THE breach between the Rio Grande and
the Rio Graude Western seems TO widen since
the recent decision rendered by the Utah
courts, and it now lookias If the rival parties
have ocked horns for death struggle. On
the ID Of the month, by order of the Rio
Graudc company. one mile of track was torn
up just east Of the State line, SO as 10 sever
the connection between the old company and
the Rio Grandc Western, thus shutting of all
communications with Utah and the Pacific
coast except by the cast. Grand Junction
will probably as long rs this state of affairs
lasts be the western terminus of the Denver
& Rio Grande. The Reservation ranchman
can be lookcr.on on these things and smile,
aud know they are for his benefit and mean
better price for all he can raise this year.
Had II not been for the damnable policy of
the old management Of the Rio Grandc of
throwing all the business in their power to
the Utah road, the settlers could have had
their surplus produce shipped out last fall at
u reasonable rate. As it was produce could
be shipped through to Gunnson and Lead.
willie from Salt Lake ut less rate than it
could be from Delta county, although we are
right st the door of the market. We hope
the days of the Rio Grande Western ana it's
