Burlington Will Baild thu Year.
The Omaha World-Herald of yester
day contained this article which must
prove, of great Interest to thcpeople of
North Platte and to residents of the
Platte valley between Kearney and
Bridgeport:
Opening up all central Wyoming and
tho Big Horn basin country, the Bur
lington yesterday officially announced
that its through lino from Powder
River, through North Platto and con
necting with tho Kearney branch at a
point a few miles east of that city, will
bo completed this summer. This is tho
biggest job of now railroad construction
to bo dono in Nebraska in tho past ton
years.
At present all traffic from central
Wyoming to Omaha on tho Burlington
has to pass north through Billings,
Mont., and thon southeast an ex
tremely long haul. Danvor would havo
had the advantage over Omaha into
central Wyoming without tho new line.
rru. ti ii i. i
xno uumngion nas now secured a'
right-of-way through North Platte, pur
chasing its last necessary bit of prop
erty last week. Tho lino between North
Platto connecting with the main line at
a point just oast of Koarney will bo
comploted this summon That Koarney
is to bo cut off by tho Wyoming exten
sion will not damage that city, it is
thought, as tho traffic will be all through
business. The Burlington will follow
the south bank of tho North Platto
and Platte rivors all tho way.
The extension from the Powder river
to Orin Junction will be completed as
soon as spring arriyes and the rest ,of
tho work will bo pushed rapidly for
ward at that time. Tho Colorado &
Southern will bo used to a point near
Badger, Wyo., whero a difficult pioco
of railroad engineering will havo to' be
dono to span the eleven miles between
that point and Guernsey.
This work near Badger will cost over
$1,000,000, according to local railroad
engineers, and will bo all rock and
canyon construction Wiion this is com
pleted tho line will bo open to Bridgq
port, nnd tho othor construction Will
finish tho big through coal line. '
"Wo can push our big coal trains.ovqr
tho divide at Moneto with a holper, 'said
Goneral Passenger Agent Wakely yes
terday, "and from that pointintoOmaha
a locomotive will scarcoiy bo needed. It
is all down grado nnd will bo splendid
trackage"
If tho lino between Bridgeport and
tho main Ifno near Kearney is not
finished on scheduled time, the cut-off
from Brigoport to Allianco will be used
in the meantime.
Work trains will bo sent to these .con
struction points at tho first signs of
open weather.
Mr. Wakely aays that scores of How
towns will bo opened up along tho new
Burlington lino in Nebraska, which will
touch somo of tho most fertile and pro
lific lands along de North Platto bot
toms. Passes For Employes.
Employes of the Union JPacific who
havo been with tho company fivo years
or more are to receive annual passes.
Five-year employes will receivo passes
ovor the division on which they work.
lnoso who hnvo seen ten years of
service will get annuals good over
the entire system, and those who can
boast of fifteen or more years; of con
tinuous employment will not only re
ceive annuals for themselves, good over
tho system, but similar passes for such
persons as are dependent upon them
for support.

Pioneer Passes Away.
A telegram received Wednesday
morning announced the death at Omaha
of Byron L. Robinson, a pioneer resl
dent of North Platto. Several months
ago Mr. Robinson becamo afflicted with
heart trouble, but after being confined
to tho houso for a couple of months,
improved and ho essayed to resume" his
duties as passengor director at the
depot. It was found, however, that he
could not stand tho work, nnd ho re
mained indoor. A week ago, accom
panied by Mrs. Robinson, he went to
Omaha, and from there expected to
go to California to spend the winter.
After reaching Omaha his condition
gradually grew worse and doath en
sued Tuesday evening at six o'clock at
tho Wiso Memorial hospital.
Death came suddenly a fow minutes
after his family, who had been watching
at his bedsido, had left the hospital for
tho ovening meal.
Mr. Robinson was conscious until the
last nnd conversed with those around
him In a cheerful manner.
B. L. Robinson was born in Onon
dago county, New York, February 15,
1849. When a small boy he moved to
Michigan with his parents. A number
of years later during the Civil war he
held a position as government operator
for the Union army in tho south.
In 1871 ho camo to North Platto and
accepted a position as telegraph opera
tor in tho Western Union, a position
which ho held until 1899. On Sept. 2,
1877, ho was married to Miss Alice Tink
ham of Beatrice. To them wore born
two children, a daughter who died in
infancy and a son Guy who is now a
resident of Burlington, la. For four
teen years Mr. Robinson faithfully per
formed his duties as Union Pacific train
director, his courtesy to tho passengers
was alike appreciated by his employers
nnd the traveling public.
On February 8th, 1880, ho was united
with tho Methodist Episcopal church
and for a number of years served on
the official committee. Eighteen years
ago he was appointed superintendent of
the biblo classes and Sunday schools.
Mr. Robinson was a man who was
honostin every business transaction.
Unselfishness was tho principle which
animated him and his charactor, tho
greatest asset of man, was abovo re
proach. The funeral will bo hold from the M.
E. church Sunday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock, Rov. Cram conducting the
services.
To mourn him are left hia sorrowing
wife, son Guy and two brothers and a
sister who reside in Michigan.

Secretary Bailey, and Seerotary
Whitney, of Colnmbus, all associated
with Y. M. C. A. work, wero in town
Tuesday and attendod a banquet held nt
tne I'resby tenon parlors in the evening.
The object of tho visit of these
gentlemen was to hold n conference

tion, arid talk over tho advisability of
beginning a campaign for an association
building. It was at this banquet that
the conference was held, and in addition

taries Knebel nnd Bailey and by othors,

When It Rained Stones Elevon Days.
There nro hundreds of well authenti
cated accounts bf stones falling from,
tho skies, from tho mysterious regions
of the great sea of Bpace, but eUch
"falls" have usually been singly or, nt
the most, in small showers. Accord
ing to n legend told by tho Arabs of
the Sahara, there was a time in that
portion of the dark continent when"
pebbles nnd flue sand literally rained
from above for several days, covering
tho earth to n depth of autiny feet. In
fact, they claim that tho great desert
did not exist prior to tho timo when
this great shower of aerolites came. In
Jciickyn's "Trip to Yo Burning Sondes '
of Afrlck" the following is told under
tho head "Another of God's Wonders:"
"Moreover, tho natives of these parts
say that it once rained small stones
and sandes for a period of eleven days
and nights. Much fertile land and
many towns and thousands of animals
and human beings were thus buried
up."
