Smith for an- | other bridge across the Missouri river be- tween Council Bluffs and Omaha is in the | interest of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pi eific Rallway company and not at the in-| ance of the Great Western. | The Rock Island at present uses the | Unlon Pacific bridge, but it is sald that| the rallroad’s increasing interests in the west demand that it have a bridge of its own across the Missourl. Local railroad | men are inclined to the opinion that thero | 18 something In this latest solution of the bridge mystery. Nothing, however, can be | learned from Congressman Smith, as he han | declined to give any information concern- ing the proposed bridge. As far as can be | learned here, the Central Bridge & Rail- way company, In whose interests the bill | was ostensibly introduced by Congressman | Smith, has not yet filed articles of incor- poration In this state. It certainly bas not filed any in this county up to date The statement that the bill was not in- troduced on behalf of the Great Western | is_strengthened by proceedings brought yesterday by this railroad to condema a crossing over the tracks of the Omaha Bridge & Terminal Rallway company in this city. The fact that the Great Western seeks to conlemn a crossing over the tracks of the Terminal company at Four- teenth strect between Ninth and Tenth avenues is taken to indicate that it in- tends to continuc the comstruction of its tracks to the Transfer depot and reach Omaba over the Unlon Pacific bridge. Local representatives of the Great Western, who | say ‘they would have information if the Great Western intended constructing a | bridge of its own across the Missourl, in- | sist that they know mnothing about the Great Western being Interested in the bill introduced by Congressman Smith.

The city central committee, of which J. J.
