We apologize in advance for the conditions which will be found on the second floor for the next week or two, but believe these and all other plans that we have in mind will more than compensate for the trouble we put you to.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-02-25

But now that we have made a beginning there will be no let-up until we feel that we have accom- plished what we have so long de- sired. The improvements entail many changes in the departments; a great deal of shifting of merchant disc, and in many cases complete encouragement of our floor plans.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-02-25

The work or changing the depart ments on the first floor will also begin very soon. And when they are completed we will be able to show our patrons larger and better departments for dress goods, books. mems furnishings, notions, boys clothinO.

But for the next few months we ask you to bear up patiently with the store. which will be torn up more or less, assuring you that any inconvenience you may suffer at the present time is to better insure your comfort in the future.

Young ladies:-In selecting your

New Rock Island Road Being
Planned From Lincoln.
VIII Connect With Main Line at
MankatO, Han.
SURVEYORS At WORK.
Efficiency of Nebraska Lines
viii Be Improved Greatly.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

1t is stated on good authority that
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway company will build a line
southwest from Lincoln, Neb., during
the next year. It is believed that the
new line will strike the main line to
the west of here in Kansas, probably
somewhere in the vicinity of Man
kato-
Surveyors are now out making a
preliminary survey and are working
south of Crete. Notwithstanding the
progress made it is claimed that they
have two months work ahead Of
them. If the line is to be built with
in the next year. it will be necessary
to let the contracts before cold
weather.
An engineer who has located rail-
roads claims that in surveying a new
line modern cOnstructionists allow an
excess of $50 per foot for every foot
of distance eliminated; that is, that
much must be added to the cost of
construction In addition to this sim
liar allowances for additional cost are
made for every degree of curvature
cut out and for every foot OF elevation
avoided.
If by building this new line the road
can avoid thirty miles of distance with
equal grades and curvatures to the old
100000 could be made for its con-
struction. It is not doubted that this
allowance would be greatly increased
by grades cut down and curves elimi-
mated, as the new method of construc-
ton differs materially from the one
followed in the days when the main
line of the Rock Island was built
through Nebraska.
It is an open secret among railroad
men that the Rock Island line through
Nebra ska does not show the efficiency
of the main line of the Burlington nor
the main line of the Union Pacific.
Of the great objects of inducing the
road to construct the new line. A
territory producing a vast volume of
traffic would be reached and a great
deal of new business would be secured.
