WAR IS ON IN COLORADO
Due To Change OF Control of Former
Allied EOsd-BUrIingten,S since Pur-
chasing the Colorado Hnd Southern,
Has Taken Business Heretofore
Divided with the Union Pacific.

Denver. Jan l5-E. Il Hartman has
ordered the engineering department Of
the Union Pacific 10 parallel al once the
lines Of the Colorado and Southern IN
the northern part Of the State. over
100 men viii be thrown into the field
as soon as they can be organized. and the
renewal OF the fight between Hartman
and Hill. which was predicted by Wall
street as a result OF the sale Of the Col
orado and Southern to the Burlington. has
begun.
Another force Of Union Pacific survey
ors has been put in the field to locale a
line from Pueblo 20 Durango, at which
point the Union Pacific is to connect with
a line under construction by the Southern
Pacific from the main lines in Arizona
70 Durango The Union Pacific VIII then
connect these lines with the main line at
Denver.
These moves are a direct result Of the
change IN control Of the Colorado and
Southern. That road and the Union Pa
cific were on friendly terms. and inter
changed business from the Northern ter
ritory 10 such an extent that the Union
Pacific was satisfied not to antagonize
the Colorado and Southern.
Almost Immediately following the
change IN control OF the Colorado and
Southern this business was all switched
to the Burlington, and as a result the
Union Pacific must lose the local busi-
ness from the Northern towns or fight.
