THEY LIKE

a number of the towns in Northern
Colorado aud Western Nebraska rejoice
in Cheyonue's good fortune in securing
the location Oh the Union Pacific shops
at this point, as their business relations
with the town have always been pleasant
and the growth of this town simply
means a more extensive market for their
products. Among these towns Fort Col
Inns stands out quite prominently as a
place between which and this town the
most kindly relations have always existed.
That this good feeling is mutual is
strongly indicated by a writer in the last
issue of the Fort Collins Courier who
y
''Greeley gets the Burlington & Missouri
connecting line, Cheyenne gets the Union
Pacific car shops, and Burlington & Mis-
souri, repair shops, and Collins gets -.
The reader can fill the space to suit him
self.
I'VE are glad that Cheyenne gets the
shops. Anything which tends to advance
the interests of that town benefits Fort
Collins and the farmers and.gardeners Of
the Cache Ia Poudre valley, because
Cheyenne has been our principal market
for vegetables and other products. Her
business men are active, pushing, straight
forward and honest. They have always
paid the highest price in cash for every
thing they purchase. w should cult
waite a i%raternal feeling towards them, and
if our merchants and others could pur
chase their supplies of them instead of
buying in Denver it would be greatly to
the interests of both places for us so to do.
Were railroad communication opened
between the two cities it would facilitate
this end.
Cheyenne people are large consumers
Of everything we produce and by building
up that town and increasing its popula-
ton, we increase the demand for our pro-
ducts in the same ratio.
"A delegation Of Cheyenne and Collins
business men by waiting on the officials of
the Union Pacific might persuade the COM
pany TO open up the Colorado Central be-
tween the two points. Our large express
shipments could then go direct instead of
around the Horn. The freight rates are
so high and the arrival of goods so uncer-
tain that few shipments by freight are
made at any season.
"Of what benefit to Collins and the
farmers OF Larimer county has been our
trade with Denver Has it ever erected a
building here, or paid the interest on a
farm mortgage?
Our experience is that the business
men Of Denver are II selfish, ungrateful
set. They have fought this section of
the state steadily for years. All the spare
capital of the state is centercd there, busy
booming real estate, and very little of it
ever gets outside to aid any enterprise.
1t is a cold day when their newspapers
are not calling a convention for some pur-
pose"
Cheyenne has always regretted the
abandonment of the Colorado Central
quite as much as the Fort Collins people
have done. We do not believe that re.
lief will ever come now through the med.
ium of the Colorado Central, but we are
in a position to state that it will very pro.
baby come, and come suddenly, from ar
unexpected quarter. This tow would
like very much to have close railroad
communications with northern Colorado
towns like Collins, Longmont aud Boulder
and through this medium re-establisl
previously existing business relations. l
is a cousummation devoutly to be wishet
and We believe less than a years tim,
will bring 1t about.
