M0FFAT ROAD SALE
REPORT OF DANGER UNFouhoEo
Syndicate Of Railroads to supply
Moner for Its Completion
Numerous Enterprises
Planned.

Denver, Jan. 2s.-The Republican
this morning says: When David H.
Moffat returns from the East within
brief time, it Is believed that he will
be able to announce extensions to the
Moffat Short Line which will be Of the
greatest possible advantage to Denver
and the whole state.
1t is stated on the most reliable au-
thority that Mr. Moffat has been en-
abled. through possession OF the gate
way to vast empire in the northwest
ern part of Colorado. the great Routt
county coal syndicate. headed by
George ]. Gould of the Denver & Rio
Grande and Missouri Pacific, and Ed
ward E. Hartman of the Union Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and Oregon
Short Line. and other great trunk rail
roads, will continue the work done by
him.
By this arrangement the Gould lines
will have a share in the Moffat line.
and the Denver & Rio Grande will cut
in at DotserO, Colorado. BY this ar
rangement the Denver & Rio Grande
will make a great saving of distance
between Denver and Salt Lake.
Mr.. Hartman has entered the field
and his interests, with those OF Mr..
Moffat and Mr.. Gould, for a particular
purpose. This is to open up the great
coal fields of Routt county. He will ex-
tend the Moffat road to the coal fields
and then build a connection to Granger.
Wyoming. with his Oregon Short Line,
using Colorado coal to supply Puget
Sound and the Orient.
The Importance of this combination
of interests to the coal fields Of Routt
county and to the entire state, cannot
be overestimated. If any doubt ever
existed as to whether the new road
would traverse the Routt fields as
whole, that would seem now to be dis
PEELED since the great roadbuilders OF
the country have pooled their inter
eSts.
An extension will also be built into
the Uintah reservation for gilsonite
and other ore. This territory Is also
rich and will prosper and flourish
when.it is entered by the railroad.
Mr.. Moffat has made arrangements
which leave the Moffat road from
Denver to its terminus at Salt Lake
absolutely independent and free for
the traffic Of all roads. The contract
specifically provides that the original
plans of the road shall be carried to
completion. This fact is adequate de-
nial Of the report published frequently
to the effect that Mr. Moffat would
have to sell his road. There has al
ways been plenty Of money available
for its needs.
BY the joint use of the Moffat road
through travel between Denver and the
coast will be greatly shortened and
freight hauls will be correspondingly
less. The transactions is one of the
greatest in the history OF American
railroads as it saves some 200 miles in
the midst of the Rocky mountains,
where road building reaches its sever
est test of engineering skill. While
various lines will be allowed to share
in the triumph over distance between
Denver and Salt Lake, they will not
be allowed to interfere with the COM
pletion of the road.
