Us deiei- mlnntlon to do so is known to arise from the fact that the terms offered 1 the t'nloii 1'aclllc for the use' of lln bridge nro con sidered too high In case the Union 1'ae-tnc lowers HH terms prior to the time the Illi nois Central Is icadj to begin opor.itlon of Its trains Into Omaha , the present plans to use the terminal bridge may be abntulom I nnd an agreement entered Into xvllh tl\ \ Union I'nclllc to IMP Its bridge , provided ill I terms nro entirely satisfactory to the Illi noln General i The terminal company Is making exten sive preparations for the advent of the first pihsenger service over Us new line An admission Is made by ofllclals that the Im provements , which arc being rapidly pursued now , are to ppreparo the line for the Inau guration of the Illinois Central's passenger oorvlce The tracks of the terminal com pany join the Illinois Central within a block of the Jailer's Council Uluffs depot Thcv will carrj the passenger trains across the river and connect on this side near the" water works pumping station with either iho Union Pacific or lUirllngtnn irncks A test run made reccntlj iimlcr the supervision of Illinois Central" and terminal company ofllctals showed the tlmo bcitwcen the con nections of the terminal company with the Illinois Central In Council muffs and with the Union Pacific In Omaha lo be nine tuln- ulcs. ulcs.While While It now seems certain that the Illi nois Central Is going to use the Terminal company's bridge ard tracks the matter of which depot will be used in yet an open question and still affords much speculation The only hitch believed to exist between the Illlnolis Central and the Union Pacific relates to terms So long as no olllclal announce ment Is made by Illinois Central officials HID Union Pacific and llurllnglon consider lhat Ihcir chances for securing the new service Irto their depots Is about equal. Hurllng- ton ofllclals have named their terms to the Illinois Central nnd the delay In arriving nt n declhloii leads them to bellovo thnl the Urms are betlor than those offered by the Union Pacific. In case the Union station Is selected the Illinois Central passenger trains will bo tiansfcrred from Ihe Tormina ! fo Union Pa cific Irackfl on Ihe bo'toms ' near the old pvmplng station nnd then will bo taken to Seventeenth street , vvhera connection Is made with the depot tracks This would ncccsssitntu that the trains be backed Into the depot from Seventeenth street If the Hurllngton depot Is decided upon the trains will have to use the Burlington tracko to Olbsoii In order to make connection with the depot tracks Sdiellrx Inilnliiratlon IIIHIII > NN.
