The wires of this gigantic power
concern, which will carry an initial

General Manager Frucauif Of the

said last night:
The growing demand for light and
power from our lines has put us up to
the limit Of the capacity of our plants,
even with the extensions planned. As
We have determined to go out after n
greatly increased amount of business,
We must have a new source OF supply.
We have made contract with the
Central Colorado Power Company to
take electric power from them as we
need IL, as our business grows and We
need the added capacity. Th. lines OF
the Central Colorado have reached
Golden from their plant at Shoshonc.
near Glenwood Springs. The wires
come via Leadyillc. over the mountains
TO Idaho Springs aud will soon be ready
to deliver power here. At the city
limits they hav. purchased ground and
will establish sub-station where the

into step-down transformers and re.
duced to voltage that Is safe to be-
used through the city on our wires.

BELIEVES IN WOMAN SUFFRAGE,

EDITOR GLIDER FEARS FOR Fu
TURE OF HOME AND FAM
ILY IN AMERICA.

New York.-The attitude of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary OF
State Elihu Root on the subject OF
woman suffrage was disclosed Friday
at a meeting under the auspices OF
the National League for Civic Educa-
tion of Women.
Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott. editor of
the Outlook, In the course of an ad-
dress in opposition to granting the
right to vote to women. read the fol-
lowing letter from President Roose-
welt:
PERSONALLY | believe in woman'3
suffrage" says Mr.. Roosevelt at the
outset of the letter. which is dated
November 10, 1908. but I am not an
enthusiastic advocate of 1t because
do not regard it as very important
matter. I am unable to see that there
has been any special Improvement in
the position of women in those states
in the West that have adopted woman
suffrage as compared with those states
adjoining them that have not adopt
ed 1t.
81 do not think that giving the
marked improvement in the condition
OF women. ! do not believe that 1t
will produce any of the evils fenred.
and l am very certain that when
women. az a whole. take any special
interest in the matter they will nave
the suffrage II they desire 1t.
81 am more and more convinced that
the great field. the Indispensable
field for the usefulness of woman Is
rs the mother OF the family II Is
her work In the household. In the
home. her work In bearing and rear
ing the children. which is more than
any mans work. and II liz that work
which should be normally the won'-
ans special work. while the mans
work should be that of the brcadwin-
ner. tho supporter of the home and.
II necessary. the soldier who will
fight for the home. There are eNcep
tions as regards both man and
woman: but the full aud perfect life.
the life Of highest happiness. and Of
highest usefulness to the state. Is the
life of the man and woman who are
husband and wife. who live In the
partnership of love and duty. the one
earning enough to keep the home. the
other managing the home and chill
dren."
Secretary Root. in n letter which
was read at the meeting says:
Il do not myself consider that the
granting of suffrage to women would.
, under the existing conditions. be any
improvement in our system OF govern
ment. On the contrary. think 1t
would rather reduce than Increase the
electoral efficiency of our people. |
am inclined to think. however. thnt II
the women OF the United States or
any very large majority OF them
should really come to want the right
OF suffrage for themselves they would
ultimately get it

meeting and in the course of his ad-
dress attributed the divorce evil. and.
