COULD AND HARTMAN FIGHT
Fcr.sr Seeks TO Extend Missouri Pacific
Into Union Pacific Territory.
Parallel LINES TO Be PROJECTED
Control of Rich Lands I'm Logan and
MePherson Counties TO- Bone
of Contention Between
the Magnstes.

A possibility of the present railroad
building campaign in Nebraska is a fight
between the Union Pacific and the. Mis-
souri, Pacific for control OF the rich terri
tory of Logan and Mcpherson counties
heretofore untouched by railroad. Among
the first Of the series of branch lines al
ready announced TO be built by the Union
Pacific is the extension of the old Kearney
q Black Hills road from Galloway up the
Loup river valley through Arnold and
Candy west to Tryon in Mcpherson county.
This road crosses the full length of the fn-
nous Garfield tsbleland, said to be one OF
the most fertile tracts of tableland in the
state. Candy, the county seat of Logan, Is
now fully twenty-five miles from North
Platte, the nearest railroad point, but nos-
withdrawing this drawback the Garfield
tableiand, In the center OF which Candy y
located. already has attracted a sturdy
class of settlers, whose success is shown
by the substantial character OF their houses
and barns ........
Although no official announcement has
yet been made OF the Missouri Pacifc's
plans, II is we'll understood the branch
which now terminates at Prosser is to be
carried forward at no distant date to the
Black Hills. The short extension from
Prosser across the Platte river to Shelton,
on the main line of the Union Pacific, is
but the evidence of the intention of the
Goulds to reach into the sand hills. AS at
present projected this line from Shelton
toward Alliance will parallel the Union Pa
cific for a distance of about 15O miles, and
there can hardly fail to be fight over the
! choice of right-of-way up the valley OF the
Loup and into two or three of the more
| important towns along the route.
The branch of the Union Pacific which is
TO go into this new country is the one on
which the first gasoline motor car has for
four months been proving it's success as a
business getter for the road

HanscOm Property on Douglas for
Headquarters, Maybe.
From reliable sources II is learned that
the Union Pacific Railroad company is
figuring for piece of property at Eigh-
teenth and Douglas streets, known as the
Hanscom property, upon which, IL the
purchase Is made. the company will locate
It's new headquarters building. For some
time rumors have been current that the
headquarters would be located in the
neighborhood OF Seventeenth or Eighteenth
and Douglas. but during the same time
the company has been figuring on a num-
Der OF other pieces of property. At this
particular time the railroad officials will
make no statement of their intentions.
Plans for the contemplated structure
have progressed so Tar, however, that a
relief map has been made Of the general
offices and by one who has seen the map
the structure is said to We a most i'm
posing one and will be credit to the city.
As the negotiations for the purchase OF
a site have been in progress for SO long,
and as the plans of the building have
been drawn, IL is presumed actual work
on the structure will not be delayed much
longer.
General Manager Mohler of the Union
Pacific has returned from Portland Ore,
and other points in the west, where he
has been for the last three weeks Mr..
Mohler said there was no railroad business
connected with his trip; that he had sim
ply been TO Portland to secure a little
needed rest and to look after some per-
sonal matters. He said he had nothing to
give out In regard TO the headquarters site
on which the new headquarters building is
to be located.

Dancing Contest at Krus's.

Frank Allen, a young white man Of
Omaha, came very near winning the dan
cling contest at the Krug theater last night
against the best buck and wing dancer
among the pickaninnies attached to the
"Old Kentucky" show. AS It was, the purse
of $50 offered for the best dancer by the
management was divided between Allen and
William Pennell. who is admitted the cham
pion of the troupe. The first trial between
this pair was so close that the judges
asked them to dance over, and after seeing
the second exhibition they were still UNI
able to determine which was the better, and
SO divided the purse. Twelve contestants
entered, and the exhibition was one Of the
best ever given at the theater and was
greatly enjoyed by the large audience pres
ent.

Omaha elevator interests are keenly feel
ing the car famine, the business of some
firms being so affected that they declare
they will not be ablc to meet all their con-

grain men say It is now the most stringent

increased gravity of the situation along
this road and along other lines as well, and
for eastern shipment.
The Nebraska Iowa Grain company's ele-
yators, situated along the Burlington. are

closed for two or three days at time, and
then opened again for two or three days

The majority Of the grain dealers do not
report a large movement of corn. Corn

farmers are waiting for cold weather before

has arrived in Buffalo in a heated condi-
ton, and Chicago buyers complain OF the
