Henry K. Byram. Burlington vlco pres
ident In chnrgo of operation, was In
Omaha a few minutes yesterday, after
ahlch lift went to Lincoln. From there
he will go to St. Joseph.
Relative to hl.i short visit here at this
time. Vice President Byram said:
"1 have been In all winter and nm Just
making a short trip over some of the
Burlington lines. 1 came In over the
Ashland cut-off and after going down to
Lincoln will return to Chicago by way
of ."t. Joseph.
"As to business, little can be raid cx
rnt that U Is not particularly good and
J enn sec no reason for Any great Im
provement during tho next sixty days
er until there Is reasonable certainty
that there Is going to be a good crop
throughout Die agricultural sections. If
there Is a fair crop or a bumper crop,
as wo hope, that fact ought to start up
tho Industries, loosen up money and
start things to moving ngnln.
Looks Like II Ik Held.
Through Iowa and in tho portion of
Nebraska, the Missouri and Elk horn val
leys from Sioux City to Omaha, the win
ter wheat looks flno and gives promise
of an abundant yield. But this time of
rnr you can, hardly tell what, the har
vest will be."
Asked what Improvements the Ilurllng
ton contemplates In this section of tho
central west, Vlco President Iiyram re
plied: "There Is no prospect of any raljroad
1'lilldlnK this year so far "as the Burling
ton Is concerned, aside from that pro
vldAl for heretofore. Funds for the con
struction of the Chalco-Yutan rut-off and
the completion of tho Powder Illvcr line
from Casper to Orfn Junction have here
tofore been provided -for arid this work
will be done this season,
"Within a. very short time we will let
the. contract for grading the cut-off from
Chalco to Yutati xon the Ashland-Bloux
City line. Tho work on this will b
pushed along aa rapidly as possible.
"On the Powder ltlvcr lino from Casper
to Orln Junction work Is progressing- rap
Idly, both on tho grade and tho bridges.
The track men will follow along as fast
n the grade Is finished."
At Sioux City Vlco President Byrnm
-was met by General Manager Holdrege
of Omaha and General Superintendent
Allen, both of whom accompanied him
here.
Auto Olub Dashes
Cold Water on Race
Track for Omaha
The Omaha Auto club throw cold water
on the enthusiasm of W. It. Green, who
appeared before them at their meeting
to boost for the inauguration ot a big
automobile racing stunt In Omaha.
Green ramo back from a trip through
California full of eathbalasm for auto
mobile racing. He saw some races at
l,os Angeles. He was sum such an event
In Omaha would be a good thing to ad
vertise the city. The Auto club 'agreed
with him, but members held that It would
cost between 13,000 and $50,000 a year
to handle tho affair. "And If wo can
raise that much money readily," said
Itandall Brown, "we feel there arc so
many other things we want here that
the automobile races fall Into the back
ground."
fc'o tho club did not oven appoint n com
muter to look Into tho matter. Tho club
told Mr. Green the proposition would be
"considered."
Miss H, Medlar Is
Brought to Omaha
Miss Henrietta Medlar, trAo was seri
ously hurt when thrown from a Pullman
berth by the lurphlng of the car on her
return trip to Ilockford college, has been
brough back to her home, 3327 Harney
street, by her father, Irvln A. Medlar.
When he reached his daughter's bedside
Wednesday, he found! that early reports
ot her Injuries had been exaggerated. It
Is not yet known whether a bone In
tho young woman's spine was rcatlly
broken, and she Is not partially par
alyzed,, ns Mr. Medlar was flr.it advised.
She suffers considerable pain from the
njury to her back, however and will
prouaoiy on some nmo in recovering,
nn X-ray photograph ot her spine may
ba taken. Sho was resting easily thU
afternoon.
