ATKINSON , Neb. Fcb 13 ( Special ) If
the present appearances lire to ho rcgardcil
ni pny Indl-alltns , It Is probable that the
first jear of the twentieth century will bo
a iceord-breakcr In the matter of rellroad
building In tht > west , partlculaily In nrth-
wentirn Nebraska In the HrM plare , the
Imitations point to the Fremont , Elkhorn
& MtKsoiirl Valley rnltrnul rarrjlng through
Its long-promised extension ft am Casper
In fact II boeniH thai It will be fnrced to dose
so to prelect what It regards as Its Uglll-
inalo territory from the encroachments of
the Burlington & Mls-iourl Hlvcr road , which
Is itimored to far preparing to build from
Gerlng , In Spoils Bluff county , west to con-
nc < t with the Cheyenne ft Nnrlhein , of which
It Is bald to have scoured the control. This
will take the Burlington & . Missouri Into the
lcrrltor > of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis-
hourl Valley road at Orin Junction , with fa
cilities for further encroachments upon Its
tertltory Another matter of Interest to this
icctlon of the country Is the present activity
of the representatives of J J Hill , the
present owner of the Sioux City & O'Neill
Short Line and tuu proapcrts nf a speedy
exlcnrlon of that road to Alliance. Neb. It Is
.
thought there Is an undciHlanding between |
thn managements of the Oreat Northern and |
the Burlington ft Missouri loads In this mat
ter and that this stretch of road Is bolus
confirm ted In the Interest of eich of those
llnrs. It will be a vnry marked advantage
to both roads and an Immense benefit to this
lection cf Nebraska.
Solltll ( O C'OMll.
A thlid cnleiprlMc thai Is attracting KOIIIO
attention IK the NcbraxKa & Gulf , organized
bv .ludgo Ccsine , Charles Dietrich , W II.
Lannlng and other capitalist. ) of Hastings ,
Neb There is considerable Interest being
felt In this line from the fad that It will
nhoiten the distance to the seaboard by sev
eral hundred mllPH and render the cost of
transportation to New York about half what
It Ih now.
Thin IK a new departure In railroad build
ing In thla country Iloi'toforc all roids
have sought tin hcabo.nd at the cast , and
almost If not quite all the great loads of
this country have tiaverHCd the continent
from east and webtbout the only excep
tion to this la the Illinois Central and the
Port Arthur loutiThese roads have dem-
onstiated Iho advantage to thlrf part of the
country of .1 north and south road On ?
of the items of advantage of this load Is
that It enables the grain merchants at
KansnH city to pay 7 cents more a bushel
for grain than meichants at other points
can pay and still market the grain with the
Fame margin of piotlt. Then again there
Is a p.xvlng to the rallroadh. The load fol
low ing Iho natural decllvltv of the country
Is enabled to haul heavier trains at a less
cxpenso than roacN without this advantage
and with heavy grades
The Nebraska & C.ulf proplc now have a
eoips of men In Boyd county bceklng an
available route and trying to gel options
for a right of way. They are presumably
Reeking In reach the large cattle ranges In
the White river country But It Is not at
nil probable that this pait of their road
vill ever be built , for the reason that it
Is said by engineers famillxi with the coun
try to be an impracticable route becaiibc
of the conditions which obtain In thai sec
tion. In" the firsl place the condition of
the banks of the Niobrara liver are such
that 11 can be bridged al but two places.
The only points whrre the conditions are
favorable to bridging are at tbo
Whiting bildgc , north of O'Neill , and at the
point vvhero the Atkinson & Northern crosses
the Niobrara. It is understood that this
branch of the Nebraska & . C.ulf road has not
pot beyond the paper btage , and the prob
abilities arc that it never will.
London CiiilnllNtn | lull-rented.
The rest of the road Is not only a possi
bility , but Is regarded as a probability.
Charlna Dotrlcii of Hastings , who is presi
dent of the C.ciman National bank at Hast.-
liigs , was In Now York last fall In the In
terest of the Nebraska & Gulf and It la
understood he succeeded In Interesting S.
K. Llghtfoot , a representative of a largo
1 ody of London capitalists , In the scheme
and Mr Detrlch made a trip to Ixjndon ,
v , hero ho succeeded In securing a guaranty
of J46.000.000 If he would get the Nebraska I
& CiUlf in the proper preliminary slnpo j '
and would extend It op north so as to gl\c
an air line direct from Winnipeg to the
( liilf of Mexico. But this arrangement
.aemR to have broken on for bomo reason
nnd Mr Dotrlch , on the 2ntb of January ,
closed a contract with the National Finance
company of 20 Broad street , New York ,
to llnanco the entile enterprlho for him ,
thiy to furnish $ . ' 1,000.000 for the 700 miles
