EXTENDING THE RAILROAD YARDS
Burlington Needs Increased Facilities
mt Ashland.

ASHLAND, Neb., Jan. 29.-(Special. Eek
tensive changes, it is understood. are early
contemplated in the Burlington yards at
this point to meet the increased business
resulting from the Great Northern connec-
ton. The yards are now so congested
most of the time that through trains are
handled only with the greatest difficulty.
This is especially true when ice from the
Armour and Swift plants at this place is be-
ing shipped. The reception of local freight
from the towns between Ashland and FREE
mont, which is now brought in by the work
train that makes daily runs over the south
ern portion of the Great Northern extern
sion has added materially to the Burlng-
toms business, and with the opening of the
through line this will be greatly augmented
The establishment of a new and large stone
crushing plant on the old main line east OF
Ashland. which is now being erected. is also
expected TO taterially increase the volume
of business in the city yards. 1t is under
stood that the new plans of the yards con.
template extensive sidings reaching from
the present station eastward almost to the
Platte river. a roundhouse and new freight
and joint passenger stations, the latter Il
be a handsome structure of stone ant
pressed brick.
1t is also reported that the advent Of thi
! Great Northern will bring into Ashland
new lumber company and a new elevator
controlled by interests now operating alon,
the Great Northern lines i'm Minnesota ant
the Dakotas.

A bulletin received here late Mon
day evening from Marietta stated
that the score of the game between
Marietta and Clarksburg was three
to nothing, in favor of Marietta.
Some. one remarked Marietta must
be very poor ball players. The fell
low was led to say this because of
the miserable showing made by
Clarksburg here Sunday.
In this connection it is said a
meeting is to be held Friday night
for the purpose of firing the whole
bunch except Moran, Zinn and.
Wagner and putting in their places
MeLain Brothers, Keener, Wicken-
hofer and Orr.

BEING BUILT

Some telling work is being done
along the. proposed lines Of the Fair
mont ( Clarksburg Traction Com
pany between this city and Fair
mont For scyera months the
building of the foundations for the
culyerts and bridges have been tax
ng the time of the contractors, but
most of this work is now done and
the placing of the steel is showing.
Two immense structures are be-
ing built across the West Fork river
one just above Shinnston and the
other at Maulsby, within few
hundred feet of the old wooden
bridge at that place. The bridge
builders have half way completed the
bridge at Shinnston. while last
week saw the same work begin on
the one at Maulsby. 1t will take
several weeks to complete these
bridges as the work on them is es-
pecially great. Both bridges arc
across the West Fork river and the
B. & o. railroad tracks and are very
high.
To the passerby the road is prac-
tically completed between Middleton
and Shinnston and looks ready for
operation. The stone crusher just
below Shinnston is ready for work
and the work of ballasting the
tracks Snl be commenced at once.
The traction company officials will
give out no date for the operation of
cars further than Middleton, though
it is expected that Shinnston viii
soon be connected with Fairmont.

Clarksburg itself is to become an
actual Oil City, second to that only

that within the next twelve months
the Pittsburg Of West Virginia, TO
say nothing of oil City, will be
adorned with oil derrieks-we say

full thing one can lay eyes on, and
