Dr. Rixey, at 1890 o'clock tonig t.
made this statement as he left the White
house:
Mrs. Mckinley is now resting com
fortably. Her condition shows no change
as compared with the situation ammo unc-
ed in this mornings bulletin
She has not lost any ground, nor, on
the other hand has there been any per

DR.. Rixey, when asked regarding the re-
suit OF the microscopic examination of
the patients blood. said he had nothing

Burlington Will Build to Salt
Lake City.
Estes Park Will Be Made a Rival
OF Yellowstone.
BRANCH FROM DENVER
Opens Up Vast New Territory
in Colorado.
Burlington Barred IRONY elbow
stone by Northern Pacific.

st. Paul. Mimi, Oct 4-The Pioneer
Press says today: Semi-official confir-
nation of the numerous reports that
the Burlington Will extend from Guern-
say, Wis, to Salt Lake City has been
obtained from sources generally con-
sidered reliable 1t became known that
a survey of the line has been COM
pleted, and official announcement that
the line will he built is expected with
in a month. The best informal ton is
that the new line will run south by
west. crossing the Union Pacific at
Laramie, Wyo. There it cuts into
northwestern Colorado in the region of
Estes park, and takes its course al
most due west to Salt Lake, passing
south of the Uintah mountains.
Coupled with the statement that the
Salt Lake survey has been completed
is information that a branch line Will
be built from Lyons the present ter
minus of the Burlington branch north
ward from Denver through Estes park
to the Salt Lake line at point north
of the park and just within the Wyom-
ing line. Equally reliable statements
are that TIE work of extension from
Cody, Wyo., TO the boundary of the
Yellowstone park will not be built.
The Burlington's purpose in extend
ing from Lyons is to develop Estes
famous IOr us NATURAL CuIiOSAt4So
and scenery, into a rival of the Yellow
stone. This is said to be partially a
result of a refusal by the Northern
Pacific to permit an extension from
Cody to the Yellowstone on the ground
that it would interfere with the North
ern Pacific tourist business. The new
Salt Lake line will give northwestern
Colorado its first railway communica-
ton, and will open a vast territory not
contiguous to railway lines at present.
1t will also give Denver a new connec-
ton with Salt Lake via the Lyons ex-
tension. Construction work on both
lines will begin in the spring.
