarging- the
yards her and ' making room for mora
tracka. The track now In use are con
stantly crowded, due t the rapid Increase
In business' at this point. On of the big
Improvementa contemplated la the grading
down of the stub ends of streets In the
northern portion of tha city. These stub
ends of Streets, which In reality are high
bluffs were only recently vacated by the
city council and turned over to tha Union
raclflo for trackage purposes. A railroad
offlclal stated yesterday that a portion
of the" grading machinery to be used In
leveling these bluffs waa now In the Union
Pacific shops undergoing' repairs In order
to be ready-to begin work as eoon aa the
weather will permit. The -movement of
this dirt will take a large force of men the
better part of a year to clear fhe ground
down to the level of tha present tracka.
Of tha dirt to ba taken from these stub
enda of streets tha Union Pacific propones
to use about 100,000 yards at tba west and
of the Union Pacific bridge. Where the
balance will to has not been decided on
yet When this ground Is cleared a double
track from Omaha to South Omaha will
be laid, besides a number of sidetracks.
A new depot la to be built as well aa a
viaduct across the tracks. It la understood
that the- Union Stock Tarda company will
proceed with the construction of the via
duct at once and complete It aa soon as
pomlble. Whett the bridge Is built and tho
additional tracka are laid along Railroad
avenue the east Una of the Union Pacific
right-of-way will be fenced and no one will
be permitted on tha tracks except railroad
employes. ,
When the O street viaduct waa first
planned the estimated cost was 180.000.
Now that material has Increased In price
the cost of this bridge will hardly be loss
than 1110,000. Chief Engineer King of the
tock Tarda company baa the plans and
blue prints completed and proposes getting
to work on the viaduct as soon as ne can
get material on hand. , ,..

buildings between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-sixth streets the coming year. Al
ready three heavy property . owners have

view to getting estimates for ateamheated

buildings loft on N street within the limit
of the two blocks mentioned.

The text of the letter relating to the

a cession of New Orleans and Louisiana to
Spain. I had offered It to the English in

would have ceded them other possessions
to have spared Spain having to cede this
latter one but I fear that any cession In
the gulf of Mexico might lead to serious
