The executives of the Salt
Lake road are now contemplate
ing new route over which to
build proposed branch to the
Grand Canyon 1t was origin
ally the intention to run a spur
from a point south of Caliente
to the canyon, distance Of
thirty-fve miles, says the Los
Angeles Herald.
The new plans are to build
from point southwest of Mil
ford. Utah, in a southeasterlv
direction to point near Lees
Ferry, thirty miles north of the
point where the Santa Fe
touches the canyon.
This route will be between
seventy-five and a hundred
miles long, but it will reach
better part of the canyon from
scenic point of view than the
shorter line. Not only this but
it will touch a mining district
in Utah that has been success
fully prospected for some time
but has not been opened up on
account of the lack Of transpor-
tation facilities.
The Santa Fe does not antici-
pate any noticeable decrease in
their Grand Canyon business
when the Salt Lake branch is
completed. One of the higher
passenger officials said last
week that it was his opinion
that the Salt Lake would do a
good business but that the traf-
tic to the canyon would be in
creased on account of the differ
ent points from which the two
roads get their passengers.

RAILROAD NOTES

DIS Tue SHOW uGIlS III IIC tuOuHl-
aims sufficiently to admit men
and materials being transport
ed over hills and gulChes work
will be resumed upon the Colo
RADIO & Arizona Railroad, the
connecting link between the
Southern and Union Pacific
branches of the Hartman sys-
TEN which will meet and form 4
union at Pueblo.
At the time when heavy
SHOWS compelled cessasion Of
work surveying parties we're at
work both to the southwest and
the northeast of Durango. while
south of Pennington the actual
work of construction was under
way. The engineers of the
southern end of the Colorado &
Arizona have practically com
pleted their work and there re-
mains little to do excepting to
set the grade stakes for a short
distance near Durango.
It is the intention of the man
agement Of the road to hasten
construction between the main
line of the Southern Pacific and
the coal fields lying between
Durango and Pennington in or
der that the fuel may be avail
able for use along the main line
as speedily as possible, and in
the meantime the engineering
corps will push the work of
finding a good pathway across
the hills to the eastern outlet of
the road The engineers are
satisfied that but little difficulty
will be experienced in finding a
feasible route which will let
them down into the plains re-
gion southwest of Pueblo, and
they are of the opinion that no
great problems OF railway con-
struCtiOn Will be encountered,
the grades being as easy as
could possibly be expected
when it is remembered that the
continental divide must be sur
mounted.
There is every reason to ex-
pected that by the time that
the rails of the Colorado & Ari-
zona come creeping over the
foothills and plains of south

no, an eastern connection with
the Kansas Pacific branch of

The GROUNDING NOT PLEASED
Six Weeks of Winter Assured by
Departure.

Americus people who watched anx-
iously Friday for the grounding and
his weather flag went away and bought
more coal when they saw him scoot in
to his hole again IN fright at bis
shadow. The tradition in connection
with him is that he comes out of his
burrow on the second day of February
and takes look about him. II the
weather is cold and cloudy he remains
out because he knows that the winter
is about over, but If the day is bright
and sunny. so that he can see his
shadow, he goes back into his hole to
remain SIX weeks longer, knowing that
much cold is yet to come This is in
accordance with the old belief that
bright, pleasant weather about tie
first of February is untimely, and that
it means that the backbone of winter
is not yet broken. The ground hog
only follows and carries out the old bts
lief, so, tso the day was bright and 70 4
we may conclude that the coal man will
continue to do business with us for
some weeks yet.
