The following we find in the report Of
the Department Of the Interior to the
present Congress:
at appears from a communication from
Gen. Dix, the President of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, that it has
since the adjournment of Congress, ex-
pended more than hal. a million dollars
upon the main line of the road leading
westward from Omaha, of which one
hundred miles have been permanently
located, and forty miles are in process
of construction"
This must be gratifying news to all
who are not locally prejudlced. The
prosperity of the Pacific Railroad is the
prosperity of Nebraska. The threats of
Geo. F. Train-who has been switching
of from the Union to the Sesesh track,
ad tiBitUm-to "bust" its charter. are
thus "quashed," and sit still moves 10.
