equity which the Northern Pacific
now holds in the Burlington will pass
into the hands of the Great Northern
and within fifteen days the Burling-

This statement was made to a re-
porter of the Bee today by a man
close to the official family Of the Hill
roads, who has just returned from
Chicago where the intricate operation
Of this gigantic transaction is now
being perfected.
He makes the statement without re-
s~ervation.
so far as the lines OF track of the

being, in fact, n great system.
When the short cut from Billings to
Great Falls is completed, the unifca-
ton will be consummated. The wes-
tern terminus of the Burlington Is
Billings, where It meets the Northern
Pacific. A line has been in progress
of construction for some time from
Billings to Great Falls. where tn
Great Northern runs ON its way to he
coast.
This line viii be son finished and
