V _ , , IT WILL MEAN MOKE THAN PEO PLE THINK. A NOHTHWESTEKN EXTENSION The Law Mrnnn Much to OninliJi and to Sioux City nil ( I to Gregory Conn * ty , but It Means More Than That to Norfolk , After All , Snyu One. I Prom Hntunliij'h Dnllv.l "I coiwldor the passage of the KOHO- hud rwrvntlon hill IIH the moHt Im portant event In the progress of Nor folk thnt hiiH bofnlh'ii the city for u very great period of tlmo , " remarked Hon. W M. llobortmm yostordny uf- toriiooii. In tipi'iildng of the possibility of the 'president's slgnatuio. "I don't bollovo thnt the whole population of the toun quite appreciates the im portance of Iho measure , hut It must positively nnd Immedlntely moan , It would Heom to me , a gieat many things for Not folk. " "Ultlmaloly It will moan , beyond n doubt , the ndvnneliig of the North western rnllroad thioiigh Iho reserva- Ion and on out westward to the I'a- dllc conn ! I look for the Northwest- em line to bo Iho main line between NebnuiUa and I'oitliind. Hum making II the main Hue of trallle for freight that will come lu and go out between the United Slates and Asia. " Located IIH It is , Norfolk muni de velop rapidly and constantly as the real railroad point for the now north west anil thnt an oApnndod now northwest when this line of railroad Is extended. Thorn Is no doubt in the world that the Northwestern Hun -will go further west. For years It linn been trading at Omnha with the Union 1'aellle. but the tlmo will even tually rome wliun Its own truck Is built out to the 1'aelllc shores. And when that tlmo does come , whether It goes through Casper or through the llosobiul resorvntl'in , Norfolk will bo on the line and will ' bo very Importantly on the lluo nt that. Situated n day nearer the Hoaohnd Ur the lllnck Hills on trnlllc and trade ns Is Norfolk right now than Omaha , Norfolk must bo developed into n very gonornl distributing point ns the Hold is Increased. There nro nl- ready wholesale houses here supply ing the trade In the now northwest. There nro nlready retail stores here which ought to bo getting the shop ping which Isn't nut lulled to stay nt homo throughout that territory. And consotiuontly , when the North western road docidea to push its stool further Into tlio unexplored west , n llttlo Chicago must result somewhere to do the distributing nnd that some where , by virtue of the location and the accessibility , must bo Norfolk , Nebraska. Them are thousands and thousands of square miles of territory out b' - yonrt the Rosebud reservation upon which no human being , save the In dian of tlio plains and the cowboy of the trail , has yet set foot. My right of discovery that territory , rallroady spunking , belongs to the Northwest- rn. And Iho North western , as soon as the iiooiilo ) > nin | to till up that territory r possibly a llttlo before Ylll B < J on Into It and develop the land Into towns which will uootl pio- .visions. The line from Plerro could bo very onslly connected over It Mid from any point up along ; the line , as far west as Portland , the nuoplu could get on a train and ride right straight through , without stopovers or delays , to Norfolk , Nebraska , or Chicago , 111. , with a porfcroneo for Norfolk on account of the location. The passing of the Rosebud hill will mean much for Fairfax and for Uonesteel and for all northern Ne braska , for the matter of that , tilling up the country and making the lands moro valuable It will moan much for the cities on the Missouri every city In Nebraska , because It will bring business to Omaha and to Lincoln and to Fremont. Sioux City Is great ly interested because it will bene'H ' Sioux City , but Norfolk will hoieno - llttod moro than all of the rest of them combined , throwing It dlrectiv In the route of the goers and the corners , and making this the head quarters and the permanent distribut ing point. High School Alumni , The high school alumni association will meet at the high school building next Tuesday evening for the purpose of making plans for the reception of the graduating class. Hvory member is urgently requested to ho present at tills mooting. Talk of Shady Groves , The question has been asked in our hearing recently about the question of celebrating the Fourth of July or hav ing another street fair.

HER MOTTO IS TO DO IT NOW. "Don't Walt , " Says She , "For Wo Never Hnvo the Present With U& But Once" Which Was All Right In Sentiment If a Dlt Illogical. fFimn H'ltwilny'n Dally. ) "I really don't know about this ex pense of getting on In the world , after all , " remarked Cunning Carrie , who was early In tlio secret hall of the Leap Year club last night , and who was apparently and very vividly nervous vous from the fact that nho had some thing to Hay. Cunning girls , especial ly the cunning ones who know that they are cunning , are seldom good for accomplishing much In any par ticular line of thought. Still , Carrie did pretty well , they said. "Now , for Instance , I have about made up my mind to propone to a young man that I know , hut 1 really don't Know how to figure out what It IH going to cost us to live. This club IH secret , and It IH for our mutual benellt , I take It. Will Homo one give mo an Idea. " "Kilgar Howard , the Columbus man , " suggested Knowing Nellie , who keeps up to date by reading the timely topics and the Atchlson Olobo KlghtH , "says that ho known of a fel low who married a girl down there and lived on ? ! ! ( ) ( ) a your. I don't know how they lived , but I gui'tu ( hey did. And after while the fellow got $ ( iOI ( and now he's goetlng more , but he's boon getting more happiness out of his life than a dozen others , who waited until they got rich before starting In. His advice Is to do It now , and that Is what I should s-iy lo you , Carrie , If you can see your way clear at all. "Conditions of marriage haven't changed much In the last hundred or thousand years. People are still get ting married though uncertain as to the future. They did and they always will. If they used to do it they can do It now. And the people who don't got married you may expect worse things from , HO go ahead , Carne , nnd trust to luck. "It strikes mo that you are the one to decide this , and not wo gtrls. This Is a matter that everyone s-honld decide to suit himself. If wo'd toll you not to marry him , you know you'd run away and do It any way. Of course they don't run away now days qulto so much as they used to , but still they do run away , girls , and It hasn't boon so very long ago that it was qulto a popular fad. A lot of people who did It hate to admit that It's the thing to do , but do you know , Carrie , you can never bo foolish In your life hut once and If I were you and wanted to bo really happy , 1 should try to he foolish about this one matter my homo and the people that belong to mo nil of my life ( long. "Thoro Is too much gene out of lives of those people who got serious about it all. The first thing they begin to think that they might have done better by marrying someone olst someone , perhaps , with a little moro money , and then it is all off for fall' . "My advice to you , Carrie , nnd It Is really bettor advice than a lot of people know , would be to go ahead , ho just as frivolous about the future as you know how. enjoy your life right now , this present that wo have with us now may leave us some day , you know and you'll be a whole lot happier girl. " Amiable Amy told the club about a follow down in Indiana who has to get married within two years time or give up his political job , and the secretary was Instructed to send him pictures of the club. It was nt first decided to send the group photograph of them all , Hut Sarcastic Sarah's head was turned a little in that and she Insisted upon the individuals. So the Individuals went. Linguistic Lulu wondered If Sarah's head wouldn't bo turned moro than over If she should happen to get the chance to marry the fellow.
