siastic in regard to the value and
prospects of the farming land in AL
bany county, saying that from his
own personal experience. and that of

land in this vicinity will return 20 per
cent upon an investment of 500 an
acre.

BUILD
!. THE CUTOFF
WORK TO BE RESUMED WITHOUT
DELAY ON NEW LINE AROUND
CHEYENNE FOR U. p.
Buffalo Gap Contractors at Cheyenne
to Arrange for Resumption Of the
Work on Grade Discontinued Last
Autumn-ogden Shops to Resume
Business on Full Time.

F. L. and H. M. Sprague of Buffalo
Gap, S. d., are in Cheyenne today and
bring the first news of the intention
Of the Union Pacific to resume at an
early date the construction Of the
Athol cutoff which will reduce the dis,
lance as well as the grade between
Cheyenne and Denver.
The Messrs. Sprague are contractors
and were some time ago awarded a
contract for a large part of the grad
ing on the line of the new cut-off.
They have recently been advised to
have their men, teams and machinery
on the ground ready to begin work
when so instructed.
They Immediately came to Cheyenne
and are now camped outside of the
city awaiting the orders to begin work
which are expected shortly.
Will Spend Summer at Camp.
Mr.. F. l.. Sprague is accompanied
by his wife and while in the city to,
day said that they expected to make
the camp their home during the sum-
mer.
The contract upon which the
Spragues are to work is expected to
occupy from thirty to sixty days. The
Fitzpatrick Brothers also have a con-
tract for the grading of a part of the
cutoff.
The cutoff is for the purpose Of
shortening the distance between Chey-
enne and Denver and will also reduce
the grade to a considerable extent, as
1t will avoid the Athol hill.
Gain in Handling Freight.
An eve greater gain will be made
in the hauling of freight to Denver
from the west and from Denver to
points west of Cheyenne. the cutoff
joins the main line in the form of a
huge Y, the right hand arm running
toward Cheyenne, while the other
joins the main line some miles west.
When this >line is completed, trains
for the south, and from the south to
the coast will not pass through Chey-
enne at all.
The trains between Denver and
Cheyenne will enter and leave this
city by the new route to the westward,
and will not go east as at present.
