REPORT
THAT UNION PACIFIC DIRECTORS
HAVE APPROPRIATED MON
EY TO BUILD LINE.
Stated That Company Has Determined
Upon Branch from Main Line TO
Grand Encampment to Open Up
Immensely Rich Copper and Anth-
racite Coal Deposits.

The Cheyenne Leader of Sunday had
the following under a do~uble-column
head. Union Pacific To Build to Grand
ELcampment In Spring-Directors
Have Appropriated $4,000, 900 for
Branch to Open Immensely Rich Cop
per and Anthracite Deposits"
Grand Encampment is to have rail
read connections with the outside
world at last.
This does not mean thai the Lara
ME, Hahus Peak 4 Pacific road ulti-
mately will be built to the town, but
that a much larger and Weather cor
poratiun, the Union Pacific. is to build
through the great Southern Wyoming
mining district 1T once.
From an authoritative source is de-
rived the Information that the directors
of the Union Pacific. at a recent meet
ing. set aside 5000. 600 to be used for
the construction of a branch line
southwark from a point near Walcott
into Routt county. Colorado.
The plans drawn OF the branch show
that it will pass through he Grand
Encampmcnt country to Craig, Colo.
thence along Bear river for eight
miles. ending at Elkhorn, the center
of a district in which the greatest an
thracite coal deposits OF the west have
been discovered.
Surveys for the new line have been
made and approved. The survey to
Encampment was completed last year
and the route is staked and leveled for
the entire distance.
The approximate cost of the branch
is Sc, 300 900 and it Will be 1875 miles
in length. The plans have been drawn
in the Office of the division engineer.
1t is believed that the road can be
completed by the end of the present
year without difficulty.
The new line will draw an immense
amount of business from Carbon Coun'
ty. Wyo., and Routt county, Colo. The
great copper deposits of the two coun
ties can be developed on a paying bas
is with the transportation facilities
that it will afford. The Grand En-
campment and Battle districts will be
enabled to ship ores to Denver ant
other smelters at a reasonable freigh
rate and the Grand Encampmen
smelter can secure its coke at Il cos
that is not almost prohibitory, as il
the case at present.
Twelve mines have been opened OIL

CLASS
MAKING TALK REVIVED AND
PLAN SUGGESTED FOR
REHABILITATION.
Proposed to Secure Good Glass Man
With Some Money and Then Raise
Bonus to Enable Him to Compete
With Eastern Manufactures in Pro-
duction of Window Glass.

A well known business man of this
city, with plenty of money II fully
impressed with the Importance of the
subject. has proposed a plan for the
rehabilitation of the glass works here
which, if carried to contamination, he
believes will solve the problem and
get the plant in operation again on a
sound business basis. His plan is
practically to secure a good glass man,
one who fully understands the bust
hess and with enough money to place
the plant in w)rking shape, and then
at the end of each year hand him a
bonus of, say $1,000. to be subscribed
by the citizens OF the city. This bonus
will enable the anufacturer to pro
duce his glass at so small a cost as will
permit him to compete with the man
utacturers of the east and any com
bination that exists between them and
the railroad companies that any new
concerns will not be given the rates
they enjoy and are thus forced to com
pete at so close margins in the pay
ment of freight as to make the manu-
featuring of glass practically profitless.
The bonus proposed to be raised will
offset this and allow the local plant to
produce glass at a cost as low as the
Pittsburg and Indiana plants and pay
the high railroad rates. thus making a
market for the western Product.
So imbued with the idea is this gen
tleman that he is willing to subscribe
a hundred dollars a year to the bonus.
satisfied that if it does not come back
to him directly it vii! indirectly. and
with it many more dollars in the same
way. He contends that everything
needed is on hand here except cheap
freight rates. and that they can by off
set by the proposed bonus. Pay moth
ing in the way of bonus until the man
ufacturer has earned it and then hand
it to him in a lump. He would be that
much better off and be able to place
his product in the west. where it is
manufactured. and help the city that
much. In time the plant could be made
self sustaining and the bonuses cease.
The proposition is one that may be
considered and if it looks favorable,
an effort could be made to install it.
