MAY 16, ROADS ADD GREAT MILEAGE Burlington Alone Will Make 60,000 Miles Monthly by New Trains. VITAL BENEFIT TO GATE CITY Changes in Time Tables and Train Extensions Will Become Effec- tive Twenty-Third and Be of Help to Omaha. Sixty thousand miles per month of new traing will be added by the Burlington to its lines west of the Missourl river when the time changes of May 2 are made, and all these will accrue to the immense ad- vantage of Omaba. The Busisgton is not alone in making radical changes, for the Rock Island has added a new Chicago-Denver train, the Northwestern has put on a large amount of new service in Nebraska, including an- other train to the northwest and another to Bonesteel. The Unlon Pacific has also added new trains and made changes which will go into effect Sunday. Omaha will derive immense benefit from all these changes which make it much more convenient for people living In the ‘west to come to Omaha and also to reach their homes. Many of the new trains will give those visiting Omaha a chance to do thelr shopping In the afternoon, attend a theater and return home the same evening. New territory will be ppened by the changes. The Burlington's new train ser- vice from Omaha to Beattle over the Great Northern via the new line from Billings t0 Great Falls will open up a vast new territory and put Omaha on an equal foot- ing with 8t. Paul for the business. Omaha is /placed on a geographical parity with 8t. Paul for the commerce of & most ex- tensive territory. Bquip Twenty-six Trains, To make all these changes the Bur- lington has been compelled to stop twenty- six complete trains at a great expense to equip them with electric light fixtures, This meant that over 20 cars have been equipped with electric lights and other im- portant improvements made. This im- proved and extended service into the north- west is but a declaration of the Hill policy to hitch up the southwest and the north- west In the most direct way. Another train pf great importance to Omaha Is the new night train to Denver which the people have been clamoring for for & long time. Heretofore the people living along the Burlington west of Lin- coln had to leave Omaba at 4:10 p. m. or remain all night. The local travel will be carried to Lincoln on a new train which leaves Omaha at 7:25 p. m. Local trains No. 3 and 40 have been eXtended Tfrom Broken Bow as far as Scneca and a new train will leave Omaha daily at 12:30 noon for Plattsmouth and Paclfic Junction. New local mileage also has been added between McCook and Wray. ‘Western Nebraska will be benefited by the new Chicago-Denver train, as it gives a daylight fast train to the west. No. 1 will leave Lincoin for the west at 7:2% a. m. and will be a valuable train for travel west from Lincoln. i All these chaiges have beegdmade to ac- commodate the greatly Incr®%ed summer travel. All western roads are looking for a big travel to the Seattle exposition this summer, as well as to the Rocky woun- tains, and all have prepared ecarly to get thelr proportion of the business. The Illinols Central announces that it will change the time of its fast Omaha- Chicago train Sunday to conform to the new schedule on the Unlon Pacific, which has advanced the westbound Overland Limited one hour. The fast Illinols Cen- tral traln No. 1 will, after Sunday, leave Chicago at 5 p. m. instead of 6 p. m., and will arrive in Omaha an hour earlier. Seger to Succeed Young. When Erastus Young, general for the Harriman lines, is retired next month because of the age limit, some radical changes may be made In ius de- partment. C. B. Seger, now general audi- tor of the Southern Pacific, s slated to take his place, and it is thought the office of general auditor of the Harriman lines may be moved to Chicago. It is the Harri man policy to have the general officers of his system In Chicago or New York. The heads of the operating and traffic de- partments are now In Chicago, and the hiead of the legal department in New York. If that change Is made, it will mean the moving of quite a number of clerks from Omaha to Chicago. The Northwestern has made the follow- Ing changes, effective May 2: A new local train leaves Omaha dally at 25 p. m. instead of 3 p. m., arriving at Norfolk at 7:3 p. m., making all stops, and connecting at Fremont for Hastings, Lincoln and Superior braneh lines. The Black Hills-Wyoming express No. & leaves Omaha at 3:36 p. m. Instead of 3 p. m., stopping only at Fremont between Omaha and Norfolk, and arriving at Dead- Wwood same as at present. No. 6 leaves Deadwood at 6:30 p. m. in- stead of § p. m., arriving at Omaha at 5:2 auditor P. m. as at present, with Hastings, Lincoln | and Superior branch™line connections. The Wyoming train leaves Lander at ¢ a. m, taking on a sleeper at Chadron at 6:20 p. m., arriving at Omaha at 11:10 a. m, A Nebraska local train leaves Long Pine at 12:30 p. m., connecting at Norfolk with train from the Rosebud country and arrives &t Omaha at 10:30 p. m. Baracas Try tor Big Convention Classes of Three Cities Want to Get National Meeting for Omaha Next Year. A combined effort Is being made by members of the Baraca classes in the two Omahas and in Councll Bluffs to bring the national Baraca convention to Omaha in 1910. The Commercial club has offered any assistance possible and a class meeting has been called for TuesdAy evening at the Young Men's Christian Asscciation bullding for the purpose of perfecting plans and appointing delegates to this year's convention, who will put forth thelr best efforts to get the convention for Omaha next year. Close to 3,000 delegates attend the na- tional copventions of the Baraca classes, and if the convention could be brought to Omaha it would be a big thing for this clty. Work has been golng on quietly for & couple of months and members in the three cities believe they will be able to land the big convention for Omaha next year.
