ENGINEERS ARE NOW SURVEYING It it understood that the Qreat North ern road hat surveyors at work west of O’Neill marking out a line of road for the extension of the Short Line from O’Neill to Alliance. Just where the surveyors are located is not definitely known by those outside railroad ciroles, but that | there is truth is in tbe report is shown by : the following bit of information from ! last night's Sioux City Times: Confirmation of the report that the Great Northern has a corps of engineers in the field survey ing a line from O’Neill. the westerm terminus of the old Pacific Short Line, westward to Alliance, Neb., ; on t*<e line of the Burlington road, wsa 'received yesterday in a private dispatch from Omaha. It appears that an inves tigation of the report was made by the officials of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railway company, and that its substantiation has given them no little concern. It was found that the survey was being run a few miles north of the old Donald McLean survey, which crossed the Burlington tbe first station below Alliance. . The fear of the Northwestern is that the extention will not stop at Alliance, but will be run on the few miles neces sary to penetrate the Sweet Water valley, the finest cattle grazing lands in the United States. This, it is said, will be I certain if Jim Hill is financially inter ested in the stock yards at South St. Paul. It is believed by railroad men that he would not hesitate to run the cattle business of the line through Sioux City lo St. Paul if he could. “It is plain that the Northwestern is alarmed over this matter.” said a rail road official yesterday, “but it might have known all along that Hill would not have the Short Line hanging a dead weight to his system of roads. It must produce something, and if an extension is needed, why then an extension it will be. That is the Hill policy. Whether be will run tbe line into the Sweet Wat er valley is difficult to tell. My judg ment would be that if the Burlington did not give the Short Line its share of the cattle business Hill would go after it.” At the general office of the Wilmar and Sioux Falls it Is said that nothing is known of the movements of the Great Northern surveyors. --- Big discount on shoes for the next thirty days at Harringtons. 37-1 □Bran and Shorts.—O’Neill Grocery. Populist Convention. The populist county convention, to elect delegates to the state convention, was held at the court-house last Satur and it was a very small gathering. A delegate from Chambers in addressing the convention said there were a large number of townships that had sent no delegates and whoever happened to be in the city from any of these townships was given a seat. The smallness of the convention does not speak very well for the ’fluence of the Independent, as that paper expected a great outpouring of indignant populists, who would censure the county board for making The Fron tier one of the official papers. Eddie discovered very early in the game that such a deal could not be worked, and be trembled all day for fear a resolution endorsing the action of the board would be adopted. Eves heaved a sigh and felt relieved when the convention ad journed and no ratification sentiments had been expressed. W. B. Cooper of Chambers was elected chairman and the way he tried to “throw it into” some of his colleagues on the county board was enough to make a mule laugh. The following delegates were elected: John Nolan, P. J. Fritchoff, John Car ton, E. M. Waring, J.J. Harrington, J. A. Golden, David Brion. L. G, Lam bert, W. T. Hayes, Barney Joues, John M. Stewart and C. W. Hamilton. The delegates were instructed for M. F. Harrington for delegate to the nation al convention. After the selection of the delegates, Mr. Harrington, being sent out after as he was not in the con vention, addressed the meeting for a half hour, after which adjournment was taken.
