THREE BIG COMING EVENTS of Great Importance to the West. WYOMING WOOL GROWERS' ASSN., THERMOPOLIS, WYO., JANUARY 15-17, 191? AMERICAN NATIONAL LIVE STOCK ASSN., CHEYENNE, WYO., JANUARY 18 20, 1917 NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW, . DENVER, COLO., JANUARY 20-27, 1917 These gatherings attract men of affairs throughout the broad West. The three cities named oer much in the way of hospitality,' The Burlington's new train service between Alliance and Wend over, trains 31 and 32 and its through service routes in Wyoming and Colorado-make it very easy to visit any or all of these attract ive cities.

WAKICLKY, General IWenger Ageut, 1Q04 Farnain Htrert, Oinuha, Nebraka NEW COAL CIIUTKS AT HAIjSKY AND 1MXWKN The Burlington will soon begin the construction of two new roal chutes of the latest pattern. Those chutes will be placed at Roggen, Col., and HaUey, Nebr., where chutes for merly In use were burned down. Since authority was asked to replace these with modern steel chutes, fires have destroyed the chutes at Oxford and Scottsbluff. NO GREAT INCREASE IN OIL FOR FUEL It Is stated that It Is not probable that the use of oil for locomotives on lines near the Wyoming oil fields will greatly Increase for some time. While the production of oil has greatly Increased both the Burling ton and Northwestern have been buying oil under contracts that are said to make the Bale of fuel to these roads almost a loss to the oil pro ducers. Since these contracts were made the price of oil has greatly ad vanced and It Is said the oil produc ers would be happy. If the roads would cancel the contracts and go back to the use of coal exclusively. While the price of coal la up a bit now, It is believed It will go down wHh the coming of warm weather, while oil prices are likely to remain high. . RCSINESS HEAVY IN THE EAST TERMINALS CH(StEl) Frank T. Darrow, engineer for the Burlington linos, made a recent trip to New York and was surprised at the volume of business he saw being handled by the eastern lines. .On one three-track division of the Lack awanna he was told that tonnage trains were being moved so frequent ly that they averaged no more than one hour apart, a nd this In addition to the time freight and refrigerator freight service that had to be cared for on the same rails. Mr. Darrow said that for forty miles out of New York, sidings were filled with loaded cars and the ter minals In New York City were filled so that more business could not be taken care of. TO DISTRIBUTE-FREIGHT CARS MORE EVENLY The state railway commissioners held a conference last week with Burlington officials who have Imme diate charge of the distribution of empty freight cars. As a result It Is believed plans-were perfected for a complete cure of the many com plaints of discrimination In the dis tribution of cars as between stations. Chief Dispatcher Murloik of Wy more, Trainmaster J. C. GrlsslngBr of Lincoln, Car Distributor Horst of Lincoln and Car Distributor Clem ents of Wyniore were the Burlington men present. The charges of discrimination as between stations and the causes were discussed. Some stations have been getting too many empty box ears and other stations are unable to get any. It is said. It Is also stated that many cars are found bunched at the ends of divisions instead of being moved on to other divisions. The making of empty cars by unloading freight, has given some stations an excess of cars. It is stated the car distributors have fried to compel conductors to report when cars are empty so that such cars may be moved where they are moBt needed. This has In part failed, It U said, because conductors do not always report. Trainmaster Gruslnger at the f nnferenee said this was a matter of discipline that could be enlorced. As a result of the conference the Burlington will send weekly record reports to the state railway conimls s'on so .that the commissioners may know where cars are and how many can have been sent out of each of about 200 statins. These reports wJJl be exchanged between the differ rnt car distributors so that they will lave first-hand Information relating to the car situation. A central of fice man will thus know where cars are, how many are In trains, and the iifeds of stations and will be able to give cider- as to where cars shall be distrituttd. It is Btated that the l'.eavy t&pl of the officials higher up Is likely to swoop down upon agents who fall to report cars sent out from their stations. NEW MIGHT IJNeTn NORTHERN WYOMING Utrfalc, Wyo., Is no longer an "in land" town. It Is now the terminus of the Wyoming railway. A steam road is now operating between Buf falo and Clearmont, twenty-eight and one-half miles. The road fol lows the Clear creek valley from Clearmont, on the Burlington, to