The ELECTRIC Railroad.

The fact that the report of the
engineers of the Electric Railroad
is practically finished. and that
they are now endeavoring to enlist
capital. lends renewed interest to
the project.
We want this railroad in the
uncompahgre valley, just as much
and just as badly as do the people
of Cedaredge and of Surface Greek
valley The construction and opera
tion of this road will do more to
advance and increase the develop
ment of our country and the pros
perity of our people than any other
one OF a dozen projects which may
seem probabilities or even possibil-
tiles with us. We are assured of
a good fruit crop. the indications
are that the lronstone people will
get together with the government,
and that a million dollars will be
spent in the valley this year, the
war with Japan is farther off and
the peaceful invasion of Mexico
more indeterminate, and the U. S.
supreme court is making some de-
cisions which are mot in unlawful
restriction OF trade" thus ending to
open the money Golfers of the east.
Now let us each and all get behind
everything that tends for the wei
fare and upbuilding of our commun-
ity.
In The Press of April g. it was
stated that as soon as the engineers
report was in shape for them to take
up the matter with capital, that
something definite would be ad-
vised as to why the bonus should
be raised. how much would be nee
essary. etc. tnd an answer given
to the Montrose County Producers
Boosting Association. as to what
definite action on their part would
be asked.
The association at a recent meet
ing promised at the desired time to
call meeting for the special pur-
pose of giving consideration to the
railroad project. We are given to
understand that it is purposed to
ask the association to call this
special meeting for some time the
latter part of this week.
When this meeting is held. let us
make 1t a full one and an enthusi-
astic one.
The engineers say they are firmly
convinced that they can finance the
road If the interested communities
will raise the desired bonuses and
give the right of way.
The fact that this project is so
to all others, in that IL
asks nothing from the people until
the road is built, should appeal to
Press.

BIG DOINGS FOR CRAWFORD
AND HOTCHKISS SECTION
Red Canon Railroad Capitalized and
100000 Gypsum Plant Will
be Constructed.

The following interesting news
matter appeared first in the Denver
Republican last Friday when E. b.
Priest reached that city on his re-
turn from the East.
Mr.. Priest has been busily en-
gagged in Delta county for the past
year, promoting these enterprises,
as well as the Appleton-Cedaredge
railroad:
CONSTRUCTION on 100000 gyp-
sum plant to be located at Hotch-
kiss in Delta county, will begin at
once. K. b. Priest, engineer for the
company of Minneapolis capitalists
who intend to develop some of the
rich gypsum beds of Delta county,
was in Denver yesterday making ar
rangements for the letting of the
contracts. Ample funds are now
availabl for the construction of the
plant and the development of the
mines.
1t has long been claimed that the
gypsum beds of Delta county are tn.
best in the country. but principally
because OF the expense necessary
TO build plant TO manufacture
Of the mineral, the rich beds have
never been developed.
There is no gypsum plant nearer
than Iowa and the freight rate on
the raw material has prevented the
shipments of Colorado gypsum 10 the
East. The Minneapolis company,
headed by Geo. c. Harper and n. J.
Olsen, will build the plant within
a few miles of the gypsum beds. 1t
will have an output of 500 barrels
of plaster OF paris daily and will be
increased in size as soon as the
business of the company warrants 1t.
There is a good demand for plas-
ter OF paris as 1t is the principal
element in nearly all wall coatings.
The Hotchkiss company plans TO go
after the trade of the region lying
west of its plant No effort will be
made at first. to get business in
the territory lying east OF the di-
vide.
The building of this factory
means much for the town of Hotch-
kiss and the surrounding country.
The town raised $4,000 tG obtain
this factory, largely through the ef-
forts of Paul Wilson, one OF the
most active real estate men in West
ern Colorado.
THE success of the factory is be
lieved to be certain. Tests made
at the State School of Mines show
that the Delta county gypsum is 90
per cent pure. the finest discovered
in the country. There is believed
to be an almost inexhaustable sup
ply in the hills around Hotchkiss.
State Secretary of immigration
Alfred Patek. points to the fact that
no small per cent of the outside
capital now being brought to Colo |
RADIO to develop the resources OF |
the state, is coming from Minnesota |
and the neighboring states. He de- |
clares that nearly sl.000,000 has |
been invested in Colorado from this |
section of the country during the |
past two years.
MIR. and Mrs. Priest arrived Tues /
day morning. and We understand |
that he is authority for the state
ment that finances for both rail-
road projects are forthcoming and
that as soon as arrangements can
be made. work will be commenced |
on the line from Appleton to Ce-
daredge and on the Colorado a. Red
Canon, from Hotchkiss to Crawford |
and Maher.

DESTROY BY DYNAMITE
Fred Trips Store Building
AT Sugar Camp Blown Up
Sunday Morning.

The general store of Fred Trip
jll the town of Sugar Camp,
Oneida county, twelve miles from
Eagle River, was dynanlited at
an early hour Sunday morning
and the building with it's con-
tents totally destroyed.
The second floor of the store
was occupied by the rripp family.
They were thrown from their
beds but escaped serious injury.
Fire followed the explosion and
reduced the structure to ashes.
Friday night 100 pounds of
dynamite stored in Trips pow
der house was stolen and this
was undoubtedly used in wreck
ing the store. Detectives will be
employed in an effort to capture
the perpetrators of the crime.
Fred Trip is one of the oldest
and best known residents of
Oneida county.
Trip has been active in local
political circles and it is generally
believed that the outrage was
the result of. trouble during re-
cent campaigns, At least no
other reasontor the outrage has
been suggested and there IS no
clew as vet to the perpetrators.
