SCOTS BLUFF HAS RAILROAD
New Extension Has
Reached Thriving Town In West
crn Nebraska Near GcrinG.

With exceptional %rapldity for railroad
building at this season of the year the work
Of extending the branch line of the Burling-
ton from Northport to Guernsey, Wyo., is
progressing. The line has been built as far
as SCOTS Bluff, and the station at this
place will be opened Friday, after which
time the regular operation of trains will
begin. SCOTS Bluff is about thirty-two
miles from Northport, on the north bank
of the Platte river, and the completion Of
the line to this point marks about half the
distance from Northport to the Nebraska
state line, aud about one-third the length
of the entire proposed line.
Scctt's Bluff is a town which has been
in existence for several years, and despite
it's previous lack of railroad facilities has
been a thriving business center, having a
splendid farming and cattle country tribu-
tary to it. 1t is across the river from
Gering, quite a prominent town.
As rapidly as the new branch is pushed
up the North Platte valley new stations
will be opened. There are two more in
Observation-Disclosures and Collins-to be pro-
vided with railroad advantages by the build
ing of this branch. Another STATEN. Pratt,
will be located on the Wyoming-Nebrask
state line.
