AUTO ROUTE
The Uintah Reservation
To Be Entered By
Modern Means

L. A. Groves, the superintendent
of the Uintah railroad, is visitor
to the city today.
In line with what The Sentinel has
been advocating. Mr.. Groves makes
the very important announcement
that their company has purchased
three automobiles and will place
line of automobiles on their road
from Dragon, the end of their rail
line. to Fort Duehesne. This is not
a problematical move. for the auto
mobiles have already been ordered
and they viii be installed in their
work Immediately on their arrival.
Besides inaugurating an automo-
bile line into the heart of the Uin-
tab reservation the Uintah railway
company has built a road for their
automobile line which is as good as
money and labor can make it. They
have been working on this road for
several months and one can now
make the trip,or can shortly as soon
as the automobiles are installed.
from Grand Junction to Fort Du-
chesne without any discomfort what
ever.
The distance, as was stated in The
Sentinel a few days ago. from Drag
on. was slightly in error. The dis
lance to Fort Duchesne from Dragon,
the end of the railroad, is seventy
miles. instead of forty.
In speaking of their automobile
line, Mr.. Groves states that he ex-
poets to be able to cover the distance
from Mack On the line of the Rio
Grande Western road to Fort Du-
chesne in a day. This will make trav-
cling into the reservation easy.
1t is to be regretted that this city
could not have been made the point
of entry and filing on these lands.
but Vernal, Utah, has captured that
prize. There still remains the fact,
however, that we are the most direct
Iy in line OF travel to the reservation
and that this should be the outftting
point Vernal is right at the line of
the reservation and Grand Junction
should be the Quitting point for peo-
pie, as larger stores are here and

best informed politicians. his death

the Wolcott faction and Will result

His followers, who have stood on,
largely for his sake and his personal
ambitions. will now be ready to again
Join the ants in uniting the party
In the late campaign for governor
and during the contest that followed.
Wolcott was bitterly opposed to Pea
body ON account of what he said
was the latter's repeated insulting
treatment OF the former senator. His
following in both the senate and
house OF representatives in the pres
ent legislature were credited with
favoring Adams and their action will
now he awaited with much interest.
Wolcott's power as a politician
was due to his ability to organize and
the well known fact that he never
went back on pledges made to his
supporters, and to his eloquence as
an orator and TO his cleyerness. He
was always ready TO stand by
friend whom he could trust, and this
more than any other feature in his
career led to his success. One of the
best indications of his ability as an
orator were the accounts of his
speech as temporary chairman of the
national convention at Philadelphia
in 1900. The Philadelphia papers
the next day declared that the speech
was one of the finest oratorical ef-
forts that had ever been heard in
that city and they united in pro-
Wolcott the silver-tongued
orator of the age. This, coming from
Philadelphia, so 10th to
give credit to the offspring of the
west, and a town where the fore
most orators of the world had spo-
ken, was considered the greatest COM
pliment that Wolcott could receive.
In the United States senate he also
won for himself place as a wonder
full speaker. His diction was of the
purest. direct and always applicable
and his power of voice and personal
were the distinguishing
features of his speech.
Up to three years ago, when Vol
colt and his wife separated. he re
sided in his magnificent mansion at
Wolhurst, just outside of Denver
Since then he spent much of his
time in Washington and other parts
of the east. returning to Denver only
at times. Last year Wolhurst was
sold and Wolcott declared that he
had quit Colorado for good.
His brother Henry Wolcott, of
WoIcott & Vale. prominent law
firm of Denver, is known as capi-
talist who is interested in many of
the states largest enterprises. His
sister, Miss Anna Wolcott, is princi-
pal of the Wolcott school for girls
in Denver, one of the best known
and most select institutions of the
kind in the state.

This leaves twelve members for Pea

Governor Peabody has the great
