+. l.. Sheppard, travelling freight
agent of the Milwaukee railroad, was
in Judith Gap this week looking over
the matter of connections between
the two roads at this point. Mr..
Sheppard believes the most feasible
plan of getting together is to rebuild
the Milwaukee track from Okla to the
present Great Northern station, par
alleling the Great Northern line from
the passenger depot to the Milwau-
KEGS present water tank and then OH
to I.ewistOwn over the old rOadbed.
This change would necessitate the re-
moval of the Milwaukee depot to a
point a few rods south of the present
Great Northern depot, and the build
ing Of the freight house. Mr.. Shep-
paM will recommend this change
first. and second to run Il spur from
the main line to freight depot to be
erected near the Great Northern sta
ton for the handling of freight only
The only practicable and most eco
nomical proposition is the first one
thus running all Milwaukee trains
right into Judith Gap over a less per
cent grade than the present route.
