ITS REMARKABLE SUCCESS DE
SCRIBED BY PRESIDENT OF
COLORADO PRISON AS
SOClATION.
MAKING ROADS AND men
PRISONERS WORK WITHOUT
GUARDS, AND STATE GETS
GOOD ROADS FOR NOTHING.

Denver-H. V. Johnson, president
of the Colorado Prison Association
and former mayor of Denver, in an
article published this month in The
Good Roads, magazine issued in
New York, compares the excellent
merit system of working prisoners in
this state to the horrors of the con.
vict leasing system in Georgia and
other southern states. Colorado and
Georgia authorities are both working
to the same end, that of having con.
victs construct their state highways.
Both states are gaining the end sought
but Georgia roads are being paid for,
it is said, in the blood money of tor
tured men and women, while Colo
rado roads are the product of sys.
TEN that improves the minds and NOR
ais of its prisoners, according to
Judge Johnson
In his article, President Johnson
says in part:
Read some of the examples of days
and nights of horror in the prison
camps of Georgia, as attested by the
Atlanta Constitution and other daily
newspapers. The Georgia prisoners
are leased out to contractors who
build the roads. These men are SUBJ
jected to a slavery worse than that
of the black man could ever have
been. Men are lashed by the whip
ping boss until they fall to the ground
and there they are left to die of their
injuries. A boy of sixteen was beaten
to death because he was too weak to
work. An old negro, sick and ex-
hausted, was tortured to death in the
fields because he failed to perform his
allotted labor.
1T is different in Colorado. This
state will have fine roads. Her con-
victs are building them and they are
doing it under a man who is both a
practical business man and humani-
tartan. l speak of Warden John Cleg-
horn. He selected ninety prisoners
from the nine hundred who volun-
teered and these are now camped
along the mountain trail where
the side. These men work with
out guards, ard they only work
eight hours each day. In the evening
they enjoy themselves at various
kinds of games. The state gets no
direct revenue out of them, but it is
getting fine roads for nothing There
is nothing of the Georgia camp scenes
and Warden Cleghorn is making men
while he is making fine roads. Soon
COLORADO will have good roads through
canons, valleys and over mountains.

IMPORTANT EXTENSIONS ARE
PLANNED BY THE COLORADO
& SOUTHERN RAILROAD.
HELP COLORADO
LINE FROM FORT COLLINS TO
cHEYENNE-DoUB TRACK
SOUTH OF PUEBLO.

Denver-The Republican WedneS-
day morning has the following:
New road to be built by the Colorado
& Southern:
Miles.
Orin Junction to Forsythe, Mont. 260
Fort Collins to Cheyenne, Wyo... 40
Double Track, Pueblo to Walsen-
DerS. ......... 90
Available for the work:
Reserve fund S1O.OOO,OOO
Bonds in the treasury. ..... 75,000,O0O
The Colorado e Southern will in the
near future begin spending millions to
complete 800 miles of new track and
carry out long cherished plans for
north and south trunk line from Mon
tana to the Gulf of Mexico which will
gather enormous traffic from the East
and West roads and send it through
Galveston to the worlds markets.
This has been the ambition of Pres
ident Frank Trumbull ever since he
took control eleven years ago and
cemented the disjointed branches into
a system which was one of two roads
in the country to increase its net re-
ceipts during the last panic year.
The new road necessary to complete
the system has all been surveyed dur
ing the past year ana with plenty of
reserves in the treasury and the bal
ance of the system piling up a reserve
fund, it needs only the order to begin
grading.
The new track will be forty miles be-
tween Fort Collins and Cheyenne and
260 miles between Orin Junction, the
present northern terminus of the road,
and Forsyth, Mont, a large town on
the Northern Pacific road.
The new Fort Collins Cheyenne divis-
ion will run through a fine farming
country for half its lcngth and is eX-
pected to earn more than interest on
the cost. This new track from Orin
north will traverse a virgin country
of vast resources and much of which
is susceptible of irrigation and conver-
sion into homes for thousands. 1t will
run through the headwaters of the
Belle Fourche river, will run into the
beautiful valley of the Powder river
and will cross the valleys of the
Tongue and Rosebud rivers on it's way
into central Montana. This territory
is the very heart of the Wyoming cat
tie ranges and the soil for farming is
similar to the famous valley of the Big
Horn, which is unfolding an empire
under the touch of water and transpor
tation facilities.
Three million dollars worth of bonds
for the initial expense will be sold at
once. twenty-five million dollars re-
ceived from the sale of bonds has been
spent in completing the southern end
of the road through Texas to Calves
ton and installing new terminals.
The company will still have s72,000,-
900 of the slO0,O00,00O bond issue au-
thorized three years ago in its treas
ury to complete the northern end of the
system into the northwest.

eutcherinq of Deer in Colorado.

Denver.-''It was butchery. it wasn't
sport, said ID. A. Carr of Littleton, who
was in Denver en- route home Monday
from deer hunting trip in the Meeker
country. You couldn't tempt me to
go up into the mountains again and
witness the slaughter of the past week.
The deer were not so plentiful but that
there seemed to be hunter for every
single one, and, although | got mine,
I'm sorry now that / did. 1t doesn't
seem possible that there could be one
deer left in the mountains"
Mr.. Carr called at the state offices
of the game and fish commission with
the intention of reporting what he saw,
but found them closed for Columbus
Day. His account of what he witnessed
bears out the statement of Game Com
missioner Farr that better laws are
needed to protect the game. Robert l..
Spargur of the state commission says
he believes over 1000 deer will be
killed. These include the does and
fawns, which are not spared by the
merciless hunters in pursuit of tro.
phies.
Mr.. Spargus says:
Deer will be almost exterminated
this year. We will have to have better
protective laws or Colorado will have
no deer in few years. Last year 1000
deer were killed and this year the num-
Der is twice as big. This commission
will have to secure law to close the
season altogether on does and fawns
and only allow a few days open on

being received each day in Denver"
