Union Pacific's $50,000 Fee.
The -effort of the secretary of state
to require the l;iiion Pacific Railroad
"company to pay a fee of $50,000 because.-the
.company has increased its
capital stock an. l has not yet filed
amended articles in Nebraska show
ing that' fact.' may not be without re
sult.' " The legal department of the
company has replied to the request
for . fe'e under pain of not being al
lowed to exercise the right or emi
nent domain iu this state. While the
fee has not lnjen paid, the conipan
is fitting up and taking notice of the
demand "or the state. The suggestion
has been made that the company can
i extend its lines and condemn prop-
ty and evade the law by forming
separate corporations. nenever a
new line has to be built It can bo
buiit by a new company, which the
Union Pacific will later control or
lease.

Central City Is preparing to make a
strong bid for the proposed Odd Fel
lows' home which Is to be located
Eomewhere In tho state soon after the
first of February. The officers of the
order having the location of the home
in charge, insist upon a site which is
all in one tract, and which is located
in a part of the rtate adapted V'the
raising of fruit, t mall fruit and vege
tables., and where general farming will
be profitable. Central City Odd Fel
lows are setting about in a business
like manner to secure it. They have
reveral tracts in view, one or two of
them being splendidly suited for the
purpose, and they have already se
cured an option on them. Already
there is money enough in sight to pur

carry with it th donation of a sire.
