Tho Bridgeport Blade of last Thurs
day contained this item:
Krist Bros., contractors of Julesburg,
Colo,, wore in Bridgeport last Monday
for tho purpose of figuringV)n a sub
contract on the Union Pacific's North
Platte Vallay line. This work Is now
being sub let, two sections of about
nine miles each having already been a
warded to local contractors.
.Mr. Durant, wuo is promoting tho
proposed railroad from Callnway
of Broken Bow to Tryon, has
written tho people of Bridgeport"lhat
he will shortly visit them and discuss
the question of extending the road to
that place and to ainu common point
beyond. From Tryon west to Bridge
port the rood would pass through n
sparsely settled and not very produc
tive country, nnd it is questionable If
the road would pay operating expenses.
This item from tho Gandy Pioneer is
evidence that tho proposition to raise a
bonus for a railroad is not proving as
popular as was anticipated:
At this writing tho railroad proposi
tion does not look as god as It should.
Of the $70,000 required from Logan
and Lincoln counties, $40,000 only has
been raised, and while this is quite a
sum of money, yet it is not sufficient to
insure the bulldidg of this proposed
road. Many of our citizens have donated
liberally; all they could in fact, whllo
others refuse to do anything at all, and
othors only a nominal sum, taking their
financialconditlon into consideration
