That was a lucky day for Frank, for

since elapsed ho has added several
thousand acres of land to his homestead
and owns a bunch of cattle that varies
from seven hundred to ono thousand
head.
A fine home, barns, great oxpanscs of

ho and his family are prosperous, con
tented and hnppy. Mr. McFadden is
still on the sunny side of life, and woro
ho not a man to whom work is a pleas

' Dhcuts Service on Branch.
Chas. Ware, general manager of the
Union Pacific, came up from Omaha
Wednesday morning and in tho nftor
noon discussed tho passenger servico on
tho North Uiver branch with thirty or
more business" men nt a meeting held at
tho Elks' home.
J . 0. Wilcox and othors told of tho
loss of trade that resulted to North
Platto merchants bv reason of thn lnrt
of better service, nnd expressed beliof
that increased servico wonld result in
increased passenger sorvice, and nt tho
shine time prove nn incentive to the
poonle of the valley to come hore to
trade. Mr. Ware brought with him
statistics showing the earnings of the
North River branche, as well of other
branches in tho state. These figures
ouuni'u uint iiiu viuiiii iviver line was
not a paying proposition and confessed
that the traffic on the line had boon a
disappointment to tho officials of tho
road. Replying to tho suggestion that
a motor service be placed on tho branch;
the car arriving from Goring at noon
and leaving after tho arrival of No. 11
at 2:15 in the afternoon: Mr. Waro said
that such & servico would cost tho com
pany $160 per day, yet if sufficient bus
iness could be secured by the increased
service, tho company would bo glad to
put on the car. It was suggested that
tho car ba put on for a ninety-day trial,
and while Mr. Waro gave no direct
promise that this would be done, ho
said he would carefully investigate the
matter. Should he arrive at a favor
ablo conclusion, it is not likely the car
would be given n trial until late in tho
summer or early fall.
Train service west of here was also
taken up with Mr. Waro, especially as
to Sutherland being made a flag stop
for train No. 11. Mr. Waro stated that
No. 11 is a fast train nnd that on ac
count of tho Burlington's competition
on tho Denvor business it was absolute
ly necessary that tha fast time be
maintained and that the fewest possiblo
stops be made. He promised, howover,
to see what ho could do, and bofore
leaving town that night notifiod Presi
dent Sceberger of tho Chamber of Com
merce that tho request would be
granted.
This Dashes Our Hopes.
Tho Lincoln Journal in discussing
building operations by tho Burlington
throws a wot sponge on our expecta
tions which wer6 brightened last week
by the article appearing in the World
Herald and republished in these columns.
Part of the Journal's article follows:
Money for new railroad building is
not easily secured. Thorcforo additions
to mileage in this part of the west will
come slowly. That is n statoment Bur
lington men mako when asked about
the construction of the proposed Platte
valley lino. That lino will not bo built
this summer. It probably will not bo
built next. Riimmnr. Tr will lu l.nilf
,during the next decade. Burlington men
iuui auro, unu uecausu oi mis company
property bought for its use is being re
tained nnd even somo additions Tinvo

At North Platte the company bought
a right of way through the town sovoral

has grown rapidly and a now addition
has been platted that hemmed in tho
right-of-way property. Further right
or way was bought to keep a way
through the city open.
Final contracts on the Wyqming ox
tension are to bo let early in February
nnd work between Powder River and
Orin Junction is expected to start in
Mnrch. That will be the extent of con
struction on tho low grade transcontin
ental line this coming summer.
