Kinkade of Omaha, represent ing the Niobrara and Sioux City Rail way and Power Co., is a guest at the Hotel Evans this week. Mr. Kinkade is a civil engineer in the employ of the above company who are pro moting the interurban railroad, men tion of which has been made in these columns. Mr. Kinkade says that they have made preliminary estimates of an interurban road from Sioux City, Iowa, to Center, Verdigris, Walnut and Venus, with a branch road runing from Walnut to Mlneola and another branch running from Center to Niob rara and that these estimates ano data have been submitted to the east ern representative of the European capitalists who have agreed to dnano< the enterprise, providing a satisfac tory report was made thereon by theli American representative, and that hi has approved that portion of it and will recommend it to his foreign clients. Since making their preliminary es timate of tire above line the promo cers decided to extend it so as to take in a greater portion of this county, providing the people were favorably disposed toward the line, and with that end In view Mr. Kinkade made a trip to Chimbers the first of the week with a view to interesting the people of southern Holt in tbe proposed line. If the proper encouragement is receiv ed from the southern people he says that the line will be extended from Venus to O’Neill and then on to Chambers. If the line does not come through O’Neill it will run through either Ewing or Inman to Chambers. For making the preliminary eBttmatt of the extension they ask the people of eastern Holt to give the company $1,000 and the people of Chamber? nd the other town on the Northwestern through which the line passes, $1,500, which is to be used to make the pre liminary estimate. If the road is finally built this money will be re turned to the donors in the shape of coupon books good for either freight or passenger transportation. If the road should not be built then the don ors would lose the amount so sub scribed. Outside of this amount ask ed to make the preliminary estimate ] and report they ask for no bonds or bonuses of any kind whatever Chambers people are looking up tin references given by the promoter and if they find things to their satisfac tion will make arrangements to have Chambers i. eluded in the list of towns touched by the proposed road. W. E. King of Omaha, an engineer of considerable experience In interur ban railway work is at the head of the proposed road. Mr. Kinkaid says that he was at one time the chief engineer in charge of the Illinois Ter minal railway, which was organized twelve years ago and which now oper ites over 1100 miles of interurban road I< Illinois alone, and he is at the head f the Nebraska Transportation Co., ’eh will the coming summer build .» *<.1* 200 miles of interurban road in I e eastern part of this state, running from Omaha to Sioux City, then on to Norfolk and Madison. Arrangements for the financing of this line having been completed, according to Mr. Kinkade. Power for the proposed road w ill be secured from the Niobrara river which will be dammed about six miles above Niobrara. Engineers have figured that a plant can be installed there that will generate 9,000 horse power which will b • ample to run interurban cars over nearly the entire state. This water right is owned by E. L Kirk, general manager of the Slous City Service Co., who is one of tht parties interested In the proposed in terurban line. Opera House, Febr. 18.

The entertainment given at Union Ohurcb January 25, was well attended The program was well rendered and was enjoyed by all. Mr. Templin of Spokane, Wash., gave several beauti ful violin solos, and the “Abandoned Baby’’ was greeted with loud applause when it was discovered to be only a rag doll. The “Knight of the road” won the hearts of all who saw him, end we hope he doesn’t have to saw wood every morning before breakfast “Learning to Cook” was rendered in a very striking manner by Mrs. S. O. Templin, and we hope that all new cooks will not have the trouble that Betsy did. When Mr. Frank Temp lin entertained us with the reading, “I am glad I was here” we all enjoy ed it and was glad we were there iimmle Revell spoke “The Aid Soci ety” all heartily agreed with him ano praised his rendering of that most ex cellent piece. Space will not permit us to mention any selections further, but will say that all did their best in the way of entertainment.
