FACTS TO SUPPORT THE STORY.

the Northwestern Through Caspar.
Other Railroad News.
ITrom Tiictilny'r Dully.
Since It UI\H boon reported that the
Northwestern upturn is to absorb the
Hlkhorn there are ninny facts to Hhow
that the Northwestern contemplates n
through road from Chicago to Odoii ( ,
Utah. The Union I'uoiflo has recently
Hindu ( radio arrangements with the
Milwaukee route giving thoui tlio same
porvlco hatwoon Omaha and Ogden as
the Noith western has heretofore had.
It Is nut dllUoult to arrive at the oonolu-
nlon that the taking in of a compotlug
line by the Union Pacific on the Hamo
terms Is far from Hatlsfaotory to the
Northwestern interests. The failure of
the Union PaollVo to moot the require-
inontH of its mall oontraot with the gov
ernment during the past year la another
reason that erodonce IH glvon to the ru
mors of a through line to the coast Uy
the Northwestern. It would moan
niuoh to Norfolk , as well as other towns
along the line if these rumors proved
aoourato. It would ho a good thing for
the entire trans-Missouri country to
have another competing HUOH between
Omaha and the west.
The following are moro reasons for
believing that the Northwestern has
Buch intoutloiiH , those having appeared
in a roaont i.smto of the Llnoolu Journal :
"Tho announcement madejin thoprosa
clispntohos that at the next mooting of
the directors of the Northwestern rail'
road the company will take over the
rights nnd property of the Fremont ,
Ellthorn & Missouri Yalloy railroad ,
coupled with the statement that a now
issue of stock will bo made , creates con
siderable interest hero. Soiuo profess
to believe that it moans the extension
in a short time of the line from Casper ,
Wyo , , to Ogden. The distance from
Oaspor to Ogden , as shown by Elkhoru
surveys , is ! ) f > 0 miles. That route has
boon gone over by surveyors. It is said
to bo for the most part a water grade
proposition , with no expensive tunnels
uor heavy mountain climbing. Should
the road bo completed from Oaspor the
distance from Lincoln to Ogden would
bo lOOOamilOB whereas the distance to
Ogdou via the Union Pacific from Lin
coln is 1,022 miles. The Elkhorn would
give Omaha a route of DSO inilos length
to Ogden while Fremont and Ogden
would bo sonaratod bv 018 mllon. The
Union Pacific distance from Omaha to
Ogdou is practically 1,000 inilos.
"Tho Cnspcr line from Chndron to
Oaspcr has never paid the company big
revenues. For a few months in a year
it does a good cattle business. It is said
on good authority that the extension
from Vordigro to Bouostool Is a Northwestern -
western proposition. While it was
built by the Klkhorn it is churned that
the parent road furnished the money
and the line is Northwestern property
in every sense of the word.
"It is urged that for several years the
Northwestern has been extending its
lines in Iowa and Southern Minnesota.
It is now duo to turn its attention to the
western ends that every mile of track
may be made to pay. During the past
year the company spent a largo sum of
mouoy at South Omaha. It has built
new yards and has arranged terminal
facilities. A few days ago it was an
nounced that thirty inilos of now stool is
to bo laid between California Junction
and Fremont this coming season. The
company , joining with the Union Pa
cific , arranged to build a fine union depot -
pot at Fremont. The coming season is
liable to bo one of great industrial act
ivity with this road.
"Some talk has been heard that the
company will , when it is released from
a territorial agreement with the Bur
lington , do some building in tho'South
Platte country. It is believed in time
it will connect Lincoln with its Hast
ings and Superior lines by a cutoff. A
tralllo arrangement with the Santa Fe ,
which is now arranging a now trunk
line to the gulf , might give Lincoln
through service to the south in that
way. At Superior the Elkhoru and
Santa Fo exchange business. They use
the same terminal facilities. Much of
the stock from the south handled by the
Santa Fe is turned over to the Elkhoru
there. A through passenger arrange
ment could bo made as easily as freight
transfers. Through service from Min
neapolis and St. Paul to the Gulf of
Mexico via Lincoln is an Impossi
bility. The Black Hills country might
also be served by the same through ar
rangement. "
Bonestcel Has Train Service.
The passenger sen-ice of the J ? . 13. &
M. V. will include Bonesteel , the termi
nus of the now extension , beginning
with tomorrow. Tonight the first pas
senger train will be run into that town
nnd tomorrow the service will become
regular. The new time card govern
ing this service went into oiYect last
Sunday , but the service betwoou Fair
fax and Bonosteel has been suspended
from day to day pending the comple-
ion of the Hue. The people of Bone-
ntool wolcomnd the constitution gang
to that town on Saturday , the 8th , but
the trackage ban not boon In condition
to establish regular norvlco until today ,
Shorter Hours Between Long Pine
nnd Omaha.
Kvldonoo is that the F. 12. & M V.
IH contemplating a material shortening
of the time of the run between Long
Pine and Omaha , with the idea of
quicker service between the two points.
A man in the sorvioo of the company re
cently timed the train on the run with
the knowledge of the cuKinoor and it
was found that there could bo an aver
age gain of three minutes between
stations. This would result in the
shortening of time between Long Pine
and Omaha of an hour and a half.
Tobtas-Waldron.
At high noon today , in Trinity
Episcopal church , Miss Myrtle Alioo
Waldron was married to Mr. John
Grant Tobias , Hov.J. O. S. Wollls olllo-

the surroundings all conduced to the
happiness of the ovout. The choir of
the church , of which Miss Waldrou has
boon an active and beneficial factor for
a number of years , was represented
by nearly every member. A largo
concourse of friends of the contract
ing parties was in attendance to
witness the ceremony , whloh was per
formed according to the impressive
ritual of the church. The bride was at
tired in a gray traveling dross , with
white silk waist and white hat. After
congratulations had boon extended , Mr.
and Mrs. Tobias outorod a carriage and
were driven to the station where they
took a train for Sioux City. After a
snort visit there they will spend a few
days with friends in Omaha , and then
go to Lincoln , whore they will make

