NORFOLK F1ELS LITTLE TROU-
OLE FROM THE STRIKE.
COMPARED WITH MANY CITIES
Messages of All Sorts Are Being Re
ceived at the Local Office of the
Western Union Each Day , Despite
the Paralysis.
( From Tuesday's Dnlly.l
Norfolk IB getting along In the com
munication business In vlow of the
existing wlro strike just about ns comfortably -
fortably ns any town In the country
and another advantage of living In a
small city Is being brought to the
minds of local people. Not the slight
est echo of the strike Is visible In the
local olllco of the Western Union nor
in the local railroad ofllccs , so far ns
outward appearances are concerned ,
and the only dlfllculty experienced at
A nil Is by way of reflection from Omaha ,
Chicago and other points.
\ But for all that Manager Havlland
of the Norfolk office Is handling every
thing given to him In the way of tele
grams , accepting them subject to In
definite delay.
Norfolk Is kept In touch each day
with the city situation to a contain ex
tent through the messages that are
received for The News and other busi
ness firms. Up to date the Chicago
Western Union office Is managing to
muster enough men to send out con
siderable matter , Including each day's
weather bulletin , so that people of the
northwest keep right on knowing when
It Is going to rain , despite the trouble
In Chicago.
It Is also noticeable that the leased
wlro service from Chicago to Omaha
for the brokers has been unbroken , to
day's News containing figures from
the Chicago board of trade as though
nothing had happened.
Fearing that the Omaha office might
not bo able to handle the stuff , the
South Omaha live stock company send-
Ing live stock reports to this paper
each day Is now using the long dis
tance telephone.
But many news telegrams are com
ing to the paper dally through the
\ Omaha office , so that the wires are not
'
* completely Idle even yet ,

NORTHWESTERN TO USE OIL ON
ITS LOCOMOTIVES.
NEW INVENTION IS PRACTICAL
Northwestern Company Negotiating
for Purchase of Large Tracts of Oil
Bearing Land Near Lander and
Douglas Dallas Extension Finished ,
In purminncc of their determination
to use oil for fuel lu tlu > near future
on the Omaha-Wyoming hrnnohcH , nu
Omaha report says ( hat Northwestern
ofllclalH are steadily noKOtlntlng for
the oil fk'ldH In that state. A repre
sentative of coal mines near Lost
Springs and Doughm'yo. . , ban been
In Omaha for HOIUO time , conferring
with the Northwestern otllclalH ,
Messrs. Walters and McFnrland.
Ever Hluco the first test of the oil
burning locomotive , In which It wan
demonstrated flint the new Invention
Is prnctlcnl , the Northwestern bus
been steadily gobbling up the oil terri
tory In Wyoming , first the famous
Henderson wolln In the northern part ,
from which n pipe line Is being run
to Hudson , and now from the Douglas
district.
The mines about Lost Springs nro
rich with coal and the geological Mir-
voy of the United States assorts there
IN undoubtedly an unlimited amount of
oil to be found In the same territory ,
Consequently nn eight-mile extension
Is being built to that district and noon
several wells are to bo mink.
A Northwestern official In Omaha Is
quoted as having said :
"Tho Northwestern Is after nil the
oil It can get and doubtless Intends ( c
operate oil burning locomotives In the
future. Already it has obtained st ;
many wells that n great deal of oil has
had to bo burned because of a lack ol
tanks. "
The decision of the Wyoming am
Northwestern to use oil on the lint
between Casper and Lander has In
creased the activity In oil develop
mont In that state also , especially In
the Dry Creek field. Outfits nro al
ready at work In that section sinking
wells and a spur will bo built to them
from the main line , which Is but ten
miles distant. The first oil deliveries
are expected within sixty days.
The representative of the Lost
Springs territory now in Omaha , and
who has been In conference for some
time with the Northwestern people In
regard to the development of the sup
posed oil beds there , said Monday :
"I have been told on good authority
that the Northwestern Intends to push
their oil burners , and for this reason I
have been Instructed by my people to
offer our lands to them. Wells will
probably soon be sunk near Douglas. "
AN HISTORICAL EVENT.
Last Spike Is Driven on the Dallas Ex
tension.
Dallas News : The steel Is nil laid.
The last spike Is driven. The railroad
has reached the only gateway to that
great commonwealth , Trlpp county ,
soon to be opened to settlement. The
tie that binds a land mad multitude
to the last unsettled choice land In the
corn belt Is completed. It was Indeed
an act of historical significance Satur
day when the last spike was driven
that completed the railroad to Dallas ,
The Northwestern permeates the
great agricultural states of the union ,
congested , crowded , teeming with n
horde of bomeseekers restlessly await
ing the moment when they may en
ter the fair domain of Tripp county ,
To the hundreds of thousands who will
register and the thousands who will
secure homes the completion of this
line Is a matter of vital interest.
In Tripp county the coyote now sings
his mournful evening song nndis-
urbed , the meadow lark jauntily
swinging from his blue stem perch
pours forth the note that emphasizes
rather than breaks the silence of an
unpeopled prairie. Ere long the blue
stem will give place to fields of wav
ing grain and growing corn and the
evening song of the coyote and note
of the lark will be lost in the hum of
civilization.
