C0LORADO'S
new ROADS
LARAMIE AND NORTH
WESTERN
DENVER TO SALT LAKE
COMPLETION LOOKED FORWARD
TO WITH JOYFUL ANTICI-
PATTON

Denver.-Colorado is vastly inter-
ested in the construction of two
railroads destined to place Denver
on direct transcontinental thorough
fares. One is the Moffat Road and
the other (the newest projects the
Denver, Laramie & Northwestern
railroad. Just now the commercial
interests are looking toward the
completion of these roads with joy
full anticipation.
Charles Scott Johnson, president of
the Denver, Laramie & Northwestern,
gives the reinsurance that the road
is aiming to get as far as Yellow
stone Park by 1913 and that within a
year from now he hopes to have
trains operating between Denver and
the vast coal fields of Carbon county,
Wyoming, where, it is said, there is
enough coal in the one county to sup
ply the entire West for centuries to
come.

beT OH d ulTeCl llue.
The Laramie road when completed
also will form means for a transcon-
tinental road and our work is being
pushed as rapidly as possible
The method by which the Laramie
road is being built is perhaps the
most interesting of any enterprise
that has for it's aim the construction
of great public thoroughfare. The
plan is considered by sound heads to
be unquestionably firm and plausible.
Speaking of the methods by which
this road is being built, prominent
business man said:
"The method of financing the
Denver, Laramie & Northwestern
railroad is perfectly plausible and alb
solutely good business, though appar-
emily unique. c. S. johnson first
formed the Northwestern Land and
Iron Company with the plan of sell
ing the stock direct to the investor
instead of having it come through
Wall Street and then to the investor,
