To be extended to a junction with the Union Pacific RR. in the 100th meridian, or near Fort Kearney, about 250 miles from present terminus.

The Company is now seeking the aid of Government ($16,000 per mile) for the purpose of carrying out the original object in providing for this Branch-its extension to the Union Pacific line.
