An exchange says: The Boston stock
holders say that the Burlington q North
ern has one very good reason for its
existence which is generally lost sight of.
1t is IL connecting link between the Chi
cago, Burlington u Quincy and the
Manitoba systems, in which there is a
large common ownership. Both the Bur-
lington and President Hill Of the Mani
toba were heavy original stockholders in
the Burlington u Northern. The impor-
lance of the connection is obvious, and a
sufficient excuse for building the Bur-
lington g. Northern is found IN the
strategic necessity Of a Burlington line
into the northwest.
