Denver. Jan. s.-Several very i'm
portant questions will come up for
Discussion and disposal at the sec
ond annual good roads convention
which opens in Pueblo, January IL.
One of these Is the proposition Of a
SIO,OOO,60O bond issue for good
roads which will come before the
voters at the next general election.
The other is the route Of the pro-
posed trans-continental highway.
The fight of the latter matter will
be between the citizens of the
northern part of the state and the
southern part. Those who favor
the southern route want the road
to pass over the old Santa Fe trail
through the Arkansas valley to
Pueblo and from there over the
mountains to Canon City and Grand
Junction. The people of northern
Colorado would prefer that the
route be due west into Denver from
the state line, thence to Boulder
and over the northern passes. The
tourist traffic to the coast during
tho Panama exposition at San Fran
cisco in 1915 is the prize at stake.
Denver proposes to send dele
CATION 100 strong primed to fight
for this part of the state. The indi-
cations, therefore. are that the dis
position of the matter will bring on
. spirited contest.
A program to be followed out at
the Pueblo convention by the Dem
yer promoters and auto enthusiasts
has been mapped out at 4 mass
meeting held at the Chamber OF
Enm cree headnuarters last Friday

Pueblo meeting to the scheme OF
Denver to divert the route from the

no doubt be made over the PROPOSE

1t is believed that practically
every county in the state will be
represented in the Pueblo meet
ing. To date more than two-thirds
of the counties have advised that
they will be represented. Governor
Shafroth, and possibly Governor
Carey of Wyoming will speak.
Every effort is being made to Sc
cure representative delegation

and several other prominent citi-
zens have announced their inten-
ton of attending. The county is
entitled to appoint delegates. the
mayor and the larger ditch COM
panies are also entitled to their
share of representation. Greeley
and Weld county has been slow to
act, but those who attend the con-
yention will make every effort to
have the trans-continental highway
along the northern route. Southern
Colorado has been active while
northern Colorado. with the excep-
tion Of Denver, has been supine. 1t
