I tHMI ,
STORY THAT THE OMAHA LINE IS
TO DC EXTENDED.
CONNECT WITH DLACK HILUS LINE
Would Touch Fremont , Norfolk and
O'Neill and Then Turn North Into
South Dakota to a Union With the
Chamberlain-Rapid City Line.
The following story was printed In
the Oinnhn World Herald within the
past few da > s. The possibilities for
Norfolk tlmt nro contained In tliontoiy
f mean a great deal for the future of
city , and It IB only hoped that the
"World-Herald may not ho mistaken.
Hero IB what the paper says :
In order to connect with Its Pacific
coast extension , the Milwaukee road
will , It Is said on the authority of a
prominent Milwaukee official , build nn
extension of Its line from Omaha to
Homo point on the Chnmliorlaln-Raplil
City extension In South Dakota , and
thus Omaha will got a new outlet to
the west.
This Information comes from a man
who lias been associated with the Mil-
* j I waukce for veais , and who Is In on
5 " * the "Inner councils" of the road The
* line will not bo begun , ho savs , bofoie
( spring at the earliest , but \\hcn It IB
> , begun will be taken up and pushed to
J completion with all possible speed
; ' The now line will In all probablllt >
run from Omaha to Fremont , thuiiee
, to Norfolk , thence to O'Neill , then In a
I northwesterly direction , through north-
| J orn Nebiaska Into southern South Da
) kota , striking the proposed Chamber
lain extension of the Milwaukee a lit-
L tic west of midway between Chamber-
f lain and Rapid City. This Is given as
j the piobablo route , and jet Is onlv
' ' , conjecture It IB known thai a pirty
of Mil\\uuUee survc > ors have been at
n work between Omaha and Fiemonl-
' also from Piomont to Not folk , and on
to the noiUiwest. This work has been
done quletb , and no uno has known
.1 until recently that tlie sur\eying outfit
i In thnl section of the countrj was the
' ? Milwaukee's
j The now line , it Is aigucd , would beef
of ticmundous honcflt to Omaha I
would affoid a new outlet for Omaha
and the lines ladiating fiom the eas
Into Omaha to the northwest. It wouh
also bring the nottliwestein part o
the United States Into closer cointnun
icalion with Omaha Tlie Pacific coas
extension of the road will bring ai
immense volume of business eastward
pait of It to go tliiough St. Paul , am
a great part of it through Omaha 1
the new line is constituted.
A part of the tonltory that would
be tiaversed would be entliely new ,
and Its development would open up a
new field for Omaha.
