The Burlington railroad is making
rapid strides as a competitor of the
Union and Northern Pacific routes.
Last Friday, Saturday and Sunday there
passed through Edgemont seven train
loads Of tea and silks. The merchan-
disc was bonded through to destination,
and the trains made a regular time of
% miles an hour with 26 cars in each
train. The majority of the loads were
for European ports, and will 60 straight
through without being touched after
loading. This is a gain on the part of
the Burlington which carries consider
able weight with it, as it brings the road
into competition with all roads having
sea frontage. With the business this
road is now doing it will not be long
until it is a necessity for the construc
ton Of a road to the coast to handle the
large importing trade. 1t is proved to
be cheaper to ship tea from China and
Japan to the coast and transport it to
New York for shipment to Europe, than
run the risk of long voyages.-Edge.

should the attendance be increased, as
