WILL NOT INVADE
SHORT LINE TERRITORY.

According to the latest Seventeenth
street story in Denver the recent pur-
chase of the Cripple Creek line is part
of a plan of the Rock Island for push
ing westward to Utah, penetrating
this state near Moab, and thence to the
coast, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Such a line is possible. but not prob
able, and the Rock Island, tied up as it
is on all sides, is not in a position to
build this line. Neither will it carry
out its plan to invade Short Line terri
tory via the projected Denver, Wyo.
ming and Boise road recently incorpor-
ated.
The Cripple Creek deal is more
properly a Colorado Southern link than
a Rock Island proposition.
