May Build Cutoff in Sfriag .
Yesterday's Omaha Bee contained
the following!
Jt is generally believed around Union
Pacific headquarters that next year
construction work will begin on the
Mcdicino How Cutoff, thus shortening
tho lino between Omaha nnd Ogdcn
nearly fifty miles.
Color is given to tho early construc
tion of tho Mcdicino Bow cut-off by tho
Union Pacific annual report for tho
fiscal year, ending June 30, and which
ifls just reached headquortcrn In this
city, it having been prepared in New
York and sent hero for distribution.
This report contains a map of tho
Union Pacific system and on it is
shown tho cut-oiT line. Thin map
Bhows tho cut-fi as leaving tho main
line at O'Fnllon nnd running northwest
erly to Bridgeport, and thence west to
Gcring, thirty-seven miles. This por
tion is completed and tho thirty-seven
miles will likely be opened for business
about tho first of the year.
From Gering the proposed lino runs
almost duo west to Mcdicino Bow,
Wyo., where it Btrikcs the mnin lino.
Union Pacific men and others who
have been ovor the proposed cut-off say
that tho lino after getting seventy-five
to 100 miles west of Gering, extends
tho balance of tho distance though n
a magnificent country, much of it
being similar to the Big Horn basin.
It is made up largely of valleys and
for miles on either sluo is ns level ns a
floor, capable of supporting a large
number of people. It Is estimated that
along tho now lino thcro io enough ag
ricultural land to give at least, 1,000
men forms of 100 acres each. This is
all government land, subject to ontry
as homesteads. It is not an irrigation
proposition, but thoro nro enough
stronms to furnish water to irrigate the
ontire nreo, provided it is stored in
reservoirs and conserved for future
use.

Chriitaa Cheer.
The Yuletido is the one season of the
year when We nil unite in tho effort to
make every one happy that can possi
bly bo reached through ourinfluencc and
labor. It is such a busy season that it
would seem almost Impossible to get
workers to carry out any extra under
takings'. ot wo must not forget the
poor children or the mothers of these
poor children who will know no Santa
Onus; and we have no such intention.
North Platte Branch No. 1 will have
in charge tho Sunshine Christmas tree
party. It will provide for quite a num
ber of these children and the Sun
shiners, through this branch, will give
tho children a merry Christmas. In
order to carry on tho work properly
this year, arrangements have been made
to open public headquarters at the
homo of Mrs. Minnie Perkins, 11C West
Fourth Street, whero those interested
in tho work can call any day and leave
their contribution, or phono 550 and it
will bo, called for.
Our plea to every Bociety and to
every person interested In spreading
abroad the spirit of cheer at this
Christmas time is asked to- do some
thing to help cither in money or dolls,
bnlls. games, toys, books, candy, nuts,
etc., nro needed for the children.
Won't you help just a. little in this
this work? Tho Christmas tree will bo
December, 23d, in the afternoon. The
plnco will bo announced latter.

If you have not do it now. Never before have the ladies of North Platte and vi
cinity had an opportunity to make selections from such a large stock of Suits,
Cloaks, Dresses, Skirts and Furs. In addition to the large stock we already had
on hand, we received this week an enormous shipment of Coats from a New York
house who consigned them to us unsolicited and ordered us to dispose of them at
such prices as we could get for them the season is getting late and they must go.
This shipment consists of Fancy Mixtures, Blacks, Near-Seal, Plushes, Curacoa, and Russian Fur Pony Coats.
AH sizes for the Ladies' Misses, Juniors and Children, no two garments alike. Stop and look at our show windows
and you will see the class of goods we are selling at the low prices; you can't help but conclude that these are the
greatest bargains ever offered in North Platte. All alterations made free.
lu all other ready-to-wear lines in our store, dress goods, silks and trimmings included, a cash discount of twenty per cent
will he gives during the month of December.
