HILL CROSS LINE IN WYOMING
Burlington is to Build South from
Kirby Oyer SUte.
SEW B0UTE JUST MAPPED OUT

( New lonntr. .t-iuand that
Hill Balld llw. Line of
Track. Noon.
Rumor are rife In rullroad circle that
the- Burlington 1 preparing to build at
once r new line across the central part
of Wyoming. outh from Kirby.
This line h been planned for some
time, but the financial depression uf two
years ago put a atop to the work. In the
meanwhile. Arnnu Boysen built his huge
dam in the Big Horn gorge, which shut
out' the beet practical way or getting south
from Kirby and TnerniupoUs. Large force
of engineer have been at work nil spring
trying i find a new Water grade which
the Burlington might ua In getting from
the Big Hum Basin to. tha country along
the North 'Platte' river.- It is understood
that a new route hna been figured out by
the engineers arid' that the road Is prepar
ing to build at onceW"-v,
Hill for three years ha been building a
second Une .across Wyoming, but difficul
ties have' been Ynet which have delayed the
work, until-'now- It Is almost a necessity.
Traffic' from the great 'northwest over the
Burlington northwest line is becoming
heavier and hettvlar all the time and it I
now expeoted ' l forge aheid by leaps a'id
bounds,- since the gap ha been built con
necting ' tha ,i Turlington with the second
Hill line 4. he Great Northern.
Through passenger train will be run to
Seattle from Omaha over both the North
ern' Pacific and the Great Northern and
extra local trains- have made the single
trark between .Omaha and .Billings . alto
gether too crowded and It la necessary for
Mr. Hill to seek relief In I second line.
It is thought the Burllngon will build
eouth through" Therraopoll and use the
Northwestern track east to Orin Junction
where the Colorado A Southern rails will
be used to Cheyenne and Denver.
BffW .MalUfia In Sunday.
Beeomlng erTtlv fcilrtday," Omaha will
be somewhat benefited by the railway
mall service over the Northwestern be
tween Norfolk, northwest and Omaha, and
Fremont. Lincoln, Hastings and Superior,
west and southwest.
Train No. R. a new locab on and after
Sunday, will leave Omaha at 215 p. m.
Instead of S p. m., aa heretofore. This trMn
will arrive at Fremont at S:SX, at Norfolk
at 7 P- m. Mali service will be put on this
train, which Is exclusively a locsl. thus
giving an advantage of one hour and forty
minutes for the local malls to Fremont
and Norfolk. Lincoln. Hastings and Su
perior. Train No. 3. the through mall, known as
tha Deadwood train, will leave Omaha at
$55, arriving at Fremont 6 25 and Norfolk
8 06. This train will also carry mall, but
la not essentially a local train. All Omaha
mall going to points between Omaha and
Norfolk and Omaha and Superior ahould
k. aent out on tha early lecal train.
Returning there will be a new train from
Long Pine, leaving that point at 13:30 p.
m., arriving In Omaha at 10:S0 p. m. Thi
new train will pick up the Dallas. S. D..
made, thus giving Omaha the advantnge
pf three or four hours earlier mails from
South Dakota points served by may of
Norfolk Junction.
Thirteen dining cars will be needed to
equip the Burlington train west of the
Missouri river when the change are made
In train service Sunday by which Sn.Oofl
trains miles a month will be added west of
Omaha. The Burlington system now has
thirty-three dining cars In operation with
five new cars In the shops. Almost ready
for delivery. In the commissary depart
ment of Its road the Burlington road has
o-er 400 men employed to see that patrons
of the road get enough to eat.
More Tracks at t'nlon Depot.
Union Pacific officials are considering
the plan of enlarging the trackage facili
ties st I'nlon station at once and a meeting
of the depot company may be called to
order the work to proceed at once. The
plan for the new tracks and for the over
head aprons were drawn some time ago,
but the work has been delayed until It 1
almost an absolute necessity. Not only are
the trackage facilities Inadequate, hut the
depot Is a so most crowded because so many
trains enter and leave the station within
such a short space of time.
Council Docks
Pete Elsasser
Takes Ten Dollars Out of His Pay
Envelope for Missing One
Meeting.
Peter E. Elsasser. retiring councilman
from the Tenth ward, will receive $115 for
his last month's pay Instead of $126. This
Is because he was not present at Tuesday
evening' meeting of the council, and for
the further fact that hi absence was over
looked by his colleagues and he was not
excused. Under the charter a $10 fine will
be assessed.
"I'll tell you one thing," said Mr. El
sasser the next day when he fouund that
hla democratic brethren had failed to have
him excused, "and that Is that any absent
councilmen at any meeting which I have
attended have been excused. I would even
imaae a moiion 10 excuee, rmrry .iiiiiiibh,
but Harry has never been absent, so I
never had the chance.'.'

Weather Gives
Corn Good Start
Conditions Are Favorable Along the
Burlington for Growing
and Planting.
Weather has been especially favorable for
giving the corn crop a good start in Ne
braska, according to the Burlington' crop
reinrt. Planting Is well along In all parts
of the state where corn Is raised and In
many places the work of planting corn Is
completed. On the ' MeCook division, with
seasonable rains from now on there is no
reason why there should net be an average
crop of corn. On the three eastern divi
sions of' the Burlington the chances are
fine for a big crop.
it Is estimated there will be 6.000 acres
of sugar beots In the vicinity of Brush and
that the acreage of Nebraska will be about
the name as last year.
Indications now are for a better fruit
crop In Nebraska than has been raised for
several years. The present Indications for
the winter wheat crop are for about 86 per
cent of an aver ige crop.
Farmers around Lovcll and Guesnsey are
getting their ditches ready for Irrigation.
The hlgn winds of the last week have made
the soli of most of Wyoming very dry on
top, but crops have not suffered and a
rain within a short' time will fix everything
In splendid shape, especially on the line,
Holdrege to Sterling. . All pastures and
meadows are greatly in need of rajn.
