EXTEND FROM SHOSHONI?
BELIEVED NORTHWESTERN is
PREPARING TO BUILD WEST.
OFFICIALS VISITED LANDER

The Line From Casper to Shoshoni
Was Laid with Heavy steel and
That From Shoshonl to Lander with
Light Steel-lnferenoe.
A train of private cars occupied by
some of the high officials of the North.
western road went through Norfolk on
n hurry" schedule for the west Sat
urday evening. The destination of the
train was said to bc Lander, Wyo., the
terminus of the new road. The visit
being made by these men Mt this time
has given hope that something will be
decided about future extensions and
that contracts taking the end of steel
beyond Lander will soon be let.
A gentleman familiar with the situa-
tion on the line OF the Northwestern
west of Casper, says that heavy steel
ty miles west of Shoshoni, and that
from there to Lander lighter steel was
used. The inference is that the main
line will run west from the end of
heavy steel west of Shoshonl, and that
II will point in the direction of the
Yellowstone park. This might indi.
cate n route up the Big Wind river
reservation, and some railroad men be-
lieve it possible that the Yellowstone
park line of the Oregon Short Line
company may be tapped somewhere
near Anthony, but that the ultimate
object of the company is to build west
to the Pacific coast.
Much interest has been shown over
Northwestern movements. The cap,
tal stock of one hundred millions was
recently doubled and il now two hun
dred million dollars. 1t was announced
when this was done that the money Is
to he used for building, improving and
extending the system. Twenty million
dollars of this Is to be used on new
passenger station and terminals in
Chicago and the remainder is to be
spent in the west.

FUEL FAMINE ON ROSEBUD
TOWNS BOUGHT SMALL QUAINT
TIES, EXPECTING ROAD SOON.
BAD WEATHER CAME TOO SOON
Town of Burke is Rejoicing over Pros.
poets of New MiII-Gregory Also to
Have one-Jackson Brothers to Es.
tablish Another New Town.

Bonesteel, S. d, Nov. Especial to
The News; The report comes from
Gregory that the inhabitants Of that
thriving town are suffering from a
famine for fuel and oil. The popula-
ton there have been buying coal only
in small lots expecting that the road
would soon be through and that a
great saving would be made by this
means in the purchase of the same.
The bad weather coming on, it has
been almost impossible to freight coal
out of Bonesteel to that point. The
dealers in that town are doing every
thing they can to relieve the situation
there.
The town of Burke is rejoicing over
the fact that they are soon to have q
Touring mill, which will soon be erect
ed by the Fulton Milling company, of
which p. NJ. Fulton of the Burke State
bank is the head. 1t will have a ca
pacity of 125 barrels per day. We are
glad to note Burke's good fortune in
securing this enterprise and under Mr..
Fulton's management we are sure that
it will be a success.
The town of Gregory, it is rumored,
will soon have a mill under course of
construction. A party from Nebraska
will install the same.
1t has been currently rumored the
past couple of days that Gregory coun-
ty will soon have another town placed
upon the map, II is said that the new
town will be promoted by the Jackson
Brothers of Dallas and that it will be
located on the Trip county line west
of Gregory on the survey of the North
west. 1t is said the land has been pro
cured and that the surveyors are now
at work plating the same.

CONTRACT REASONABLE.
SpeciaI Architect Finds Board Made
Best Contract Possible.


Best Contract Possible.
That the state board Of public lands
and buildings made a reasonable CON
tract when it awarded the work of in
stalling elevators at the Hastings in
sane asylum to Earl WescOtt for $5,170
is the conclusion reached by George
A. Berlnghof, the architect employed
to investigate as to the cost of such
apparatus. The report of Mr.. Berling-
hof has not yet been filed with the
board but Is ready for the considera-
ton of that body. 1t will probably be
taken up at meeting on Thursday
Of next week, the regular monthly ses-
sion having been postponed from Mon
day, owing to the nearness of cleo
ton.
The architect bases his findings on
personal inspection of the elevator
system that is being put in at Has
tings, supplemented by figures re-
ceiyed from half dozen eastern firms
on how much the work would cost.
He sent letters to ten or twelve houses
asking for estimates, without telling
them that the contract had already
been let. Six answered by letter sub
hitting figures on the specifications
he enclosed to them, which were iden-
teal with those on which Wescott bid.
Their terms varied considerably, but
all were well up in price compared
with the present contract rate, Mr..
Berlinghof states.
81 was surprised when | found out
what some firms would have charged
for putting in the elevators" said the
architect None of the offers | got
were any better than the contract
Some of the firms wrote that they
could make cheaper price by sub
stituting other apparatus which would
not have been so good, but none of
fered to go lower on what was want
ed. | was informed by one or two
that the state would be getting a fine
mechanical equipment If the specifica.
tons were followed. | think, on the
whole, that the Wescott contract is
good one and the state has no rea-
son TO back out on it."
One of the houses to which Archi
tect Berlinghof addressed a letter OF
inquiry sent a man to look over the
Hastings institution and figure on the
cost, He was considerably disguised
to learn that the contract had already
been let and the work started.
The board of public lands and build
I
and allowed salary and expense vouch
ers for state employees and institutions
covering the month of October.
