Falls City never presented such a
busy aspect as at present. 1t is like
a hive of bees in the early spring
when the trees are in full bloom.
Everybody is at work. And the pecu-
liar feature just now is that almost
all the work being done is for the
enlargement and improvement of
Falls City. There is scarcely a
block in the south part of town but
upon which n or more houses
is going III In other places the
houses are being remodeled, enlarged
and made to be more nearly in keep
ing with the larger idea of the new
and greater Falls City.
The street Improvement now under
way are assuming greater proportions
each day. Mr.. Heineman is going
after the paving of Stone street with
his old time dash and energy which
not only promises Falls City a good
job of paving but, the least possible
delay in getting the work complete
and the street cleared of all dirt.
A number of the old plank cross
ings are being torn out and con-
crete is going in as rapidly as the
force of Workmen available makes it
possible to do the work. A lot of
new sidewalks are also going in in
different parts of the city. 1t is
rather early to undertake any large
contracts in this line on account of
the possibility of frosts.
Work about the M. p. yards is
being pushed with vigor. 1t is
hoped to get the shops in running
order at an early date. The COM
pany is anxious to get everything in
shape to take advantage of the large
traffic of the spring season.

Indefinite rumors circulating about
he railroad yards, that the Burling-
on has not entirely given up the
dea of making Falls City a division
loint, between Lincoln and st. Joe.
70 doubt, their decision in the mat
.er will depend largely upon devel-
lpments in Falls City, and the city's
,ttitude to ~railroading generally.
1t is unfortunate at this juncture,
'hen such important matters bear
ing upon the future of our town, that
the town itself is so Indifferent to
the propositions apparently being of
fered to us. Falls City should be
out after these things in a most de-
termined way. If we do not land
them now, we are not likely to do
so for any time to come. If we
are to become a railroad center why
not be a big one. A union depot, a
%roundhouse and yards for the b. and

the greater Falls City. There seems
