The Burlinpton,s New Short Line.

The Burlington Route is u notable ex
ception to the general run of western
railroads. During Il period when rail-
road building in this country has been
almost at a standstill, il has been steadi.
ly pushing forward its northwest ex-
tension and now takes much pleasure
in announcing its completion to Billings,
Mont. 1893 miles from Omaha.
At Billings, connection is made with
the Northern Pacific Railroad and, I'M
der a traffic agreement with that com.
pany, business of all classes is exchanged
there, or. more properly speaking, rout.
ed through that poll 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-rednces the distance
between Omaha, Kansas City, st. Louis
and the territory south and southeast OF
those cities, on the one hand, and Mon
tana, Northern Idaho and Puget Sound
points, on the other, all the way from
30 to 473 miles. 1t thus becomes en-
important factor in bringing the vast
CAOpt VI ApilAtN GtsNSh W nv U
ern Pacific into closer relationship with
the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys.
Just to illustrate things The New
Short Line saves
294 miles between Omaha and Helena,
22l miles between Omaha and Butte,
81 miles between Omaha and Spokane,
81 miles between Omaha aud Tacoma,
40 miles between Omaha and Seattle.
