RoLLA Z. CLAPP.
The above laconic telegram re-
ceived this morning from Consulting
Engineer Clapp OF the proposed
Southwestern Pacifit railway may be
regarded as the serious commence
ment OF work on this route The
road, which English and eastern cap
ital intend TO build from this city to
San Diego, was to be commenced this
spring. The preliminary survey has
already been completed over practi-
eally the entire route
Secretary Antics believes that the
work referred to in the message will
lie in laying out one or more optional
lines leading into this city.
Mr.. Antics has communicated with
Engineer j. IL. Fisk and the request
ed men will be ready at Mr.. Clapp's
call.
Local people who are familiar with
the development of the Clapp propo-
sition consider II a scheme which has
every indication OF permanency and
success. The route traverses splen-
did country that needs only trans
rortation facilities TO develop its
iron, coal and timber resources. 1t
is the most direct line to the lower
coast and follows an inexpensive
grade throughout.

serves of Utah, Nevada. Arizona and
Califcrnia have already been secured
from Secretary Lane and the exercise
Of options by the holding company

Indicate the financing OF the PROPOSE

that Clapp has ever made on the citi-
zens of Grand Junction is. that con-
ditional deeds be given. to the neces-
sary terminal sites in this city. These
Will not be asked until construction
Is ready to commence and the prop
erty Is reverted Immediately to the
original owner If the railroad is not
built
Mr.. clapp has declared that he will
ask for no bonuses nor will he ask
this city to furnish rights of way for
his line except inside the city limits.
The Chamber of Commerce is close
ly in touch with the matter and in
all probability some decisive devel-
opments may be expected within
short time.
