THE NOKKOL1C NEWS : FRIDAY , KEBHUAH.Y . 5 , 11101. w lr That is What the Man From Washington Thinks. BILL TO GO THROUGH SENATE It Is Confidently Expected That the Senate Will Have Passed It Before Saturday Night Rush of People Is Already On Expect 75,000. Yesterday's Northwestern trnln which imsseil through Norfolk to Bonostocl , carried Special Representa tive'Uackua ' of that place from Wash ington , where ho had been In the In terests of the Rosebud reservation bill , back to his homo In Gregory county. Mr. Backus was In Washing ton the other day when the Rosebud bill went through the house of repre sentatives and ho predicts that be fore Saturday ulght It will have passed as safely through the scnuto of the United States. It Is hoped that the bill may oven bo passed at the senate's session today. Having once passed through that high body of the country's lawmakers , nothing will remain In the way of opening up the Rosebud reservation of 416,000 acres of choice land , except the signing of the bill by President Rooosevelt and It Is thought by the Boncsteel man that the chief execu tive favors the measure and will ap ply his name the minute he gets sight of the paper. I "Tho Ulll went through the house without a rlpplo of objection , " said v Mr. Backus In speaking of the suc cess which ho and Mr. Lucas have had In Washington , together with Congressman Burke and others who have been boosting hard for the passage - ago of this measure which means so much to Gregory county and to the entire new northwest. "Everybody seemed to bo heartily In favor of It and I confidently expect that before next Saturday night the bill will have passed the senate as easily. It may oven como sooner. " May the Month. At the beginning of the fall , things looked far more dubious for the openIng - Ing of the reservation but now that they have brightened up and the bill Is actually being taken through the halls of legislation , there seems every prospect In the world that the openIng - Ing will soon take place. Mr. Backus oven goes so far as to state that ho thinks the drawings for those 416,000 acres of free land will bo held in May. Expect 75,000 People. "Few people can realize what a mammoth Influx of humanity will re sult the minute thattaNdzflletaoslnhr opened , " remarked a Northwestern ofllclal who was In the same car. "We look for fully 75,000 people Into the Bonesteel country as soon as the land * J. { Is thrown open to the outside world. I don't see how wo arc over going to ] take care of the traffic , but that is what wo earnestly anticipate. " Rush Now On. "In fact , " he continued , "tho rush has already begun. Every day right now we are hauling a large number of people up Into that territory for the purpose of being on the ground floor. " And to substantiate his state ment the railroad official pointed to over a dozen men In the same car who had bought tickets from different points east for the end of the railroad. Last Government Drawing. "You see It Is the last chance that the people of the United States will have at a drawing of free government land of this sort. Look at the masses of people who went down Into Okla homa. What was a vast prairie on ono day had developed into a real living city by the next. Besides that , the Rosebud has so long been adver tised and the people have for so many moons had their eyes upon it , that the minute they are allowed to get Into the game , they will rush Into that country by the tens of thousands. "Why every man I meet Is going to take in that drawing. It isn't a small per centago of them , mind you , or oven a large one It is everybody you meet from the shores of the Mississippi to the sago brush of the far west. Why It Is actually astound ing when you ask people if they are - going up. 'Going ? ' they say. 'Why of course I'm going. It doesn't cost anything to try and I'vo just as good a chance as anybody else to win a bunch of land. To bo sure I'm going , * up just the minute it is opened. ' ' Where Will They Sleep ? ' "I don't see what on earth the people ple of Gregory county are over going ' to do with those people when the rush comes on. There aren't hotels enough In the state of Nebraska , hardly , to take care of the crowds that will como this way and if there Isn't a little hit of lighting for feed and bat ting for beds , I don't want a cent. Even on that excursion up the line on September 12 , there weren't enough beds In Bonesteol to take care of the people who had como to see the reser vation , and the stores wore lined with strange sleepers that night. And if a crowd like that would go up for a look at the earth several months be fore there was anything definite In the way of n prospect for opening , what kind of a crowd would you ex pect when the real drawings are begun - gun ? "They toll mo , " , went on the railroader reader , "that there Is already a floatIng - Ing population of over flfty strange people In Bonosteel every day right now. Sonio of the cltl/ens there , who have gene in and helped