news 10 have repeated that the Moffat
Road. to the building of which Mr..

President Evans gave his attention
exclusively to Tramway Company az
fairs. He arranged the bond issue au-
thorized by the stockholders OF the

important additions and improvements
will be made. The first issue of close
to 100000 was greatly over-sub-
scribed on the first day In Denver.

sincerity of what Mr.. Moffat had done
for Colorado. Now that the road had
been completed to the coal fields OF
Routt county and to Steamboat
Springs Mr.. Moffat did not find II diff
ficult to make such satisfactory ar

sired. Mr.. Evans said:

support OF everyone mere.

BILE the size OF this city in n very short
time and keep all Of us who have local
enterprises on hand busy to keep up

A short time ago George b. McFad-
den. an engineer of this city. made I'LL
ing on certain reservoir sites toward
the headwaters of the Cache la Poudre
river in northern Colorado. At that
time II was stated that Mr.. Evans and
friends were behind the undertaking.
Yesterday Mr.. Evans confirmed the
statement. But he was careful to ex-
plain that 1t had not gone far enough
for him to make any announcement
Engineers had been employed and
had made reports. These reports were
at hand but he had been giving his
attention to Tramway Company af
fairs exclusively. Mr.. Evans said that
he looked for great development in ir-
rigation projects in this state in the
near future. Routt county would come
in for its share as there were several
locations along the Green river and in
other parts OF the state and on the
borders Of Colorado and Utah. In this
respect, too. Colorado was attracting
the attention of investors.
