Of the many Important transactions In
connection with the Uurllngton system ,
either past or contemplated , that of the
Hoard of Directors on Thursday In deciding
to raise $16,000,000 with which to purchase
leased lines and new equipment easily tnkcs
the lend In the eyed of the local ofllclnls of
the company.Vbllo one of the lines to bo
bought Is the Kcoktik & Western , n trans
action nlilch has been mentioned already ,
the decision to purchase outright the Chicago
cage , Hurllngton & Northern comes as
something of n surprlso to those not on the
Inaldo of the company' ! ) management ,
The Chicago , IJurllngton & northern Is
now listed u > t a part of the Burlington sys
tem , opoialcd under n lease. It extends
from Oregon , 111. , to St. Paul and Minne
apolis , with ft small branch to the south ,
covering about 400 miles. George 11. Har
ris , second vice president of the Durllngton
nyfttom , Is president of this road , and It
has made up the Uurllngton's line between
Chicago and St. I'aul. In the direct pur
chase of the road the IJurllngton will ob
viate all the uncertainties connected with a
lease In this ago of keen competition among
the largo railroad companies.
In addition to providing for the purchaio
of the two roads mentioned $5,000,000 of ths
money to bo raised Is to ho expended on
now equipment for the system.
In raising the money necessary to carry
out the plans of the directors a now method
is adopted. Instead of authorizing an Issue
of now bonds , as has been customary ivlth
most roads , and placing them upon the open
market , the directors will go to the stock
holders of the company and ask for ? 10,000-
000 In cash. In return for the cash the
Btockboldors will be given $16,000,000 In new
3Vi per cent bonds , secured by a mortgage
on the lines of the Durltngton cast of the
Mississippi , and as a bonus for so doing ,
the stockholders advancing the money , will
lx > Issued $4.000,000 of now stock In the enlarged -
largod corporation. In other -words , the
corporation will pay Interest to Itself instead
of to outsiders.
ConnolliliiMon flic 1'olluy.
In speaking of these transactions a Bur
lington olllclnl eald : "Tho decision of the
Hoard of Directors of our road signifies two
things to me. One Is that this is a period
of big transactions.
Beginning with the pur
chase of the Union Pacific property from the &
government , when spot cash was virtually
paid , amounting to way up In the millions ,
followed by the consolidation of a part of
the Vanderbllt lines , the negotiations for the
purchase outright of the Alton , the purchase
by the MlflBourl Pacific of the Central branch
lines In Kansas , negotiations for the ab
sorption by the Union Pacific of the Oregon
Bbort Line , the arrangement by the Central
Pacific to pay Its enormous debt to the
government , and the possible consolidation
of that line with the Southern Pacific , and
now the direct buying of the Chicago , Bur-
llmrton & Northern by the Burlington sys
tem. It has been one succession of big deals
in railway property. Probably at no period
in the history of railroading or in the his
tory of the government could such tremendous
deus transactions have -been - successfully
carried out. At no other time could such
enormous quantities of money have been
raised for such purposes , and that It Is se
cured nt such low rates of Interest is evidence -
donco that It is no longer being hoarded F.
and that there Is an abundance of cash lu
the country. $
"Another thing which Is brought to my
tnlnd by these transactions is that there
is a tendency nowadays for the railroad ton
companies to como from under the disguises
l > y which they operate alleged Independent
ilnofl. These sub-lines will be absorbed by
the main corporation , as the Burlington Is
now engaged In doing with the two roads
mentioned , and they will , bo operated under
one central management. In the near future - the
ture , I predict , that whether the equipment
is in Chicago , Kansas City , Omaha , Denver In
or St. Paul It will tic 'Burlington,1 and all
the Initials and insignia of the branch llnea In
will be obliterated. The same rule will ap for
ply to all the 'big ' lines east and west and
the uninitiated traveler will no longer bo
confused by the complimentary terms ex
pressed on his ticket 'via so nnd so' to
reach hie destination , when In truth it is
all the same system of road. "

CITY DEPARTMENT REPORTS
Mnyor Iloprn tlmt Fnmln Will He Pro-
vltled for Publication of
IIOCtllUCIltN.
There acorns to bo considerable probabil
Ity that the same sort of a fight will occur
this year over the publishing of the annual
reports of city ofllcers as there was last
year As a result of the latter Dght , which
originated In a deslro to keep the cost within
certain limits , the city departments were
apportioned a certain number of pages In
the book 1 and the reports wcro cut down and
mutilated to the required size. The publt-
catlo was so unsatisfactory that but com-
paratlvely few copies of the book -were sent
out of i the city.
"I nm free to confess that although Uioro
wore many requests for our reports from
exposition visitors , J gave away but three
copit , " says Mayor Moores. "They had
been so cut down that they -wore Inaccurate ,
Incomplete and unsatisfactory , and gave n
bad Impression to ono who examined thorn.
I hope the council will appropriate enough
money this year to print the reports In full. "
Some of the members of the council who
wore Instrumental In keeping the size of the
levy down , however , are likely to fight an
appropriation sufficiently largo to pay for the
publication of all the reports.
