New Road to Cross Kansas.

A gang of civil engineers has been

ing the preliminary survey for a
north and south railroad. The road
is called the Yankton and Southern
and is to extend from Yankton, S. D..
to the Gulf. 1t is said to be a Hill
road. the great railroad magnate seek
ing in this way a direct outlet over
his own line to the Atlantic coast for
the export business. The road was
chartered more than a month ago.
AS at present planned, the Yankton

ka and enters Kansas at point a few
miles south of Superior, Neb., 1t pass

1t follows the Sixth principal merid-

Western Paeifie's Grades.

The most striking thing about the
Western Pacific, the new Gould ROAD
IN Pacific tidewater. is that 1t Is to be
built with much more favorable
grades than its pioneer competitor
the Central Pacific line OF the South
ern Pacific, says the Railroad Ga
yette. The company has had the al
vantage of the experience OF the 9th
er transcontinental lines. and 1t s
believed that the route chosen Will
never need to be altered by cutotfs
or reductions In grades and curva-
ture. In order to obtain favorable
grades it has been necessary to sac
rifice directness.
The Western Pacific Is TO be $50
miles long between Oakland and SAT-
Lake City, against 7sl miles for the
Central Pacific between Oakland and
Ogden. The Central Pacific. how
ever, passes through more than forty
miles of snow sheds. The Western
Pacific will not require any.
The Central Pacific has a maxi
mum grade of los feet to the mile
westbound and 116 feet eastbound
across the Sierra Nevadas. Besides
this summit. it has grades OF IS feet
to the mile east and westbound be,
