IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Nebraska - Colorado- ■ Wyoming Im provement Association Favors Great Northern-Burlington Grouping As To Thedford Extension. The Nebriaska-Colorado - Wyoming Development and Improvement asso ciation will urge the interstate com merce commission to place the Great Northern and the Burlington railroads in the same group, that the extension of the Burlington railroad from O’Neill to Thedford may sooner be brought about. The O’Neill Chamber of Commerce also will favor the pro ject and both organizations will work to induce the railway commissions of Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Wy oming and Colorado to urge the inter state commerce commission to include the two railroads in the same group. This action was decided upon at a meeting of the association members and members of the Chamber of Com merce at the office of C. M. Daly Tues day night, at which Judge Barryman of Bassett, president and atttomey of the association, was the principal speaker. The plan of the two railroad compa nies, according to Judge Barryman, who recently interviewed Louis Hill and other prominent officers of the roads, at Minneapolis and St. Paul, is to extend the Great (Northern ..from Yankton bridge, to Plainview to con nect with the Burlington, to extend the Burlington from O^Neill to Thedford and from Mullen to Sidney, Nebraska, providing the two railroads are placed in the same grovrfp by the interstate commerce commission. A majority of the stock of the Burlington already is owned by the Great Northern, in fact that road and the Northern Pa cific, which also is controlled by Great Northern, own all but a very few shares of the common stock of the Burlington. An effort at present is being made to group the Burlington with the "Santa Fe, which grouping would do away with any possibility of the proposed extensions for manv years if at air. The extensions con templated by the reads would give al most a direct air line to the twin cities and Duluth from Denver, would open up to farming more than a million acres of Nebraska land now not fully developed and would bring the coal fields of southern Wyoming and Colorado much closer to northern Nebraska, materially lowering the price of fuel. Approval of the Great Northem Burungton projects was unanimously agreed upon and the association and the Chamber of Commerce will assist in the endeavor to have the two roads placed in the same group.
