The Denver Chamber OF Commerce
Working In Harmony with
Salt Lakers.

An executive meeting OF the chnm'
Der Of commerce railway COMMITTEES
was held yesterday afternoon, says the
Denver sun OF Saturday. The object
Of the meeting rs explained by ono Of
the members, was TO interest capital
and business men In \ direct line Of
railway from here to the coast.
II 10 expected that the commercial
bodies In Salt Lake City and San
Francisco will also assist In the
enterprise, rs the proposed line will
materially benefit q section Of country
through which It will run without
working detrimental to any other line
running 10 the coast.
One Of the plans that was taken
under discussion ut yesterdays meet
ing was that Of Captain Berthoud.
From here direct limo to Clear
Creek canyon would reach the main
range near Empire, whore q tunnel
5000 feet In length would place shclrond
ON the western side OF the range. BY
. series OF grades section OF country
would be trAversed which IL not COW
cred by any other line.
This uncovered territory 10 composed
Of coal fields, grazing and farm lands,
10 well Irrigated, and II Ia estimated
would give = good traffic TO the pro.
proposed line.
by the Bsrthoud route the distance
between Denver and Salt Lake City
would 30 shortened 2sO miles, with a
very little grading. the distance to q
number Of Colorado towns would also
be decreased.
= Tho interest displayed by the Denver
committee nj yesterdays meeting has
served 10 raise the spirits OF the
protectors. Halt Lake City has
already signifled her willingness
to raise 100000 for the build.

subject was mentioned, means the

The committee will confer with
