Denver.-This city is to have new
railroad connecting it direct with
Omaha, according to incorporation pa.
pers filed with the secretary of, state
yesterday, says the Republican OF
| Tuesday The new road is the Omaha
& Denver Short Line and is capitalized
at $12,000,000. 1t cost the projectors
$2,765 to file their papers.
1t was impossible yesterday to get
satisfactory explanation of what the
new organization means, for the rea.
| son that the men who know andars
authorized to speak are not in the cNH<
| The fact that the papers were preN
pared by the law firm of Rogers, Cuth.
| bert & Ellis of this city and that they
have long represented the owners OF
| the Colorado Eastern road naturally
turned attention in that direction, and
| the conclusion of those who have spec.
| 'ulated upon its probable meaning is
| that the filing has some connection
with the last-named road and its Ell
| forts to complete its trackage into ~
union depot.
Naturally speculation has turned
upon the probability and possibility OF
some one of the great trunk lines hav-
| ing secured the Colorado Eastern for
its terminal rights On the other hand,
if the actual intent of the incorporat-
ors is to begin building, it is but natu.
raj that curiosity should be aroused az
to why they are building in territory
oil rS11 tod ,n; al
are and their capacity to carry out
| these plans.
The articles of incorporation filed
| yesterday give the name of the new
company as the Omaha G. Denver
Short Line Railroad Company, and the
incorporation is for fifty years The
| capital stock is $12,OOO,00O, divided
| into $4,000 shares Of the value of 500
each The names of the incorporators
are Samuel F. Rathvon, Frederick r.
| Ross, Daniel B. Ellis, George A. H.
, Fraser and Percy Robinson of Denver.
| All of these excepting Mr.. Rathvon are
| members of the law firm of Rogers,
Cuthbert & Ellis or are employed by
| them, and are names used for the pur
| pose OF incorporation.
The names of the directors are given
| as Charles NJ. Allaire, Charles l.. Hor-
| ton and Clarence S. Devere of New
| York and d. B. Ellis and Percy Robi4S
son of Denver. The principal Offices
OF the company are to be located in
Denver, with branch offices in New
York City
| The route of the proposed road as
| outlined in the corporate papers Is
| northeast out of the city of Denver
through Denver, Adams, Washington
and Yuma counties, Colorado; through
Cheyenne. Rawlins, Decatur, Norton
| and Phillips counties, Kansas, thence
easterly and northeasterly to the Ne.
braska line, then through Harlan,
| Franklin, kearney, Adams, Clay, Fill.
more York, Seward, Lancaster, Sar.
pey, Saunders and Douglas counties,
| Nebraska.
Besides the business of a railroad
the company is incorporated to do
| other things such as own and operate
| quarries, mines, etc, giving it a broad
| basis.
1t would appear that the people back
of the proposed new road are in earn,
est. Their filing fee, as stated, for the
| $12000,0 900 capitalization, was $2,765,
which is possibly the best evidence of
their intentions.
| 1t is possible that one of the great
lines is using this corporation to get
into the city, among those mentioned
being the Chicago & Northwestern and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
