NAY EXTEND SCENIC R0lD
FURTHER INTO the eOReE

A suggestion was made by Alderman
Okey at the meeting of the city coun-
Gil Tuesday night. which II carried out
will result in an extension Of the sce-
mic roadway into the Royal Gorge
about three quarters OF mile beyond
its present terminus, or, to point
within approximately two miles of the
Hanging Bridge.
Mr.. Okey stated that the route of
the proposed pipe for the new water
works system only touched the Dem
yer & Rio Grande right Of way at two
places between tho reservoir site near
Kenley's gardens and Gorge station,
and to obviate these points Of contact
and thereby escape any controversy
with the railroad company, he sug-
gested that two tunnels be bored
through the overhansins rock for the
Installation Of the conduit and road
built along the side of the mountain
as far up as mile post 164. 1sfss e
The work, he said, could be done
very cheaply with prison labor and
that a tentative arrangement had
been made with Warden Cleghorn to
furnish the men to bore the tunnels
and build the road, the state to accept
water from the city for the use ut the
penitentiary in payment for the la
Dor necessary to carry out the propO-
sition. ~ s~'. = f-rF. "' - -
One of the, tunnels, he stated, would
Be about 200 feet in length and the
other somewhat shorter. They could
be made large enough for carriages
and other vehicles to pass through
and. would enable tourists to drive mp
a. far as Gorge. station. which would
add immensely to- the popularity OF
the new scenic roadway. 30 40. .ss,.p
From the. upper end OF, the extern
sion to the Hanging Bridge would be
less than two miles, AZ has already
been stated, and could easily be made
by pedestrians from that point.
The extension could be made. &C.
cording to Mr.. Okey. without any cash
outlay ON the part Of the city except
for powder. tools and the salary Of
an overseer to look after the work.
In view of the importance OF the un-
ldsrtakinE to the community at large
the proposition was referred to the
water committee with power TO act.

gineer, was beaten and his money
taken by Siemsen and Dabner on
August Is. This time there was a
third man with them who has never
been captured. Two days later they
walked into the shoe store of ].

GOULD ABANDONS
RAILROAD PLANS
tBy Associated Press. /,

NEW YORK, July 31.-At con-
ference today in the office of Kuhn,
Loeb and company, E. H. Hartman,
George ]. Gould and Jacob H. Schiff
arranged a tentative plan by which
syndicate headed by Kuhn, Loeb
and company, is to furnish the Wa
bash railroad with funds to meet the
$S,000,O0O Wheeling and Lake. Erie
notes, which mature next Saturday
and which are guaranteed by the
Wabash.
This development is of far-reach-
ing significance, in that it means the
virtual abandonment of George
Gould's attempt to form competi-
tive transcontinental line, consisting
of the Western Pacific, Denver and
Rio Grande, Missouri Pacific, Wa
bash, Wheeling and Lake Erie, Wa
-Pittsburg Terminal and the
Western Maryland system. Undoubt-
edly Gould was forced to accept the
best terms that the Hartman allies
would make. Wall street believes
that they have not been generous
