lider Headway.
The weather has put a check on us, but
a do not propose to remain Idle," saJd
E. C. llurd, general manager of the Omaha,
Lincoln A Beatrice Interurban road. Mr,
Kurd arrived from Lincoln Tuesday even
ins and will be In the city for a few day
to confer with Omaha stockholders re
gardlng some of the details of the work on
the new line. "A few contracts for the
minor work have practically been let," said
Mr. Hurd, "but none of them are yet In
such shape that It la worth while to say
anything about them.
"The weather has eut off all chance of
doing anything with the grading, but we
will be in shape to begin work at this end
as soon as the weather gets settled In the
spring. We shall lose no time getting
down to business and the grading will be
pushed. We expect to do some work on
the bridge at Ashland this winter. In
fact, we are going right at this work.
There is a great deal we can do. We shall
begin to drive the piles for the foundation
and prepare the piers. There will be sev
eral of thece. We expect to have wooden
piers, to be filled with stone and sunk.
Thesa will last about twelve years. When
thoy have outlived their usefulness we can
replace them with concrete foundations.
"We have considerable of a bridge to put
up there. The entire viaduct will be 1,536
feet Iohr. It will have spnna of sixty-five
feet. The bridge will be of steel and will
be fully as strong as the Burlington viaduct
over the Flstte. We have closed the work
on the line at the Lincoln end of the route
and expect to have cats running over
about ten miles of the road by spring,
we have anticipated."
Fruit Growers Dlaaatlaflrd.
A fight Is being made by fruit growers In
the southern part of Nebraska for better
rates to points In the central part of the
state. The growers assert that they have
practically been shut out of the northern
Nebraska markets as a result of the high
tariffs put on apples and peaches. They
say that they have been forced to let thou
sands of bushels of apples and peaches rot
on the ground because they could not get
them to market at a profit. Now they have
banded toRether and they have already be
gun efforts to get better rates for noxt
season. This la the first time they have all
stood together and they expect that by act
ing In concert they will not again be shut
out of the markets.
"Tea, I understand they are trying to
get better rates for next year," said a
Burlington representative. "It is still a
long ways ahead to fix rates for next
fall's fruit crops, but I presume the mattor
will be taken up by the TTansmlssour!
freight bureau at one of ta meetings. Wa
have been hauling apples under a fifth
class rating and we regard the rate as a
very low one for this class of freight. It
requires care and prompt service. They
are clamoring to have fruit put In the B
classification, which of course will give
this freight a lower rating. So far they
hare been unable to convince us of any
necessity for a lower rate. What they say
of the apples rotting on the ground is un
doubtedly true, but I ascribe this to a
large crop and consequently slow market
rather than to high freight rates. If It
Is found lower rates will relieve the dif
ficulty, and there Is promise of a large crop
next year, the rate may be lowered."
Barllna-ton Extensions.
Preparations ara being made by the
Burlington for important extensions into
the Big Horn basin. Two routes are un
der consideration tQ reach the Thermop
olls district and surveyors are in the Held
looking over the ground. The routes to
be taken depends, of course, on the re
port that the engineers make. It is ex
pected that the new extensions will be
commenced In the spring If It Is found
advisable to make the improvements. Val
uable agricultural and mineral fields will
be opened up by the proposed line. The
improvements have been under consider
ation for a long time but action has been
forced urjon the company by the an
nouncement of the Northwestern to build
Into that country from Casper division.
"We have the matter of the extensions
into the Big Horn basin under considera
tion," aald Q. W. Hoidrege, general mana
ger. We have surveyors in the field who
are going over the ground. It it is de
cided to build we shall strike out from the
Cody branch, either at Frannle or Garland.
Two routes are under consideration. One
Is up the Big Horn river to Thermopolls
and another branch is up the Gable river.
There is a large and promlning country in
there to develop and it is attracting a great
deal of attention owlnj? to the rich mineral
and agricultural possibilities."
While the proposed Improvement antici
pates at prcsenj an extension only Into th
tug Horn Damn, it is believed the line will
be extended into Idaho. Rumors are per
sistant that the Burliugton has such plans
under consideration. Mr. Hoidrege said he
knew of no other improvements of this kind
