CE GORGE FINALLY DISLODGED
THERE.
ARS OF ROCK WASHED AWAY
welve Cnrlonda of Rock , Placed
Against the Bridge's Piling , Were
Carried Away by the Swift Current.
200 Pounds of Dynamite Used ,
Nlohrara , Neb. , March fl. Special to
'ho News : Dynamite went all day
I the mouth of the Nlobrara to break
10 lee gorge In the west channel and
mi the force of the east channel from
oHtroylng the Northwestern railway
ildgo. Superintendent Reynolds gave
rdors to begin work below the bridge
nil by noon a free How to the Mis-
ourl river was secured , making the
alance of the day's work very oncour-
glng and finally successful. By 5
'clock vigorous operations on the up-
or end of the Ice obstruction brought
m main channel to the west bank of
lie river , against a chalk-rock bluff
ml under the west span , thus rellov-
ng the strain to the weak end of the
ridge , where several pilings have
eon taken out.
About a dozen cars of rock wore do-
oslted about the pilings only to ho
akon away by the current. When It
s understood that the Nlobrara river
as a fall of nine feet to the mile , It
an bo Imagined that a Hood of ice
nd floating wood , with an unusual
mount of water , can do great harm.
Superintendent Reynolds was con-
Idernbly worried Thursday night and
van on hand about 2 o'clock Friday
lornlng with a large force to see that
lie bridge was safe for the east-bound
insKongor.
Last evening ho felt very much re-
loved and Robert lOccles was by no
nouns gloomy after the successful op-
rations began at the lower end of
ho bridge instead of the upper end.
Vhout 200 pounds of dynamite was
sod In the work.
LOS ANGELES LIMITED IS DISCON
TINUED TODAY.
FASTEST ACROSS CONTINENT
After a Little More Than a Year , the
Famous Los Angeles Limited Train ,
Operated by Three Railroads , Has
Been Taken Off the Track.
The IMS Angeles Limited , the fast
est passenger train ever operated by
he Union Paclllc railroad , has been
aken off the schedule , the new time
: ard which went Into effect yesterday
erasing this service. The Los Angeles
. < linltcd train was started a little over
i year ago , on December 17 , 1905.
3very effort was made by ho Union
: 'aclilc , Northwestern and San Pedro
oads to make It pay. It is not known
tore whether the new two-cent rates
n this and other states had to do with
.he train's discontinuance or not.
This line train was inaugurated a
Ittlo before Christmas. A party of
: hlrty-tlvo eastern newspaper and mag
azine men were taken over the trip
for the flrst run , down through Death
Valley , over Senator Clark's new San
Pedro line. In the Schedule , eighteen
tours were chopped off the run be
tween Chicago and Los Angeles.
General Passenger Agent Lomax am :
Advertising Manager Alfred Darlow ac
companied the newspaper party to the
coast and gave them the time of their
Ivcs , Including a perilous rldo to Cat-
illna and back.
People who have ridden on the Los
i\ngeles Limited will regret Its discon
tinuance. Slower local trains will
lake Its place. It was a beautlfu'
; rain , electric lighted throughout , fin
ished In the richest fashion , with an
observation car , combining windows
and library and buffet , at the rear
The dining service was splendid ant
"the time was easy , " as Mr. Lomax
remarked going across the desert with
speed and luxurious equipment never
seen In Death Valley before.
The Union Paclllc's olllcial photog
rapher accompanied the Initial run o :
this train and took beautiful pictures
of the train and the garden of southern
orn California Into which It ran.
Knrouto home from that ride , the
railroad olllclals prepared ns a sur
prise a Christmas treat on board the
train. At night there was n banquet
on board , with dress suits and toasts
Whizzing homeward that Christmas
afternoon , the train Hashed by one
bound for the coast. Will J. Davis , the
Chicago theater man who was yester
day acquitted , waved his hand. A ham
on the passing train waved back. I
was William H. Crane.
LIVE STOCK CENTER.
Every time a dollar turns over In a
community , a little bit of silver dus
brushes off of it and stays In the
community. Every time a steer Is
turned over In the community , or a
horse or sheep not literally turnet
over , but figuratively a little bit o
the meat Is nibbed off and left , as a
profit , In the community.
Norfolk and the country Immediately
surroundhig Norfolk , Is fortunate In
having a largo number of steers am
horses and sheep fed hero throughout
the winter and Norfolk realizes a
pretty compensation , In ono way and
another , from the transaction.
Every animal has an appetite. That's
ho animal of It. Whenever an animal
ats a bushel of corn , that animal has
icon active In creating a market for
hat bushel of corn. Whore the steer
r the horse IK stabled In Norfolk and
< ceps on eating , the corn that Is eaten
s sold at a better price than It
vould bo in case the grain were ship-
ied away. There's where a llttlo of
he meat drops off hero at homo.
