Eassrprls sooB, Says Division Agent
Mack.
Arumor was prevalent last even
ing that the c., b. & Q. road had
during the day made the purchase of
. large tract of land below the glu-
cose works in Davenport for track
and terminal purposes, and this re-
port gave rise TO the theory that the
Burlington proposed crossing the new
Crescent bridge here into Iowa and
possibly Of transferring its division
terminal facilities TO that side of the
river. Division Agent Mack, how
ever. strenuously denied any par-
chase of property by the Bur-
lington on the Davenport side
or any intention of such q pur.
pose, when approached ON the sub
Jeet this morning by an ARGUS rep
resentative. and he said that all
reports ~ TO the Burlington's con-
templated use of the Crescent bridge
were likewise groundless.
A. to the New Depot.
When asked when the company
proposed erecting its depot on T~en-
tieth street, Mr.. Mack said that that
was . question that had not yet been
fully determined, but that he had
hopes that operations would be
begun before very long. "Oar peo-
people have been 90 engaged with
the problem of track elevation in
Chicago" continued Mr.. Mack, "a
subject which has absorbed much Ct
the attention Of General Manager
Brown since assuming the duties OF
hts present. position, that there
has not been time for much
consideration Of outside enterprises
and improvements. Now thst the
company has decided upon It's avs

add the Jackson's Hole country to the
park. The area which it was proposed
to take in is about so miles square and
contains Jackson's lake and the Three
