WILL BE BUILT.
Little Doubt That Northwestern Plans
Are Being Matured.

The construction of the Topeka &
Northwestern railroad, which will
form the Union Pacific connection be-
tween Topeka and Marysville, it is be-
lieved will begin shortly. Reports have
been current that the road was not to
be built, but all evidence indicates
| that it will.
A change in the route which re-
quires new maps, profles and esti-
mates was made just before work was
about to be commenced several weeks
ago, and new estimates had to be made
to conform to the change of plans.
L. G. Beal,- of Topeka, drove over
the route of the proposed line recent
ly with the Lantrys, of Strong City who
have made a bid on the work. j.
Huson, of Portland, Ore, also went
over the route and made an estimate,
and submitted a bid to the chief en-
gineer at Omaha last week. Kilpat-
rick Bros. & Collins, of Beatrice, VINO
were the successful bidders on the first
plans, also have in a bid for the work
as it is proposed under the new plans.
1t is expected that the contract will be
awarded at Omaha this week.
1t is explained that the work will
be more expensive, inasmuch as most
of it will have to be done during the
winter and spring months, whereas II
it had been possible for the contractor
to have gone to work at once when
the former bid was accepted, the work
could have been completed before the
winter has progressed very far.
But the change in plans, which
called for a change in the route, ne
cessitated new bids for the work,
which would take into consideration
the extra expense of accomplishing it
under changed circumstances.
F. c. Ayers, the right of way man,
is now in Jackson county, where he is
working at closing up the transactions
for the titles to the land. which will
form the right of way for the rail-
road.
Less than two weeks ago about So
900 was deposited in Jackson county
to cover the condemnation cost of
right of way in that county.
The Orange Republican of last Sat
urday says:
This morning Right of Way Agent
Aver, for the Union Pacific, and c. E.
Morris, Chas. O'Meara and John Herr,
right of way commissioners for Potta-
watomie county, appointed by the
court, met at the depot. The first two
named were selected as chairman and
secretary. Mr.. Aver asked the board
to adjourn until Nov. % in order to
give him time to meet the different
land owners. He will do this within
ten days or two weeks. He is waiting
now for the final maps to be finished
determined. The board will therefore
meet here again on the date mention
ed.
Several parties of contractors have
been over the line this week to post
tn emselves on the actual conditions so
they can bid on various parts of the
grade"
