In its immediate application, is the
question Of freight facrities-of rap
Id transportation and certain deliver
es- within a reasonable time. This
question the association, through its
freight committee. will take up at
once with the railroads and other
transportation companies. The gen.
erOus purpose TO assist Washington
in this movement for business expan-
sion has already been manifested by
the railroads; they will be asked now
to reduce their promises TO actual and
concrete results. The jobber here and
the retailer in Washington's territory
will both profit when this consum-
nation, so devoutly wished for. is
actually accomplished.
Under the general auspices Of the
association and the direction of a spe-
cial committee, a campaign of public
ity will be carried on. The ad-
vantages the city offers are to be
brought prominently before the peo-
pie of the whole country. The jobber
in search of a location; the retailer
in search of place where he can buy
his stock of goods to the greatest ad-
vantage; the manufacturer seeking a
central and favorably situated place
for his plant, will all have their at
tention directed to Washington.
Doing the Possible.
For these things the association
stands. 1t has no belief, Of course,
that the whole situation IS to be
changed in a night and every lost op-
portunity retrieved. 1t does not think
that within a month or a year Wash
ington is TO become the first iobbing

Electric Road Along Cherry.

Last weeks Douglas County Record
contained the following relating TO a pro
posed electric railway which would tap
the West Cherry creek country, 10 or u
miles west of Ebert:
ID. K. Williams was over from Cherry
last week to see the county commission
ers II regard to getting a franchise for
an electric railroad to run on the high
ways of Douglas county. Mr. Williams
informs us that not only was the fran
chise granted in Douglas county, but he
also received like franchises from Arap-
ahoe and FL Paso counties.
The principal movers in this new en-
terprise are ID. r. Williams of Cherry, e..
M. Blaire of Denver and DR.. Kessinger
OF st. Joseph, Mo-, and the road will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible.
We are indeed glad to see these gem
tlcmen making this good move in the
right direction for Douglas county GER
tainly needs just this sort of an enter
prise and being headed by such men as
Mr.. Williams we need have no fear that
il is simply hot air scheme to be sold
out to some railroad. for Mr.. Williams is
not that kind Of a man. He has realized
.fss many years that his part of the coun-
ty needed railroad and now he is to be
in position to fill long felt want.
The road will be built along Cherry
creek, touching at Franktown, Case and
Cherry, which will give these towns di-
rect and cheap communication with the
outside world 1t will bring new capital
into the county, increase the price of
land and generally be of great good to
the county.
We want to congratulate Mr.. Williams
and his associates upon this enterprise.
