Be- tween the Omaha terminus on California strectand the military road the line is nearly graded; between the military road and tock yards the line 1s nearly three-fourths completed, The trouble is at present that there is a big cut to be made at the Summit, to complete which will require some weeks yot.

The cost of the Belt railway Mr. Clark, repeating the last qu put to lim by the BEE men. am almost ashamed to tell you, it has be s0 enormous. The cost per mile has been nearly $10,000, largely owing to the greediness of prop: erty owners, who compelled oufrageous prices for ngllt of way | leges.
