Denver, June 14-No recent article
upon Colorado has attracted more at
tention than the one here quoted, writ
ten by Thomas TOnge and published In
the United States Investor. Mr.. Tonge
says:
In northwestern Colorado and north
eastern Utah is a territory exceeding
In area the combined areas of Vermont,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island. Connecticut, Delaware and
New Jersey, which have combined
population of 100000. Such territory
northwest of Denver also exceeds the
area of Pennsylvania. which has a pop
ulation of over 6,OO0OOO, but sur9asses
that state in the variety and import
ance Of its natural resources.
This vast area in northwestern Colo.
RADIO and northwestern Utah is as yet
without a single mile of railroad, and
as consequence has only a population
of about 10000 With the advent Of
railroad connection and the resulting
ordinary development Of its natural re-
sources, this territory is capable of
well maintaining. and is inevitably des-
tined to have. within a comparatively
limited number of years, population
OF at least 100000. There is probably
area in the whole of the United States
without railroad.
The Denver Northwestern 4 Pacific
Railroad Company has been organized
by David ii. Moffat and associates of
Denver and will build a railroad
through such virgin territory from
Denver TO Salt Lake, for "A distance of
approximately 800 miles, being 235
miles less than by the Denver 4 Rio
Grande railroad between Denver and
Salt Lake. reducing the present time
Of. travel required by the Rio Grande
route between the two cities by nj

and thence westward. The proposed
route for almost the entire distance Is
more than 100 miles north of the par
allel least and west Denver & Rio

the year 1901, fOur-fifths of the freight
traffic on the North Atlantic came
from this country. that three-fourths

There is no better agricultural section
in Colorado than the zone of the new

amount of cultivated land is as yet
limited. In other parts of Colorado.

It is estimated that not to exceed one per
cent. has been taken up by settlers,
and the remaining ninety-nine per
cent is still open for settlement. The
same condition of affairs exists as to
mineral lands.
1t is estimated by the leading lumber
firms in Denver that the new railroad
can depend on an annual freight busi-
ness of 11.OO cars of lumber, the sup
ply accessible from existing Colorado
railroads being nearly exhausted. This
will accentuate and perpetuate Denver
as a lumber center.

Mecker troubles. the Utes were COM
PEELED TO abandon their reservation
and remove TO Utah treaty was
made under which the Utes We're TO

GianS Sl.2J per acre for the lands as
fast as entered. This provision now
has been enacted for the former Ute
lands in Colorado. and the government
will pay the Indians for the lands
taken under the homestead law.
While settlers can still enter lands
under the pre-emption law, if they SO
desire. they have the benefits of the
homestead act in addition. The GER
tain result will be rush of settlers
to the western slope, where there are
thousands of acres of fine aCricultu-

abundant supplies of water. open to

state. Western Colorado possesses
the resources and the attractions for

will secure them.

Portland Man Left Yesterday
 for There.

w. H. Adams, who, after six years in Alaska, has been spending the winter In Portland, has me north and Is bound for the headwaters of the Koyukuk, where he has some mining Interests which are thought to be valuable. His faithful dog team. which has also been passing the winter in Portland, came with him. lt consists of two huge black Russian blood hounds, gaunt and bony, one weighing 100 pounds and the other Iso pounds, and stout collie dog for a leader to set the pace tor the others. Mr. Adlms arrived on the last Dolphin and left yesterday morning for White Horse, where he will hitch up his team and load his tobOggan with 500 pounds, and start for a clean 1000 mile journey over the lee and snow.
 He will go through Dawson and 400 miles down the Yukon. and then across a range of mountains and down to the heid- waters of the Kovukuk, only Go miles from Point Barrow. He expects 10 be 50 days on the trip. What glorious trip to think of, or 10 dream of, when one Is softly and warmly eouehed, and will wake to find breakfast or the table and everything springllke around him, but, from the mak- ing of such a journey, most people will pray, Good Lord, deliver us." Mr. Adams puts hls trust In his team to "pull him through" .and siv the big dogs are very powerful and true, and his collie sur passes as a leader the native kusl les.

There is no suitable public land in the vicinity which can be occupied for the purpose; and should congress authorize the purchase of the tract of land needed, the department Is provided with frnes with which to erect suitable and comfort able quarters. But the purchase of the needed land Is something which requires congressional action.
 There is no doubt that garrison will te required at Skagway for many vears' There |. also no doubt that eeoncmv would prompt the building of suitable banieks, rather than the payment of large rent for quarters which are inadequate and uncom- fotable.
