MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1919 RAIL YARDS AT LUGK EXTENDED Two More Industrial Tracks; Planned as Well as Round- . house for New Division. (Special to The Tribune) LUSK, Wyo., Feb. 17.—The vast) quantities of materials needed by the operating companies in the Lusk oil field, has increased the business of the Northwestern Railroad to such an extent that the new irack completed some six weeks ago is entirely inadequate to accommo-! date the enormous amount of ship-| ping that is handled here. The rail- way officials, anticipating an even greater amount of business, have prepared plans for two new indus- trial tracks four thousand feet in length and extensions to all of the present siding where possible. The business done by the railway at Lusk in January, 1919, was more than ten times greater than for the same period one year ago. Roundhouse and Shops The new plans of the railway peo- ple provide for a roundhouse, the first unit to be built as soon as ma- terial and labor can be obtained, and will accommodate from ten to twelve locomotives. In conjunction with the new round-house wilk be a modern machine shop equipped in the latest manner to take care of the local re- pairs. Locations in Demand Applications for space for the erec- tion of supply warehouses at Lusk have been made by the Leidecker Tool company, the National Supply company, the Carter Oil company, the Texas Oil company, the Buck Creek Oil company, the Glenrock, Cactus, Western States and many others. The allotment of this space will be made as soon as the railroad company. has determined as to just how much land can be spared. ° New Picture House Hal Faust, has purchased a site at First und Main streets known as ine Henry corner on which Mr. Faust will erect a modern picture’ house with a_seating capacity of about five hundred. The construc- t-on will commence immediately. $250,000 Hotel Projected The assurance of the new $250,000 hetel at the corner of Third and) Main street will be the starting df a) n w extension to the present busi-! ness section. The Arnold residence in the same block in which the new hotel will be located, was purchased +yesterday by Denver capitalists, who, it is reported, will remove the resi- dence to some other location and will! ¢zect modern business buildings on this site. he George Giinther property is reported sold to Mr. Schulte of Casper. New Restaurant Opened Fagan & Russell George Keller lence on Second | street to Mrs. Josephine Quarmby of Denver, who will remodel and equip the same for an up-to-date restaurant. Negotiations are being made for the sale of many business properties, and it is predicted that business property in Lusk will ad- vance to double within the next six months. > More matches are used in Great aie n than in any other count iM Serato ceatetecteateteceeeetntntectedoe ALL ABOARD For The Elks’ Minstrel IRIS THEATRE TOMORROW NIGHT? % ms Cotes er eregorer ey 1% oeeges e 8.15 P.
