the Northwestern from Omaha to Cas-
per and Shoshoni are being consid-
cred by the Northwestern officials and
train service will shortly be inaugural
ed From an unofficial source the
date of the beginning of the new SER
vice is given as April |, although this

and Chicago. when this train is put

senger trains each way on the main
| line as far as Long Pine and two
west of there. The new train is to be
through train and will stop only at
the principal stations on the main
line and so make much better time
than any of the trains now operated
on the line.

The proposed dipping tank for the
farmers on the Santee reservation and
the surrounding country will be in
stalled early in the spring and work
in dipping all of the cattle and horses
will begin. State Veterinarian Nc
Kim has just returned from Monowi
and Niobrara and reports that ar.
rangements are being made to orga-
nize a stock company among the farm
ers for the installation and operating
of the tank. 1t will be put in either
on the Santee reservation or east of
Niobrara. This will give it a central
| location so that it will be of easy ac-
cess to all the stock in the itch-infect-
ed zone. The farmers are all anxious
to get to work dipping their stock so
as to stamp out the itch. The chief
difficulty in driving out the itch will
be with the Indians, who will have to
be forced to dip their stock in many
instances. The Indian agent has
promised cooperation with the state
authorities and before fall all the stock
on the agency and in the surrounding
country will have been dipped. Dur
ing Dr.. McKim's trip he investigated
one case of glanders and shot the
horse. This was near Monowi. 1t
was the only case found.
