P, Commlaaloner Wlanett Wrlln Onla- Ion la (air J. r. (taller Talk Aboat Rnntk of V. M. C A. In State. (From a Staff Correspondent.) L1XCOLN, Nov. 4. (Speclal.)-The Btate Railway commission hag issued an order directing- tho Northwestern and the Vnlon Pacific railroad companies to con nect their tracks at Albion. The opinion In this matter was written by Commis sioner Wlnnett, who heard testimony In tho matter of the compl:ilnt from several large stock feeders and farmers living t Bt. Edwards, several miles distant. The commission's findings set out that a switch at this time Is necessary, whereas It was not at the time of the settlement of the country and when the two roads were- built. . The order sets forth that the switch muBt be built within ninety days, but If this Is Impracticable of accomplishment within that time on account of tho weather, the time will be extended. Complaint was lodged with the State Railway commission by the St. Edwards feeders because of the fact that cattlemen who desired to move their stock to St. Edwards from Holt county must do so by a round-about way or are obliged to ship them only as far as Albion and then drive them to St. Edwards. The expense of building the switch, estimated by the railroad to be 11,600, was asserted to be too high with the maintenance of stock yards. The commission, however, says that the farmers and feeders are not ask ing that these be built, but only the con necting switch between the two lines. Growth of T. Bt. C. A.