Buffalo. .Stationery of the Wyoming rall iobo and the official rallwayn guide Indicate that it is controlled largely by parties living In Cedar Rapids, la. William G. Downs of Cedar Itaplds Is president; H. P. Rothwell of Buffalo Is vice president; Isaac B. Smith of Cedar Rapids, la.. Is treas urer; Charles B. Duffy, Buffalo, Is general manager; and George G. Belt of Cedar Itaplds, la.. Is auditor. The road has been In operation for some time between Clearmont and Buffalo, Watt and Cedar Rapids. This road reaches out from the Burlington's Lihcoln-Billlngs line and will serve as a feeder for this line. Connections are now made at Clearmont with Burlington trains Nos. rll and 42, so that a passenger leaving Alliance at 4: IS a. m. will be at Buffalo, Wyo., at 6 p. m. the same day. The same connection Is made from the west also. While further construction ts not announced. It Is said that ultimate plans are to push farther to the southwest, reaching an oil produc ing region as well as passing through a good range country, PASSENGER TRAINS RUNNING HOURS LATE Passenger trains In and out of Al liance for some two weeks, and es pecially for the week before Christ mas, were running several hours late. One reason for the trains from Billings being late Is said to be that Burlington trains must watt there for Union Pacific trains, as the Bur lington makes up Its trains there, partially at least, from Union Pacific cars. Another reason assigned and particularly so for trains from the east, has been because of the vast quantities of parcel post mall han dled. At Omaha the depot platform was piled high with Christmas-going packages and the storage rooms were filled to the ceilings. This stuff all had to move on the trains and with a few minutes delay at each station, loading and unloading the packages. In a few hundred miles the delay naturally runs Into hours. MONTHLY SAFETY , MEETING HELD Burlington ' officials held the monthly safety meeting In Alliance Thursday, at which time plans were discussed for the protection of both employees and passengers.' The Al liance safety board Is comprised of a member from each department of the road's activities. Those elected go to make up what Is known as the safety board. Plans are heard and afterwards discussed with the idea in minc of reaching a greater efficiency in preventing accidents. J. L. Hughes was here from Seneca and attended the meeting In the morning with the members of the board liv ing here. NEW GENERALFOREMAN IN ALLIANCE SHOPS J. B. Irwin has been transferred from Edgemont and is now general foreman of the Alliance shops of the Burlington. He held a like position in the shops at Edgemont, S. D. Gen eral Foreman Irwin takes the place of A. G. Pierce, the latter feeling it necessary to resign because of kid ney trouble. Mr.' Pierce goes to Denver. He has been bothered with kidney trouble for some time. The Irwin family will arrive lri Alliance in a short time and will make tbelr home here. ROUNDHOUSE FOREMAN " IN LINCOLN HOSPITAL J. A. Holliett, roundhouse foreman at the Burlington roundhouse in Al liance, is reported to be recovering In a satisfactory way from an oper ation he recently underwent at Lin coln. At this writing he was still at the hospital In Lincoln. RUSH BUSINESS'ON SHERIDAN DIVISION Business has been exceptionally good on the Sheridan division of alte, in fact the rush has been so strong that additional engine men were needed to relieve , conditions. En gineers Wilborn, Trefncy and Burch ell were transferred from Alliance to the Sheridan division last week, their services bplng needed to help relieve tre rush condition. NEW nitllMlK l TUT IN PLACE The old steel fridge across the Missouri river between Omaha and Council Bluffs, which' end been In service for thirty years, was removed Saturday and replaced by the new bridge which had been built on the false work along the side of the old. The actual operation of removing the old bridge, which weighed 6,600,000 pounds, and putting In place the new, which weighed .11,200,000 pounds, required fifteen minutes, four and one-half seconds for the re moval of tho old, and ten and one half minutes to replace It with the new. Five hoisting engines, equip ped with block and tackle, were used. Officials said the work was an unusual engineering feat. The work of removal began at 11:10 o'clock In the morning, with 200 men, and was finished at 3:40 in the afternoon. Delay was occasioned by the breaking of lashings. An hour after the new bridge was in place, trains were running over it. This is the third bridge built across the Mis souri on the same site. A certain historical Interest attaches to the place, for It was here that pioneers first crossed the river In a flatboat. mm Clean cotton rags wanted at Th Herald office.
