western Il Pacific will be made public
early next week. A conference will be
held between Mr.. Moffat. Syl. I. Smith,
president of the Colorado Utah Con-
strnction company; William Il. Evans.
General Manager Ridgway and Chief
Engineer Sumner. The routes surveyed
will be gone over carefully and II per-
manent route will be selected and pub
lished.
This is considered the most important
announcement to he made by the com
papy. Thousands of investors and land
seekers are awaiting definite state
ment of the route before going into the
country to be traversed by the road.
The publication of the route. it il be-
lieved, val res,ilt in big influx OF peo-
pile i.ito the country.
II IS probable that with the publication
of the, route will come the announce
ment of the division headquarters of the
road. as As-ll rs some of the towns to be
started by the company. This will en-
able iomeseekers. settlers and investors
to locate witt, the certain knowledge
that they will be on the line OF the road.
This announcement will he following
out Mr.. Moffat's idea of having the
country along the road settled when the
road is finished; that is, the road may
begin with an earning capacity instead
of taking several years for the country
to settle. thus providing revenue ms is
generally the case with new railroad.
1t is expected that this winter will wit
ness big rush of people into the coun-
try. and in all probability several towns
will be started at once.
General Manager Ridgway has dfcid-
ed that a switchback over the mountains
is unnecessary. and so it will be a
grade for use until the tunnels arc fin
ished. The principal work this winter
will I've in the mountains III drilling tun-
neis and blasting. A special rate will
be made on low-grade ores so that new
mines can be opened and ship to Denver
on Il proiit.-Denver Post.
No Democratic editor is able to speak
higher words of praise for the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor than the
following from the pen of Col. l. N.
Stevens. editor Of the Colorado Springs
Gazette and manager Of the Republican
SaSte Literary Bureau: Judge Stimson
,ts4n sospe respects the strongest sali,si-
.tsasasrhe Democrats could select for the
position OF governor. He Gus developed
great strength in Teller and FL PasO
counties, and his personal character and
his clean record of nearly twenty years
in this state commend him to the re-
spect of all his fellow citizens irrespec-
tive of politics. If the next governor of
the state is to be a Democrat. Il better
man could not he chosen than Judge
Stmson. We are glad to see the Demo-
Gratis nominating good men. with whom
the interests of the state will be safe if
they are elected"
The Salida Mail well says: 1.-The Re-
publicans of Colorado are today con-
demning Mr.. Teller for doing the very
thing they solicited and even compelled
him to do in 1896. and the thing they
say they still believe in. Nearly all Re-
publicans of Colorado are today bemet-
alists. How many Republicans are
there in this state who would not shout
at the news that law had been passed
for the coinage of the two metals ut Il
ratio of IG to /? 1t can safely be said
that there are not a thousand. Then
why all this fight against Mr.. Teller!'
The impudent falsehood that trusts
and monopoIies cheaper products and
benefit the consumer is dsproved by the
fact that the price Of commodities con
trolled by these monsters has been arbi-
trariiy increased for no cause except to
paw dividends on fictitious capital by
methods that make larceny respecta-
