To Extend From O,Nelll7

Sioux City Tribune: Persistent ru.
mors of the early extension of what
is known as the O'Neill division of the
Burlington railroad are current in
Sioux City, and have been for some
time. That the road will ultimately
be extended has been a foregone con-
clusion ever since 1t was first acquir,
ed by the Great Northern and later
turned over to the Burlington. That
this extension will take place in the
near future is now generally believed,
and the frequent trips of officials of
the line over that division have given
rise to the belief that early action Is
contemplated. No official announce
ment has been made by any of the
Burlington officials and an effort to
get into communication with George
W. Holdridge, general manager Of the
Burlington system west of the Mis-
souri, river, failed, on account of MIR.
Holdridge's absence from his offices
