R. R. 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.

His many friends in O’Neill hopes
that he will live many years and

was enjoyed by all. Mr. Templin of
Spokane, Wash., gave several beauti
ful violin solos, and the “Abandoned

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

ed it and was glad we were there

praised his rendering of that most ex

us to mention any selections further,
but will say that all did their best in
the way of entertainment. The new
organ which has been purchased late
