Rapid Transportatio n

Is it possible that our boasted rap
id steam railroad transportation is
too slow for the present age and that
we will have to cast about for some
quicker of transportation? If
one will but look at the congested
condition of both freight and passen-
ger traffic on every road he will note
how much they lack of meeting the
demands of the travelling ard ship.
ping public. This reflection is
brought about by the announcement
of Mr.. Moffatt that the opening OF
his road to harmony Siding, which
will occur in a few days, will open up
Routt County and IA shipment OF
1000 cars of cattle and 1000 cars of
hay and grain will Immediately fol-
low.
Take our own little railroad as an
example. Before it came a stage line
and private teams supplied transpor-
tation for the dozen or SO passengers
between here and Walcott. Since
the S. d E.. has been completed to
this place it taxes the capacity of a
passenger car to carry the travelling
public between the two places. More
than that: Over a hundred cars of
freight for this place and Encamp-
ment were handled here in the first
thirty days after the road was com
pleted. That may not sound like
many, but when you think that we
had to depend on wagon transporta-
ton before that and that all the
wagon trains in the valley could not
have transported the contents of
those cars in 80 days II can realize
what it means
The fact is, the country is getting
a head of the railroads. No sooner
is a railroad built and IA new country
opened than the road is ia ed to it's
utmost to meet fhe demands of the
country. Sou.c quicker, better means
of transportation is sure to come out
of the present congested condition of
of railroad affairs.
