Would Touch Fremont, Norfolk and
o'Neill and Then Turn North Into
South Dakota to a Union With the
chamberlain.Rapid City Line.
The following story was printed in
the Omaha WorldHerald within the
past few days. The possibilities for
Norfolk that are contained in the story
mean great deal for the future Of
the city, and 1t is only hoped that the
World-Herald may not be mistaken.
Here is what the paper says
In order to connect with its Pacific
coast extension, the Milwaukee road
will, 1t is said on the authority Of a
prominent Milwaukee official, build an
extension of it's line from Omaha to
some point on the Chamberlain.R Rapid
City extension in South Dakota, and
thus Omaha will get new outlet to
the west
This information comes from man
who has been associated with the Mil
waukee for years, and who is in on
the "inner councils" of the road. The
line will not be begun, he says, before
spring at the earliest, but when ii is
begun, will be taken up and pushed to
completion with all possible speed.
The new line will in all probability
run from Omaha to Fremont, thence
to Norfolk, thence to O'Neill, then in a
northwesterly direction, through north
ern Nebraska into southern South Da
kota, striking the proposed Chamber
lain extension of the Milwaukee lit
tie west of midway between Chamber
lain and Rapid City. This Is given as
the probable route, and yet is only
conjecture 1t is known that a party
of Milwaukee surveyors have been a
work between Omaha and Fremont
also from Fremont to Norfolk, and or
to the northwest. This work has beel
done quietly, and no one has knowr
until recently that the surveying outti
in that section of the country was the
Milwaukees.
The new line, it is argued, would b'
of tremendous benefit to Omaha |
would afford a new outlet for Omaha
and the lines radiating from the cas-
into Omaha to the northwest. 1t woult
also bring the northwestern part o
the United States into closer commun
ication with Omaha. The Pacific coas
extension of the road will bring al
immense volume of business eastward
part of it to go through st. Paul, an
a great part of it through Omaha
the new line is constructed.
A part of the territory that woul
be traversed would be entirely new
and it's development would open up
new field for Omaha.
