TO ENTER ST. LOUIS
Santa Fe Is Negotiating With the
Burlington for Trackage Rights.

Altho Topeka officials assert they
have no information on the matter
press dispatches state that Chicago of
ficials of the Santa Fee have admitted
that the road is negotiating with the
Burlington to open a Santa Fe line to
St Louis. Under the negotiations as
reported the Santa F'e would be forced
to build several miles of road thru
Missouri and then obtain operating
rights over the Burlington. E. ]. En-
gel, assistant to President Ripley, has
announced that the negotiations are
under way but says there will not be
anything decided on the matter until

to the Burlington president states that

with the Burlington for track rights
