Information that arrangements had
been made to complete the construc-
ton OF the Moffat road to Utah and
that work on the extension will be un-
dertaken in the spring. just as soon as
weather will permit. In addition, the
new fields in Routt county and the
Northwest will be developed in sew
eral branches of industry this coming
year. The anthracite coal fields will
be penetrated soon. following them
will come the bitumen and elaterite
fields in Colorado and Utah. Great ir-
rfgation projects are under way al
ready and Mr.. Evans. who has made
and undeveloped empire, believes that
at no distant day the region around
Steamboat Springs will be as rich and
as thickly populated with farmers as
the Greeley district is at present. Mr..
Moffat finds that what he foresaw
when he undertook the construction of
the road has been realized at last by
the investing public OF the East and
abroad and that the country through
which the road is going is the greatest
prize left in the West.
There had been talk of the Hill in
terests going in with Mr.. Moffat to fin
ish the road as part of mid-conti-
nent line to San Francisco, but this
was premature, although it is admit
ted that the Hill people are friendly to
the Moffat interests and will be glad
to see the road finished to Salt Lake
City, or wherever the terminal may be
decided on. Foreign capitalists, repre-
sented by New York bankers, are
prepared to furnish whatever money
may be required to put the road over
to Utah.

MANUFACTURING IN COLORADO
A LImitIess Field for Men Of Courage
and Enterprjse,

The opportunities that Colorado Of
fers to men of experience and enter.
prise in various lines of manufacture
ing are becoming more generally rec
ognized every year. A large number
OF successful concerns are in steady
operation, but there is room and
demand for many more.
AS an illustration of what can be
done, the Lindquist Cracker Co. OF
Denver furnishes splendid illustra-
ton. Starting with very small capi-
tai only a few years ago it now gives
steady employment to 140 men and
women to whom are paid over $S5.O00
a year. They use the flour from six
hundred bushels of wheat every day
in the year, the value of which is
$225,OO0 per annum. They pay $4,000
a year for lard, using nearly twice as
much as is produced by all the Colo
RADIO raised hogs marketed at the Den
yer Union Stock Yards. They also
consume large quantities of Colorado
honey, butter. coal, coke. etc. They
spend some 100000 or 100000 year
for autographed labels, all Of which
Is done in Colorado. This concern Is
marketing its various products in four
teen different states in the South and
West, and in Old Mexico. BY using
only the very best materials they have
established a reputation that is COM
pelling them to enlarge their factories
and increase their facilities every few
months.
They are making a fortune. and
what they are doing can be repeated
by others in innumerable different
lines We have the raw material and
We are rapidly getting the population

best market in the world for first-class

for the favored ones picture. But moi
until now has 1t been possible to Sc

contrary, Miss Blech Is most attractive

guages. Probably the one thingh which
attracted Mrs. Taft to her was the fact
that she was told that the young wo'
man was a thorough pianist, having
won much applause in the local mu-
sical circles.
Miss Blech has filled a difficult role
most successfully and has made her
self favorite, not only at the White
House, but in official circles general
ly. by her efficiency. tact and diplo-
macy.
Tall, slender, quiet and reserved
Miss Blech has a charming manner
and a delightful personality. which
have won for her a host of friends.
She Is well known to Mrs. Roosevelt

lowed a rich streak for twenty-eight
feet, and he was prosecuting for an
other high-grade shoot which shows on

for the mine in day or two to attend
to the completing of the road to the
mine, that shipping of the large tom
mage of ore in sight, running from $50

favorable rate made by the railroads
for hauling that grade of ore will, it is
believed enable the company to at once
