Chicago Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railroad will be
extended to connect with the Central Pacific, and
that at the probable point of crossing the Missouri
river lin the disputed territory large town Will
spring up. and of course, the people of Nebraska
would like to have that town within her borders.

undary of their Territory is the natural one, and
they win to the extent of their ability, resist any
attempt to change it,
