RIO oRANDe PLANS EXTENSION.
Millions to Be Expended in Improving
Colorado's Scenic Iron Highway.

The $6O.OO0.OOO TO be reserved
out of the $15O,OOO,O0O issue OF
new Denver & Rio Grande bonds
for extension under the new
mortgage to be executed at an
early date is to be used in cover
ing Colorado with a network of
new tracks and building a north
and south line which will extend
from FL Paso. Texas, to the Union
Pacific connection in Wyoming.
The new charter of the company
provides for these extensions and
shows that the company is pre-
pairing to enter upon gigantic
scheme of delopment of the re-
sources of this state.
E. H. Hartman. in telegraphic
advices from the east, states that
he is to Join in the new construc-
ton in the west as soon as. the H.
nancial condition warrants it, and
the indications point to Colorado
being on the eve of big railroad
building boom as soon as the II
nancial skies clear SO that the
money can be secured.
Among the projects which the
Denver & Rio Grande has in
view for the future are the exten-
sion of its Santa Fe line south
through Albuquerque 10 Ell Paso,
Texas; the construction of cut
off from a point south of Denver
to a point on the Colorado Mid
land. the construction of cutoff
from DotseIo. near Glenwood
Springs. to KremmeIing on the
Moffat road: the building of a
new line from Puebio to Cripple
Creek. the building of a line from
Rifle, through Mecker and Routt
County to a Union Pacific con-
nection in Wyoming. and other
cutoffs and connections aggregat-
ing over 1000 miles of new
track.
The cutoff between Denver and
the west will start at Acequia. in
Douglass county. and go in a
southwest direction up the valley
of the South Platte river and con-
meet with the Colorado Midland
in the vicinity of Lake George, in
Park county. The distance is
fifty miles and will cut Colorado
Springs and Pueblo out of short
route from Denver to Leadville.
The line from Pueblo to Cripple
Creek will either start at the first
named place and go up Turkey
creek tor a distance of fifty miles
or will start at a point on the
main line between Pueblo and
Salida near the mouth of Beaver
creek. in Fremont county. where
a route thirty miles long can
be secured.
Another connection to be built
is. from a point near Tennessee
pass, following Mitchell creek to
the northeast extremity of Pando
park and then along the Eagle
river to Red Cliff. This branch
will be about twcnty-four miles
long. From Dotsero, in Eagle
county. the company will build
northwest through the valley and
the canon of the Grand river to
Kremmling. in Grand county, a
distance Of sixty miles. That
route will connect the Rio Grande
and the Moffat roads and will cut
off over 200 miles in the distance
between Denver and Salt Lake
City.
Another branch is to be built
from APPOINT near New Castle. in

ible point on this line across the
Sangre de Cristo range by Sand
hill pass to the company's line in
the San Luis valley, a distance of
fifty three miles.
Frisco in Summit county, will
be connected with Breckenridge
by line ten miles long. A line
will also start from Dillon, in
Summit county, and go up the
Snake river to its source, a dis
tance of fifteen miles. Another
line will be built from Dillon
down the valley of the Blue river
to a junction of the Grand river,
then up Muddy creek. through
North park and along the North
Platte to the boundary line. dis
-tance of IT'S miles.
FROM THE JUNCTION OF
ROCK CREEK WITH THE
ROARING FORK, IN GAR
FIELD COUNTY. PROVI-
SIONS ARE MADE FOR A
LINE THAT WILL RUN UP
THE NORTH FORK TO
SOMERSET A DISTANCE OF
FIFTY MILES. A line will
start at Aspen. in Pitkin county.
and run south through Taylor
park to a junction with the
East river near Almont, a dis
tance of sixty miles. The line
from Pueblo to Walsenburg will
be about sixty miles long. An
other line projected is from
point near Apishapa, in Las Ami
mas county, TO Dawson, N. NJ,
distance of ninety miles. This
line will open direct connection
with the big coal and coke prop
critics of the ST. LOUIS, Rocky
Mountain and Pacific, which Is
said to be closely allied with the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
A branch is contemplated from
Salida. southwest to point near
Marshall pass and Sargent. in
Saguache county. This branch
will be seventy-fve miles long

