1t is expected that the new line of the
Baltimore Il Ohio between Chicago and
Pittsburg will be opened about July 1.
When the Missouri, Kansas IL Texas is
taken out of the hands of a receiver in
May, as is now contemplated. it is probable
that John D. Rockefeller will BIO elected
president.
President Ashley. of the Wabash, has pre-
persuaded the English ~bondholders in the
road to advance the So ,O00,O GOO required to
build the new line from Laketcn junction,
Ind. to Chicago.
The Offices of W. G. Collins, general
superintendent of the Milwaukee q st.
Paul. and G. Z. Simpson, superintendent of
transportation, have been removed from
Milwaukee to Chicago.
The Baltimore d Ohio has not as yet
made any definite arrangements for termi-
nails in Chicago, but negotiations are in
progress with the Illinois Central for both
passenger and freight facilities. The Hi
nois Central asks Il large increase in rent
and the matter will be submitted to the
Baltimore d. Ohio directors.

Big Losses on the Burlington.

Although the cost of operating the Bur
mgton system for March, 1891. was reduced
early one-sixth as compared with March,
1890, there WAS n falling off IN neat earn
ings of nearly &403, 600. The causes for
this bad showing are the same az during
tho past six months. In addition to this
the tonnage and revenue for March, 1890.
WAS unusually large, so that the compari-
son makes Il much wOTse showing. While
the passenger earnings increased a66,3i5.7l
the 'eysnuo from freight traffic was STA,
.4l.lb less than in March, 1890. For the
first tn &c months OF 1891 the cost of OPERA
ton WIS S5l8, S07.lS less than IN the same
pc iod Of 1850. but the loss in revenue has
been so 81 Mt that for 1891 there Is n deficit
Of &252. 1886. Up to March 81, 1891, this
year shows u loss ia revenue FROM frelgh;

Helena to White Sulphur.

There appears to be rather a good basis
upon which to base the belief shat Helena
capital will build a railroad to White Sui
phhr Springs and Castle within the next
twelve months, says The Townsend Messenss
ger. 1t cannot fail to be among the best
paying ines in the state if no mistake is
made in selecting the route. The most
profitable as well as the most practicable
route would be nearly east I, ON Helena to
a point on the Missouri river near Stubb's
Ferry; thence to Canyon Ferry: thence
along the plateau to a point on Confederate
gulch at or near Bakers ranch; thence up
the valley to Townsend; thence by way of
Ioston to the mouth of Sixteen Mile creek;
thence up that stream and IN to Castle
Mountain mining district. ana thence to
White Sulphur Springs. From there the
road could be continued into the judith
Basin and a branch run from White Sulphur
Springs to Nelhart. A branch line
could be constructed from Tos-
ton up the Crow creek valley to the
RaderaburG and Dogtown mining districts
and another rom Townsend via St. Louis
to the park. The route here named may
not be the shortest one to reach White Sui
phur Springs. but it would be of as much
value to her as any other and il the nearest
and most practicable route to Castle, and
the branches enumerated are all short and
could be built cheap. 1t would tap the
Missouri, Crow creek. Smith river, Mussei-
1hell and Judith valleys-all wonderfully
Itch in agricultural and pastoral possibili-
ties-and it would also reach four of the
most p omising mining districts in the
state. 1t would enter a virgin field, com
ing IN competition with another road for n
Few miles only. 1t would, for a great yart
of the distance, traverse thickly populated
districts, whose local traffic would pay the
operating expenses, while the mines will
produce ore enough to load ten trains a day
at a low estimate.

Cumming, lately of tho Union Pacific. had

Cumming, lately of tho Union Pacific. had
received the appointment of professor of
railroad law in Columbia law school. Ow-
ing to Professor Dwight's resignation, there
has been a complete REQ rganization of that
famous institution anu MIR. Cumming came
in with Third Assistant Secretary of State
Moore as one of the new professors. One
of tho trustees of the college told me that
Cummings qualifications were considered
by far tho best of those of any candidate
sugg ested. He added. what | had not
known before, that the new professor had
studied law in Gottingen and had formerly
been a tutor in Columbia. Professor Cum
ming has now u life salary of $1,000 year
with a three months vacation each year
and a years vacation every seven"
A Denver paper, CONNIE nting. on the
above, says: 'The gentleman spoken OF IN
such high terms is the one, who, when on
the Union Pacific is credited with having
ordered a passenger coach into the shop on
account of the Baker heater being i'll the
wrong end of the car. and afterwards found
that the car could be- turned around on a Y
or turn table without necessitating the re-
building of the oar"

G. Is. Simpson, who in 1885 opened up
Wells Fargo business in Helena, has just

that company at Kansas City, succeeding

tinued their business in Helena, Mr.. Simp-
son was promoted to be agent at Denver,
which he has since held. He is but 30
years of age. but has been entrusted with
many positions of responsibility since he
began working for the company thirteen
years ago. He began as messenger in 1873.

Must Paw Cash for Tickets,

One of the rules of the Western Passen-
ger association provides that ticket agents
shall not be permitted to sell tickets to any
person on credit, but shall require cash
down at the time of the delivery of the
ticket. Chairman Finley has decided that
this rule must be observed literally and
that there is no warrant for the extension
OF its application to such collaterals as the
baggage and other chattels of a passenger.

since the lnveAtion OF the telegraph.
The first symptoms of the gradually
widening stoppage of all electric COM

Louisville and Tuesday the trouble had
grown to such proportions that the
usual makeup OF lengthy circuits had
been completely abandoned, and a curl
Gus ia chwork OF roundabout routes

tele crap lic traffic Tuesday night the
country west and northwest Of Chicago