But that's a minor matter. The
eally vital feature In the Importance
of this Industry as a constructive facer -
or In a community lies In the fact
hat the grain Its real worth and Its
lower to produce meat which later
H'llB at a profit over the raw grain Is
< ept at home , producing Its wealth
right In the community whore It , Itself ,
van produced and where It logically
mght to stay and do Its work.
Every kernel of corn that Norfolk
mn keep at homo and convert Into
Ivcstock value , helps to build up Nor-
'olk. Every kernel of corn shipped
.way costs Norfolk the margin between
.he raw material and Its latent wealth
the richness Into which It could bo
converted.
And the margin between the value
of the raw material and the grain
after It has been converted Into beef
on the ribs of a living steer , comes
o Norfolk In the shape of labor-hire ,
a better profit to the grain producer
on his grain than where ho must exert -
> ort , and In the profit to the livestock
'coder , himself. This Is generally an
mportant feature of the to\vn's yearly
> roflts as a result of Industrial risk ,
ndustrlal foresight and Industrial toll.
Among the cattle feeders In Nor
folk W. II. Buttcrfield & Son are per-
mps doing the most extensive busi
ness. In Norfolk and near Norfolk
they are feeding this year about 2,000
cattle. It Is estimated that there are
approximately 500 head elsewhere In
the community , among the feeders
being Al Ommorman , Will Reed , Ray
Bros. , J. W. Glbbs , Fred Ilcckman ,
red Dedorman , Will Wattd , Robert
McKlbbon , John Sporn , William
Wagner , Sam Kent , A. E. Craig ,
harlos L. Lowe , L. L. Lowe. There
are probably others whoso names have
iot been found In the search for a list.
In nil It Is safe to say that the feed
ers who live In and near Norfolk nro
feeding 500 head of cattle. That
neans 1,200 bushels of corn a day at
30 cents a bushel or $3CO per day for
corn alone. That Is not counting the
sum paid out for labor. In six months
this corn bill would amount to $04,800.
And a little dust will rub off each of
these dollars as It turns over In the
community.
Then there's generally a net profit
on the winter's transaction of some
thousands of dollars. This Is just
that much "velvet" for the' com
munlty's upbuilding. It swells the
community's bank roll.
Many of those cattle are bought from
the western prairies of Nebraska.
Several trnlnloads came from the
Rtishvillc and Valentine vicinity last
fall. Some come from Omaha and
Sioux City yards. Some are raised
right around In this part of the state.
Another mightily Important feature
of this cattle feeding industry Is the
hog raising business. The hogs are
a by-product of the cattle feeding in
dustry. They need no feeding except
ing feed that they can "root" for them'
selves. Their care Is little , once the
cattle feeding yards are established
and tilled with steers. So 'that this
by-product is also an Important fac
tor of the Industrial upbuilding of
the community.
Norfolk , A Horse Market.
In connection with the livestock in
dustry In Norfolk , the horse market
which has been established here Is
an .Important one to the community.
Three firms making their headquarters
here are Interested In large purchase ;
of horses from this section of the
country. They pay good prices for the
animals , take care of them and sell
them to eastern buyers. Norfolk gets
the benefit of the market which they
create , both for horseflesh and for the
grain that they ( consume while In
Norfolk stables.
The buyers residing here are D. D.
Brunson , W. H. Butterfield and H. C.
Saltier.
It Is difficult to estimate the num
ber of horses which are bought and
sold In Norfolk during the year , each
animal eating up a considerable quan
tity of Norfolk grain which Is turned
Into a profit that stays here to circu
late In Norfolk , but the number han
dled by Mr. Brunson , Mr. Sattler and
W. H. Biittorftcld & Son during the
year Is very largo and It has come to
be ono of-Norfolk's Important Indus
trial factors.
In paslng It might bo noted that
Newport and Bassctt are helping to
make north Nebraska a well known
horsemnrket , several largo sales hav
ing been held at Newport by Smith
Bros. , and a good , one recently at
Bassett by Mr. Brude.
Sheep Feeding.
While sheep yards were formerly
located In Norfolk , there are none now.
The closest sheep ranch Is that of
George Berry , located between Nor
folk and Battle Creek , Mr. Berry Is
feeding 3,300 sheep.
Mr. Berry , on his 320-acre ranch
west of this city , Is feeding 3,300 head
of sheep this winter. This herd eats
tip about $25 per day In com and hay
5,000 pounds of hay each day and
bushels of 30-cent .
seventy-five - corn.
Mr. Berry raises hay but buys all of
his corn , thus affording a close mar
ket to farmers In the neighborhood ,
besides converting the grain Into a
profit which remains In the commu
nity. These sheep will bo fed for
, about five months. The profit from
this Is divided between mutton and
wool. It Is estimated that each ani
mal will render wool to the value of
$1.50.
SOCIETY HAS NOT HAD ANY
LARGE PARTIES TO GO TO.

of Judge Powers and our clients , be
promptly taken to the supreme court
