MOFFAT ROAD TO BUILD
AND CONTROL THE TUNNEL
Former Plans We're For State to
Enter Into This Gigantic
Enterprise.

The original idea of the late
David H. Moffat and others inter-
ested in the Moffat Rail- cad and al
so in what has been commonly term
ed the Moffat tunnel, was TO have
the state build and own the big
tunnel through the continental di-
vide, which was to be used as an
irrigation tunnel, as well as for
transportation purposes by several
different railroads. But according
to the trans-continental committee
of the Denver Chamber of Commerce,
the Moffat Road management has de-
cided to go ahead with the enter
prise, unaided by the state, owing
to a desire to have full ownership
and complete control.
The trans-continental committee
| above mentioned held meeting last
| Thursday, when a report was sub
mitted from which we quote as fol-
lows:
I'VE have every reason to be-
lieve that within a few months the
new organization (of the Moffat
road) will commence work both up
on the tunnel and the extension of
the road, with sufficient capital to
carry both through successfully,
without state aid"
The project was looked upon as
an empty dream for many years, but
more recently its practicability be
came apparent and the last general
assembly passed a bill providing for
the building of the tunnel by the
state. This bill, however, contain
ed a referendum clause and the
matter is to come up before the
In this regard. however, the re
port of the committee continues:
IF our hopes are realized in this
respect chat the Moffat road itself
will undertake the task of boring
the tunneD it will obviate the nee
essity of submitting to a vote of
the people the tunnel bill passed by
the last legislature"
1t has been enormously stated
that the financing of the project has
been accomplished This is not the
case, according to officials of the
company. but the capital will be
forthcoming in due time, 1t is stated.
The report continues: THE com
mittee had hoped, however. that the
tunnel, when constructed, would be
constructed under some arrangement
that would permit of it's use not on
ly by the Moffat road, but by the
Denver & Rio Grande and Midland
roads, and by such other railroad
companies as may be DESTROYS of
using the same, under such condi-
tions as would be fair and equable
TO all parties concerned.
while this result would not be
reached if the work is carried for
ward by the Moffat Road company,
yet in the opinion of your commit
tee, the principal benefits anticipat-
ed by the Chamber of Commerce
from the construction of the tunnel
undoubtedly will be realized and

SEES RAILROADS
I'm BRITAIN'S
CANAL PROTEST
Representative Knowland Tells Taft and
Knox the Canadian and American
Transcontinental Lines
Oppose Free Tolls.

Washington. July 49, President Taft
was told yesterday by Representative,
knowlsnd of California that Canadian
railroads acting in sympathy with Amer
lean railroads were behind Great Brit
aims protest against free tolls through
the Panama canal for United States
ships.
Not the slightest objection was made
by Great Britain" said Mr.. Knowland
until committee Of Canadian rail
road men took the question up with
the British government. There is little
doubt that American transcontinental
railroads prompted the move"
Mr.. Knowland also talked with Sec.
rotary Knox.
The president and the secretary of
state are standing for the right of the
United States to put certain American
vessels through the canal toll free.
The president has said there il no
question he is not willing to submit
to arbitration. While many OF the presi-
dents advisers contend the question OF
tolls is really one Of interstate COM
merce, so far as American vessels are
concerned, and, therefore, not subject
to protest by foreign nation, they are
hoping the dispute may be settled with
out the question of its being submitted
to The Hague tribunal being brought
up.

VERMONT ASBESTOS
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. EniLOr:
I was much interested in the article
reprinted in your issue of Jan. 81 from
the Morrisvlle paper, on "Chrysotlle
Asbestos" but | notice two state
ments therein which | think in justice
to Lowell should be corrected.
First. ''That amphibole, which IS
commonly called slip fibre. is OF
little or no value" Now the term
amphibole, which is name for
group of several varieties of asbestos
minerals. has no reference to slip
FIBRE which denotes only the form
and not quality. Professor c. H
Richardson of the Vermont GeologI-
cal staff pronouDces the ''slip fibre
of Lowell to be ':chry sotile'. Some
ampbibole is valuable, some is not.
The Italian asbestos is amphibole
(hornblende asbestos) and is very
nice and very valuable. "Chrysotile'
is valuable whether "cross fibre" OF
"slip fibre The character and moi
the form decides the value.
There are three types of asbestos
fibre, "cross fibre, "slip FIBRE" ano
"mass FIBRE "Cross fibre is almost
all chrysotile. some slip fibre is chrys.
