No section of country througout
the entire west needs capital to
develop its great resources, as does
western Colorado, and yet capital
does not always receive the most
cordial welcome. There are, al>
most without doubt, underlying
oil sands, big copper and iron de-
posits and numerous other valuable
resources, needing capital to de>
veloP them. If we do nothing else
for the next three months, let US
determine to present a different and
more inviting front to capital than
we have hitherto shown. 1t is our
salvation, and the sooner recog-
nized the sooner tidal wave OF
business activity will develop.

hoped for project, it is Mr.. Cox.
But neither he or anyone else can
secure capital for such great
enterprise if people who ought to
know better, "shoot off" their hair
trigger jaw work in opposition
thereto. A united sentiment in
support of Mr.. Cox, even though
he fail, should animate everyone.
