The Persons who caused the article

DOUBLE TRACK
From Chicago to the Ills
souri, River.
The Chicago & th-Western Line
the First Road to Double Track Its
Line the Entire Distance.

A double track, block system line
of transcontinental railway now reach
es out to the westward as far as Oma-
ha. This will be in the way of dis
tinct revelation to the man who made
the trip across the plains twenty-five
years ago in prairie schooner, or on
the emigrant train of the seventies.
The rapid development of our great
agricultural states has been lost sight
of to certain degree in the discus
sion that has arisen lately concerning
the commercial invasion of China and
the East, our occupation of the Philip
pine Islands, the annexation of Ha-
wall, and the whole general move
ment by which we have suddenly be-
come world power. But while we
have periodically discussed these
questions, commerce has moved ahead
positively and relentlessly in the di-
rection of the Pr citic Coast, raising up
new towns, building up old ones, max
ing factories and farms where wild
prairie had been.
The result is shown, in part, in the
necessity on the part of the Chicago
& North Western for this double-track
line, where great trains of live stock
aud grain move in long lines eastward
to feed not only the eastern states,
but to afford an outlet for the pro-
ducts of what is now, more than ever
before, the granary of the world.
To the westward there is also con-
tinuous steam of travel The North
Western Line operates three daily pas
senger trains from Chicago to the Pa
cific Coast. One of these, known as
the Overland Limited, is robably the
most luxurious and beautiful train in
the world. Through Pullman service
to Omaha, Denver, Portland and San
Francisco leaves Chicago daily heavily
loaded with traffic to those points. AS
to freight movements, the great doub-
lie track system across the plains is
busy carrying manufactures for Ash
attic Russia, cotton cloths for the Chin
csc, various articles required by the
pioneers who have crossed the Pacific
to Manila and gone north to the gold
mines of Alaska; as we'll as the ire
mendous traffic for the Dakotas. Colo.
rado, Wyoming, Utah and the Pacific
Northwest, comprising the product Of
every known branch of the oQuntry's
commercial activity.

rIill at State Line Burnt Down.

The Mather Bros. saw mill at State
Line burnt to the ground late Satur-
day night.
The fire caught in the sawdust from
the freehold, while the Waterman was
cleaning up in another part of the
mill and when he discovered it he
tried to blow the whistle but found
the rope burnt off. The fire had got
such a start that it was impossible to
check it. Coming at this time of the
season, the fire will cause a heavy
loss, as the seasons cut is hardly half
done. The company will no doubt re-
build at once.
AS the fire had worked into the re-
fuse pile and looked dangerous for the
lumber yard, the company sent to
Wausau for an engine, which passed
through here Sunday morning on a
special.

A One Sided Game.
The Rhinelander Nine Not in the Same
Classic Slow Bali to Make the
Garaa Iu&oro cfinu
Game Interesting,

Sunday the Rhinelander base ball
nine came over and crossed bats with
our regular nine. The weather in the
afternoon was fine for a fast game,
alass the visiting club were too slow
at everything except pounding wind,
and the story told in a few words-an
easy victim. When the home team
made Z runs the first inning, while
the score card only showed them one
run, the ginger left the whole nine
and from then on the home nine near
ly went toisleep, Kelly who hand
led the ball for the home team simply
slaughtered the visitors, striking out
20 men. Why the Rhinelanderites
just feel over, either from wind or
freight from Kelly's curves. They
were all gentlemen, and we are sorry
that the score was not closer, but they
improve and cross bats again with the
regulars. The score will easily tell
the playing done by the home team,
all being in the game all the time.

distance of ten miles. the first train
over the line opened the traffic to Chi
cago by stopping on it's way East to
take on farmers load of wheat, tho
first grain shipment by rail to Chicago
from the West. 1t may be imagined
that this wheat was hardly destined
for export, and that the travellers on
this junket of early days little thought
to what proportions this nucleus of
great railway system would grow.
But the road grew and in 1870 the
line to Council Bluffs was completed,
and the Pawnees on the Platte and the
Sioux on the Missouri began TO feel
the crowding Of the white mans out
posts. In 1880 Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin had become we'll settled,
while along the Platte the Indians
still remained. The Northwestern
haze, however, but line across South
ern Minnesota and into Dakota as far
as Watertown, with feeders to various
points, while in Wisconsin and North
ern Michigan lines had been extended
north into the Lake Superior district
through Escanaba to 1snpeming.
This all seems very recent, but
since that time the system has grown
until it penetrates nine states of the
Union, and it's heavy lines of freight
trains and it's palatial passenger SER
vice reach all important points from
Chicago To Milwaukee, Madison, ST,
Paul and Minneapolis, Duluth and Su-
perior, Omaha, the Black Hills, Colo
RADIO and the Pacific Coast.
With all this development in vari-
Gus directions the North Western has
never for moment lost sight of the
great fact that the transcontinental
business of this nation is for many
years to come to be to furnished a
great volumn of traffic. The Chicago
Il Northwestern is the pioneer trans
continental line. Its little ten miles
forerunner of '48, reaching bravely
out to the great West, has always kept
just little ahead of the fast pace set
for progress by the young man, who,
taking Greeley's famous advice, has
gone west, until the weat and the far
east ore ready to join hands as one.
The North-Western has played an
important part in the growth of the
western country. Double-track trunk
lines, heavy locomotives and palace
like passenger trains have all come to
the west largely as a result of the
work of this Pioneer line. Elevated
tracks in Chicago, electric block sig
nails, daily overland trains, and the
steady reduction in time, for overland
passenger schedules have all been fur
thered to very great degree by the
Northwestern.
The completion of the double track
to Omaha, the first double track be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri river,
puts the road not only at the front as
compared with the other western
roads, but in advance of many of the
eastern lines that traverse Country
where the population is much more
dense. The double track to Omaha is
part of the general plan ON the part of
! the North Western, the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific to make the
| facilities for transportation between
Chicago and the Pacific Coast as ans
pile as possible, plan that will doubt
| less result in the continued improve
ment of transcontinental service.
