The announcement from Floux City
a contract between the Great Northern
Railroad company and the Western Grain
company of Winona, Minn., for the right
in th? latter to build the elevators on
the Plonx Clty-Ashland cutoff uf tln
former, was a surprise to the Omaha gram
and elevator Interests. N. B. I'pdlke,
Nathart Mcrrlam, A. B. Jaqulth, A. It.
Rewsher of the Omaha Elevator company
and others had heard nothing of it. The
Western Grain company has Its home In
southeastern Minnesota, but It operates
across the southern part of that state, In
South Dakota, nnd In parts of Iowa.
Whether or not James J. Hill has n largi
Interest In the company, as h been
stated, Omaha men are unable to say.
Some of them Incline to think there Is a
close connection with the elevator com
pany and the road.
The general sentiment Is one of disap
pointment If It be true that a contract
has been let for a Hue of elevators on,
the cutoff. It had been hoped that the
Hill line might not tf imllt, but tills
would seem to Indicate to the grain deal
ers of this city that the Great Northern
Buiilngton line will be surely built. The
elevator men point out that the road will
maiie no new grain In Nebraska, but will
add a new line ot elevators to compete
for the grain at present hauled to estab
lished houses. The Western Grain com
pany at present has no houses in Nebraska.
will Help Moux City.
'The Sioux City & Northern runs Into
the stute," said A. B. Jaqulth, "and we
get no grain from it. The elevators on
that line have no Omaha connection. The
same thing, I should think, will be true
of the Sioux City-Ashlrind cutoff, which
will not have any direct Omaha connection.
The Sioux City papers, I sec, are talking
of this being the .Initiation of a gruln mar
ket there with terminal elevators. I should
think there would be no necessity for
large elevators at Sioux City with the
elevators at IJncoln and those to be built
at the new Btutions on the cutoff. I think
Sioux City will gttlu little by the grain
which Is deflected through thut town on Its
way to the large markets. The new line
will go through some good grain country.
Around Pender and the Indian agencies
some good spring wheut is raised, and the
rest of the line runs through the best of
corn land. As It is now, Omuha gets a
large part of the corn In this country.
although not all of It; and with the cutoff
this. I feel, will be carried awuy from us."
The Sioux City Tribune says:
It is u well known fact that this line of
elevators will never have terminals In
Omaha. Omaha is being made a Hag sta
tion by the Burlington as fast as possible.
Not a main line train now runs into Omuha.
The Chicago-Billings trains ol the Burling
ton are run through Pacific Junction and
PiMttxmniith to Ashland and Lincoln. Only
one Denver train is run via Omaha, and the
sleepers of this train aro detactied at Ann
lana and taken to Pacific- Junction.
Things have not gone rigni wun tne
Burlington at Omaha, and since J. J. Hill
hna auimd control of the sYBter.v even
Omaha has received little consideration In
the plans of the Burlington ana ureal
Northern. Mr. Hill seeks to divert the lm
menso grain business created by the Burl
ington in the west and southwest, which
has been going to Chlcngo and Atlmtle
seaboards, to Minneapolis and St. Paul,
where his interests are ceuiereu.
No other line on eltner tne iiurnngron or
Great Northern will handle a greater
amount of wheat and corn than the Ashland-Sioux
City branch. The great area
of Kansas devoted to wheat raising Is de
pendent on tne iiurnngion ior ampiuns i-
cilltles. Western Nebraska, eastern Colo
rado and the great agricultural region of
Kahrnnliii south to the Katl-
sas line, Is Turlington territory, reached by
a network or iracas aim ti"u'i -handling
of the grain produced by the vast
region.
What Mr. lloiarea-e says.
General Manager George W. Holdrege
does not think much of the story. He
says: "I am perfectly sure that James J.
Hill and the officers of his road are In no
way Interested In any of tho elevators do-
ino- huslness along its lines. I Bee the
Sioux City Tribune suggests that he Is.
That Is not Mr. Hill's way of doing; busi
ness. As far as granting the Western
Grain company of Winona elevator prlv
lieges, I will say that no exclusive con
tract has been entered into wun tne com
pany the Great Northern does not have
any exclusive contracts. The Hill roads
give everyone a fair show. It may be that
locations have been purchased by the
Winona company for elevators along the
new line, but other elevator companies
may have elevators there alBO. There will
be nothing to prevent that.
"As far as all this talk about the Bur
llngton making Omaha a. flag station, peo
ple should remember that they see this in
a Sioux City paper, which Is writing a
Sioux City story. It Is the Intention of the
Great Northern to build so as to give
Omaha the same kind of rates that ths
city has on our other lines In the state
or of the lines of any other company,
Omaha merchants will have every oppor
tunlty of enjoying The trade of the new
line and In addition that of the O'Neill
branch, to which they cannot now reach."

Signs of Disease
The First Signs of Disease are a Pool
Complexion, Weakness, Emacia
tion and Lack of Vitality.
The first sign of returning health ta
increase of flesh, strength, and vigor.
This weakness, emaciation and lack;
of vitality simply means xhat certain
substances, which go to make up the
blood and nerves, have become ex
hausted; and to renew flcBh, muscle
and strength, these substances most
be restored. Dr. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food is composed of the same
kind of substances that are lacking in
the impoverished blood and nerves
when in poor health, and abundant in
the rich juices that flow through the
system when In perfect health. If peo
ple would take this food occasionally
when in health to keep their blood
and nerves in good condition, many
spells of sickness and wasting disease
would be prevented. It makes sick
people .veil, puts solid flesh and mus
cle on thin people, gives strength to
weak people, restores the lost vitality
to nervous people, imparts the tint of
health to pale and sallow people. It
adds years to life and puts life into
years. Price 50 cents. Book free.
