The Burlington's New short Line.

The Burlington's New short Line.
The Burlington Route is a notable
exception to the general rule of western
railroads.
During a period when railroad build
ing in this country has been almost at
stand-still, it has been steadily push
ing forward it's north west extension
and now takes much pleasure in an
nouncing its completion to Billings,
Mont, 1893 miles from Omaha.
At Billings, connection is made with
the Northern Pacific Railroad and,
under traffic agreement with that
company, business of all classes is ex-
changed there, or, more properly speak
ing, routed through that point to and
from every station on or reached via
the Northern Pacific and Burlington
Systems.
This New Short Line-for that is ex-
actly what it is-reduces the distance
between Omaha, Kansas City, st. Louis
and the territory south and southeast
of these cities, on the one hand, and
Montana, Northern Idaho and Puget
Sound points, on the other, all the way
from so to Alb miles. It thus becomes
an important factor in bringing the
vast cope of country served by the
Northern Pacific into closer relation
ship with the Missouri and Mississippi
Valleys.
Just to illustrate things: The New
Short line saves
294 miles between Omaha and Helena
224 miles between Omaha and Butte.
81 miles between Omaha and Spo-
kane.
"a miles between Omaha and Tacoma
40 miles between Omaha and Seattle.
The new Line has been constructed
in most substantial manner. Excel
lently ballasted, laid with the heaviest
steel upon more than the usual number
of ties, it equals the best and Oldest
portions of the Burlington system.
People whose opinion is worth hav-
ing, pronounce it superior to any new
track ever built in the western states.
The train-service will consist of Pull
man Palace Sleeping cars, Reclining
Chair cars (seats free), and Standard
Burlington Route Day coaches, Omaha
and Lincoln to Billings daily.
AS Scenic Route, the New Short
Line takes high rank.
The rich farms of eastern and central
Nebraska; the more sparsely settled
country that lies between Ravenna and
the boundry line separating Nebraska
and South Dakota; the canons, peaks
and swelling meadow-lands of the Black
Hills, the wonderful "Devil's Tower''
the irrigated districts of northern Wy
oming; Custer Battlefield; the pictur-
esque windings of the Little Big Horn;
the glorious valleys of the great Grow
Indian reservation-all these are seen
from the car window.
