Western Slope Statehood.

President S. J. De Ian, of the Glen
wood Springs Board of Trade. prophe-
sizes separate statehood some day for
the Wesrern Slope. In recent speech
in Grand junction Mr.. De Ian said:
Il tell you the western slope is a
little empire by itself. No financial
llurries can ever hurt her and some of
these days we will make her a separate
state such as West Virginia, and North
and South Dakota.
"Colorado's products and particular
ly those of the western slope are ne
cessities of life and they will have to
come to US for these necessities. That s
why the western slope will stand solid
and prosperous against anything"

paragraphs the statement says:
