Visit Saratoga on inspection tour The
Proposition to build into this valley
has become fixed

Vice President and General
Manager A. l.. Mohler of the
Union Pacific, accompanied by
Chef Engineer X. l.. Huntiy and
l.. b. Merriam. arrived here Mon
day in a special rig on a tour of
inspection. When they left Wal
colt it was their intention to have
prolonged their stay and visit
Encampment and other points
south of here, but Mr. Mohler was
taken with a violent cold and il
became necessary for the party to
return to Walcott, where they had
two special cars, in order that Mr..
Mohler might receive treatment.
While here the proposed con.
struction of Il branch line up this
valley was discussed among them.
selves. Mr.. Mohler and party
drove up over the line of survey
from Wolcott to this place and
Mohler expressed himself as very
much pleased with the route and
with the country. He would give
out nothing for publication, but
the inference was allowed to go
out that the company would
build the line at once, extending
it on over into Routt county to
connect with the Motfatt line at
some point near Steamboat
Springs.

Year 1906.

Of Survey from Fort Collins up Cache la
Poudre River-Proposed Line Will
Come Down Douglas Creek.

Time and again it has been as
serted that the Burlington is the
power behind the Saratoga & En-
campment road, but, up to this
writing, only the men who are be-
hind the enterprise really know
who are the men who are furnish
ing the sinews of war.
The Burlington has had several
parties of surveyors in the field in
Wyoming territory for the past
six months, and their movements
have been of the most absorbing
interest. Yet no one has been
able to figure out Just where that
company Intends to ron its line.
There have been three parties of
surveyors between Fit. Collins and
BoswelI's, at the head of the Big
Laramie. From Mr.. Boswell it is
learned that these men have been
making his ranch their head
quarters during the past summer
and that they will remain there
until next March. Mr.. Boswell
is authority for the statement that
the burlingtons line ONE up
from Fit. Collins and runs within
six miles of Hermosa, (Tie Sid
ing,) on the opposite side of the
valley from the Union Pacific.
From there the line swings in
West, along Fish creek, crosses
the range at Mountain Home,
down Beaver creek to Douglas
and down Douglas to the North
Platte river. From this it is eve
ident that the Burlington is head
ling for the Saratoga valley. In
fact this is what the surveyors say
who are doing the work.

new feature into the instruction.
Prof. Brown has written to differ

them if they cared to send SAM
pies of their text books for the
normal library. These books are
catalogued and placed in the H.
brary, and are examined by the
normal students under direction.
The book firms have responded
generously. By this means the
students are enabled to find out
what books are on the market, and
when they come to teach will be
able to make n wise selection of
text books for the schools.
Mr.. w. FL. Reed. the curator of
the museum, is putting into shape
the fossils during the summer.
Among the most important of the
new specimens are : ichthyo-
