Denver, Aug. 31.-The News this
morning prints the following:
The Colorado & Northwestern rail-
way is to be extended to Salt Lake
City. The announcement is made by
Thomas II. Mann, who arrived from
Chicago yesterday, and Is guest OF
the Brown hotel. Mr.. Mann was called
to Chicago Monday by Colonel s. b.
Dick, one of the projectors and build
ers of the Colorado & Northwestern,
and who recently gained control of the
stock of that road.
Colonel Dick has arranged for the
construction OF new line across the
mountains, using the Colorado L.
Northwestern as basis. The route
will ultimately begin Mt Denver. thence
to Boulder, up the line Of the Colorado
& Northwestern for six miles to Girls
man, thence northwest, crossing the
main range into Middle park. The
line will then continue to Hot Springs,
across the range into Egeria park,
north to Steamboat Springs, west past
Hayden. Craig and Lay, across the
Little Snake river, up the Green and
almost directly west to Salt Lake City.
This is the route as projected, al-
though n closer recognizance may lead
to minor changes. A number Of the
mountain passes have been surveyed
and Colonel Dick, who Is the moving
spirit in the enterprise is in possession
of a large amount of information and
recorded data concerning the most
feasible routes. He has been studying
the subject for three years and n few
weeks ago came to Colorado and rode
on horseback several hundred miles in
order to gain an accurate idea of the
possibilities of mountain railroad con-
structiOn.
Mr.. Mann, who is manager of the
John A. Logan mine of Boulder coun-
ty, one of the best paying mines of the
county, is close personal friend of
Colonel Dick and is to represent the
colonel in the initiatory proceedings.
He desires to secure Mt once competent
engineers and will place them in the
field for the purpose Of making the pre-
liminary surveys. Engineering corps
will be sent into Middle park, as 1t is
desired to extend the line into the park
at the earliest day possible. Hot

DENVER TO SALT LAKE

boat Springs, in Routt county. are de.
sirable points which are to be reached
by the railway.
The new railway is TO be standard
gauge throughout and 1t Will be built
ms one of the important links Of a new
transcontinental system. 1t is init
mated that an understanding already
exists between Senator w. A. Clark and
the financiers behind the Northwest
ern enterprise by which the Clark road
from Southern California and the
Northwestern will form one system
from the Pacific coast. The distance
by rail from Denver to Salt Lake, 1t
is claimed, can be reduced 200 miles
by the proposed route. The distance
under present rail conditions is Cos
miles.
Colonel S. b. Dick is well known in
this state, especially in northern Colo
RADIO. He makes his home in Pennsyl-
vania, and was the protector and
builder of the Pittsburg Il Western
road, which he disposed of, making a
handsome fortune. He is n business
man Of large resources and ever since
the Northwestern road was completed
to Ward, in Boulder county, has been
desirous of continuing the line west
ward.
The Colorado & Northwestern, n mar
row gauge line, was built about five
years ago w. c. CulbertsOn Of Gil
rard, Pennsylvania, was the principal
/ stockholder and has virtually con-
trolled the policy of the road since it
was completed. The retirement of
Culbertson gave Colonel Dick the op-
portunity he had desired. Within six
ty days the road Is to have an entirely
new management, and vigorous poll
cy is to be inaugurated in the develop
ment of mining camps and in low
rates upon ore and supplies.
The road is now twenty-six miles
long. extending to Ward. A branch is
to be built to EldOra and the present
narrow-guage system will, later on, be
only n branch of the larger system,
which is to extend to the shore of Salt
lake Boulder will not be the head
quarters OF the larger enterprise, as it
| will be necessary to establish general
offices in this city. Whether the COM
pany will build n line OF Its own to
Denver or operate over the tracks Of
the Colorado Il Southern will be deter
! mined.

says:

A great scheme for the development
of the Grand valley and the western
slope will next week come to fruition.

a high line ditch forty miles long, and
a power plant to furnish power for the
entire valley. The project is consider
ed the most extensive and possessing
greater possibilities for the western
slope than anything yet suggested.
Cleveland capitalists have become in
terested and Mr.. Smith stated at the
Brown hotel last night that he would
return within thirty days with capital
and equipment and that construction
work will begin before October list on
n canal that will irrigate 2J.OOO acres OF
fine valley land. 1t assures revolu-

cherished plans is at last furnished

about $3.50, 900 to complete the work.
The plan includes the following,
An electric car line, forty miles long,
connecting Palisade. Grand Junction
and Fruita and doubling back over Its
own course.
A high line canal, forty miles long,

N.,r..x. Republican Nomination.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. @.-The Repub-
lican state convention yesterday noini-
mated this ticket:
Justice of the Supreme Court-Sam-
ucl Sedgwick of York county.
Regents of the University-Carl J.
Ernst of Lancaster, II. l.. Gould OF
Keith.
The action of Governor Savage in
paroling from the penitentiary former
State Treasurer Joseph II. Bartley FUR
nished, MS was expected, the only real
excitement of the convention. An ef-
fort to dispose of the vexed question of
an Endorsement or disapprovnl OF the
governors action outside the conven-
tion signally failed.
Supporters of the governor did sue
ceed in having all resolutions referred
to the committee on platform without
debate, but the committee itself report
ed in turn against the parole, and,
while not impugning the motives OF the
governor, demanded the return OF the
ex-treasurer to the penitentinry, anu
was sustained by the convention.

The next lot of Pittsburg pigeons TO
try the fly from Colorado to Pennsyl-
vania are to be released on the top or
Fixes peak at daybreak. The new
proposition was unfolded to G. NJ. Day
in "A letter received from A. Voellger,
secretary of the South Pittsburg HON.
ing Club. The birds that were releas-
cd in Denver five weeks ago last Sun
day have not been heard from, and the
PIttsburg owners have given up hopes
of ever hearing anything of them. The
birds released in 1900 made the fly
from Denver to Pittsburg in n little
more than twenty-one days. Those re-
leased from the roof of the Brown Pal
ace hotel this year have been out thir-
ty-nine days. By Sunday evening they
will have been out just twice the time
the others took to make the trip. Mr..
Grcb was the owner of the birds.
Having given them up, he will give
two other birds II chance to make
the trip. In the letter to c. NJ. Day,
Mr.. Voellger says that Mr.. Greb wishes
to have the birds released from the top
of Pixies peak. Mr.. Day is agreeable
and has telegraphed to Pittsburg to
send on the pigeons. Some morning he
will go up the cog road to see one OF
the beautiful sunrises to be seen from
the summit. AS the sun appears above
the horizon he will release the two
birds.
Another effort to break the long dis
tance flying record has failed. This
plan was of some Chicago fanciers.
'rhey sent half a dozen carriers to
place in Mexico, about the same dis
lance from Chicago That Denver Is
from Pittsburg. The birds were never
heard from after being released.-Den-
