There is no longer any doubt concerning the liroposed eastern cutlet of the Union Pa cific throuirh the building of a line to bo known as the Sioux City & Northwestern , nn exclusive announcement of which was uindo in THE BEE several days ago. Late yester day afternoon u reporter was admitted to the private compartments of u well known rail- vruy official , and was shown u profile of the survey of the new road , which , though eichty miles in length , furnishes the Union P.icilio direct connection with the lake steamship lines , and ulso with the Canadian Pacillc. Mystery surrounds the project as far ns who is at the back of it is concerned The intorcstod parties have been narrowed down to three. The first , that it IB baalccd by the Manitoba ; the second , by tlio Union Pacific ; the third , by the Pacific Short Lin e company , better known UH tlio Sioux City & Ogden Hallwny company. It is presumed , however , substantiated by n slight knowledge of the fuels connected with thu deal , that the Union Pacltlc is back of it. At any -rate , the survey has been mmlo , and the line will extend to tlio northwest from Sioux City to the following places in Iowa : Leeds. James , H in ton , Merrill , Maurice , Sioux Center , Doon und Lester , ft than crosses the Dakota line , passing through Valley Springs , Pnllisado and to iHandrcnn. It will connect with the Chicago cage , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha at Merrill , la. , und again crosses u division of this road near Doon , la. It connects with the Chicago & Northwestern , proper , at Maurice. la. , und the Dakota division of the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omnhn nt Valley Springs , Dnk. It intersects the Chi cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul near Hull , In. At Pulllsadc , Dak. , it connects with the Manitoba. It extends northward from Palll- sade , und terminates by topping the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul at Klumlrciiu , Minn. Its Una from Sioux City to Pnlllsudo Is direct. From Pnllisado a direct opening Is furnlshnd to Dulutli nud marina ports , through the Manltob.i. The appearance of the road settles nil controversy as to such u line being under headway.

Horses cannot haul the heavy machines at a faster pace up the stoop incline. As sot forth a few days ngo , there ave 80X)0 , ( people In Omaha without sutll- clont flro protection. However , few great losses by fire occur , because the boys fool tlmt much is expected from them , and exercise extra vigiluncc. A salvngo corps , in the opinion of the chief , "is not s-o much needed in Omaha as In Kansas City , St. Paul nnd other cities , bectiusc there are few fires of consequence here. Quick work prevents that. But oiico in a while a salvage corps would be a nice thing to have in the family. For instance , " says the chiot , "wlien Polaclc's clothing store burnodasalvage corps would have made the loss $2,000 instead of $17.000. Kansas City has u corps of seven men. The expense is not very great , nnd when a man wants n salvage corps ho wants it very badly. * ' Chief Galligan wants a salvage corps , but the excellent disci pline to which his men huvo been sub jected reduces lire losses to- the minimum , so thut u great many people think the corps is not an immediate necessity. In t > ome eastern cities and western , too , the insurance companies maintain a corps. Hero in Omaha they have several times talked of such a thing , but never did anything further. There is u gtcut deal of romunco about and within a lire houso. especially ono of the older ones. But the boys don't like to talk about the past very much. The romances jiro very likely to huvo a tragedy in then , , und to recall memories that are anything but picas- ant for the narrator. In many other ways , too , these places have an Interest for the average reader. Of course , it would bo naturally well understood , that firemen are always on duty , except for such short vacations as they may got from a rather conservative board of commissioners. That is to say , a fireman on duty is subject to call at uny time during the duy or night , seven dajs a week. Now , in view of the fc ct that the department is covering moro territory than an equal number of men elsewhere , and consequently is subject to calls oftoncr than should be the case , it might bo thought that they would find no time to keep the houses tidy , to make repairs and read. But they do , und do many other things which would surprise "tho average reader. " Who would credit the boys of No. 1 with either the inclination or ability