Another Bridge
Across Missouri
River at Omaha

ttrom starr CorreSpondentl
WASHINGTON, March 6.-tSpecial Tel
Green Of Iowa has
introduced a bill to authorize the Gen.
trail Railway Bridge company, an Iowa
corporation. to construct street railway,
steam railway, foot and vehicle bridge
across the Missouri river at or near Coun-
ell Bluffs. The proposed structure. IT is
understood Will be located between the
bridge Of the Union Pacific and the I'LL
nols Central railway. and will cost up
wards OF 100000.
There is urgent need for this bridge" :"
said Mr.. Green today. Traffic across
the Union Pacific bridge is very much
congested. Passenger trains are fire.
quently held up for an hour, and AS for
freight. nobody knows as TO how much
delay II is subjected. | know Of cases
where freight shipped from Council Bluffs
has not reached South Omaha for nearly
two weeks. Furthermore. trans-oontl-
mental mails are also subject TO delay,
and the same thing is undoubtedly true
of local mail between the two river cities.
Il understand that the Union Pacific
proposes to enlarge its bridge, but even
IL Il did so. II would be unable to meet
the growing need for another bridge. My
predecessor. Walter l. Smith, succeeded In
passing bill similar to mine but the
company was unable to raise necessary
funds. and the authority under his meas
ure has now lapsed. The Central Bridge
company is anxious to have this bill
passed as they believe they can now Sc
cure money to build it,

UNUSUAL SERVICE PROMISED
Magnificent Train Will Be Run Be-
tween Chicago and Frisco.
TINE SHORTENED FOUR HOURS
Because of Extraordinary Equip
ment and Employment of Nsri-
Gus Experts Hartman Lines
VIII Charge Extra.

Extraordinary train service between
Chicago and San Francisco, via Omaha
and ogden. Will be established on MAY
!, by the Northwestern. Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific. 1t will be. known as
the New Overland Limited, and will chop
four hours from the present running time
between these two extreme terminals
The present running time Is sixty-eight
and one-half hours, while the new ser
vice will carry passengers in siNts-four
hours. When the Los Angeles limited
was put on few years ago, making the
distance in seventy-two hours, it was re-
garded as remarkable time.
Because of the superior fast service an
excess fare Of SO will be charged be-
tween Chicago and San Francisco 1t Is
probable that the Northwestern Will not
charge extra fares between Chicago and
Omaha. The excess fares between other
intermediate points will be as follows:
Chicago and Ogden or Salt lake. $3.50
Omaha and San Francisco, SI.ths
Omaha and Ogden or salt Lake, St1.
Ogden or Salt Lake and San Fran
cisco. sS.5e
Many Advantages.
The equipment will be all steel Of the
latest type OF construction. The cars will
be lighted from a dynamo. The first car

mo. baggage. cafe, library car. and Will

perts in manicuring and hair-dressing

stenographers who will be carefully Sc
iected and trained 10 give Information
concerning the points Of interest enrohte
stenographle services will be given free.
Special dining cars are being con
structed for this train, and every atten-
tIon is being given TO make 1t as con-
yenient and as practical as possible. The
crews will be made up Of picked men,
Much stress will be laid upon the morn
ing arrival and afternoon and evening de-
parture from each terminal, the four
hours that will be taken off the train
westbound insuring full business day
in San Francisco. and a later departure
from San Francisco gives practically a
full day.
Under the new arrangement no DELAYS
will be necessary in Omaha, as the train
will run solid over the Northwestern,
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific to
the coast. The Overland Limited is now
made up from cars taken from the Mil
waukee and Northwestern. and delays are
often occlsioned at this point to make
connections. ...
