Approval was given last night by the

valuable rights already secured give
assurance of ultimate success.
Will Benefit Denver.
1.-THE exploiting of the immense and
wonderful natural of the
state Of Wyoming and the great North

the possibility of an air line to a Pa

great benefit of our city and open up

this project and ask the material sup
