I A THE NORFOLK NEWS' Fill DAY , ,1U1Y 27 , 15)00 ) , THE NORTHWESTERN TAKES OFF THE SPECIAL SERVICE. .PASSENGERS . FAILED TO DEVELOP The Expected Rush to the New Town Has Been a Disappointment and the Road Will Take Care of RVjIstra- tlon Business on Its Regular Trains. The Shoshonl train on tlio Chicago" & Northwestern will bo discontinued on Wednesday of this week , new time cnrds with the train omitted being Is sued from the Superintendent's head quarters In Norfolk today. The aban donment of tills train Is brought about through failure of development of pa tronage , there being comparatively few going to Shoshonl to register for drawing of land. This failure of In tel cat In the country opening up Is something decidedly unusual , as all opbnlngs previous to this have been attended by a tremendous rush of people ple to get frco farms. It may bo possible that during the week a greater number of people will go to Shoshonl than have thus far , but It la evident that the railroad com pany does not feel justified In continu ing the .expense of running the train with the prospects In sight. The reg istration closes August 1 , and those who contemplate trying for a piece of land have only a little more than a week to go to the front. The North western Is still In position to handle all the passengers who want to go to Shoshonl , by way of Its Black Hills train , connections being made at Chad- ron with the regular train to Shoshonl. If a rush develops during the remain ing tlmo'for registration , enough ex tras will be run to accommodate all who plan to go. The now time card goes Into effect "Wednesday at 12:05 : p. m. No'ne of the trains reaching Norfolk are affect ed by the card , except the dropping of the Shoshonl passenger. Registration Is Light. Registration at Shoshonl up to Sat urday night was 1,527 ; at Lander , C40 ; "Worlaml , 4G5 ; Thermopolls , 182. In the opinion of the land office offi cials the total registration at all plac es will bo less than 5,000 , which Is 2,000 less than the number of claims. Many who came here to secure lands have been attracted to the mountains by the recent big strike at Copper mountain , and It Is predicted that If the mining excitement continues many who came to farm will abandon that idea for the more alluring prospects of mining. Surprised at > ' _ ack of Interest. Congressman Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming was In Omaha yesterday , find In an Interview with the Bee said in part : "Wo are all interested in the Shoshone - shone opening just now and I am a llttlo surprised there has not boon a greater rush for the reservation lands. That country Is susceptible of the greatest developments and is one of the best Irrigable sections in the west. Under the present plans of the govern ment about 400,000 acres of the Shoshone - shone lands will be brought under Ir rigation. The Big Wind river travers es the reservation to the Owl Creek mountains , where It cuts through Owl Creek canyon and then becomes the Big Horn. "During the last year or two , as a member of the Irrigation committee of congress , I have traveled over 10,000 miles of Irrigable country , investigat ing conditions , and I know of no sec tion that surpasses the Shoshone coun try In this matter. Then again , the Shoshone country Is traversed by val uable mineral ranges , Including gold and copper , and lies adjacent to other fine mining sections. It Is truly a wonderland and I anticipate that the recent gold and copper discoveries In that country will be the cause of the overflow of prospectors , drifting Into the Shoshone region , and thus become informed of Its possibilities. "Tho extension of the Northwestern railroad westward and north through the Shoshone country to Yellowstone park and the extension of the Burling ton Toluca. branch southward to Its Cheyenne line at Worland means there will bo a great crossing point of those roads somewhere within the Shoshone country , giving it the best railroad fa cilities In western Wyoming. This will necessarily hurry the opening up of a great country there along all lines of industrial activity , and will ulti mately result In the Northwestern de veloping Into one of the great trans continental lines passing directly through that region and which will be the main line to Yellowstone park. Must Make the Entries at Shoshonl. In accordance with a supplemental proclamation issued by the president thfl register and receiver of the land office for the coming district shall re ceive entries for lands In ceded portion tion of the Shoshone reservation at Shoshonl , Wyo. , from August 15 to Oc tober 3 , 190C , Instead of at Lander , as provided in the proclamation of June 2 , This action was based upon the fact that the railroad now building Into said reservation will not bo construct ed from Shoshonl to Lander until af ter August 15 , and the ohango Is made to accommodate prospective entrymon. All persons who draw number at the drawing which begins at Lander , Wyo. , on August 4. 1000 , which num ber makes them entry between the dates of August 15 and October 3 , In clusive , must proceed to Shoshonl , Wyo. , and make their entries Instead of going to Lander , as provided In the " . . rt.tnHar 9 entries will bo made at Lander , Wyo. The acting commissioner of the gen eral land olllcu has announced that there- would be a sale of the town lots In the government town sites of Hoy- burn and Rupert , In the Mlnldaka Irri gation project , Idaho , beginning at Heyburn on August 20 , and at Huport on August 27. The lots will bo sold to the highest bidder for cash by the register and receiver at the townsltcs In which the lots are located.
