Harrington Nonpariel: There were
railroad surveyors in the county the
latter part of last week working on two
sides of Hartington-near Burney's and
S%ulliyan's. We hope something will
come of If, and that we will have a road
from Omaha to Yankton.... Railroad
surveyors were encamped near town last
Sunday. 1t is said they have surveyed
from Plainyiew past Burney's and on
down the valley towards st. James-but
it is difficult to get much out of them.
It is probably a move on the part OF the
Union Pacific, to build a branch from
Norfolk, to head off the Omaha Yankton
road. We would welcome even the
Union Pacific, or Il road built by the
North western, but we would prefer the
Omaha Northern.
Ponca Journal, A: Yesterday we
heard that the railroad engineers were
running their line from st. James to
Ponca. They went from Harrington
down the Bow valley on Monday, and
on Monday evening camped about two
| miles from st. James. They stated
that on Tuesday they would be in 1T.
James and then would come down on
the old railroad grade to Ponca. They
will probably be in Pcnoa to-day OF TO.
morrow. This is t.I1ss :Sate from North
Platte to Sioux City, but it may not, as
We are reliably informed, go down on
this side OF the river and CROSS OF
C%oyington. It may, on the contrary,
after it gets to Ponca, turn tc the north
and strike the river On MIR. Massey's
land, running down Lime Kiln rayine.
In September a party Of surveyors from
the other side of the river, and supposed
/, to be in the employ of the Milwaukee
company, came across in a boat and
surveyed up that ravine to the head o.
it. There the bridge will be- and from
> there the road will run to intersect the
Milwaukee road on the Dakota side
Thus Sioux City will be reached, ant
. thus can Chicago be reached. TIL,
Union Pacific company is in this matter
and hence it is g certainty that it will b,
pushed through at once. A few week
ago o party OF men in the employ Of tn
Union Pacific examined the river from
Niobrara to Decatur, for the purpose o
finding out the best place for d crossing
1t was ascertained that the crossing on
posite Lime Kiln ravine was the best ii
all the distance. Situated too, but
few miles from Elk Point, from whenc
! the Milwaukee, road DIVORCES in thre
, different directions, there was no ques
: ton as to this being the place for th
Il bridge.
