Superintendent Baxter Denies Reports.
Today's Omaha Bee says: Superintendent Baxter
denies that there is any foundation for the report in the
Kearney papers that a change is to be made on the Nebras
ka division of the Union Pacific, whereby Grand Island and
North Platte will be cut out as division points and a new
division established at Kearney. The superintendent says
that such a change has not even been contemplated by the
Union Pacific officials and characterizes the reports as noth
ing more than hot air. "If such a change were to be made,"
adds Mr. Baxter, "I would certainly know of it."

that at times trains will be delayed

Wc trust that the statement of
Supt. Baxter, which wc publish
elsewhere, will tend to quiet those
nervous people who had alarium
tremens over the reports that
North Platte would be discontinued
as a division terminal. We have
contended all along that no such
move has been contemplated by the
Union Pacific, and that contention
was baaed upon authority that
could not be Questioned. The
statement made public by Supt
Baxter is in keeping with Btatc
mcnts made privately by officials
who are higher up than Mr. Bax
ter. If the nervous people of North
Platte will devote as mucli energy
in buildinc up the city as they do
to circulating pessimistic reports,
we would in a few ycarh rank as
