dsv, the 18th, County Commissioners
Wiley and Whale.l were present, also
Surveyors AIkine aud Eckbert Ii
was pointed out by Mr. Eckbert that
Monarch pass is probs bly, sixty miles
shorter aud more direct TO the entire
Western Slope than any other desir-
able route. Judge Alkine helped
survey a railroad line over this pass
thirty years ago, and is convinced
that four per cent grade is obtain
able aud that the present road, laid
out by Boone Bros, has good grades
most Of the wav
la fact 1t Is probable that tie en-
tire road can he built with not to ex-
ceed SIX per cent grade anywhere.
The Monarch pass route will also
aid greatly in developing our coun-
ty, being an inspiration 10 White
Pine, Waunlta aud Bowerman, as
well as the ranch country along the
Tomichi. Our side Of it would even
now need comparatively little road
building to become a very good
route, and at the other end it would
connect direct with the partially con-
structed state highway between Colo
rado Springs, Pueblo, Canon City
and Salida, making a straight shoot
into the Western Slope proper. Its
the logical route.