The Columbus Bill Posting Co. has
again enlarged their plant by inclosing
the entire corner east of the now post-
olllco building with the regulation
boards , which is by all odds the finest
location for advertising purposes in the
city. Wo note since Robert W. Saloy
assumed control of the bill posting busi
ness hero , it has grown into Immense
proportions , and has called for in
creased area from time to time. Bill
boards kept freshly and neatly papered
as they are are attractive. Wo are
glad to learn from traveling representa
tives that this plant Is not only the
largest of any city of its size in the
state , but is kept up In the best shape.
Mr. Saloy bollovos that what Is worth
doing at all , Is worth doing well.
The foregoing is from the Oolnmbns
Times. It shows that the people of
that city believe in encouraging well
kept bill boards , which are certainly
moro attractive than to have posters
pasted all ever town in a haphazard
tnaunor. Goo. II. Spear has been trying
to establish a similar business hero but
Is mooting with obstacles whloh , to say
the lojvst , would seein rather childish.

Condition Does not Demand an
American Sacrifice.
OPINION OF NEBRASKA MAN ,
H. Qi Loavltt In a Recent Interview
Expresses His Position on the
Matter of Cuban Reciprocity Boot
Men's Position Justified.
In n recent iutorviow with the
World-Herald II , G. Loavltt , president
of the hoot sugar company with a fac
tory near Fremont , gave some now
ideas on the Cuban situation as con
cerning the proposed attack on the boot
sugar industry of this country. It is
said that ho smiled as ho read "that the
Cubans are HO slow about roturuiug to
the United States the now commercial
treaty that the adminlstratlonl wants ,
that General Haakor U. Bliss has boon
flout to hurry along the Cubans , If pos
sible. It all , ho emphasizes , boars out
the assertions ofjtho boot sugar produc
ers a year ago , that the Cubans can
get along very nicely by themselves
without all of the special privileges
that the administration sought to turn
their way in the way of rebates on
Cuban sugar , whloh , the boot sugar
producers maintained all along , was bnt
to line the pockets of the sugar trust
without helping the Cubans n cent ,
"Last year wo hoard that unless the
Cubans are helped by our legislation ,
there would bo great distress among
the laboring people of the island ; the
planters would go bankrupt ; and the
fertile plantations would go back to
the wilderness. Last year the Cubans
produced ( W 1,000 tons of sugar ; this
year it increased to 850,000 tons ;
great distress and deplorable condltious
that , " observed Mr. Loavitt.
"As wo maintained all along before
congress , conditions would adjust
themselves in a short time so that the
people of Cuba would not need a bit of
help from the United States , which ,
as wo said , would bo of no real help to
the Cubans anyhow , but would only
fatten the sugar trust , while breaking
down and dlstroyiug the boot sugar in
dustry of the country , and ruining the
Louisiana planters.
"This year there has been a falling
off in the sugar production of Europe ,
which has heretofore produced an excess
of supply ever demand on account of
the bounties paid , and which are now
abolished. Therefore Europe will consume -
sumo all of its own sugar hereafter ;
the excess will bo withdrawn from the
market ; and the Cuban sugar will have
fair competition in the open market of
London so it will have an eaual chance
ivith the rest of the world , and an ad-
autago in the United States because
f lower freight rates.
"An industry that can grow from
50,000 tons four years ago to 8."iO,000
ous this year doesn't need any partio-
Inr help from the United States , it
coins to mo. Cuba is n foreign country ,
, ud that's all there is to it ; so why
hould the United States help Cuba in
reference to its own farmers when it is
oing BO well itself.
"And there is another thing that we
iiust consider. The only purchaser of
Cuban raw sugar is the sugar trust , be-
lauso no one else but the trust owns
ho refineries with which to make it
saleable In the open market. If the
: ariff on Cuban sugar is reduced , will
; ho planters got the difference ? Why ,
ertalnly not. The price to them will
o the same , and the trust will pocket
ho difference , because the people can't
; et sugar anv cheaper than before from
Hamburg , and will be helpless against
he trust , while the price to the Cubans
'or ' their raw sugar in other markets
will not bo raised a cent. "
With reference to the Standard Beet
Sugar factory at Loavltt , of which Mr.
Loavitt Is president , he said that the
output this season would bo about
40,000 tons. Harvesting and manufac
turing began about September 15 , and
will continue until about December 15.
The product is from about 4,000 acres ,
the yield being about ten tons of beets
to the acre , the company paying $ -1.00
per ton that yields 14 per cent or less ,
with a premium for higher grades.
The beets grade well this season , and
the farmers are netting about $35 pei
acre from them.
Last year's product has been all sold ,
Mr. Leavitt says , but this year's prod
uct is not being sold for the present ,
but is being stored , as the sugar trust is
now soiling in Omaha its sugar in com <
petition at a loss of about 75 cents poi
100 pounds , as rated on this year's price
of Gabon raw sugar though not at lessen
on the price paid for the raw sugar lasl
year , which is the product still belnf
sold here. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
