Chief Engineer Cowan of the Colo
RADIO & Southern. has returned from
an inspection of the work OH the Grip
canon. He says that the ground is so
frosty that the men are making slow
progress. He does not think it practi-
cable to do more than complete the
working surveys before spring. The
survey Is now complete for eight miles
up from South Platte station, and SO
far the construction presents no very
great difficulties. Rhodes Bros. remain
confident that they can prove in court
that the short line can be carried
around and above their reservoir site,
and to this end have surveyors in the
field running test lines.
Options on forty acres of land lying
on the hill back of the paper mills, to-
gether with several blocks in the plat
Of Manchester, have been secured for
the location of the works of the Den
yer Smelling Company. III. II. Joral-
man, who is at the head of the project,
is in New York securing money and
has reported progress that practically
assures the success of the undertaking.
This company some months ago Sc
cured an option on the old county poor
farm at $12O,OOO and 1t was later re-
ported that all negotiations In Denver
were of and that n site in Grand juno
tion world be accepted. Jarmuth &
Harrison have been carrying on the ne
gotiations for the property at Man
chester. The price of the site In South
Denver will be something in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. and the company
will have land not only for the works,
but for the homes of the workmen.
The religious scruples of Attorney
General ID. Nj. Campbell are inyulner-
able to the demands of common duties
of the position he holds in the state
government. 1t has developed that he
did not go to Rocky Ford last Sunday
with the governor to inspect the land
sought by the OXnard Beet Sugar Com
pany, as instructed by the land board.
The same scruples kept him nt home
last fall when several members of the
board visited lands in the vicinity of
Lamar, where the Great Plains Water
Company wanted 10000 acres of
school property. Mr.. Campbell will not
travel on Sunday and positively refuses
to perform any duties on the Lords
Day that can be accomplished at an
other time. These iunlke,s TO the bar
ren lands he holds in the light of du-
ties that Gun be performed on week
days as well ms on sunday, and as
long as the Sabbath is designated for
them he will remain at home.
