Ambitious Trinidad Enterprises.

Denver, May IA Trinidad dis
patch says: Eastern capital is con-
sidering project for the construction
of cog road up Fishers peak, much
on the same order as the one which
runs up Pixies peak from Manitou. A
local promoter has been in communi-
cation with the men interested in the
proposition.
1t IS said, however, that the proposed
scenic road is incidental to a gasoline
line that will take in all the towns sur
rounding Trinidad. 1t is hinted that
the capital necessary will come largely
from men connected with the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company.
If the scenic line is constructed
steps will be taken by the promoters
to advertise Trinidad as resort and
to bring tourists here during the sum-
mer. The Colorado & Southern is be-
lieved to be interested. a summer re-
sort to be at Catskill being part of
the scheme.

PRESIDENT At CHURCH
SERVICES AT A SCHOOL HOUSE.

After Listening to the Sermon Pres
dent Roosevelt Makes a Short
Speech and Shakes Hands with All
Present.
Glenwood Springs. April 3O.-Unique
in the history of Colorado was the
church service held at the old Blue
school house on the West Divide creek
today and attended by President
Roosevelt and his hunting party and
all the ranchmen and their families for
miles around. The little district school
building was not tenth part large
enough to accommodate the congrega-
tion and as result the organ was
moved to the platform in front. On
this platform seats were provided for
the President and his party. Tie Rev.
Horace Mann of Rifle, Colorado. who
preached the sermon, the choir and
the trustees of the church.
The members of the congregation
stood or sat on the ground, or in their
conveyances, which were grouped
around the building. The sermon by
the Rev. Mann was of an unusual kind.
1t began with story, teemed with
slang of the Western flavor, and was
full OF advice suited to congregation
luuTlnP llSell 10 the naruSnlpS OF
mountain life. 1t touched upon the re-
sponsiblities of the position of presl-
dent as well as the characteristics of
some of the men who have occupied
that exalted place.
After Rev. Mann had concluded the
President spoke about ten minutes.
He expressed his well known Views on
good citizenship. the morality of man,
DatriOtism and luty 10 the homo and
country. He was cheered heartily
heartily throughout his remarks. After
the services were concluded he shook
hands with every man, woman and
child present. The services at the
school house were begun at IL o'clock.
Long before that hour the ranchmen
and their families began to assemble.
Many persons drove or rode horse
back from New Castle. Rifle and other
towns from five to fifteen miles away.
The Presidents party presented pic
turesque appearance as 1t came up.
The members of 1t were on horseback
and dressed in hunting clothes. They
had no others at the camp. Many of
those in the congregation wore their
best. The dresses and hats of the
women were snowy and in striking
contrast to the mud-spattered tan
duck. blue jeans and other rough ma
terials making up the costumes of the
President and his fellow hunters.

Protesting Against Rate deduction


Atlanta, Ga-The recent PROPOSE
tion of ]. Pope Brown, Chairman OF
the Georgia Railroad commission, to
reduce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers: the Order
Of Railway Conductors, and unions OF
the blacksmiths, machinists and teieg
raphers, boilermakers, railway train
men. carpenters and joiners. clerks
and car men. These organizations en-
ployed an attorney especially to rep
resent them, who urged that such a
reduction would work against the
prosperity of the state and lead to a
reduction in the number of railroad
employees, as well as of their wages.
The Travellers Protective As Srciation
also protested that reduction. as
proposed, would result in fewer trains
and poorer service.
