And it would take to pull them out j.

And explain to you that coin

And all in the world Il needed
Was thirty simoleons bright,
And after had proven
That every word l said was true
Now, Jack, just tell me truly, <
Really wouldn't you come through
With those thirty shining dollars,
With that little batch of dough,
Or would you, through CLASSY stare
And to Charlie r. say No?

(From the Denver Times)

rom ilt IShNSt A'AANeF
Word reached Denver this morn
ing from unofficial sources that the
Union Pacific will at once commence
construction work on its new line
from Denver to Fort Morgan, whicn
is to cost between S3,500,0OO and
$4,000,000
This information follows the Of
ficial announcement by the Burling-
ton that it will construct its Gree
lev-Hudson line this winter The
two projects have been in contem-
plation by the two big systems for
several years and each has held
back operations waiting for the
other to make the first move.
The beginning of work on the
Burlington line means that con-
struction work on three railroads
in Colorado will be in progress in
the winter time this year on large
scale for the first time. If the
Union Pacific undertakes the Fort
Morgan cutoff it will make four
roasd that are working on big pro-
jects during the hardest season OF
the year. The other two are the
Denver. Northwestern & Pacific and
the Denver & Rio Grande.
The new line between Denver
and Fort Morgan will be seventy-si1
miles long and will start from Sand
creek, Immediately north of the city
limits. 1t will be practically an air
Tine and will save thirty-three miles
in the distance between Denver and
the east.
