Platte and Cheyenne, will be in
creased to some extent during the
period of construct ion of the new
Omaha shops. When the new

trvincr to breathe life into the pro
ject. Recently he was in Slou

italists and endeavoring to enlist
their aid in the enterprise. The

opposite Sioux City, on the north

ington on the Union Pacific, cross
ing the Elk horn at Neligh. The
intention of the original promotore

considered impracticable under

needing to interest ' capital in a
