MILWAUKEE IN BURLINGTON.
Travelling Freight Agent Looking ur
Shipping Prospects.

Burlington, Sept. 1S.-V. A. Ross
bach, travelling freight and passenger
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul road, was in Burlington yes,
terday, interviewing the business men
as to freight business. In view of the
repeated rumors that the Milwaukee
was interested in the new North and
South extension into Burlington, Mr..
Rossbach's visit to Burlington is con-
sidered significant. When asked the
intentions Of the Milwaukee in the
matter, Mr.. Rossbach answered vague
| ly, saying he knew nothing about the
rumor that his road was back of the
new enterprise. When asked why he
was looking up freight business here
he smiled significantly and said his
road was reaching out in all direc-
ton for business now.

Annual Report of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul Railway.
LIGHT THROWNON COMPANY'S POLICY
The Cutoff Will Shorten the Chicago.
Kansas City Line 1896 Miles-Men-
ton Also Made of Proposed Rock
Island Cutoff.

Davenport, Sept. 1S.-The thirty
seventh annual report of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul is of special In
terest as being the first official an
nouncement from the company OF its
plans in regard to the Milwaukee cut
off. In describing the movement CT
the road to secure more direct line
between Chicago and Kansas City the
reDort shows that there has been be-
gun the construction of line from
Ashdale, Ill, to a point one and nine
tenths miles south to Thompson, Ill,
distance of 14.67 miles; and from
Muscatine, Ia, to Rutiedge, Ia, dis
lance of 1898 miles. These new lines
together with the joint use of the
lines of the Davenport, Rock Island &
Northwestern from East Moline to
Day export and of the line of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific from Dav-
export to Muscatine. which has been
acquired, will shorten the distance be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City 31.36
miles. The total length of lines to be
constructed is 90.65 miles, at an esti-
mated cost of $2.S66,9S2.
! The significance of the above is to
be. found in the fact that it definitely
determines that at least part of the
business over the cutoff is to be rout-
ed via the Illinois side of the river
aud come to Davenport over the lower
bridge 1t is probable that some of it
will also be routed over the Daven-
port Clinton line, which has always
been taken TO be. the better line for
the fast trains, doing away with the
necessity Of their running slowly for
s9eeral miles through Rock Island AMI
Moline and doubling on their track to
come up to Davenport after crossing
the bridge. or returning to the bridge
after coming up to Davenport from
the southwest.
The shortening of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST., Paul's line by 31.9e
miles leaves the mileage of the Chica
: go-Kansas City lines as follows:
!, Miles
Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe. ..45S.1
Chicago & Alton. .............. ASA
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. AS!
Chicago, Milwaukee & st, Paul. 10000
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific. .517
: bChjcago Great Western. .597
The new line that the Chicago, Rocl
Island & Pacific is building south from
Eldon to Kansas City will shorter
, that line so that it will average, up t.
. tie Burlington, it is said. The nev
, line is in process of construction.
a The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Pau
y l:ne from Chicago to Moline will here
! atfer be 1857 miles, or forty-thre
: miles shorter than the c., r. |. & P
n and will be the means of putting Elgi
; on a main line from here. The dis
!, lance to Rockford is also shortene
). and is now 110.67 miles.
