About the Short. Line.

1t is claimed that the Denver & Rio
Grande are not likely to complete the
cutoff line from Somerset to Marble
until they complete their Western
building. This is unfortunate and it
might be possible that they would con-
sent to its building by other people, if
enough enterprise and willingness were
shown. The road ought to be built.
The development of great coal fields
depends upon it and shipping business
of all kinds would hurry to its track.
The greatest drawback which the COM
pany may see would be in shorter
haul and consequently smaller earnings
by its building, but it should also be
remembered that the completion of
this road would develop enough new
business to support it and make it q
paying lire.
