A STEP FORWARD,
The Union Pacific After the Entire
Southern system,

Omaha. Neb.. Feb. 17.-President Burt
of the Union Pacific has issued an official
notice that the Overland has become the
owner of what is known as the Juesburg
branch. and which heretofore has been a
part of the Colorado Southern. or Union
Pacific. Denver & Gulf road The trans
fer of the property will take place at mid
night on Saturday and all persons en-
ployed on that branch for the present are
to continue to act for the new company.
The Union Pacific will operate the branch
on its own account, bit viii respect the
terms and contracts made by the old own
crs.
The purchase of this branch. taken with
the trackage agreement just made with
the Colorado Southern. whereby the latter
road is accorded the use of the Union Pa
cific tracks between Denver and Chey-
enne, is taken to indicate but a step for
ward in regaining control of the entire
Southern system. 1t was originally a part
of the Union Pacific line, but was segre-
gated under the receivership regime and
placed under a separate management, as
was done with the Oregon Short Line
The latter road is now in process of being
absorbed by the Union Pacific and it is re-
ported that when this deal is out of the
way negotiations for the accession of the
Southern will be commenced.
The line is a valuable feeder of the
Union Pacific. but under it's present man
agement is no more favorable to that road
than to other Colorado lines. When the
Union Pacific secures it this road will
have a big advantage in the Colorado and
Southern Wyoming business.

LOVER OF FINE STOCK.

LOVER OF FINE STOCK. Among the fine and substantial home steads, which give Watertown front rank as one of the first farming towns of Litchfield country, is that of Alfred H. Scovill, whose place is known ss "Fair- view" It is located on a hill, 8 mile north of Watertown village, and accord ing to the mind of your scribe ia one of the most charming places in town. The SCovill place, by the way, has been in rhis family for five generations. MT ScoVilps great-grandfather, John FOote, was the first to live on this farm, who lived in an old red house, now torn down. The present dwelling, in which Mir Scovill resides, was built about 65 years ago by his father, Hubert Scovill. The view from this hill top is extensive and oeautiful. Either by day light or darkness, fine views are obtainable. At night time the lights of the village below and of Water bury in the distance, stand out prettily, while on the hill tops around single lights stand out as so many bea- ] GOuss MI .OSONh4 ID h LulAA Aa1 uC19 AlS dairy comprising Devon stock. The milk is wholesaled at his door. MT Scovill is a,great admirer of Devon stock, and owns what is regarded by good judges as one of the finest yoke of oxen in Litchfeld county. ''They are as good workers as they are handsOme," said MT ScovilI stO 8 representative of THE BEE, the other day, and the scribe was free to admit they were as handsome 8 pair as one often comes across. THE BEES picture of these cattle is hand some one, and is from photograph ta ken by relative of Mir ScOvill. Int weight these cattle is about 3350. Ml ScOvilps faithful work as secretary 0. the Watertown Agricultural society hal made him widely known throughout thu state. With William c. French ana others he labored for years to promot' the interests of the Watertown fair which was very successful for lOnt time. Personally, Mr.Scovill is one O the most genial of men, a sound and sub stantial citizen of the best type. M Scovill, by the way, was an interested spectator at the Newtown fair, las September. He believes in fairs and il glad to see the Newtown Ass ociatior prospering.
