4 Montrose dispatch i'm the Denver
News saws that talk has again been
revived ON the western slope of the
plans of the Colorado X Southern
railroad to extend it's lines from Gum
nison county into Montrose and Delta
COUNTIES The discussion of this plan
has definite project ON foot for eN-
tending INTO the fruit districts OF
Moutrose and Delta counties. The

sion of the road would open up an

tension built"

Work of Broad Gauging

The following press dispa tch from
Montrose to the Denver Times will be
of interest to our readers. That such
action on part of the railroad will be
taken at some time in the near future
is certainty. The Rio Grande is the
western outlet for the Missouri Pac-

under consideration fifteen months,
and owing to the increase of busi-

Pacific has also added considerably
to the through traffic of the Rio
Grande, and another line over the
mountains will soon be a necessity.
BY widening the gauge OF the Mon

Take This Advice

A southern preacher the other day
delivered a brief but very beautiful
funeral sermon. Here it is: "a word
to you all. Postmortem praises and
love are in the air. People kiss the
dead when they never stop to kiss
the living; they hover over caskets
iu hysteric sobs, but fail to throw
their arms around their loved ones
who are fighting the stern battle of
life. A word of cheer to the struggling
soul in life il worth more than all
the roses in christendum piled high
on the casket covers. The dead can
not smell the flowers, but the living
can. Scatter them broadcast in their
pathway. therefore, and pluck out
the thorn before II is too late"
