PACIFIC SHORT LINE.
Latest News About the Road to
Cross Wyoming.
Buying Cars, Building Bridges and
Laying Track.
Plenty of Money Now Behind the
Great Enterprise.

Last evening, says the Sioux City
Times OF the 2lst, seventy-fve fat and
box cars, bearing the name Pacific Short
Line" were pulled into Sioux City over
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. A
Times reporter asked General Agent Jor-
dan Of the company what the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul was doing with
the cars, The general agent smiled and
said:
Our company has leased 500 cars of
the Pacific Short Line"
OF course people cannot help think
ing OF all these things, nor prevent their
opinion being strengthened that the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has a full
hand in the Pacific Short Line. But of
course there is nothing it-for the officials
OF the road have said so.
The Ogden Commercial is also specu-
lating On the Pacific Short Line. The
Commercial is SURE that the road will net
stop at Ogden, but will be pushed to the
Pacific coast.
The Pacific Short Line company has
received four new and elegant coaches.
The materials for the new Pacific Short
Line bridge are now arriving daily.
S%ooysmith Il Co., who are putting In the
piers, have a force Of draughtsmen and
surveyors at work on the preliminary de-
tails, and are also having the fatboats
built which will be used to move the ma
chinery with which the material for the
abutments will be handled. The boats
will be anchored out in the stream. and
from them the work will be done. One
OF the c~aissons will be sunk in a short
time.
President Mclean of the Pacific Short
Line, gives the news hat Scullen & Co.
are preparing to move on the line west of
O'Neill within a very few days. The out
fit will be shipped from Chicago Monday
or Tuesday. During the past ten days
about 100 cars of material for the CON
struction of the line west OF O'Neill have
passed through the city. There are now
2l.OOO ties piled up at .O'Niell. and ar
additional shipment of seyenty-fve cars
of rails is expected this week.
Scullin 4 Co. of St. Louis, who have
the construction Of the Pacific Short Line
west of O'Neill to Ogden, are asking for
contractors to take sections of the work.
This would indicate that the firm expects
to begin the work of construction soon.
The Short Line bridge company has
its right-of-way franchise signed by
Mayor Palmer The company is buying
what property it needs along the line of
approach.
This road crosses Wyoming from east
to west, traversing the best part of the
state. When built 1t will do wonders in
the way Of material development. There
Is coal, oil, IRON, stone, mica, gold, silver,
timber and farming land along the sur
veyed route.

WANT A VIADUCT.
The Righteous Request of West End
Citizens.
That Section Overlooked in Dealing
Out viaducts.
Expressions at a meeting of Prop
erty Owners.

Property owners and citizens generally
OF that portion of town west of EDDY
street have finally awakened to the fact
that their section OF the city was very
carefully overlooked In the dealing out Of
viaducts BY the council and the Union
Pacific acting under the advice of the
former. With a high line crossing at
Central avenue and another east of it,
the west siders were thrown a bone in the
shape of a tunnel under the main line at
Snyder street, a couple Of blocks in from
the ~stockyards. The contract grants the
company the right to close all streets after
the Central avenue viaduct and the Sny-
der street dingbat are made. In antici-
patton the Union Pacific has been pretty
careless about crossings and has lately
knocked a team galley west, hurt a foot
man and interfered with professions.
When the big viaduet spans the tracks
at Central avenue an Eddy or West Six
teenth merchant who sells to a South
Side resident must send the goods to the
Central avenue crossing or tho Snyder
street tunnel. The same with brick made
near the lair grounds and a thousand aud
one other things. In short, the West
Side is getting dead the worst OF it.
The above facts and others in the same
connection were brought out at a meeting
of interested taxpayers held in Taylor
hall at the Empire block last evening.
Over twenty gentlemen we're in attend
anee.
Henry Harrington presided and Judge
j. X. Whitehead was secretary. The
situation was pretty thoroughly canYassed.
1t was the unanimous opinion the West
Side was being done out of its rights;
that it was clearly entitled to a viaduct.
Those interested pay as much in taxes as
the persons to be directly benefited by
the Central avenue crossing, and lack of
communication with the South Side will
be extremely harmful to them in many
ways.
The sense OF the meeting was that the
western viaduct should be placed at
Ihomes street.
A committee was appointed to look into
the matter and report next Monday. II.
ii. Ellis, J.. A. England, A. Underwood,
Chas. Thomas and E. 5. Cady are the
members. They will make inquiry, among
other things, as to the legal right of the
council to Unfortunately close streets.
The citizens owning property on Eddy
street and west of it are intensely earnest
in this matter and will spare no effort to
secure a viaduct for that part of town.

affords the star, one of our greatest lyric

TWO FIRES.
Stable In the Afternoon and Store
house in the Evening.

The old Black Hills barn, northwest
corner 0'Neil and Twentieth, was burned
to the ground yesterday afternoon. 1t is
thought children fred it accidentally, as
a party of them were playing there a
short time before the fire. This building
was owned by Carl A. Bemis, a Nebras-
kan, having lately been sold him by Mrs.
Caroline Dater. 1t was uninsured. The
loss is not in excess of $500. Dave
Smiths residence. adjoining the stable on
the west, had a narroS escape. This
barn housed for several years the horses
and coaches used on the Cheyenne &
Black Hills stage line.
At 7:30 in the evening the department
was called to II fire on the Cheyenne 4
Northern track, between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth. Ths structure burned was
a rude s~torehouse owned by s. Merrell &
Co. A portion of it had been a lime
shed and the larger part was rented some
time & by the G. @. G. for storage, but
contained nothing of any value. The
fire was started either by tramps or sparks
from a passing engine.
In the afternoon the water pressure
was very light, but in the evening it was
all right.

Burlington detectives have discovered a
scheme by which a gang of sneak thieves
has been preying on the company's prop
erty. All of the passenger coaches are
supplied with a box containing axes. a
hammer, saw and other tools to be used
in case of a wreck. In quite a large num-
Der OF cars, these tools have been keptin
the toilet room and have been frequently
stolen. A watch was put on and the dis
covery made that thieves we're making
regular trips between Omaha and Lin
coin and on branch lines. Their plan
was to enter the toilet room and throw
the box containing the tools out of the
window near a convenient station, where
the booty would be secured by an ally.
In this manner the company lost several
hundreds of dollars woriho of goods before
the work OF the thieves was discovered
No arrests have been made yet.
