ItniOJtS OF UXION PACIFIC ItALLKOAl) EXTENSION Tho belief is current.and thoro is reason why it should seem probable, that tho Union Pacific is now getting ready to extend ita lino west from Haig. A stretch of slxty-flvo miles which would take tho road to a Junc tion with tho Colorado & Southern, is supposed tot bo involved in tho pres ent building Intent. Judgo Lovett accompanied President Mohler and a party of other officials over tho west end of this route recently", and this report follows so closely that it looks liko tho orders are actually out Step by stop tho Union Pacific is making its progress toward the long-contemplated through main lino cut-off be tween North Platto and Medlcino Bow. Tho various Tocent developments as to tho south sldo canal and moro re cently tho big Gerlng sugar factory would render this report still moro plausible. Goring Courier.
