board of trade last evening selected
committee Of citizens to meet the
commission and aid in entertaining the
members while in the city. Durango
and La Plata county cannot afford to
be left out in this matter Silverton
and Ouray are up and doing, and we
understand Montezuma, Dolores and
San Miguel counties will do their part
in having a connecting link, and with
proper showing no doubt arrangements
can be made to secure money from
the state for an outlet to the Montrose
side by way of Silverton and Ouray
and also by way of Mancos, Dolores
Rico. Trout Lake and Telluride. There
is beautiful scenery along both routes
and tourists will utilize them to a
large extent.
