The Broad Gauge.

The semi-annual story about
immediate broadgauging of
Marshall pass is again going the
rounds of the press, and is inter-
esting to read about from the i'm
perative necessity of the thing.
However, necessity and the Rio
Grande railroad know no law in
this case. No one who has
knowledge of conditions can see
any sense in the delay. 1t is a
losing proposition to the railroad
and is holding back development
of the Western Slope.
The gist of the article, which
first appeared in the Denver Re-
publican is that as soon as the
times are more propitious for the
marketing of the company's
bonds the d. & r. G. will stand
ardize a great deal of their mar
row gauge tracks, one of the
first of which will be the broad
gauging of the Marshall pass
route from Salida to Montrose.
The article further states that
the broad gauging of Marshall
pass route is made necessary by
the vast amount of produce and
fruit now being grown in the
Montrose district and which now
must be loaded in the narrow
gauge equipment and then trans
ferred to the broad gauge cars.
Also, when this portion of the
line is standardized the road will
be prepared to handle all traffic
for years to come with the great
est possible expediency.
This decision has been reached
by President Jeffrey as a result
of his recent trip Of inspection
over the Rio Grande and the
Western Pacific and portion of
the Missouri Pacific. 1t is said
that he is confident that condi-
tions soon will materially inn
prove and that the great expecta-
tions of the officials as to traffic
over the Western Pacific and the
Missouri Pacific are in a fair way
of being realized.
The Salida Record says: Every
business man knows the Wall
Street Journal is a reliable paper
and never prints anything unless
they are absolutely certain of
its authenticity. In the issue of
August 25th under a heading,
Denver & Rio Grande Outlining
Important Track Improvement"
appeared the following:
The company has surveyed a
new route around this summit
which will lengthen the line
about seven miles but which will
reduce the grade to 2 per cent.
This will cost 81, 300, 900. When
completed it will enable the COM
pany to handle twice as much
traffic over this point with pres
ent equipment. In order to
keep it's traffic moving the COM
pany is under the necessity of
handling between 400 and 420
loaded cars daily over this sum-
nit. -Gunnison News Champion.

Additional Passenger Boat Needed at
Once on Chicago Run.

Further Information concerning the
probable addition OF another passen-
ger vessel to the Chicago a. Duluth
transportation company comes from
Chicago to the effect that the package
freighter william IL. Gratwick No. 1.
may be rebuilt for such service.
This information follows almost di-
rectly after the rumor given out at
Chicago that the company intended
to build n $l.OOO,OOO passenger boat
which would carry over 400 passen-
gers. The officials of the company
have not given out any definite infor-
nation on the subject. although they
are planning on securing another boat
for traffic next season, buy, rebuild or
build
The Gratwicl1e No. 1 is a steel vessel
S2S feet long and AZ feet beam, own
ed by this company and built in 1898
She has a gross tonnage capacity Of
2.SlS, and would be made into pas
senger boat easily, carrying from 800
to 400 passengers. as well as a large
cargo of merchandise.
1t Is understood that should this
boat be placed into the passenger
service her name win be changed.
Two names have been suggested by
the company. Minnikato and Mimi
haha, but II is likely that the former
will be selected.
The company has now only one
boat plying between Duluth, Portage
Lake and Chicago, this being the
Minnesota. which made her first trip
as a passenger boat last June. The
schedule Is round trip each week,
but the traffic is so heavy that at each
trip she carries a capacity load of
about 800. and at both ports many
people are turned down because they
cannot secure the room. With the
addition of another boat these could
be taken care of and more people
brought to Duluth.
The Gratwick No. has been i'm
service for many years carrying all
kinds of cargoes. All summer she has
been bringing to Duluth merchandise
from Chicago. while on her return trip
she has been carrying ore to the Win
dy City. Her master Is Capt James
