FROM Inursunyb Dhily'J
The boldest stroke in the history OF
Nebraska railroading has just been de-
termined upon by the Gould interests,
az represented In the Missouri Pacific
system, and one which may very ma.
terially affect Norfolk and TIE surround
ing country. The move is to build
three trunk lines in as many directions,
and one Of them is to run from the
wheat fields Of Dakota and northern
Nebraska into the southern part Of the
state.
From the direction laid out IL would
seem impossible for this line extending
north and south to pass through the
wheat section without taking Norfolk
In on the route The section west of
this city Is not a wheat country and
Norfolk, 1t would seem, must be the
western limit
1t Is planned to run the lines into a
new town called Plato, in the south
eastern corner of the state. One will
20 noi Invest through Grand Island to
the Black Hills and the third will go
straight west to Denver through the
larger towns In the southern part of the
state.
The name OF the line running through
this section will be the Kansas City,
Beatrice Ss Northwestern, The objec-
tive points Of the systems are the gold
of the Black Hills and the grain of north
Nebraska and Dakota.
1t would seem that the business men
Of Norfolk might we'll afford to imme.
diately investigate the prospects for the
line and to make an attempt, il the
course leaves out Norfolk, to yet swing
the new road through the metropolis of
north Nebraska, the gateway to the
wheat fields of Dakota and the thriving
center of commerce in the Elkhorn
valley.
Contracts, it 10 said, are to be let i'm
mediately.
