SIOUX CITY, To-, Dec. 26-Events are
rapidly bringing tangible results for the
efforts Of Northwestern Iowa and South
eastern South Dakota In trying to induce
the Chicago 81 Western railway to
extend its branch line, built years ago
to Neville, but twenty miles from Sioux
City, to Sioux City and beyond to Cen
terville, S. D. Before the construction of
the extension, positively assured by
President Marvin Hughitt, Of the Chi
cago & Northwestern, which will open
up vast amount of Iowa and South Da-
kota territory to a direct connection with
Chicago. will be begun the sale of the
bond-aided road, the Sioux City & Pa
Cific, one Of the first roads to be built in
the West, which must be ordered by con-
gress.
The bill to this effect is making good
progress in the committee on Pacific rail-
ways, and will come up soon after the
converting Of congress. But already

Roswell Miller to Locate In New
York When Bond Retires,

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 26.-Roswell Miller,
chairman of the board of directors of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
company, said yesterday that he would
make New York his headquarters when
ever Frank S. Bond retired. It is Mr.
Miliers Intention to- .c@sune. the duties
Of Mr.. Bonds position In addition to
those he now holds as chairman of the
board of directors, and from New York
city as headquarters direct the finances of
the company. 1t was said yesterday that
Mr.. Bond would probably retire some
time in January. No changes in official
positions in consequence Of Mr. Bonds
retirement are at the present time con-
templated. a. C. Bird, the general traf-
f!c manager, and J. H. Hiland, the gen
eral freight agent, will remain where
they are.
In regard to rumors of changes of high
officials of the st. Paul road, President
Earring said There is no foundation
for such reports. The only important ap-
pointlnent which will become effective
Jan. is that of 8. P. Bush as superin-
tendent Of motive power. He has held
that position for many years on the Pan
handle road, and takes the place made
vacant on our road a few months ago
by J. n. Barr, who went to the Baltimore
& Ohio road. 1t is not true that. Vice
President Bond has rendered his resig-
nation, However, he has, stated that he
may do so before long, The fact Is that
no changes of officials are contemplated
of this time. What may happen IN the
future cannot be foretold." ~

New Calendar Being Sent Out by the
Omaha Passenger Department.
The Omaha passenger department be-
gan the distribution yesterday of it's new
calendars for 1850. Nothing Just like
them was ever before devised, and Mr..
Teasdale. general passenger agent of the
road, who originated the idea of their
form, has applied for copyright.
The merit of the Omaha calendar lies
in its general usefulness. 1t is ten inch
es wide and fourteen inches long. Each
page contains the days of the week. Sun
day being omitted in figures just two
inches long and an inch and third
wide. They can be seen plainly across
any ordinary room That Is the one
central idea of the misunderstanding the
dates large enough so that the day Of
/ the week can be seen at a glance.
The calendar was tastefully printed by
local concern. 1t contains sixty-one
pages. The tinting is In black on heavy
yellow paper, making an excellent effect
Each page contains complete week
of working days, with the exception OF
the beginning and ending OF some
months where the dates DO not break
even. In addition to the large figures
each one Is accompanied by the day OF
the week and beginning with the first of
the year the days are given In small fig
utes III sequence LOT lne Wtlole year. Inc
pages also contain a monthly calendar
on each. AS week Is finished a page IS
| easily torn off. The calendar will hang
| from the wall by neat silk cord.
In some Of the blank spaces on the
calendar neat and attractive advertising
Is run, furnishing interesting informa-
ton about the roads service and equip
ment Of trains.
For the business and professional man
It would be difficult to devise a more
handy calendar.

Our firm has not yet received a copy

by us in st. Paul, from Chicago and
south, and from eastern points. We have
been able to gain considerable informa-

the press statements of the advances
made. Many Of the articles which we
buy outside will cost us % per cent ad-
