It should not be lost sight of for one moment that the commercial intelligence of Omaha is fully convinced that three new roads ar il to give this to trade territory sho s anxions to supply Wl which she will be able to supply the moment the way is opened for our merchants, Two of these sections lic in northeastern and northwestern Nebraska, right at our doors, bat barred ot fr de rela- tions by lack of rail connections with this metropolis. A direet line to the Elkhorn valley and an wir line to - Yankton would ach meet a long feit want. They should be built during the coming year and they will be built if existing roads know their opportunity and are willing to approach Omaha with a friendly desire to meet her needs.
