AN OMAHA OPINION.
Work to Commence on the Cheyenne
N Northern Right Away.

This is what the Omaha Republican
says about the construction of the Chey-
enne & Northern:
The Union Pacific will, in all probable
ity, complete its Cheyenne & Northern
branch, which now extends to a canyon
on the North Platte, to a junction on the
Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley,
near the Wyoming and Nebraska line.
The contracting firm of Fitzpatrick Bros.
& Collins have an extensive outfit at Wen
dover, the northern terminus of the route,
awaiting orders, which will be issued in u
few days. Seven cars of scrapers and
tools are now loaded and in readiness at
Wendover, awaiting orders from Omaha.
A representative of the firm OF Fitzpatrick
Bros. said Yesterday that they we're daily
expecting orders to begin work, and that
inside of three days dirt would fly on the
new extension, and that within four
months it would be completed.
The foregoing is in direct line with this
papers exclusive predictions about the
completion of the Cheyenne & Northern
to the Northwestern. Work has COM
menced on the Carbon Cut-Of without
any great flourish of trumpets and it ID
probable that the same course will be
pursued with relation to the Cheyenne &
Northern. The presence of S~uperintend
ent Barr on the line is significant.
