Natal country is fairly open and al
though tho work of moving them is
difficult tho guns are liable to do good

Omaii Oct HI Tho Illinois Central
railway is I apidly completing its new
mail which will connect this city with
Fort Dodge la and the main Hue of
tint Centrals system in tho west Mr
Wallace assistant second vice president
of the road while in tho city yesterday
said Wo originally expected to have
everything completed and ready In opor
utetratnsby Inn I 1000 and we haveat
present no reason to doubt our ability to
do so The construction of a line of
railroad I It 1 miles in length in a years
time however is a mighty big under
taking and one which usually consumes
two or three years At present we have
1011 miles of track completed After the
entire track is completed ami eonuee
lions are made it will bo about a mouth
before the regular oporat ion of passed
ger and freight trains can commence
The track must bo surfaced up and
otherwise preptrcd for service This
time there ant l engines and train
crews at work on the extension We
have forces of men aside from the grad
ers and tracklayers at work putting up
water tanks building stations Mock
yards and preparing for sidetracks In
all these departments wo have per
hups 5000 men employed in Ibis work
Since tile 15th of last April wo have had
an average of 1000 teams at work and
in our grading have removed the onor
mous quantity of 5000000 yards of dirt
In Omaha wo will havo a city passon
ger and ticket otlice in the heart of the
business part of tho city and will have
representatives of our freight depart
ment located there You can depend
upon it thiil when tho Illinois Central
opens its linn to Omaha its service will
equal that of any other road and will
bo excelled by none In fact I will
venture tho statement that the Central
as soon a a its now homes in Council
Bluffs and Omaha are established will
en joy us great popularity as tiny other
road because of its superior physical
condition its excellent equipment and
the frequency and speed ot its trains
The Commercial club is preparing to
send a special train carrying 200 Oma
ha business men over the Illinois Cen
tral to New Orleans as soon as this now
connection is made
