c. NJ. keck, who will handle the
Overland automobile, announces mis-
willingness to try to get the Overland
dealers in Denver to direct all Over
land ears to take the Tennessee pass
route as they cross the country. John
Mccoy, who handles the Buick, and
r. H. Tucker of the Ford will try to
get the dealers in such cars to follow
the same plan. If this is followed up
and if logs are provided for these Den
yer garages and dealers to be handed
to the autoIsts, considerable traffic
should he turned this way and away
from the Wyoming route.

County Treasurer Smith announces
that for the past year he turned back
in excess fees the sum of $l,O43.46. For
the year 1913 he turned back total
of s2,5s5. Since we have become q
county of the third class the fees have
been lessened which accounts for the
smaller amount to be turned back this
lpast year. Mr.. Smith states that had
We remained in the same class rs for
merly and the same amount of business
had been done in 1914, the excess fees
would have totaled near $4,000 This
is certainly q fine showing for the
treasurer office of this county.
Several requests have been received
the past few days for eolored lantern
slides to be used by lecturers as they
tour the country. These slides cost
about one dollar each if nicely colored.
The parties asking for the slides soy
they have been supplied by Colorado
Springs, Idaho Springs, Denver and
other Rocky mountain tourist points
and want this section represented if
our people care to furnish the slides.
The cost Of the slide il the only ex-
pepse to the people of our city and
doubtless much good advertising will
result if the plan is taken up and ear
ried out.
We are told that every Packard auto
bile which comes into Denver this year
on the way to the Pacific coast will
be directed to come through Glenwood
canon and this city. Local auto deal
ers are taking the matter up with va
rious auto dealers in Denver and it is
hoped to have them follow the Pack
ard plan. 1t is said special effort
in Denver to direct the Ford machines
to come this way OF course, much
depends upon the repair of the road in
Glenwood canon, but we are informed
that everything will be in fine shape
for the travel this season and that all
danger of flooding roads will be elm
mated ere the travel starts.
| Tho roInrado Midland nopvor & Ri ,
Grande, Missouri Pacific, Burlington
and Rock Island railroads have SUBJ
mitted joint brief to the Interstate
Commerce commission in protest aeains:
the closing of the Ogden Gateway. This
shows that the matter is Of far more
Importance than some of our local peo-
lple realize. It is also known that the
states of Montana, Idaho and Utah
are filing briefs and will have repre-
sentatives present to make oral argn-
ments before the commission against
the closing of this gateway through
which thousands of people pass each
lyear as they go to Yellowstone Nation
al park and other points within the
Union Pacific's restricted territory.
