SPENDING MILLIONS
improvements Being Made by the
Chicago Great Western.
TWO GREAT FEEDERS IN PROSPECT
One to Omaha and One to Kansas
{ City-To Be Ready in
Two Years.

President A. B. stickney is authority
for the statement that. the two new lines
which the Great Western is building, one
to Omaha and the other to Sioux City,
will be con'1leted within two years. A
portion of the survey for tine Sioux City
line has not been decided on. Portions Of
all Of the existing surveys may have to
be abandoned.
An official of the company was asked to
make a prediction of the probable earn
ings of these two proposed feeders. He
said:
Careful estimates are based upon the earn
ings Of the Southwestern line from Oelwen
to Kansas City am satisfied that as soon
as we get this business fairly started-say in
five years--it will add nearly 100000 in net
earnings to the Great Western railway.
The directors and officials of the Great
Western are preparing to spend large
sums. of money for the betterment of the
physical condition of the whole system,
the laying of many miles of double track,
the purchase of new equipment and the
requirement of new lines. To accomplish
this in the coming fiscal year. the road
will issue new per cent debenture stock
to the value of s3,4370o0. Some of the
money will be used to pay for improve
ments already completed and to be COM
pleted this year. This sum aggregates
IS. 073,000 The sum of $2,410000 will have
been spent by the end of the year for the
revision of grades, for permanent steel
bridges, for additional side tracks, bal
lasting, 40 new locomotives. 14O cars of
various types and $663,000 is to be spent
for shortening the line and constructing
the double track between st. Paul and
Randolph. This will enable the company
to make great economies in operating ex-
penses.
Another portion Of the money will be
used to transfer certain branch lines
from the parent company the Great
Western, to the Mason City and Fort
Dodge, accepting in payment therefor
ST, 1856 900 of the per cent first mort
gage bonds of the latter company at par.
The transaction is really a transfer OF
the branch lines from one of the con-
stituent companies to the other. The
ownership remains with the Great West
ern. The branch limos so transferred
will be the line extending from Hayfield,
this state, in southerly direction to
Manley Junction. Iowa, a distance OF
about fifty miles; the line from Waverly
Iowa, in westerly direction to Hampton
| Iowa, distance of forty-two miles
These lines will ultimately be a part Of
| the main lines under construction to
Omaha and Sioux City.
In addition to- the expenditures men
toned, it is proposed to rush to compile,
| ton in 1903 the improvements of the road
way from Oelwein to Chicago. Forty
miles of new second track will be bull
! at a, cost of $1,000, 900. This sum will b.
provided by the proceeds Of the Masol
City and Fort Dodge bonds, which viii
be received for the two pieces OF the linz
to be sold that company

500 ROADS ACTIVITY
Building Road and Surveying Line
Near. Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, S. D., April 21.-Recent de-
velopments in the plans of the 500 rail-
road for entering Aberdeen indicate that
the road intends to have two lines lnto
this center. The. company now mas the
grade practically completed and ready for
iron between. Aberdeen. and Ashley on the
line to Bismarck, and within the past
few days surveyors for the company have
shown up in the country northeast OF
here, working towards Aberdeen. The
Soo's engineers are now in the vicinity OF
Veblen, near where the line OF Roberts
and Marshall counties reaches the state
line. Their orders are to run the line
through Veblin, thence to Britton and
from there to Aberdeen. They started IN
a short distance from Hankinson, where
the 500 and Great Northern roads almost
touch each other, and where they par
allel each other for; some distance. 1t is
stated that the line will be completed
from Hankinson to Britton this year, and
that as much more road will be built
toward Aberdeen as possible, and that the
part not finished the present season will
be rushed through next season as soon
as the work can be done. 1t is claimed
that this will give the 500 line from
Aberdeen to Minneapolis 301 miles long,
while the Milwaukee has 298 and the
Great Northern 80. The country through
which the line will run is some of the
best in the states of North and South
Dakota.
It is believed that the company will
iron the remainder of the line between
here and Bismarck as soon as possible
