We notice that in some of the
districts candidates for the legis-
islature are announcing their position -
sition on r i1road legislation.
No less than three candidates in
York county are out with letters
, "
of explana"tion . , each talunga
ti very.pDsitive stand against railroad -
road domination. They favor direct -
rect pr i ary , binding twine plant ,
. ( denou : cp , railroad rebates , railroad -
; road p ss , and favor a railroad

/ : privat 'hnd' corporate property.

J The eis a good deal of pleasure
in reading the notices that have
and are still being published concerning -

'butVbat , he honestly obtained
these ; riches and he used them
with ttt ; ostentation. His example -
ample seems to be one to which
attcntation can rightly be called
without misleading the you h of
today.
No state in the Union 'has as
many good tillable acres of land ,
in proportion to its are , as Ne-
braska. Already the state lS
taking the lead in agricultural
products , although only a portion
is under cultivation. What will
be the result tlve years hence ,
with ttie increased acreage under
the plow and the better mE ; thods
used.
Some joker of a butcher down
in Washington tried to palm oil
an articificial mutton chop on
Dr. Wiley , thc head of the pur
food department of the govern'
ment. It didn't work , but thh
is no worse than is attempted ot :
the public whenever the pur <
food. law is not enforced.
. State Treasurer Peter Mor ,
tensen has declined to be .
candidafe for governor on Ull
theory that the constitutiol
makes him ineligible of being ;
candidate 'for a state offic ' whill
holding one. This. should satis
fy McGilton and Weston tha
they need not apply this year.
Since three of the would-h
candidates for governor are prac
tically out of the race for lack 0
constitutional qualifications i
would indicate that the chance
for ) 'obn Wall are growin
brighter. .

A corps of uintecn Union Pacific -
cific surveyors are still at work
north of Gandy and reports are
current that this proposed line
will , ex lend from , Callaway to
Bridgcport. More than this the
enthusiasts claim that by constructing -
structing short connccting links
east of Callaway and Columbus
and that eventuallY there will be
a line from Columbus to Calla-
way , thence to Bridgeport and
from there to Hock Hiver , Wyo. ,
where it will connect with the
main line. Such a route , it is.
declared , will shorten Ute. . d is : '
tanc ' froul" Omaha to Ogden I
about 150 mites and have the ad-I
vantage of a more favoralJle I
. grade over the Hocky Mountains.
-North Platte 'l'ribune.
Another rou te is also suggestcd
which is from Columbus by way
of Fullerton and 1-4oup City to
Arnold by the way of Broken
Bow to conncct with the K. B.
& H. H. R. which will shorten
the Houte from twenty five to
fifty mites over the other proposed
route. As the U. P. has a line
of road from Columbus to Loup
City , covering a distance of 84
miles it would require the building - I
ing of only GO more miles to make
the connection giving an air line
from Omaha to Northport on
the north fork of the Platte river -
er with connections with their
main line either Chevenne or
-
Laramie , \Vyoming.

It is to cross the Missouri river

" 'l'he incorporatorB are A. E.

"The same parties filed articles
with a capital of $30,000,000 for
the American Construction Co.

'rhe map shows Pierre to be a
little' west of north of Broken
Bow which would place Broken
Bow in a direct line with a feas-
iblc route to Galveston.
'l'his may be the northern end

which furnishes splendid music
at each session. 'rwo services
are held each day , the afternoons
and evenings.
It was estimated that .1,200

'night. No such crowds at re ,
