Kans And With Extensions in Wyoming Will Give the Burlington Direct Line From the Mines to Pueblo Smelters From The Denver Post Saturday The Burlington Railway company today incorporated the Denver Beaver Valley Railway company under the laws of Colorado for the purpose of extending its line to Pueblo from a point on its St Francis branch line in Kansas down the Republican river The branch will give the Burlington its own tracks from the iron mines of the Colorado Fuel Iron company near Guersney Wyo to the steel plant at Pueblo The Beaver Valley company will also build ioo miles of track from Oberlin Kan to Wray Colo to save a back haul on freight originating on the St Francis and Oberlin branches These branch lines extend southward from the main tracks The new trackage will connect both ends of the branch roads with the main line W W Baldwin of Des Moines Iowa assistant to the president of the Burlington has been in the city for the past few days having appeared before the Philosophical society Thursday night He originated the plans for the extensions Mr Baldwin is a capable railroad man and has the interests of Colorado at heart John F Vallery general agent of the Burlington in Den ver is the chief incorporator The other names appended to the charter are members of the law firm of Wolcott Vaile Waterman Mr Baldwin and Mr Vallery have been in conference with Mr Waterman for the past two days in con nection with the new charter THE KANSAS EXTENSION WILL CONNECT TWO BRANCH LINES The first work of the Beaver Valley company will be the building of the extension in Kansas to connect the two branch lines mentioned above Work will begin in the vicinity of Oberlin The new line will begin at that town and will run to Cedar Bluffs or a point near that station on the St Francis branch Another connection will then be built probably from Blakeman or Atwood on the St Francis branch to Wray or some point thereabout on the main line in Colorado This will give the Burlington a chance to relieve its main line on freight shipments from and to Denver When the main line becomes congested the company will be able to send freight from Wray Colo to Republican Neb over its new line The back haul will also tend to relieve the heavy burden of the single main line track and better time will be made by both passenger and freight trains to and from the east For many months the Burlington has been planning to relieve the traffic on the main line The idea of building the connections mentioned in the charter of the Denver Beaver Valley railway was hit upon by Mr Baldwin and met the hearty approval of his superiors PUEBLO EXTENSION WILL CAPTURE WYOMING ORE BUSINESS The extension to Pueblo will not be made until after the other work is completed Burlington surveyors have already run a line down the Republican river from St Francis Kans and an easy grade was located The cost of building the line will not be great Burlington officials say and it will pay the company to build to the Smelter City as it will in addition to capturing the ore business all the way from Wyoming get much of the eastern freight bound for Pueblo that now passes through Denver The announcement that the Burlington is going to build to Pueblo will probable stir the Union Pacific which was asked to build to Pueblo Maps and estimates of cost of constructing a line were recently submitted to officials of the Union Pacific by business men of Pueblo who did not dream that the Burlington had any intention of building south The Union Pacific has taken no action but if it follows its former policy will now jump in and try to prevent its rival from car Tying out its plans o RCNGpSMfeNMjfba 1 HERE IS NOTHING more acceptable for a Christmas gift than a pretty stylish fitting
