\ CHURCH TROUBLE.
For some time past there has been

THE FORT COLLINS O

A. T. Gilkerson one of the contract
ors of the Fort Collins road was in
Walden yesterday on business. He re-
ports the work on the road progressing
and thinks that ere the snow
flies we will have a fine highway on
which the trip to Collins can be made
in two days.
He thinks it will not be long until
a good deal of the park trade will go to
Collins. He says the steepest up grade
going to Collins will not be over ~ per
cen and the hardest pull this way will
not come over 10 per cent. According
to Mr.. Gilkerson's figures the distance
from Walden to Fort Collins, via the
Ute pass, through which the new road
is being constructed, is not over 80
miles.-North Park Union.

teams and purchasing the necessary
machinery and supplies to go to work.
The dimensions of the ditch are
something like Is miles in length, 10
feet wide at the top, 6 feet wide at the
bottom and 8 feet deep. This will carry
an immense amount Of water to one of
the richest placer grounds in the State
of Colorado.
The contract awarded to MI. Norrell
calls for the completion of the ditch
by December first. next. unless the
weather interferes with work. To
build the ditch it will be necessary to
put on a force of 200 men and so teams.

miles Of steel piping to force the water
from one hill to another. The piping
will cross the county road between
