The Florence daily tribune., 1903-02-02


Attached herewith you will find
petition and letter addressed to the
mont county and relating to the pro-
posed Portland roadway.
Having been more intimately con
nected with the efforts to secure good
roadway to Portland and the eastern
part of Fremont county deem ia my
duty to advise the public of few
facts relating to said proposed road
way.
About four years ago the writer
came to the stat of Colorado for the
purpose OF establishing "a Portland
cement factory and after almost year
spent in research throughout the en-.
tire eastern slope of the state finally
selected the present site of Portland
as the best location in the state The
old ranch house soon gave way to the
hum of wheels and whistle and at
present the people of Fremont county
cannot help but appreciate the
transformation Of Portland after
spending hundreds of thousands of
capital. yet the same old Buffalo
trail winding over hills and gulches,
which is the only accessible route to
Florence. still remains the same with
no improvements or lettering. though
four years have passed by since the
county of Fremont was selected for
the one to produce the Portland cement
of the state.
Almost Immediately after selecting
the present site of Portland saw the
extreme need of "a good roadway to
Florence and at once approached Mr..
Gumaer TO lend his assistance towards
the securing of same. He WAS at that
extended through to the Hot Springs
road which is the very identical route
that we now ASK for and so expressed
himself to me at that time. asking my
co operation in securing the consent
of the county commissioners to have
said Third street extension opcued ms
now proposed. After going to the
county commissioners. who were all
strangers to me at that time, sue
ceeded III arranging u meeting which
took place in Mr.. Gumacr's office nt
commissioner. who was at that time
using penitentiary convicts on the road
between Canon City aud Florence was
also present and agreed TO transfer
his men at Gnce aud do tile grading
and building of roadway which wonld
have been /. great saving to the
county.
The commissioners unanimously
agreed to the opening of the roadway
and all seemed to indicate that no
trouble could prevent its speedy open
ing. When agreements were to be
signed then trouble was encountered
Mr.. Gumaer desired th,@commissionei-
to plant and irrigate trees and provide
fences on each side of roadway also
reiegate to him the perpetual aud ex
elusive rights for all telegraph aud
telephone lines, pipe lines, street rail |
ways and so many other reservations
that nothing WAS left 10 the county |
and the commissioners gave tile task
up AS hopeless and dropped further
negotiations. For TWO years after
that time | tried to appeal to the bet
ter sentiment of Mr.. Gumaer by rea.
son aud persuasion bat finally gave
the task up as hopeless and later
the petition was prepared aud with
the support of the county commits
sioBers and the many taxpayers and
inhabitants of eastern Fremont county
we begun legal and forcible action

no MORE LICENSES.
Distillers Wishing to Go to Asheville Night
as Well Stay Away.

Asheville, n. c., Oct. 9.-At meeting OF
Board of Aldermen tonight the policy OF
the board in granting licenses to distil-
leries was clearly defined, and it IS hardly
probable that any more licenses viii be
granted, in view Of the fact that licenses
to the number of SIX or seven have pre-
v%iorsly been granted and the further fact
that it is said a large number Of men are
preparing to move their dlstilleries here,
the matter was definitely determined
when an attorney asked for a license for
his client. The location was one that had
previously been designated by the board.
One alderman asked If it was discretion
cry or mandatory with the board. Tho
attorney considered that It vas simply
discretionary and the license was refused.
This act tonight Is generally construed
to mean that the board will not grant any
more distillery licenses.

New Fork. oct. 9-Bradstreets Viii TO
morrow say of the state Of tIade:
Trade conditions are stlll irregular.
Business is OF fair volume. but not So act

backward season, heavy rains interfering

atious labor troubles. past and present.
dlscouTaging building operations aad the
spread Of the conservative feeling among
buyers, based upon stock marked lquI-
dation and the feeling tina high prices
OF many products viii tend, If il has not

consumption.
MANY underlying conditions are, howev-
er, still favorable. First in importance
should be reckoned the decidedly letter
tone Of advices from the corn crop. which
has developed a larger yield and a better
quality than was earlier deemed possible.
SPECIAL inquiry by Bradstreets points to
a yield OF at least $3.50, GOO. 900 bushels Of
d grade generally far superior to that OF
a year ago. Lower prices for tins and
other cereals and for cotton, whose yield
will be smaller than seemed probable 4
month ago, seem likely to help our back
ward export trade in those products end
improve the foreign exchange outlook.
Collections, too, though backward, are
improving as the grain and cotton move
ments expand.
The best trade advices como from the
Southwest, notably at Kansas City and
St. Louis; from the Western sections,
such as Nebraska and Iowa, where corn is
turning out better than expected. from
the Pacific coast, where trade IS still IN
qualfiedly good, despite the sloWness OF
new wheat and other crops to move, anu
from portions of the South, as the MissisS
ippi Valley, where present prices fol cot
ton offer a good return for fair yields.
