Tho cheapest way to get new readers is to make a special price, which we now do-only $2 for the daily and Sunday paper until Janu ary 1, 191&-much less than the rogular pneo. At that time the paper will stop coming unless you order it continued and pay in advance for it. You really cannot afford to be without this capital city paper when you can securo it at such a price.

Ten years of Advancement of the Union Pacific Railroad Ten Years Ago This Month As clipped from the newspapers of that date Announcement was made at tho Union Pacific headquarters that the double tracking of tho line from Omaha to Valley was to be completed in the near future. -fc A comparison of double tracking figures between the year 1902 and 1912 shows a vast and inter- eating growth. Prior to 1902 the Union PaclGc had a total of only 74.41 miles of double track. Today there is an unbroken stretch of double track of 304 miles from Omaha to Julesburg, Colo.; while there is a total of 694 miles of double track on the main line and branches not including 130 miles, now being Jaid. , . While reviewing the above figures, note a few of the improvements and extensions other thun double-tracking that have been brought about during the last decade: The equipment of tho entire line with a automatic electric block safety signals affording protection to patrons and employes. , The ballasting of its roadbed with Sherman gravel disintegrated granite insuring the traveler freedom from all road dust. i The straightening of sharp curves, tho elimination of steep grades, tho shortening of distance by cut-offs, the tunneling of solid granito mountains, tho filling in of deep valleys, the bridging of wide expanses of water nnd tho making of various other improvements that contribute to the comfort and safety of patronB. its WW UNION PACIFIC, STANDAHD ROAD OF THE WEST.

A Nebraska who has returned from the Chicago convention says that tho nomination of President Taft waa almost a foregone conclusion after the first skirmish which resulted in the election of Mr. Root. He did not form a very favorable opinion of the Roose velt leoders as a general rule. They were a little too much along the lino of a rule or ruin policy and did not appear to bo near as gentlemanly in their con duct as did those who were lined up for the other candidates, and in their talks rather turned sober thinking men n galnstthem. They were especially in sulting when Taft men were speaking, whilo on the other hand as a general thing the Roosevelt speakers were not interrupted in any great degree. It was tho general opinion that a great denl of tho Bentiment against Mr. Taft would subside after people had had time to think tho matter over. E. D. Hamilton, a Julesburg bankor, a member of the Knights Templar of this city, and well known to many of our people, died at his homo at Julesburg Sunday. Death followed an operation for acute appendicitis. Buy Now. This is the right time to buy city property.
