homesteaders in the territory embraced by
the act near here continues. and at present
numerous families are living in tents near

in most cases. AS rule the homesteaders
are people who have wrestled with the
pioneer proposition before and come pre-
wise those who have been here for some
time, are giving much attention to dairy
ing and with their small herds of cows get
good returns. One family of Kinkaiders,
to the north OF here, contemplates planting
400 acres Of sod corn this season.
SUTHBRIAAND-Fr an authoritative
source Il is learned that the O'Fallon and
NOrthport extension Of the Union Pacific
will again be the scene of active railroad
building within the next few weeks. 1t Is
said orders have gone forth to the effect
that material and laborers for the COM
pletion of the road from the present termi-
nus near Lewellen on through TO Northport
should be on hand in a very short time.
Nearly half the distance from O'Fallon,
where the branch leaves the Overland, TO
NOrthport has been traversed by the new
track. but about three months ago work
was suspended for some reason. With re-
sumption of work II is likely that regular
train service will be installed for q consid-
cradle distance northwest.
