Gregory and Trip Counties.
Dallas News: Promoters are now
in the field working for a railroad
right.of-way through southern Trip
county, supposed to be in connection
with Cornell's proposed line from Val
| entine to Spencer. A reader of this
paper, residing in the vicinity of Pax
| ton, has sent in the following com
| munication:
Noting an article some time ago
| in your valuable paper in regard to
a railroad that is going to run into
Trip and Gregory counties, the PEG.
pie in this vicinity have become very
| much interested in the matter. They
have been holding meetings in Trip
| county-on section SO, just west of
| here-and practically all are in favor
| of giving the right-Of-way. In addi-
| ton to this, large number are favor
| able to donating 81 an acre for rea-
sonable distance from the survey.
| The farmers want to reserve the
| townsite in Trip county for the
! benefit of the community of the rail

provement."

last week for the Nebraska & North.
| western railway, the line that is go
ing to be built to Springview.
Spaulding and Springview are
designated as the terminal points.
The Towl Engineering company of
Omaha is now engaged in making the
| survey for this line and the constTuc-
| ton seems certain, as the cash bonus
| that has been put up is sufficient to
| build the railroad from Bassett to
Springview.
All kinds of railroad rumors are
afloat in northern Nebraska and in
| southern South Dakota-among 9TH
| ers one to the effect that the Carter

party of surveyors who were working
| in southern Trip last fall, supposed
| to be Burlington men, are back on the
| job again, but they decline to give
any information as to their purposes,
hopes or intentions, all of which
usually Is regarded as a hopeful and
progressive sign.
A party Of surveyors unloaded last
week at ONeill, Neb., and it is stated
that they will work on a line north
from Ord. Cornell still is active on
his Valentine to Spencer project, and
the people in and around Naper seem
TO think this is sure go at an early
date.

She hesitated a moment, and then

Announcement Of the fact that Wal
ter S. Clayton would be a candidate for
mayor on the organization ticket next
spring has temporarily switched the IN
terests from the county to the city Po-
liticaI arena. Although the election does
not occur until next May, the pOssibili-
ties of electing an administration
candidate Is being considered seriously
and the fight which the anti-ring Is
making now to defeat the ''ring" ticket
for the county Jobs viii be continued
with even more spirit until after the
spring election
The opposition to Clayton, the oppo-
sitiOn leaders say, Is not a personal one,
as he Is well liked. But the cry viii be
to beat the ring and every effort viii
be made to defeat the Organizations
candidate for the city executive office
No opposition candidates have vet been
considered, as 1t Is the desire of the Op-
position to wait until the ring has an
nOunced positively who its candidate viii
be. Then a strong man will be selected
to poll the united opposition vote and
with the support Of an anti-ring organ
