 As matter of fact, any personal difference between these two shining lights in the political Armament of Alaska, does not cause any particu- lar anxiety or alarm among the com non people.

honors them; and will say in advance
to all young men who contemplate TAX
ing this examination that / do not be-
lieve that any boy who is at that age
a chronic or excessive cigarette smoker,
would ever reflect credit upon the Cen
tennial State.
The Post desires to compliment Mr.
Taylor on having nerve enough to take
this unusual stand. That paragraph
has the right ring except that it ism t
strong enough. The time has now come
when young men who are designated as
cigarette iends have trouble in holding
ordinarily respectable positions in the
trades and professions and there is no
reason why they should be favored by
Uncle Sam.
The Glenwood post., 1909-10-30
DoTSERo CUTOFF

Some time ago a committee was ap
Trade to meet with the other CONNER
cial clubs of this section and decide
upon some method of further urging the
Denver & Rio Grande or Moffat roads
to build the short cutoff between Dot
sero and the nearest point on the latter
road
That this Glenwood committee was
ready and wiling to do all in its power
to further the scheme there was never
a doubt, but there was some doubt of
the members being able to accomplish
very much this year.
But is the Glenwood committee doing
anything in this matter? Did they get
the support of the other commercial
clubs of this section of the state?
In speaking of this cutoff, the Denver
Republican recently said :
The idea of connecting line between
the Moffat road and the Denver & Rio
Grande by the construction of line
between Kremling and Dotsero may for
the present be no more than a dream,
but that it is practicable by that means
to provide the Rio Grande with short
route from Dotsero to Denver admits of
| no question.
The fact that the Royal Gorge through
which the main line of the Denver &
Rio Grande now passes is very narrow
and does not admit of the construction
of double track, suggests that there
may be congestion of traffic on that
part of the line in case the business of
the Rio Grande is greatly increased in
consequence of the completion of the
Western Pacific to San Francisco.
Another route from the western part
of the state to Denver would supply all
that might on this score be needed, and
this route could be secured by making
a connection with the Mofrat road and
obtaining trackage rights over the la.
J ter.
A large number of cases in which
/ two railroads use the same track re-
moves all question about the practica.
bility of operating such line The
| Rock Island runs into Denver from
Limon over the Union Pacific, and the
Colorado & Southern uses the track of
another road between Denver and Pu-
| eblo.

"NATIONAL PERIL
In in the request.

Under the caption, "Millions Paid
for Water" the Philadelphia Inquirer
said recently:
At the foot of deep gorge in the
Rockies the Gunnison river had been
running for centuries. A granite wall
six miles through separated it from the
alkali plains of the Uncompahgre val
ley. That siX-mile wall has been pierre
ed at last by tunnel and the waters
of the Gunnison have been turned into
the valley to find the old river bed
again at the end of it. 1t has cost
$3,00o,O00 to construct the tunnel. AS
much more will be expended upon the
waste lands to bring them under the
influence of the water supply. The esti
mate is that the 147 900 acres of land
thus reclaimed will be worth for farms
and orchards something like $15,O00,
600.
Six miles of tunnel and $4,000, 900 to
open up to cultivation 1000 acres!
Is it worth while? Unquestionably
it is. But while we are spending money
lavishly to induce water to flow where
it has never, flowed before, we are cut
ting down our remaining forests at a
fearful rate and thus depicting our
water courses. While we are reclaim
ing we should also be conserving. Hills
denuded of their trees bring floods in
spring and drought in summer. Floods
in turn wash away the soil.
One of these days we shall wake up
to what is already becoming national
peril. If congress did but know it.,
there are few national topics of more
Importance today than the conservation
Of natural resources.
