General Manager Joffors, of the Union Pacific, Bpent Wednesday even ing with friends in town while en rcxuto west. Notwithstanding tho an xiety and strenuous work brought about by tho threatened striko, Mr. Jeffers said he waB fee-ling his best. "It is reported In town, Mr. Jeffers, 'hat tho plans for the now depot havo been changed, and tha't Wo are not to havo so large or costly a structure," was a question asked. "Tho iplans havo boon changed Eome," said Mr. Jeffers, "but the chan ges have been wholly on the interior. The dimension's of tho building and the estimated cost remain tho same, and tho structure will' be Just as rep resented In tho drawing which has ieen cm exhibition In North Platte." "When will the contract bo let?" was -then asked.

Tho work will be rushed as rapidly as consistent with good work manship and tho ability to seure tho necessary laborers."
