nounces a new train to be established Feb
ruary Is daily between Chicago. st. Louis
Kansas City and the northwest via Billings
and the Northern Pacific. This will make
two trains daily between the southeast and
the northwest over the Burlington and the
date selected for the inauguration of this
new service is the date of the commence
ment of the one-way colonist rates which
have been announced TO assist In the settle
ment of the northwest.
General Passenger Agent Wakely said:
THE necessity for this train has been
apparent for, some time, in face OF the
development and growth of population ana
traffic in the northwest. The westbound
train will receive eastern evening connec-
tons at st. Louis and Chicago and morn
ing connections at Kansas City, leaving
Omaha at p. IN. and Lincoln at p. IN.
This westbound train will carry the Black
Hills traffic instead of the late night train
! as heretofore. The train will arrive at
Butte and Helena on the second morning
and Spokane on that evening, Puget sound
at noon the next day and Portland that
evening.
1.-THE return eastbound train leaves Puget
sound in the morning. Spokane that night
Butte and Helena the next afternoon and
arrive dl OHldild at a III. lAS Ni-AN "'AS'
Kansas City that noon and ST. Louis that
night. The trains will consist of standard
4 sleepers, standard chair cars, tourist sleep
ers and diners all the way through.
1.-THE Black Hills traffic eastbound, will
come on the present through train. The
development of the Big Horn basin, the
| growth Of the Black Hills, the increase OF
| population along the Burlington northwest
| lines the great volume of spring colonist
travel and the greatly increased volume
of summer tourist travel to the Yellow
stone park and the northwest have made
this train imperative, as there is more
business than one train each way can
handle"
