Not word has been heard from ID.
C. Willoughby, the railroad promot-
er, by the Chamber of Commerce or
by anybody else in the city for that
matter. His promise to bring a party
of capitalists to the city several
weeks ago has not been kept and he
has given no notice to the Chamber
of Commerce at to why he and these
capitalists did not show up. The peo-
Pile have been gradually losing faith
in the proposition and there is now
hardly any probability that the Colo
RADIO and Southwestern railroad, as
promoted and proposed by ID. C. VIII
| loughby, will be constructed. Many
people believe, however. that before
great while the proposition of a
! road from this city to the Paradox,
Sinbad and LaSals country will be
taken up by reliable people and put
| through as there is no question as to
the feasibility of a railroad into that
rich section, so replete with remark
able possibilities and resources.
From all accounts no efforts are now
being made by Willoughby's crowd
to complete the survey from Grand
junction to the Paradox country. 1t
seems that if Mr.. Willoughby had
meant business he would have at
least kept the local Chamber of Com
merce in touch with the movement
during the past four weeks.
