TO
BUILD LINE
SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT CON-
cERNING PROPOSED LINE
FROM HERE TO COLLINS.
Right of Way Agent Says Company Is
Going to Do Business, but There Is
Absolutely Nothing More That
Can Be Said Now-conceded That
Line Is a Feeder.

A group of officials, stockholders
and prospective stockholders of the
Denver, Laramie and Northwestern
railway were in this city Thursday and
made a trip out into the country for
the purpose of looking over the pro-
posed route of the line, says the Fort
Collins Express. In the party were
S. M. Nevius, Judge John D. Milliken
of Denver, John H. McNail of Hall
stead, Kas., P. j. Gale of Mcpherson,
Kas., John S. Van Cleve of Wichita,
Kas., and Henry Hempel.
Reaching Important Stage.
That the affairs of the company are
reaching an important stage is evi,
denced by admissions by officials and
it is fully expected that some definite
construction operation may be expect
ed within the next sixty days. Mr.,
Nevius, who has to a large extent been
the most important factor in the secur-
ing of land and rights of way for the
company, refused absolutely to make
any statements whatever in regard to
the company's operations except to say
that there would be something doing
within a short time.
Going to Do Business.
He said: Don't you worry about
us not doing something in a very short
time, for we are going to do business,
but there is nothing, absolutely moth
ing that can be said just now"
1t is generally conceded in railroad
circles that the line from Denver to
Laramie, which is now projected and
is known as the Denver, Laramie and
Northwestern Is simply a feeder and
minor issue and that back Of this op
Grafton there is a huge railroad and
industrial scheme which promises tc
be one Of the biggest things that have
ever been undertaken il the west.

Early Opening of Fishing Season.

According to Potomac fishermen the indi-
cations are that the shad and herring
fishing season on the river will open early
this spring. Shad and herring were re
ceived from Florida waters early la the
season, and in shipment of fish received
from North Carolina point by dealer
at the fish wharf yesterday We're two buck
shad. These bucks were as large as have
been the roes from Florida. and were in
excellent condition. They were sold to an
uptown dealer at fancy price.
1t is stated that one shad has already
this year been taken in net the Poto-
mac. AS yet the catch in the south has
been light, and il is asserted that when
the catch is light in the south it is never
large in the Potomac fishing season. " hich
follows the Florida and the later season
In the Carolinas. The receipts of herring
from southern waters have been fairly large
ana they have brought good price.
The fishermen who engage in winter fish
ing who came home 10 spend the Christ
mas holidays. did not. return down the
river after Christmas in consequence of the
freeze. They still in port here wait
ing to see how the winter will be before
they go down the river and take chances
of being caught in a February freeze.
