The progress ON grading of the Mid
land Terminal railroad now indicates
that the rails will be laid to Cripple
Creek by April 1.
Roadmaster Selby, of the Rio Grande
Western, got one of his feet frozen in
the recent blizzard while busl1ing snow
between here and Ogden, and the
freeze" is a serious one.
The Gulf road will build a round
house at Trinidad, and do some of the
repairing there. Denver people are
up in arms against the project, but

Rio Grande will build a branch line

company and the Western Express
company have murged into one, and
will operate the gulf lines, instead of
the Pacific Express company, commence
ing April 1st. This will give the Wells
Fargo Co. an ir1road to Colorado bust
ness that they could not heretofore
obtain.
The clouds are thickening about that
ironelad Utah anti-pass agreement, and

the matter of violation. Twas ever
thus.
