For over six months past THE CHIEF
has been agitating the building of the
C. y. X. & S W. Ry, 4 line OF proposed
railway 10 be constructed from Red
Cloud into the Panhandle country m
Texas, and through the richest and
most fertile farming country in Kan
sas. touching many 0: the new and
thriving towns o: that state. This line
Of road would be Of ~inca.cuable benefit
10 Red Cloud, penetrating as /: does
the great cattle growing interests OF
Texas and Kansas, besides the grain
producing regions Of the latter state.
This road, when completed Will be
about $50 miles long. and III the vicin-
ity of 200 miles nearer 10 Chicago than
any other route from Texas. There is
no doubt but what a road OF this ma
ture would be we'll patronized. We
have been assured by its projectors
tina, this line would be the means OF
giving thi. section mnch cheaper fuel.
building material, ETC., than Is now
possible to procure, as the line Will
pass through well developed coal fields
and timbered lands that have al IN
exhaustabIe supply of both OF the ne
ccssities that are of such vital import
ance to our people. The road would
be Of great benefit for this if for no
other purpose. But aside from ,hese
benefits the advent of a line Of railway
like the &. y. X. & ). w. into our
county would increase the value of land
greatly and improve the prospects for
the future growth nj Red Cloud, and
be the means Of securing To MS other
important railway measures OF vast
importance 10 Our city. Red Cloud Is
70 situated rs 10 make q city in the
near future, Of no little Importance
provided our citizens take held of all
enterprises that are offered to them.
We must have unity of action in this
matter in order to insure success in
this enterprise. This class OF people Red
Cloud has generally, as will be observ-
ed by the way theytake hold
OF all projects Of merit.
Durin. the last week DIR. 4. NJ.
Wassam. the general manager of the
G. n. n. & :. W Ry., was in the city
and to a committee Of our prominent
citizens unfolded the proposition for
building Of this important line Of rail-
way. As ear as we can ascertain the
company have succeeded i'll securing
the aid of a monied syndicate in the
east who have taken hold of the new
line with a determination OF building
it, provided the people along the pro-
posed route become interested in 1t
enough to vote the necessary local
bonds. This we have no doubt will oe
gladly coue by every township in
which the road will pass through from
Red Cloud to Dodge City. Kansas. As
far as Red Cloud and the other pre-
cincts in which the road passes
thr ough to the Kansas line in this
state we feel safe in saying will vote
the full extent of the bonds that are
asked by the company, viz. 100000
The people Of this city ut least, can not
afford to let the proposition fall
through for want Of support.
The management are under contract
to commence
BUILDING TIE ROAD BY APRIL !,
and will begin from this point in all
probability. as this is the most advan-
tageous point to commence the work
Of construction. The company are not
Overexacting, and do not ask the bonds
from us until such time as the line of
road j. built and in running order
complete from here to Dodge City.
This is proper and shows an honesty Of
purpose on their part, and protects the
people from giving something without
the assurance of having the road All
they ask is that the bonds be voted
and when the rood is finished to give
them the bonds according to contract.
This is sensible proposition and every
person in Red Cloud and along the
proposed line should see to i, that the
bonds are promptly voted. With the
C. ". K. 4 S. W. RY.
Red Cloud will be on the high road to
prosperity, and we feel confident that
before another twelve months pass
over our heads We will have two rail-
roads, if not three, with headquarters
i'll this city. The charter for tae c.
n. h. & S. ". Ry in Nebraska wa.duly
signed by our citizens and forwarded
TO L~ircoln. Ultimately it is INTENDED
to construct the road from Red Cloud
