Price had refused them an audience ,
and that Mr. Price had a bill intro
duced into'congress taking away their
lauds and giving them to the Arapa-

of Commissioner Price is connected

Railroad Item * Gathered ay a
Bee R porier >
The B. & M. railroad has for about
eight months boon pushing its exten
sion to Denver with wonderful enter
prise and now it is in a fair way to
completion.
In the month of August last year
work was commenced at the west hue
of Rod Willow county , Nebraska , a
distance of 247 miles from Denver ,
and now it is announced that the ox-
bansion will bo completed the last
week in May and will bo ready to
carry freig'u business by Juno 1st.
Owing to the company haviug some
now sleepers and day coaches mndo
expressly for this extension , the
passenger trains will not bo run until
July 1st , when everything will be
finally completed.
The construction of the extension
lias taken 2152 working days , an over
age of over a milo a day and very
little time has boon bat during this
work.
The B. & M. railroad company
liavo shown unusual enterprise in the
carrying out of this great enterprise
and when the short time is taken into
consideration it must bo ad
mitted that the feat will
stand foremost among the instances
of remarkable railroad building of thu
ago.

imo may bo anticibatcd , and it is the
ntontion of the company to run some
xcursiono to Denver , which will no
loubt bo found a great convenience to
ho traveling public.

ay. This shows the ability of the
oad to Bhorten the schedule time of
not only this but overland trains nov-
ral hours , and this will probably boone

eon hours.
