Great Engineering Feat.

i The contemplated cutoff is over the
Sheyenne' valley and is one Of the
greatest engineering feats ever at
tempted east Of the Rocky mountains.
It will be eight miles in length and
will extend eight miles from Alta, east
Of Valley City, to Berea, west Of the
city.
At present two "pushers' are en-
valley. The grades, both east and west,
out of the city are steep. In fact, they
are said to be among the worst gradi-
ents in the United States This eight
miles Of track will run north of the
city, limits and will do away with these
grades. $50 -
The entire eight miles will either be
cuts, grades or trestles. There will be
cuts of sixty feet in depth, while the
trestle will be carried 1876 feet above
the level of the Sheyenne river. The
trestle will average 40 feet in height
and will be nearly 1000 feet long. The
engineers expect that it will take two
years to complete the work, and that it
will cost from 81 100000 to So 1000, ooo
It will be used for heavy freights, but
the passenger service will run over the
old track thru the city.

general and then lieutenant general.
Three times he was seriously wounded,
sixteen horses were shot from under

his staff, eight Of his surrounding Off

His tastes he introduced into his war

Men Look for Little Higher Prices
Than at Present - Quotations
From Clay, Robinson 6 Co.
Special to The Republican.

South Omaha, Neb., Jan. 25.-The fol-
lowing letter has just been issued by
Clay, Robinson & Co.:
There have been a few cars of west
ern hay-fed cattle coming along during
the past week, although supplies as yet
are of rather modest character. There
is very good inquiry at the present
time, both from packers and feeder
buyers, and everything of this sort is
taken care of quite readily. Monday
there were several cars from Wyoming
and Colorado, and for the most part
prices We're strong to 10 and 15c higher
than a week ago. Some good, heavy
steers weighing HOO to 1900 pounds
sold to the packers up around $3.50
to 1850 pounds sold all the way from
S4.10 to $4.25, the former for dressed
beef purposes, n the latter for feed
ing purposes. The inquiry has been
very strong the past month for all this
class, and values no doubt will gradu.
ally work even a little higher than at
present. Packers are coming to know
NhdI INC WeSlcIn ndyleu SJeeIS are
and they come in competition between
the fair quality and flesh corn-fed
steers and the better heavier classes
for feeding purposes. All these differ
ent outlets have a tendency to strength.
en- the trade, and considering the good
condition the hay-fed cattle are report
ed to have reached this season, there
is little doubt but what the trade gen
orally will be quite satisfactory to the
western feeder this year. At any rate
prospects at this time seem quite ia.
vorable and we are very much inclined
to e these conditions prevail during
the late winter and early spring
months. There is also very good in
quiry for butcher stock, and the goot
cows and heifers are selling at $3.1S
and 1895; fair to good s2.S5 and $3.15i
~canners n cutters, $500 to s2.65.
