BEAVER VALLEY AND DENVER
The Burlington Files Articles of Incorporation in Two States
For An Important Extension
The Burlington railroad will connect
its St Francis Kas branch with the
main line to Denver in the near future
Articles of incorporation were filed
this morning with the secretary of state
of the Beaver Valley Denver Railroad
company by which the extension will be
built and operated The articles of in
corporation give a capital stock of 400
000
John F Vallery Charles W Water
man Elroy N Clark James E OCon
nor and Herman H Dunham are named
as the incorporators and directors The
articles further provide for the operation
of the road by the five directors mention
ed and an additional board of directors
to consist of George W Holdrege
Charles F Monderson W P Durkee
G W Loomis and H D Allee all Bur
lington officials
The route of the proposed road begins
at a point on the east boundary line of
Colorado thirteen miles north of the
south boundary of Yuma county and
extends north to the valley of the mid
dle fork of the Republican river fifteen
miles thence northeast across the
boundary line into and through Chey
enne county Kansas to a point on the
Kansas and Nebraska boundary line two
miles east of the northwest corner of the
state of Kansas thence northwest to cor
ner of the state of Kansas thence north
to the line of the C B Q railroad at
or near Sanborn Dundy county Ne
braska with a branch line from San
born to St Francis Kansas
Topeka Dec 8 HDAllee of Omaha
was at the state house yesterday and
made application for a charter for the
Beaver Valley Denver railroad This
road is to run from St Francis Kas to
Denver Colo
The officers of the company are G W
Holdrege president W P Durkee se
cretary H D Allee treasurer J F
Vallery assistant secretary All of the
officers live in Omaha except Mr Vallery
who is in Denver where the headquarters
of the road will be
Mr Allee said that it was a proposi
tion of the Burlington road and that it
was intended to extend the St Frnr cis
line to Denver in order to save the bck
haul
As the matter now stands he said
the Burlington has to ship all of the
produce it gets on the Kansas branches
east to get to the main line between
Kansas City and Denver By extending
the line the Kansas products can be
shipped direct to Denver and a great
saving can be made in time and in
money The northwestern part of
Kansas is developing so rapidly that a
direct lino to Denver is needed
