WHO ARE THE MAYOS?
Americas Most Distinguished
Surgeons Better Known
Abroad Than al Home

1t is not an eXagceration TO say
that news Of the illness Of lDr.
Charles II. Mayo Il OF the
Mayo brothers,, surgeons of Rochester,
Mimi. waS received with q feeling Of
doom interest and anxiety in medical
s.clubs and societies Of every land.
t~4o.ably no two physicians in the
country are as we'll known abroad
as these simple, unaffected Western
ers, who have done SO much IN their
own way to alleviate the worlds suf-
9ferinS. They resent publicity. so
that comparatively little is known Of
them, outside OF the medical profess
sion and the ranks of those who have
paid p pilgrimage to Rochester. But
thai makes their professional reputa-
ton all the more remarkable.
There was borne home to an Amer
ican one day several years ago by a
chance meeting with an Australian
surgeon, in historic Edinburgh. The
two sat at q window in the dining

denver, Sept. 10. 1912. Announ-
ccuient has iust been made by Pres
ident Bush and Vice-Prcsident
Brown that at a recent meeting OF
the Board Of Directors Of tile Denver
and Rio Grandc Railroad Company
New York Cityi it was decided 10
standard gauge the present fihrrow
gauge line orer Marshall Pass be-
tween Salida and Montrose, Colo.
This involves widening the Ejiige
from three feet TO four feet eight and
one half inches for distance Of l36
miles at Il cost " approximately
s2,O00,Q00:
From 1859 to 1890 Transcontii
ncihal trains Of the Denter and Rio
Grandb were operated Over Marshall
Pass; but in the year last mentioned
the Standard gause line BY way of
Tennessec Pass dntl Glefrw3od Spring
to Grand Junction WAS constructed =,
and since thsn through trains have
been operated over the latter route
and The Marshall Pass niirfow gauge
line has been reserved especially for
tourists and sightsesrs aud such
local freight as originates in the mar
,.ou, ,,o,is,a {ai.,itnTii.
The Marshall Pass route, famed
the world over Cor its scenic attract
ions, crosses the Continental Divide
at an elevation of 10, ,S,j6 feet; and
the new standard gauge line will
cross at the sfme elevation and pre-
serve the many scenic attractions OF
the old route.
Marshall Pass, by reason OF being
the first, is perhaps The best known
crossing of the Continental Divide.
This comparatively low pass was
discovered IN 1871 by Lieufcnant

NARR0W-GkUGE.
PIONEER TO GO our
OF EXISTANCE in 1913

Announcements that the Denver
& Rio Gr;ude is stating in earnest
on the work of broad -gaugihg its
road over Marshall Pass will be re-
ceived with JOY by the people of the
Western Slope and the state at large;
TO those more directly interested it
means better train service and
quicker Transportation for the fruits
of Monttbse, Delta and Paonia; to
the state il means that Colorado is
outgrowing its swa.ldlins clothes and
to be hencefbrth known as n grown
Up.
The narrow gauge tailtoad has
served it's day. In time and place
it was a blessing. Oncb it was such
d line or nothing Then engineers
doubted the possibility OF carrying
andard-gaugc roads OVER motintains
and through the cahons. The sci
ence OF railroad IVES comparatively
new; the railroad world still had
muck to learn. Colorado wats cpenA
ed by the toy roads which wound
their WHY through IT'S gorges and
toiled painfully to the mountain
passes. They made il great, and
are not to be dcspised; but the en-
gincers haze been making progress
along with the state, and today it is
generally recognized asa truth that
standard track can 90 wherever
its baby brother once pioneered the
way,
1t Is matter for comment that
whereas the narrow road over Mar
shall was built with an eye to the
transportation of such sterling freight
az ore. coal and live stock, so swift
have been the changes since its ne
cessity was felt, that the broad
gauge, when il comes, will have
been brought by che necessity to
hasten 20 market peaches, pears and
apples-contingencies wholly un
forseen when the original line was
projected. Had those early day en-
gineers been told that they were
building II line which some day
would become one of the principal
outlets for fruits TO The Eastern mar
ket, they would have laughed the
suggestion to scorn. Yet the fact
remains that it is TO haul peaches
less than ores, apples rather than
coal, products of farms rather than
Of mines, chat broad gauge line
must be laid where once and for
long narrow gauge makeshiit sui
feed.
The improvement Will meim
much to the regions along the Gun
nison and its tributaries. 1t marks
The passing of one era while inaug-
urating 81 greater in the settlement
of the state. Having accomplished
so much against the handicap of
Indifferent transportation, the reg
ions to be benefited will do all the
more under the impetus Of better
train service and quicker outlet to
market.
