- IjUSHTON,' 'Neb., Dee. .-(8pecia!.)-A
shipper of grain here learned something
regarding rates on grain over the North
western and th. Burlington railroads and
was, made a rate on shipment of wheat
. through or around Omaha that waa not on
the published tariff rates, but Is supposed
to have boen made this shipper by reason
- of tit. cut rat. mad. by the Great Western
and the agitation of the Omaha business
men for a grain market In Omaha, This
grain dealer ordered a grain car empty for
' wheat to be shipped to Omaha, and as a
shipment to Omaha waa out of th. ordi
nary and customary way of billing grain
th. railroad aent' asked him "where do
you Intend to hill the grain after It gets to
OmahaT" - He was told that It was going
to Minneapolis over, another road that
made a cheaper rate, and that by getting
the ear billed to Omaha and then ahlpped
over another roua he oould get a better
rat. than the published through rates on
,tho railroad here. The local agent at once
took th. matter up with th. head office In
Omaha, and It was not long until he had
instructions to acept th. car for shipment
- direct through over their road ' to Its
destination and to make a rate that was
the same. Binre that time the, grain buyer
Has been taking advantage of this rate.

Reality and Wyoming
People Are Elated.
CHEYKNNE, Wyo., Dec. 22. (Special.) A
telegram wa tecelved today from Colonel
W. F. Cody, who Is now In New York, tat
Ir g that he hid secured $3,500,000 In cash for
the big Cody-Salisbury canal and irrigation
project in th. Big Horn basin' and that
work will be commenced early In the spring
on this and several other enterprises in
northern Wyoming.
The Cody-Salisbury canal waa planned
years ago, but not until now has Colonel
Cody been able to interest sufficient, capital
In the schema to warrant going ahead with
the project. The canal will be seventy-five
miles in length. The hesdgate will b. in a
deep canon where the Shoshone river cut
through Cedar mountain, six miles above
Cody City. Th. big ditch will pass to ths
north of Cody City and will carry sufficient
water to irrigate several hundred thousand
acres pf land. Of the tract to be irrigated,
however, 80,000 acrea have already been
segregated Under the Carey act and there
are 33,000 acres more of tillable land below
the 80,000-acre tract to be reclaimed.
What it Costs a ad What It Mease.
It Is estimated that this canal and Irriga
tion project will cost approximately $1,900,
0C0, but when completed It will be one of
the most complete systems of irrigation
to be found anywhere. The land to be
watered is J he richest of any to be found in
th. Big Horn basin. It is the land selected
by .Buffalo Bill after traveling all over the
west and examining millions of acre of
arid tract. . i. - , ,
In addition to the building of the big
canal the $3,600,000 will be used In building
mercantile establishments, establishing
breeding farms,, building hotels, hunting
lodges and summer resort In the moun
tains west of Cody and th. establishment
of stage and automobile lines from Cody
to the Yellowstone park. Colonel Cody ha
already arranged for the stag, line, which
will probably be In operation In time to
car for the tourist travel to the park the
coming year.
People here are In high feather over the
prospects for the speedy development of
the northern part of the slate. .
