RAILROAD BOOMING
Said That Bond Issue is Provided for
Will Adhere To Original Route
More Money Raised for road
Success In Sight

The following from the current issue
of the Walnut Bureau will be of local
interest:
"The board of directors of the lows
& Omaha Short Line ny. Co met al
the general Office at Walnut Tuesday,
March 23rd and went over the entire
details aud business of the road.
President Adams reported raising
sufficient finance to build the road
from Council Bluffs to Treyhor, which
report was accepted and ordered spread
on the records. The question of the
contract for engineering aud construc-
tiod of the road was then taken up and
fully discussed, which was finally
awarded to Geo. w. Adams, giving
him full power 70 sub. let or sub CON
tract any and all parts of the road,
which was certainly afro. z endorse
ment of his individual ability ia put
ting the road on its feet in spite of the
tack hammer opposition that had
tried to demonstrate itself in tie Wal
nut vicinity.
Mr.. L. G.. Travis of the Ralston Sc
curity Company that is building the
suburb at Ralston. and is putting in
the Raiston Locomotive and Car
Works, WAS before the board and pre-
sented his plan 10 handle the entire
bond issue of the road. His plan was
taken under advertisement to be taken
up in future meeting as the board
has had so many tlattering offers from
80 many bond houses for their securi-
ties that they are giving all the bond
houses careful consideration.
The board added two new directors
to their directorate, III. f. Scar aud
William Husz, two Of the largest tax
payers in Pottawattanie county, with
an aggregate wealth of over half a
million dollars and have taken about
S35 900 in stock and bonds in the road
themselves, which certainly shows
that President Adams has the right
kind of backing Construction work
Will begin on the road just as soon as
the ground is in condition to work"

Most OF the things that worry us
Don't matter much
Too many of us fret and fuss
1t every touch;
There's nothing that's of great concern
Except to live, and love and learn.

That counts for most;
It's being brave, and kiud and good,
Amid the host;
Far better than to crave and yearn,
Is just to live and love and learn.

TORPEDO BOAT REPAIRS.
From a reliable source it has been
learned that the secretary of the navy

cola navy yard as the point where all
torpedo boats are to be repaired in
the future. The work done upon the

tOrily than has previously been done at
the Charleston yard, and this has re-
suited in the decision to have all
work Of this class done here.
Ii is understood that the commander
of the marine corps is to ask for an
of 100000 with which
to construct barracks, as it is the in
tention to in future keep large num-
bers of marines stationed here.
