NORTH PLATTE-A North Platte man,
who has Just driven down the valley OF The
North Platte river. states that the Burllng-
ton railroad still maintains a camp north
west OF Paxton, but that 1t is practically
deserted, only two men being stationed
there to do guard duty. On the other hand,
the Union Pacific is increasing its force
of graders and by the end Of next week,
II the weather Is favorable. the work will
be on in dead earnest. Tine fact is that
one cannot now go up the valley for 100
miles west without at all times being in
sight OF graders at work upon the North
Platte line. The Union Pacific railroad
going up this valley hitherto untouched and
unreached by railroads, for 100 miles and
more, means much for the country in the
vicinity of the road.
