Negotiations With creston, Winter

Traffic to Short Line.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 6---It is reported
on excellent authority that negotiations
have been opened between the Creston.
Winterset & Des .Moines road and the
Chicago Great Western road that may
result in the building Of the Crsston
road to a connection with the Great
Western road at Peru and the opera
ton of the two roads under point
traffic arrangement or the taking over
of the Creston road under an operating
agreement by the Great Western.
The Creston, Winterset 4 Des
,Motnes road Is a short Independent
line extending from Creston northeast
to Macksburg. 1t has no outlet except
over the Burlington at Creston and It
is reported the Burlington has stead
fastly refused to give it the benefit Of
joint tariffs or other means of inter-
change Of business, insisting upon re-
ceiving all business from IT as though
originated and delivered by individ
uals at Creston. The practice has
been a handicap to the operation OF
road and especially interferred with its
crop supply.
The promoters intended building tne
line to Winterset and possibly to Des
Moines, but this failure to secure traf-
fic arrangements has interferred with
the placing of bonds so that the road
mas been built almost entirely with
funds derived from sales Of stock.

onto each lap, Power covered the distance

selfishness and yet give to the good fans
