Railroad Right Of Way.

The survey of the Colorado &
Gulf railroad has about been made
through the valley and the question
of right of way now comes to the
front. Mr.. G. +. Mcconnell, of
Durango, is now in the county to
ascertain the attitude of the prop
erty owners and people generally
toward this question. A meeting
of the citizens of this end Of the
valley has been arranged to be held
in Aztec Saturday afternoon, Aug
ust 81, for the purpose of discussing
the matter. Mr.. Mcconnell will
doubtless be present at the meeting
and will voice the wishes of the
company and explain what it is
desired to accomplish. A sugges-
tiOn has been made that three COM
missioners be appointed in each Of
the three divisions of the valley, to
have in charge the securing of right
of way. This matter and others
will be decided at the meeting,
Every ranchman whose land is on
the line ofsurvey should be present.
Everybody is invited.
A meeting of the citizens Of the
lower end Of the valley will be held
for the same purpose at Pennington
on Friday afternoon, August 30.

distance there are nine fifteen degree

so sharp. This is the worst piece Of
