DEPOT BUILDINGS IN THE AIR Northwestern Had Announced Much Money Would be Spent on Improve , ments Over Entire System Union Pacific and Omaha Planned Depot , ( From Frldaj'B Unlly. ] Will the determinations of railroads of the United Status to inaugurate an era of moat rigid economy In depots , sidings , track extensions , etc. , have nn olToct upon Norfolk and the rout of the Northwestern system ? This Is the question which Is being asked to day around the railroads yards of thl * city. city.The The Northwestern recently announced - nounced that a great deal of money would lie expended during the coining year In Improvements. Fremont way to get $40,000 In Improvements , Nor. folk was to get a new depot , perhaps , and the line generally was to be made better In many little details. The Un ion Pacific and Omaha roads were planning a new station here. OillcialH of all railroads , however , are said ti have decided to stop all such expendi tures because of the continued demands - mands for higher wages and the con tinued public agitation which is hostile to corporations and railroads In par ticular. The announcement of an economy wave comes along , with the announcement that rates may increase In order to meet tbe demands for In creased expenses and In order to main tain the present elllclent service. If those plans are carried Into effect It Is very possible that much of the mon ey which was to have been spent will bo hold up and that freight charges will not bo reduced.

St. Paul Dispatch : That the controversy vorsy over railroad rates between tin jobbing interests at Duluth and Chicago cage , respectively , Is not over , h clearly Indicated by a dispatch re celved today from Chicago. The Chicago cage Commercial association Is no satisfied with the arrangements intuit by the Great Northern and the Western orn railroads running between Chtcag ( and Sioux City , Iowa. On November 15 , the Great North era put In some new freight rates be tween Duluth and Sioux City , makiii ! a considerable reduction In favor o the Duluth jobbers. This was done after tor long agitation for better rales b ; the Duluth commercial Interests which claimed that the lake rate fron Now York city greatly favored tin Chicago jobbers at the expense o those of Dululh. Even after the nov reductions by the Great Northern wen into effect , the Duluth commercial in terests maintained that the disadvantage ago they bad boon sulferlng was over come only one-half. The Great Northern had been hold Ing back in the matter of roducliif these freight rates for a time , fearinj a rate war with the railroads runnin ; between Chicago and Sioux City. I was hoped by the Great Northern olll clals on December 15 that the matte : of rates had been adjusted to the sat isfaction of all concerned and that tin western roads would not make a cu in their rates between Chicago am Sioux City. The Chicago Commercial associa tion , however , moved by the fear tha Duluth would get a big share of UK western jobbing trade , which Chlcagi has hold heretofore , has decided ti enter a protest against the reductioi in freight rates , which the Grea Northern has put into effect , unless : corresponding reduction is made fron Chicago. All of the railroads running betweei Chicago and Sioux City are said to b < willing to make a reduction from Chicago cage to offset that of the Great North ern from Duluth , with the exception o the Burlington , which Is controlled b ; tbe Hill Interests , and the Northwest ern.

YANKTON & SOUTHERN PROJECT Fremont Hill , the Representative ol the Newly Proposed Yankton Gull Line , Hnc Left Town and Norfolk If Thinking Over His Proposal. ( From Sntunlny'fl Dully. ] Fremont I till of New York , win : eame to Norfolk to feel the pulse ol this city In regard lo giving a bonus for the building of a YaiiUton-dulf rail road , has left town and business men are quietly discussing the proposition which was made to thorn by Mr. Hill In bilef , Mr. 11111 asked the city ol Norfolk to raise by private notes tht sum of $100,000 to bo given to the Yankton Si Southern railway company upon the completion of a line from Yankton to Galvestou. The notes wore to be deposited In escrow In some local bank and It was to bo pro. vided that none of the money was to bo turned over to the railroad com pany until the line was completed and trains running. In return for $100- 000 Mr. Hill promised that the railroad would bo built and trains run. As to the advantages to bo gained for the city by the new road , he de clared that It was another railroad for the city and thai It would Increase property value two percent , lie said that a line straight to the gulf ought to lie aide to make lower freight ratof than lines hero from New York , lie said that It would bilug lumber from the noitli Into tills section at cheap rates and that it would develop hip wheat markets hero. There is a diversity of opinion In Norfolk iis to the proposition made by Mr. Hill Many revert lo the sugai factory bonus which resulted badly for the town. Many others declare that the $100- 000 Is too much money to ask and II seems , from a discussion among bus ! ness men , that the sum of $100OOC would never be raised. Many would bo willing to vote for bonds amount ing to $25,000 for the line , but nc more. Still others believe that tht road could not well afford to cut Nor folk out of their route If the plan IE one developed In good faith. The city has already voted bonds for a Yankton-Gulf railroad three dif ferent times , but the load lias novel been built. It seems to be the general opinion of business men that Norfolk would welcome the new road , but when il conies to raining money there Is u pretty unanimous opinion that the amount asked for Is too high. RACE IN NEBRASKA. Projected Yankton-Gulf Road Woulc Mean Fight for Position. According to the present railroad plans for northern Nebraska , If all ol them are carried into effect there wIT be a race for position up around Nlo hrnrn. If the Omaha road continue ! Its line from Newcastle to Nlohrara and if it builds on from Crofton , there will be two branches which wonlr have to be crossed by the Yankton Gulf line. This would mean $1,000 foi each crossing , or $2,000 In all If the Omaha road got there first. If , on the other hand , the Yankton South' ern g&t In ahead of the Omaha , It would be winner by $4,000 saving $2,000 and receiving $2,000 from the Omaha road. MR. BRADEN SEES NORFOLK.
