has been laid south of the river and
material is bolng hauldod from Gibbon
to th end of tho track as it is needed.
It is said tho entire lino will be ready
for traffic In about th'eo months.

The C. B. & Q. R. R. to Build Thru
North Platte This Spring.
Last Wednesday an official announce
ment was made that tho .Burlington
would build its railroad thru North
Platto during tho present year. The
first pnragraph of tho announcement
as contained in tho World Herald,
reads;
"Opening up nil central Wyoming
and the Big Horn basin country, tho
Burlington yeBtordny offlclnlly an
nounced that its thru line from the
Powder river, thru North Platto nnd
connecting with the Kearney branch
at a point a few miles oast of that city,
will bo completed this summor. This
is tho biggest job of new railroad con
struction to be done in Nebraska in the
past ten years."
Tho actual building of the Burlington
according to its announcement will
mako great changes in the residence
district of North Platto and will cer
tainly make moro emphatic the fnct
tiiat the Trustee's nnd Riverdale addi
tions are tho most desirable location
for residences of any part of the city.
Tho right of way thru tho city has
been purchased and tho line of the
railroads is such that the distance be
tween tho right of way of the Burlington
railroad and tho Union Pacific is wider
in tho oast part of the city, the two
railroads drawine nearer each other as
thoy go west thru the city. Thofurther
cast ono goes, the further apart these
roilroads will be. This makes the 89
residence lots which aro still unsold in
the Trustee's and Riverdale Additions
tho most desirable property to bo pur
chased at this time. These lots are
improved with comentsidownlks, sewer,
graded streets and many of them with
water mains. Thoy arc situated be.
tweon seven and ten blocks from Dewey
street and are tho closest residence lots
upon the market to tho business part
of tho city. It will not be necessary
to cross a railroad to go from any of
these lots to the business part of town.
Prices $200 to $400 per lot. Easy terms
or a discount for cash.

The announced Intention of the Bur

is commendable; you can't blamo them
for feeling "sore" over the announced
