AS TO STREET RAILWAY SALE
Decision Expected When President
and Secretary Return to
City.

The president and secretary Of the Omaha
Street Railway company are expected to
return from New York Tuesday or Wednes-
day, at which time it is believed hat the
final decision as to the proposed sale of the
road will be made.
Until they return It Is not known what
disposition will be made Of the matter, as
there are JUNIORS to the effect that the
eastern parties will ask for further time
and there is a disposition on the part of
local stockholders to deny the request.
How much fact there is in the rumor can
not be told until the return Of Mr.. Murphy
or Mr.. Morse, as the sale is now entirely
within their hands on the present basis and
any change in that basis would have to be
acted upon by a majority Of the stockhold-
ers to be effective.

MILWAUKEE ROAD EXTENSION
1t Will Reach Into Boyd County to Compete
with Northwestern.
NEW vERDIeRls LINE BRINGS TROUBLE
OmciaIs of Milwaukee road Consoles
that Northwestern Has Violated
an Agreement by Going
Into Boyd County.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul is
taking steps to build into Boyd county,
Nebraska, recently penetrated by the Verdi
girls extension of the Fremont, Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley, and thereon hangs a
tale"
For some years the Northwestern and
Milwaukee arrangements have observed an
agreement not to disturb each others bust
ness in this and certain other sections by
building competing lines. The Milwaukee
claimed the territory through which the
Northwestern system has projected its new
Blkhorn branch as It's own and considered
the agreement violated by the northwestern
when the new line was decided on and con-
structed. The action Of the Milwaukee now
In extending a spur from its main line into
Boyd county is, therefore, retallatory and
taken purely in self-defense, or as a means
Of preserving its interests there against the
effective bid for patronage which it's rival is
bound to make.
This friction between these two roads
disturbs amicable relations which have been
regarded as profitable to both companies
and precipitates what railroad men are dis
posed to predict a sharp and bitter rivalry
In this new territory. Great possibilities
for railroad development are contained in
the projects OF both roads, for the country
over which they are at issue is compare
lively new so far as railroads are concerned
and is believed to be on the verge of ex-
pansion. 1t has eminent resources and is
attracting a great deal of attention. An
extensive area of tributary territory lies
back Of 1t which is sure to come to the
front in time, and a very short time, too,
doubtless, so that 1t offers splendid oppor-
tunities to the railroads, too good appar-
emily to be overlooked merely because Of a
little thing like a mutual agreement" be-
tween two great competitive companies.
The Milwaukee has gone so far in it's
plans as to send a corps of engineers into
tho territory and surveys are being made as
rapidly as possible to determine the best
and most feasible routes. 1t is understood
that the Milwaukee will run its extension
out from Running Water, bringing it across
the Missouri river at that point and carry
1t to the western border Of Boyd county,
forming the nearest parallel possible with
the Elkhorn.

EnIarsing Motive Facilities.

Several Of the roads converging in Omaha
are busily engaged in enlarging their mo-
tive power capacities by the purchase of
new engines. This is due principally to in
crease In business, and in some cases to the
construction Of new lines. The Elkhorn has
ordered ten t~en-wheel locomotives, which
additional business and the building of the
Verdigris branch make necessary; the Chi
cago, st. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha has
placed an order for five passenger and hf-
teen freight engines; the Northwestern for
six switch engines, fourteen ten-wheelers,
and ten passenger locomotives from one
company and forty-five from another firm,
this being the largest Of any of these or
ders; the Frisco is having built twenty-five
ten-wheelers, ten with $50, 900 pounds on the
drive wheels, about the same number with

Holly Sized up by a Visitor.

. Under the heading "a Scoot
Down the Valley" Editor Linn of
the Arkansas Valley Review, gives
Holly the following writeup:
"People sometimes tell lie un-
til they think it is the truth. Some
people kept talking about drouth
in the valley until they thought it
actually existed.
1.-THE editor of the Review made
a flying trip as far down the valley
as Holly this week, and it looks
pretty good TO us.
"Of course you see the fellow on
the train that is berating the coun-
try; he's been here two weeks, and
such country he never did see,
and he is getting back east to his
wife's folks just about as fast as
the Santa Be can carry him, and
that's at a pretty lively gait too.
Then there is the man on his way
from California that wants to
pass through in the night so he
wont see the Great American
Desert.
"Holly is right smart town.,
inhabited by good, entcrprising
lot Of people who are going to win
out. All kinds of business are
we'll represented there, the crops
look well and the town is growing,
although now is the dull time of

good substantial buildings put up
there, demonstrating the builders

the building, built, owned and oc-
cupied by Ikelmsn Bros, drug
