Work is progressing nicely on the
line the Great Northern is building be-
tween Billings and Great Falls, Mont,
which will connect with the Burlington
at Billings and which will add a vast
new territory to the Omaha markets"
said Mr.. HoldreEe.
I'VE went from Billings to Alliance,
out on that line to Guernsey and re-
turned, going with the party to st. Joseph,
from which place they went to Kansas
City. The trip was simply to look over
the territory to become more familiar
with the operating problems which are
constantly coming up. Nothing new was
decided upon at this time.
THE whole country looked splendid
and Mr. Hill and the others were much
impressed with the outlook, especially in
western Nebraska. We made the Journey
by daylight jumps. In some places the
people thought they needed a little rain.
but I understand they got it after wO
came through.
THE Sheridan division, which has been
giving us considerable trouble of late be-
cause of the heavy traffic. is getting
cleaned up nicely and the business u NOV
ing right along"
