The Utah road has sssssyed the line
direct through the reservations, and has
in its engineering department blue
print record of the whole line, the coun-
try $ topography and resources. In part,
these surveys tap the same country, in
places, as did the extensive surveys for
the Utah Central. made by John W.
Young some years ago in his almost
straight south Of east line, direct from
Park City to the White river in Colorado.
The value Of the Utah Central to the
Rio Grande Western, as we'll as the

therefore, readily be seen. They are

Short Line to Denver.

SnOrC Line I'd DenScrs
1t has just leaked out that the Rio
Grande Westerns proposed line up
Siovo canyon has q far more important
bearing than has generally been sup
posed. 1t is not solely for the silver at
Park City, nor the future wealth Of the
reservations that the line has been pro-
jected. To Ise the language OF rail
way official who is on the inside, 1t will
In time be tho Utah link In the shortest
line to Denver by several hundred miles.
The Provo canyon leads to the Duchesne
country by natural roate, but beyond
il lust as natural an outlet eastward. and
tbs Western = iiue would pass through
both of the reservations, cross Green
river midway between Ashley and Ouray,
thence along the White river into Colo
RADIO, where a connection could be
effected at any point on the Denver &
Rio Grande between Newcastle and
Dotsero, Glenwood being spoken Of as
the possible place.
But this is but part Of feasible
project that has long been favorite
plan of the Rio Grande Westerns ex-
ecutive officers, and is now being talked
of in Denver.
"a man unacquainted with the geog-
raphy of the country" rs John Sebas-
tian used to advertise in his folders, can,
by study of the map. CLEAN some
valuable information regarding the dis
tance that the Denver and Rio Grande
in Colorado alone can cut off its line be-
tween Leadville and Denver. 1t will
be seen that first Of all, Salt Lake trains
have to run due south from Denver to
Pueblo. 1t is 119.6 miles. Thence they
come via Salida, little north of west,
and from Salida north to Leadville, and
on to Grand Junction. The distance
from Denver to Leadville is 277 miles,
while the air line is but 100 miles. This
is on the broad-guage line. and is the
best road to the great camp. The reason
the road, in its first construction, did
not build direct to Leadville from Den
yer, was on account OF the mountains
between which were an insurmountable
barrier. In the days of its construction
the old narrow-guage line was consl-
dered the crowning achievement Of rail-
road engineering, but since then the
broad-guage has been built through
difficult country, and now the plan of
the company is to build short line from
Denver to Glenwood. There are severa!
ways to attain this end, by purchase, re-
construction and trackage privileges.
The first practicable route would be
via the old Colorado Central, now part
of the Denver e. Gulf road, from Den
yer west to Graymont, thence down the
Blue to the Grand, and thence to Glen
wood or the selected point of connection.
This would materially shorten the dis
tance. The Colorado Central is mar
row-guage line and would have to be
broad-guaged and reconstructed in
places.
Another possibility, though not very
practicable move, would be TO secure
the South Park line, change its location
to make across the Tennessee pass, and
follow don, .he Eagle river to tap the

Wheat, Silver, and Prices.


There are some close observers of the
trend of public opinion in the presiden-
tial campaign last year who express the
opinion that Mr.. Bryan would have been
successful but for the sudden and very
considerable rise in the price of wheat
in the month of October, without any
corresponding rise in the price of silver,
which, instead. fell off considerably.
Bat II the price relations of wheat and
sitser had any object lesson to convey
last autumn, the price phenomena of
thb present season should teach the les
81, still more significantly. The price
o&wheat went up steadily in August,
ss4,s'..7i. aoechsd an average figure higher
Ghan at any harvest period for a number
OF years preceding. Cash wheat was
worth dollar bushel in New York
when this paragraph was written. At
the same time, the price Of silver fell day
by day, until it had reached the lowest
point on record and after lingering for
a few days it gradually but inevitably
sagged still lower, with no prospect of
an early recovery, but on the contrary
with much prospect OF a steady further
decline. There is nothing whatever that
is mysterious about the advance in the
price of wheat, and nothing, on the
other hand, that should be hard to un-
derstand in the fall in the price of silver.
The two movements bear no Causative
relation to one another. Wheat has been
going up because the worlds 5 available
| supply, as compared with the worlds
elective demand, is relatively small this
year. AS we explained last month, the
European wheat crop is much scantier
than usual, while of those countries that
usually export wheat TO Europe the
| United States is the only one that has a
considerable surplus This is not nor
mai situation, but it is for the moment
fortunate one for our farmers. A
number of years ago, condition of the
worlds markets that in the nature of
things could not be permanent gave
American farmers high prices through
\ series of seasons for all the wheat they
could produce. The wheat growing dis
tricts of the West and the money-len-
ders of the East counted altogether too
much upon the continuance of those
high prices, and the West was doomed
on a basis OF fictitious values. The re-
action has been very serious. The
present recovery of prices should not be
made the occasion for new period Of
speculation. but it should be taken ad'
vantage of for the purpose of liquidat-
ing Indebtedness and making ready to
face low prices as the normal condition.
Meanwhile we should be thankful for
the present relief to the agricultural
community. even though it should last
for only season or tWo.-From 1.-The
