Story of the Burlington is a Part of West (Continued from Page 1) land grant of 600,000 acres. The railroad reached St. Joseph, Mo., in 1859 and Kansas City in 1870 and ultimately became a part of the C. B. & Q. railroad. In 18G9 a company was organized by parties connected with the C. B. & Q. to build a bridge over the Mis souri river at Plattsmouth and ex tend the road to Kearney, Nebr., to connect with the Union Pacific which was completed in 1872. This company built and bought numerous branches of the railroad in Nebraska and in 1880 consoli dated with the C. B. & Q. which had already acquired the Hannibal and St. Joseph road the line from Kan sas City to Omaha and from Burling ton to St. Louis and in 1882 it ex tended its line to Denver, Colorado; 1886 it built to St. Paul, Minnesota; 1894 it built to Billings," Montana. The Burlington is the product of 200 separate railroad companies. Many of them were just paper rail roads because of the lack of money. The Burlington company is in debted to Mr. John M. Forbes of Bos ton and his friends and his financial interests for assistance of eastern capital which they gave for a period of fifty years and to them the people of the west owe a debt of gratitude. In 1880 Charles E. Perkins was president. He had been in the com pany's service since 1859 and had risen through the promotion route to the presidency. Land Grants The statement is frequently made that the railroads of the country were largely built out of the proceeds of the "land grants," so that the roads jdid not actually cost the owners anything. In fact, the total value of .all the land grants to all the rail- roads in the United States at the I time the grants were made was less than one per cent of the present value jof the railroads. All the lands grant- less than two million dollars while the value of the railroad properties exceed twenty billion. How does opportunity arise for such misrepresentation? It arises from statements of the quality of the lands granted. The acreage was large but these statements conceal the quality of land the taxes paid and the expense of selling and they fail to state the large sums of money the land grant companies have re paid to the government. In the case of some of these grants these pay ments already amount to many times the value of the lands when granted. The government compelled all com panies that ever received a land grand large or small to carry all W PR in QUALITY MERCHANDISE COATS, MAYS, &E Are all included in this Special Stock Reduction event! We list but a few of the many Low Prices! government troops and munitions and other governmental property at one half regular tariffs. In many cases that amounts to more than the lands were .worth. The bulk of the land grants were in 1856 or earlier. In 1S7C. two years later, congress passed an act requiring all land grant roads to carry mails for 80 per cent of the regular rate established by law. The C. B. & Q. received in Iowa a grant of 358,000 acres, which could have been bought for $450,000. It has repaid the government in car riage of government property much more than $450,000 and the 20 per cent exaction from its mail pay amounted up to Jan. 1st, 1925, to $3,200,000 and this mail pay deduc tion is now going on at the rate of $190,000 a year. The C. B. & Q. is the best direct passenger line to Denver from Chi cago and St. Louis and therefore Is the best line to Rock Mountain Park, Estes Park and the scenic Rockies. It furnishes the only access to Yel lowstone National Park via the fa mous 90 mile Cody Road thru Buf falo county the six mile gorge of the Shoshone river and with its con nection with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific is the most direct route from Chicago, St. Louis, Kan aas City and Denver to Glacier Na tional Park and Yellowstone Na tional Park. GIVE A FINE PROGRAM Thursday afternoon the residents of the Nebraska Masonic Home were triven a very pleasant entertainment by a group of the young people of the community, it being one of a series of entertainments sponsored by the Eastern htar.
