Friday evening was a gtaud success both

voted by all present to be one of the
features of the evening. The snow storm

number from out of town attending,
but notwitbs'a'iding the inclemency of
the weather there were fifty ooupics
present Those attending from outside

of Long Pine; Messrs Ralph and Archie
Carpeuber, of Johnstown; and Mr. Era
Smith, of Wood Lake. Supper was served

this was one of the most enjoyable
events that Atusworth has bad for several
years. The proceeds were used for pur

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.
