BUILD FROM CASPER TO OGDEN Stretching a Steel Band From Pres ent Terminal to Utah , Thus Throw ing Norfolk Into Most Important Position on Trans-Continental. Chicago , April 15. The Chicago & Northwestern Is perfecting arrange ments to build a line across Wyom ing , from Casper , Wyo. , to Ogden , Utah. It Is to ho constructed by the Chicago nnd Pnclflc , which Is con trolled by the Northwestern. This will give the Northwestern a short route to Ogden from the Black Hills , through Casper , Its present terminus. It Is not the Intention of the conn- pany to become n trnns-contlncntal line by building to the Pnclllc coast , owing to Its close tralllc relations with the Union Pacific and Southern Pacillc railways. Connections can bo made with the latter at Ogden and the tralllc alliance between those roads will not bo disturbed. A fran chise held by the Northwestern to build across Wyoming expired two years ago , but it is bolloved that the Chicago and Pacillc Is organized to secure the rights lost In the expira tion of the former franchise. If the now line thus reported to ho planned by the Northwestern , should materialize , It would merely mean that Norfolk's position would bo made the more advantageous as a distrib uting point on tlo ; trans continental. With Ibis connection between the Great Lakes , the Twin cities and the route from Chicago , direct , there wouldn't bo another city on the map that could touch Norfolk's growth. With the territory from hero west over the continent there would be more wholesale houses hero than there now are. But there is a great big Hold tributary to Norfolk this minute , waiting and longing to be de veloped.
