O’NEILL ROAD ALSO EXTENDED Plans of Or eat Northern Include Ex* tention of Short Line to Con nect With Mitchell Road. A special dispatch to the World Herald from Kennedy, Neb., dated Feb ruary 14, says: This otherwise quite little burg was much exhilarated a few days ago by the appearnce of a corps of surveyors, who are making a preliminary survey from Mitchell, 8 D.to Denver, Col. Your rep resentative drove out to where the sur veyors were oamped and had a long in terview with the chief engineer. He was a very pleasant gentleman to meet and interesting to talk with about everything but the survey he was making. He even was willing to talk of the senatorial dead lock in Nebraska and everything else but his work. From other sources it was learned that the proposed survey is being made by the Great Northern Railroad company. The chief of corps of surveyors is A. M. Morrison and his assistant is Mr. Charles Sperks. They are instructed to make a preliminary survey and report to the company as soon as possible the length of the road and the coat. It has already been made from Mitch ell, 8. D , to a few miles north of Mullen. Neb , and they expect to complete it in a week or ion days It leaves Mitobell and runs in a western and southerly direction through Davison county, then through Douglas county in the same general direction, running close to the towns of New Holland and Platte in that county, thence through Gregory county and a portion of Tripp, striking the Nebraska line a lttle north west of Pekin, in i£**ta Paha county, and thence in the same general direction through Ke> a Paha ami Cherry counties to Valentine, where it is said there is to be a division point with sh ips, owing to the advantages for se curing an abundance of water. It will run from there in the same gen eral direction and intersect the Bur lington close to Mullen. It will then run through Hooker. McPherson, Keith and Deuel counties and will cross thb Unotn Pacific near Chappell, where there is to be another division. From there it will runjthrougb Logan, Morgan and Weld counties in Colorado, and the terminu* will be Denver. The length of the road will be about 500 miles. From Mitchell to Valentine, the first division about 150 miles, from Valentine to Chappell, about the same distance and from there to Dearer aboutZ the same distance. Another survy is to ' bo made by the same corps of sarrerors trom O’Neill to Denver. The gentleman giving this information ia very confident ' that the road will be built In the near future. Should the road from Mitchell, 8. D.. f to Denver be constructed, it will shorten the distance fnm tbe states North and South Dakota, Minnesota, portions of ' ' Wisconsin and Nebrska to Colorado aod / surrounding states by several hundred , I'h v miles and open a direct route from i Duluth and the great lakes to the Rocky 1 * mountain region. It is the intention. X ’ when the road Is constructed from Mit- / cbell to Denver to at once extend the road from O’Neill and connect with that line somewhere near Kennedy, in Cherry county. This will enable a person to go direct west to any point from Northwest • ' ? ern Nebraska. Both roads will pass through a very rich country. __ . * ij* -■ The Atkinson Fireman had their M . tenth annual ball last Monday night the , * following O’Neiilltes being present to k assist them in properly observing the event: E 8 Eves and wife, F.
