John Cotton thinks there Is nothing like Do Sllva In all the northwest. Great things are promised for this youngster and it will not lie surprising If ho should become the Rube Wnddoll or Cy Young of the team In the old Iowa city. There was spine talk last full that Bradley , who , for a couple of seasons delivered upshoots to Wahoo , Grand Island , Hastings , Kearney and other towns with snappy teams that always set Fremont wild with delight , might decide to cast his lot with some north Nebraska town , cither O'Neill , Norfolk , Ncllgh or Wisner , and there has boon n revival of that talk this spring.

Further details than those given In the Yankton dispatch to The News Saturday of the now activity In the "Yankton. Norfolk & Sonthein rail- railroad" appear In Saturday evening's edition of the Yankton Pi ess and Dakotan - kotan , which says : Lust night's Issue no sooner readied the street than the biggest crop of "Doubting Thomas" developed that Yankton ever held nt one lime. U was all over the announcement that the Yankton , Norfolk & Southern rail road wan Just about to ho built , In cluding the long diearned ot bridge. It may have been for the reason that "deferred hopes maketh the heart hick , " but whatever the cause the crop of doubters was on hand and said things. Take Advantage of Former Work. With this situation In mind , Messrs. George Allen Yulllo and J. II. John son , the railroad men bore , were In terviewed this morning and asked if they had anything more to add to what they had said yesterday. In an swer Mr. Yulllo snld ho was an en gineer , who for seven months past has devoted his entlio time to the pro jected road. That ho has very thor oughly gone Into the matter and has developed its entire feasibility from all points of view , especially-tho busi ness end. He states that the fiscal agent for the whole proposition is the same man that haw purchased the j whole GnUmui Interests , which in clude right-of-way and the completed grades from here to Norfolk and In fact all the old J. T. M. Pierce Inter ests. South End Completed. Messrs. Yuille and Johnson have just returned from the southern end of the line , where 105 miles is already completed and 105 miles under con struction. That part of the road built Is from Frederick , Texas , to New castle , passing thiough Wichita Falls , with a spur to Henrietta. The road under construction extends on the north from Frederick to Altus , on the Kansas state line. On the south the road being built Is from Newcastle to Cisco , from which point Galveston Is gained by a line In operation. Con tractor Johnson has arrived in Yank- ton and will have charge from now on of the construction work at this end. Today the necessary rods were ob tained and soundings for each pier for the bridge were made at the point three and one-half miles west , where the old Yankton and Norfolk grade reaches the river. With some of this preliminary work done Engineer Yulllo will return to Chicago , to push things from that end. Not the Fremont Hill Crowd. Ono reason for a visit here at this time is to ask for a bonus of $75,000 on the same plan as the contracts signed by Yankton citizens for the Yankton and Southern. A clause will stipulate that in case the Yankton and Southern contracts , now outstand ing , held by Fremont Hill , become due and payable by reason of the completion of the Yankton and South ern , then in that case the now Yank- ton-Norfolk contracts will be null and void. Mr. Yulllo was asked what he thought of the chances for the Yank- ton Southern if his own road wont through. To this ho laughed and said his people were thoroughly convinced of the excellence of the proposition and were going ahead , regardless of anyone else and that the Yankton Southern would have to take Its chances like any other business deal would. Follow Original Plans. Asked as to what plans would bo followed Mr. Yuille said the Graham Interests having been acquired the original plans would be very closely followed , the bridge would be built wbeie ; the soundings for the piers were made today. This was at Am brose Island. That the bridge as or iginally designed of eleven spans hntl been adopted , with some changes provided the war department would agree to the changes to be suggested Mr. Yulllo emphasized that a good deal of the faith in the road came from the fact that his detailed work In the past seven months had shown that this country's big surplus , raised in the two Dakotns , Nebraska , Kan sas and Oklahoma , was going via Omaha to Duluth and Minneapolis. Ho said the new road would save seventy- six miles , bring all this vast surplus production through Yankton , using J J. Hill's road to Minneapolis. _ He also stated that ho had accurate figures by counties , of the entire territory to bo traversed by the Yankton-Norfolk & Southern and the projectors knew exactly what they were doing. Both gentlemen certainly seem to Know what they are about and it might bo a good thing to believe them , especi ally as both are quiet business men with business on hand which they np pear to understand pretty well and are willing to talk about In the manner nor of men sure of their ground and don't care who knows It. The whole situation is so different to the old way of no publicity niu snrvejor's crows , one after another coming here like thieves In the night to sneak away at sight of a man with a pencil , that sure does look good to those who have given the matter an > serious attention. The wlsu ones wll be those who profit by the opportunity low knocking at the door , Basket Ball at Nellgh. Nellgh , Neb. , Feb. 8.

Washington , Feb 8. American tar iff experts do not view with com placency the probability that the French government within the next year will put into operation a revised tariff which , It is believed , will have the effect of very seriously discrimi nating against Imports into France from the United States The condition of trade with Franco , It Is s.iid , is bad , even under tWe pres ent tariff The United States is com- pelted to pay the maximum rate on all of lib importations , and that fact Is sufllclfiil In many cases to prac tically prohibit the importation of many articles of American production. Government experts believe such ac tion by France makes absolutely nec essary a dual tariff by the United Slates , and that the new law must contain provisions for both minimum and maximum rates Not to provide for such a system , it is argued , will leave the United States helpless and weaponless in any commerclaJ war Gulf Road Extension to Denlson.

Yet now he advises a policy of wanton insult I have nothing to advise at the pres ent moment , but I cannot speak too highly In praise of the course you have followed.
