OENVER.LARAMIE IS ALLOWED
TO RAISE MONEY FOR BUILDING

1.-The certificates to be issued
will take priority over the bonds
outstanding and will liquidate all
other Indebtedness.
Between Greeley and Severance
is rich farming community which
will be directly tributary to the rail
road when it is extended, and our
plans and our figures show conclu-
sively that the products of that dis
trict alone will make the railroad a
success The additional five miles
of road between Severance and
Wellington will be more than self
sustaining. and all that will then be
necessary is little time to make
he road boon to Denver and the
territory through which it passes. y
The original survey of the road
provides for it's extension north into
the Medicine Bow country of Wyom-
ing. where subsidiary companies
have valuable coal lands. range and
agricultural lands. 1t is the belief
of officers and bondholders of the
road that reorganization can be
effected in the near future. as the
differences between the factions
owning bonds appear to be on the
way to settlement.

DENVER TO
BUILD THE
BIC bore
MOFFAT TUNNEL, WAS TURNED
DOWN BY STATE, But MAY
BE TACKLED BY DENVER-TO
BE VOTED ON FIRST

Denver, Dec. 26.-Denver will
build, control and operate the tun-
mel to be used by the Moffat rail-
road Petitions will be circulated
for an amendment to the city char
ter to be voted on at the special
election February IA to give the
city the authority to issue bonds
for the project.
This announcement was made
yesterday afternoon by Jesse E.
Fleming, chairman of the united
business organizations which are
backing up the project Fleming
and his associates favor the plan of
entire municipal ownership of the
tunnel, as public utility, rather
than partnership arrangement
with the Moffat road, in order to
insure the full benefits of the tun-
mel to the city.
The city would in this way have
absolute control of the gateway to
the west, and would invite all
roads to use the tunnel. without
permitting any special advantage
to any one road. Not less than TO-
900 signatures will have to be Sc
cured to the petitions by January
13. A meeting will be held tomor-
row at which the proposed amend
ment. will be submitted for approval
and criticism.

thence to Wellington and connec-

Testimony introduced at the
hearing showed that coal can be
shipped from the northern fields
and delivered in Denver at an ag
gregate cost to the dealer of $3.50,
said MIR. Hall. This being true, he
said, il can be shown that at $5.25

profit equal to 6Sl per cent on an
investment of S20. 900. sum, he
says, which is more than liberal in
figuring the amount of Investment
made by the average coal dealer.
That the dealers and not the rail-

tion taken by railroad employees.

ton lands. The individual lands
are those owned and upon which
taxes are paid
The small acreage owned by the
state doubtless will prove a surprise
to many people. The state land
board is pursuing the policy of leas-
ing its lands to insure greater in

be made to have the government
cede several millions of acres to the
state and if this is done the state
will be in a position to begin again

the proceeds from the lands ceded
by the government to the state will
be used only in development of

are under way for the opening of
several thousand acres Of land a
few miles east of Denver for the
growing of winter 'emmer' and
other grains for the manufacture

than any other wheat known to
America and will make Denver the
