GRAND JUNCTION is TO BENEFIT

Between 5000 and 10000 men
will be put to work on Denver & Rio
Grande improvements at once, and
the expenditure of millions of dol
lars in Colorado and Utah will be
made this summer.
Official advices were received in
Denver by Vice President Il. L..
Brown last night that the directors
had approved the new improvement
budget, calling for an expenditure of
approximately s10,000,0O0, and that
the budget is expected to reach Dem
yer tomorrow morning.
Until the budget arrives | do not
care to give out the "details of the i'm
provements other than to say that
they are in general line with the cir
cular recently issued to stockhold-
ers," said Mr.. Brown in an interview
with the Denver Times "Since last
March we have added from sl5O,OOO
to 100000 month to our payroll,
and this summer we will rush the
work to have the improvements ready
to handle business this fall"
Vice President Brown said he es-
timated that between 5000 and TO-
600 men will be put to work by con-
tractors as result of the improve
ments which are to begin at once.
The company's payroll is now run
ming close to $1,00O,OOO month
and it is estimated that it will re-
quire at least 81 100000 month ad-
ditional to meet the wages and pay
for supplies and material on the i'm
provements. These vast expenditures
mean work for thousands of men and
a revival of prosperity in Colorado.
The directors have completed the
final details of the new issue of s25.-
100000 Z per cent income bonds au-
thorized by the stockholders in this
city on April 27. Ten million dollars
of these will be issued at once, and
this money is now available.
The expenditures authorized in
clude $450.O00 for shop improve
ments in Denver, Pueblo. Grand juno
tion, Salt Lake City and other points
S3,700,000 for making a 14-mile d.
tour over Soldier summit, Utah. and
building 60 miles of second main
line track; about s2,5O0,0OO for gem
eral Improvements and $2,5OO,OOO
for the Western Pacific.
The real significance of recent
financing by the Denver & Rio Grande
as applied to Colorado did not become
apparent to the public until it became
known that the work was to be
rushed this summer on the improve
ments with the intention of complet-
ing them before the end of the year.
That means that one of the largest
armies of laborers ever put to work
in the west on one project will soon
be in the field. and that every section
of two states will be benefited.

thousands more of homeless peo-
pie.
The most of the flood water is
coming from the great break in
the levee at Torras, which is now
5000 feet wide.
A general exodus of women and

The question of separate contribu-
tions for foreign and home mission
