TURKEY HALTs
RAIL PROJECT
Proposed Chester Road Plan
Is Withdrawn From
Consideration

Constaninople. Dec. 30.The Ches-
ter railway project IA. been with
drawn from consideration by the Tur-
kish government. and In its present
form Is regarded az having slight
chance Of success. The Grand Nizier
withdrew the bill after II had been
the subject of considerable debate.
The stumbling-block to the accep-
lance OF the plan by the government
is two-fold. The Minister OF Pub
lie Works favors a normal gauge line
against the narrow gauge proposed
by the Chester group. The promot-
ers are prepared to undertake the
construction of the broader gauge.
but want state guarantee IN that
event.
The other point is that the gov
eminent wants to secure the same
right OF option as that enjoyed by
the Chester group; that Is, to possess
the right TO withdraw the concession
after the expiration OF the two years
granted for the purpose of making
the necessary surveys. the govern
mont paving the cost of the surveys
and plans.
Outside of a small group OF dep
uties the Chester enterprise has new
er been popular II was distrusted
from the first, owing to the mining
interests involved. and that distruss
exists to a certain degree after the
fun explanations made in the Cham
Der.
German diplomacy, which views
with no friendly eve the possible es-
tabllshment OF competitive railways
in the regions adjoining the suhere
OF the Bagdad line, has all along
thrown cold water on the American
project and is largely responsible for
its virtual failure.

Nineteen years ago Antonio S.
Martinez borrowed 500 from a
loan company giving his note
and trust deed on the land in
question. The trust deed was
duly recorded at Conejos but
Martinez never paid anything on
the obligation and the property
passed through the hands of vari-
Gus owners, Chavez coming into
possession about seven years ago
by quit claim deed. In February
last the land was advertised in
the Antonito Ledger to be sold
at the court house in Denver.
Chavez attended the sale and bid
in the property under contract
with the holder of the trust deed,
Denver attorney. The interest
amounted to about 800, part of
which the attorney very generous
ly rebated. Mr.. Chavez will prob
ably want an abstract of title
