provements, equipment and repairs between
September, 1909 and July, 1910. When the
Morgan interests gained control of the

said the visiting railroad president, "and
fully S10 OOO, 600 will have to be expended by
July l, in additions, equipment and i'm
pTovements. At present, most OF our work
has been from Oelwen east as this portion
of the road needs more attention than the
other divisions, as 1t is fed by the Omaha,
Kansas City and Minneapolis branches.
The western lines will receive attention in
due time.
Put ROad in Detter shape,
1T has been our object to build new
bridges, cut down the grades and provide
track generally.
My visit here has no particular signifl-
cance, as l am simply here to settle up
a number Of routine details with the Union
Pacific 1t is nothing that will interest the
public, as the business is such as may be
considered regular and has to do with
contracts, repairs on bridges and stations

in such good shape by the first Of Sep

we do not have a big increase in our
