Colorado. no doubt. beats faster when
he reads OF the new railroad projected
from Denver To the Gulf. This road
Is now under construction and Is to be
com pletcd as far north as Lamar by
July lst.. 1911. From Lamar the road
will run northwest and will intcrsr ct
the Union Pacific at Limon. Where
it will cross the Missouri Pacific has
not yet been dctermined: perhaps at
Orhway, or II little east OF here.
This new road will give employment
to many people: will give us a direct
outlet to the Gulf and the Panama
Canal, but best OF all, It will give US
better freight rates and will therefore
reduce the cost of living. Two years.