to climb the ridge-polo of a burning house like a trapeze performer , and to operate u piano , kept in excellent trim in their own houbo with equal facility and grace. ( That remark uncut tlio ridge-pole of a burning building , sounds just a trillo trite , but that's the way Chief Barnes put it.Barncs ) plays several pieces with much agility , but TIIK BBK man is re liably and quietly informed that Cap tain Simpson's "ta rarum" is about bo von octaves and ono hip ahead of anything Barnes can produce. As usual , ono must look to the merry men who compose the rank and lilo for music , and it is from among the latter that No. 1's piano claims it most at tentive followers. The quarters in this same No. 1 have no equals in the whole list of BIX in the matter of neatness und homo-like comfort. A bed whose snowy linen forbids its use lor Boating purposes is sot apart for each man , and cueh has a locker for his clothes. There are curtains in the windows , pictures on the wall , and a do/.en and ono other little evidences of rellnomont not ordinarily found where mon have have to do the worlc alone. On the east wall hangs , among others , a frame enclosing a group of four old photographs. The quality of a man's soul shines out through his eyes , the noul' windows. These mon wore martyrs. And the half-faded likenesses on the wall uro not mute. They uro moro expressive fur in the light of duty performed than any human tongue. One September night In 1878 those mon wont out to answer n call for help. The Grank Pacific hotel was in Humes. They wore volunteers , young , strong and bravo to u fault. JIuman lives wore ip danger. Ladders were hoisted to windows. There was u crush. A cry wont up from the crowd that the walls had fallen on some fireman in the building. The crowd below was breathless ; waiting , waiting , ovet-y nye fixed on the slowly ascending figure. Several days later , from among the ruins , the charred fragments of four human bodies MoNumura , Wilson , Hockfolt and Randull wore removed. Oh , the glory of such a dentil ! Never liiBoogor in Htory have their heroic deeds lGon heralded , but in the hearts ol their comrades their nohlo example is cherished , und their memory hived und revered. Tlio life of a fireman is usually commonplace mon-place ; not so his deuth , if it bo at the poht of duty. But turn for u moment from the grave to thu light , Up at No. 1 the boys hnvo a grassy yard that fairly laughs with llnword. Nowhere is there grass softer and moro vivid In color , or fuller of promise for future beauty. Against u back ground BO perfect , the ( lowers , the bright and the sober , stare saucily up at the visi tor. There is u peculiar vigor in the Boil , from which at least ton feoljms been graded , and a something in the ulr and care they receive that makes these llowors Boom brighter than others of their kind. Porhups H is becuuno the eight i one BO utterly unoxnoctod. It wus ut first bight something like the pluno up at No. 1 , only moro so. While thu scttbon was yet young , creeping vines , the sweet pou , morn ing glory'and the cyprots vine , wore planted in the earth beneath the win dow B. Now they huvo climbed to thereof roof und the windows are circled ubout with a pretty musfa of clinginj , ' vines and grooti loaves , clotted closely with vari colored blossoms. In the circled and octagonal beds below - low are the rich golden yellow of the marigolds , the ungainly phlox , remind ing ono ns u stands ulono among the flowers , of a tall , gawky country lad just arrived among the city youths at a big school. It it ) long , lank , top-heavy ; sort of run to ours and eyes , like the country boy again. The punslos and mignonette * , the olysiums clustered about the feet of the first named , nstors not yet in bloom , verbenas in job lots and assorted col ors , geraniums and balsams ; gaudy , sensuous pinks , the cold sturdy cactus , ana the dainty , dimity , bewhiskered - whiskered pnnslos. What n profusion of lovolinosH , to bo stirol And to think tlmt Captain Crowley could bo so vorsa- tllel IIo Is u man of grout strength , but ho can pluck thu tiniest tlowor with all the tender grace of n woman. And so ouch house in turn hni some thing attractive about it. To tell about all would bo along tusk , much too long. The reader muy regret that no records of fust time are given , but the fact is there are no reliable records. The Omahadoi artmont , underChlof "Jack ' Galligan , has never aimed much at fancy record-making , but somehow nearly always gets in Us work in an oITective sort of way that should bo and is much appreciated. .