make the town , have been devoting a good share ot tholr lives for a long tlmo In get ting ready for this rush which Is about to come. Means Much to Norfolk. "Of course , " ho said , "tho opening ot the reservation will mean a great deal to Norfolk. It will mean moro to Norfolk , perhaps , than It docs to any of the towns which are right In the territory. It will mean the openIng - Ing to this city of n vast amount of retail trade which will bo positively brand now. It will mean the opening up of a territory for Norfolk which ought to support a city ot consider able size. And of course Norfolk can't help taking advantage of It when It comes although there Is a great , great deal of it already that ought to count very much and no doubt docs , " NORTHWESTERNTO HAVEREVENGE Report Says That They Will Build West From Hastings to Counter act Burlington Move. The Nebraska State Journal pub lishes the following on the authority of a Northwestern railroad man : "If the Burlington railroad falls to build the connecting link with the Great Northern from Sioux City to Ashland this year , it will be because the Northwestern has been able to frighten It out of the undertaking with threats of tin extension of Its own line from Hastings to Denver. Olllclals who know the Insldo of the situation have given the Information privately that an ultimatum of this kind has been laid down by the latter road and that It will bo adhered to. "Ever since the announcement was made that the Burlington intended to build the Sioux Clty-Ashland line , the Northwestern has been up in arms against what It considers an Invasion of Its territory. The new line would run close to the Minneapolis & Omaha west of the Missouri river and below Norfolk would almost parallel the main line of the Northwcstern's Ne braska & Wyoming division. The ob ject of the Burlington Is not so much to secure local business as to provide a gateway to Lake Superior , but the Northwestern looks upon any building scheme in northeastern Nebraska as direct aggression upon its rights. "If the Burlington should persist In its Intention to build the connecting link , the starting of work upon It will be the signal for the Northwestern to begin the extension of its Hastings line west to Denver. The construction of a Denver line by the Northwestern would have its effect on all other west ern roads and probably destroy the balance existing among them. On this account , It Is not unlikely that pressure will be brought to bear on the Burlington by the Union Pacific and the Rock Ilsand to abandon Its project. "Tho question resolves Itself Into this form : Will the Burlington bo benefited more by the Sioux Clty-Ash land line than it will bo injured through Northwestern competition into Denver ? Another query that sug gests Itself is this : Would not the Northwestern welcome an opportunity to build westward upon any pretext , In order that It might become Inde pendent of the Union Pacific ? " G , A , LU1KART SUFFERS PAIN His Wounds , However , are Healing Nicely and No Bad Symptoms Have Developed. No unfavorable symptoms have thus far developed in the case of G. A.

HAVE NOW ABOUT 100 SIGNERS The New Route Will Cover a District Which Has Not Yet Been Traveraed By the Government Mall Delivery Less Than 25 Miles Long. There Is a strong possibility that another rural mall route out of Norfolk may bo established In the near futuro. Residents of the district southwest of the city which Is not now traversed by any one of the government lines of delivery , are anxious to have a service from Uncle Sam similar to that which tholr neighbors are ro- celvlng and they are going after the matter In a thoroughly organized man ner. Already a petition has been circu lated and no less than 100 names have been placed upon It. Burrol Reed Is one of the patrons whoso farm would bo on the line of travel. "It would go south on Thirteenth street , " says ho , "and would traverse the section in which llvo a largo number of people. The route would not exceed twenty- llvo miles In length. " There are now four routes out of Norfolk. They have proven wonder fully successful In many ways and those farmers who nt first were not heartily In favor of them , are now be coming fast friends to the system and are cvon boosting for its promo tion throughout the agricultural dis tricts. The rural carriers are ubout us hard worked people as the next In- dusrlously Inclined these days. Out early In the morning , no matter how cold the wcathor may bo , they drive over their territories of some twenty- live miles apiece and never return until the afternoon. They servo tholr patrons faithfully and are becoming absolute necessities In the life of every community. Ono thing that ought to bo reme died Is the pay that these men re ceive. They are obliged to furnish their own horses and wagons ; they nro compelled to wear government un iforms ; they do nothing else , to speak of , for Incomes , and they do not receive compensation of the prize package sort for their labors.
