New Trans-ContinentaI Railroad

The people of Colorado can no longer re-
gard the Burlington Route as an eastern
railroad, first, last, and all the time.
By the completion of cutoff from Brush
Colo, toAlliance, Neb,, distance of $50
miles, the Burlington enters the field as a
strong competitor not only for business
from Colorado to the Black Hills; but also
to Montana and the Puget Sound country.
The new line was opened Sunday, Sept. 16.
1t Is laid with s5 10. steel rails; the ties are
chemically preserved; the grade is 1s feet
wide, and from the opening day trains will
run over it at high speed. At present, only
one passenger train day will be operated
Denver at 11;3O p. m., reaching Alliarce,
Neb., the next morning in time to connect
with the Overland Express for Portland and
intermediate points, running over the Bur
lington and Northern Pacific railroads.
The Burlington Route has substantial
advantage in point of mileage over COM
peting railroads from Colorado to points as
far west as Spokane, Wash. To Seattle and
Tacoma, it will offer better service than any
other railroad or combination of railroads.
If you are contemplating trip to the
Northwest-Helena, Butte, Anac onda, Spo-

your ticket reads via the Burlington Route
from Denver to Billings, thence over the