BUILT BETWEEN CRYSTAL
CREEK. IN MONTROSE
COUNTY TO A POINT NEAR
AUSTIN. IN DELTA COUNTY.
A DISTANCE OF FORTY

tance of 120 miles This line will
run southeast from Alamosa down

A SOLDIER AND HIS WIFE.


When the republic called for de-
tenders OF her unity David X. Ward
well answered the call. For gallant
and distinguished service In the bat
tie of Gaines Mills, with one or
Massachusetts, regiments, he was
promoted by the governor Of that
state.
At the end OF the civil war he en-
tered the Mexican army OF liberation
served In the campaigns that over
threw Maximlllan and monarchy.
made his home In Mexico, and final
ly retired from Its army with the
rank OF lieutenant colonel and the
brevet OF brlgadier general.
In Mexico David X. Wardwell met
and married Isabella Cole She had
followed to Mexico an adyenturously
wandering brother who had con-
tracted the dreadful disease of lep-
rosy and cared for him during his
last years IL was hoped that she
had not contracted the disease and
for many years she and her soldier
husband lived happily. But the hope
was vain. After years the slow but
unmistakable signs Of the plague
appeared. The couple had mean
while removed to California.
Four weeks ago Isabella Wardwell
since he would not consent TO her
going alone TO places provided for
those afflicted as was she. And she
came to Los Angeles, accused her
self as leper to the police, and was
sent TO the leprosy ward of the coun-
ty hospital The husband followed
and sought to share her fate, but
under the law this could not be, since
he showed no signs of the malady.
An open window and note on It's
sill in the Los Angeles county hos
pital the other morning showed
what was David K Wardwells solu-
ton OF the dilemma. He had taken
his wife and had fled with her 10
Mexico, there in some wilderness re-
treat to be with her to the end. And
the public authorities are unfeigned-
ly glad AS one of them said:
"She is the mans wife; he wishes
to care for her and die with her like
man and soldier"
The case of Isabella Wardwell pre-
sented question which only one
man on earth could answer rightly
That was the man who had sworn
at the altar years before:
81, David, take thee, Isabella, to be
my welded wife, to have and to hold
from this day forward, for better for
worse, for richer for poorer, in sick
ness and In health, to love and to
cherish till death us do part"
And every person who reads the
tale should be glad, and think bet
ter of mankind, because David K.
Wardwell answered that question as
he did, like a loyal man and good
soldler.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

choice Of a Rrlar Plpe.

A collegian who prides himself on
the sweetness and color of his briar-
wood pipes and pretends to know a
lot more about them than any ordi-
nary smoker spent half an hour in
a tobacco shop recently making an
addition to his already large collec-
tion.
Some pipes he discarded because OF
the grain in the wood; there was
too much stripe or too much birds
eye, he remarked. Wfon he found
one which suited him he pat IL aside
until he had gathered three or four
which apparently we're all right, and
then came his final test to pick out
the best of them all.
He held each with the bowl to-
ward the light, then slowly rubbed
his little finger inside. Two he dis
carded, then repeated the operation
with the others until only one re-
mained out OF the discard. That one
he bought
Want 'em smooth inside" he ex-
planned "A briar pipe roughly fin
ished inside the bowl isn't worth

right and it'll never be nice and

I've got theory that when the
inside of the bowl Is rough all the
little edges and points of the wood
char and burn the first time you
smoke It, and burnt pipe is no
good. That's why | always take
pipe that has bowl as smooth on
the inside as on the out.
Then IL doesn't char but cakes up
evenly and gets good In a little
time. Maybe the theory is wrong.
