Rock, Snow, Difficulty.

A straight line is the shortest dis
tance between two points. David
Mofrat realized this when ho built the
Denver. Northwestern e Pacific, but
he did not have the money to draw
the straight line. Instead, when he
reached the two-rnile mark in Boulder
canyon he turned his road northward,
up q mountain side. Five times, in
ascending that mountain. the Moffat
road doubles on its own tracks. In
eighteen miles 1t climbs 2Sle feet.
little more than a half mile. In one
place II passes directly under itself.
Foot by foot 1t winds from park to
timber land to the region OF perpetual
snow. When Il reaches Corona, the
summit. the last bit OF .vegeta tion is
this desert except rock, snow and
difficulty. In the winter this means
rotary snow plows. running steadily
and expensively back and forth, 1t
means high operating cost. 1t means
that there were other reasons beside
tho lack OF eastern support to pre-
vent David Moffat from completing
his railroad.
had the eolution, but not the capital.
Newman Erb has both. He is going to
draw the straight line. Instead OF
turning at the two-mile point in
Boulder Creek canyon the new route
of the Denver. Northwestern & Pa
ciflc is going directly on. 1t is going
up that extra three miles of Boulder
canyon, and when 1t reaches the blank
face of the Continental divide 1t is
going through.
Very simple. Only needs money.
Newman Erb is going to furnish
$1,000, 900, and the city Of Denver is
to put up the rest. Altogether the
tunnel will cost s4.ooo,ooo. 1t will
be built on a plan similar to that
which created the subway In New
York Denver will own II and the
Denver Northwestern & Pacific will
pay adequate rent for its use. Other
railways will have the same Drivi-
lege. Thus, the tunnel becomes
more than the convenience of sin
gle private corporation; 1t takes rank
as a gateway to the western conti-
nent.

to do the boring at only two places.
Usually. in the building Of long tun-

earth downward. thus enabling drills
to be operated at four or five places.
The Moffat tunnel will be too far be-
low the surface for this. It Will be
driven by two gangs Of men. one
working from each end. Otherwise.
it could be finished in much less
than the time now estimated-three
years.
When the tunnel Is finished, the
distance between the eastern and
western side of the Continental di-
vide will have been lessened twenty
three miles. II these were twenty
three ordinary miles, 1t would mean
a good deal, but they are twenty

From Receiver to Erb.

Moffat was a creator; Erb is a re
constructor. Ele sits by the shores Of
the financial sea, hauling in the
dream derelicts which have gone 10
wreck. and hitting them out for fresh
voyages TO fairer lands. 1t Is
proverb of the financial work that
railways first go into receivers
hands and then into Ero's.
Several years ago he was mentioned
more than any other man except
Edwin wley-since dead-as the
logical heir, not only to Harrirnau's
place, but TO this railway monarch's
own great dream-a coast-to- coast
railway.
Ten years ago, David Moffat, bank
president, mine owner and Colorado
pioneer. began the railway which was
designed to consume a major part of
crossing the continental divide sixty
nniles west Of Denver, thus shortening
the distance between that city and
Salt Lake City, Utah, by sixty-four
miles.
He had many difficulties. His
greatest was a lack OF eastern affilia-
lions. The Moffat road was a one
man project. When. after throwing
sl6.0o0.0oo OF his own money into 1t,
Mohat came east for additional capt.
tai, he was turned down. Moffat was
too independent, the money trust
couldn't see him. The western man
waited few years until his great
flled the hole In his finances, then
poured in another $40, 900, 900 It car
ried the road over the continental
divide and into Steamboat Springs,
little town PA miles west of DEN
yer. There it stuck. Moffat had
used up his own capital, and the
difficulties before him were too great
TO encourage the small investor

Bamed by Altitude.

The road was too high. There was
not the slightest question that 1t
shortened the distance between Dem
YER and Salt Lake; the trouble was
that 1t cost too much to operate.
Moffat had chosen the shortest way,
hut he had also chosen the highest.
in winter heavy snows made traffic
impossible. The road attained its
highest altitude at Rollins pass. 11,610
feet above sea level and 1900 feet
above timber line-an elevation so
profound that winter reigns there for
virtually twelve months of the year
This was the objection which mot
Mohat whenever he went after addi-
tional capital
Tho Moffat road remained uncom-
pleted. Trains ran only 10 Steamboat
springs. In time its builder died.
His fortune. which had been believed
10 touch the forty million mark, was
s550,oo0- The railroad had eaten up
the rest. Left alone 1t hesitated
from March, 1911, until May. 1912;
then went into the hands OF a re-
ceiver From there it passed on
august last into the hands OF New
man Erb.
Many railways have done the same.
In 1884 Mr. Ero began to take hold
of 'tempest-torn railroads and has

The only important clue TN
e9' thed today in the bandit-hunt-
- industry was the finding of
the gun and watch which were
taken from William Reichert,
motorcycle policeman, on the
South Side a few weeks ago.
They were found in the home
of Nicholas Roster, 654O Justine
street. Roster is the brother-in-
law of Bartell Peter Dorendos,
alias Peter Boor, who. died yester-
day from a wound received while
he and his brother, Albert; now
in custody, were trying to hold up
Clarence McSweeney, police op-
orator.
Roster was arrested. He said
that gun and watch must have
been stolen by Peter Boor, Boor
did not mention this among the
twenty rObDer1eS ne confessed to
before he died.
John T. Taylor, who roomed
with Peter Boor at 1412 Wabash
avenue, was also arrested.
In order to further strengthen
their case against Albert Boor,
the police are searching for Julia
Broke, of Blue Island, whose
name Peter repeatedly called
while hewas dying. 1t is thought
that she may know something of
the robberies.
It was discovered this morning
that Peter would have received a
$4,000 legacy from his parents.
His foster-mother, Mrs. Boor,

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.


Saturday was an ideal June day-a Gay
when the dust of previous weeks was laid
by the downpour of rain the evening be-
fore, and verdure was clean and green.
A fitting day it was for the Sunday school
picnic at Molasses pond, the ten mile
drive being enjoyed by eighty odd people
OF all ages.
Over broad walk to the float, one finds
an outlying feet of nice row boats and a
naphtha launch. Rowing was popular
with all. The sandy beach lured the chill
dren to doff shoes and stockings, and they
waded to their hearts content.
Baseball, quoits and other games in
terested those of larger growth. The
grown-ups enjoyed the quiet retreats
OF the many pleasant hooks among the
trees, the dinner hour finding knots of
friends scattered about the grove with
well-fill ed hampers, and appetites for the
occasion. Eastbrook friends gave the
greeting hand to all.
The homeward drive over the highlands
was fine, the road through that section
being in thoroughly good condition; auto
| mobilists would enthuse over it. The
eastern or western approach from Frank
lin cannot boast OF such perfection.
