FLORENCE
| IS ASSURED
new DEPOT
RIO cRANoE RAILROAD COMPANY
TO BUILD A HANDSOME NEW
STRUCTURE THERE DURING
COMING YEAR.

The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
company has announced New Years
present for Florence in the shape of
a handsome freight and passenger de-
pot, to be erected during the next
twelve months. The promise of the
Improvement was made in a letter
from Division Superintendent Miller
of Pueblo, who enclosed blue print
OF the railroads yards there. on which
was designated the probable location
OF the proposed new building.
Superintendent Miller stated in the
letter that the plans for the new
depot are being drawn and that II is
the intention of the company to begin
construction work as soon as the de-
tails have been worked out and the
weather Is favorable for building OPP
erations. which in all probability will
not be until spring. At any rate. ac-
cording TO Superintendent Miller's let
ter. IL has been definitely decided by
the company TO give the people OF
Florence new station during 1917.
and II Is not likely that the matter
will be delayed any great length of
time. for IL Is as much 10 the con-
yenience OF the company TO have safe
and conmodious place in which to
handle its rapidly increasing business
as IL Is for the patrons Of the road
II Is understood that the company
has entirely decided upon the ques-
ton as TO whether OF not II will main
tain two separate stations for the
freight and passenger business. but
the fact that the freight business is
increasing SO rapidly will no doubt
cause them to decide in favor OF sepa-
rating the departments. which woui,.
certainly be more satisfactory TO the
people OF Florence who transact bus
mess with the road.
While nothing definite Is known
concerning the plans for the new Flor
ence station. Il is generally reported
in Pueblo that IL will compare in beau
~ and convenience to the handsome
structure AT Canon City. but probably
not 40 large. IL is planned TO build
the passenger station at the end OF
Pixies Peak avenue and 1t VIII face
Railroad street. A more convenient
location could not be chosen. for IL
viii beautify the section and can be
plainly seen from intersections Of the
principal business streets of the city.
The blue print shows the location OF
the freight depot just west of the sec
tlon house. II these plans are carried
out II will mean the removal Of the
old house track north of the present
depot and viii afford an opportunity
for otherwise beautifyins the sur
roundinRs with park.

that with wheat at So or 1920 a bushel

which takes into account conditions pre-
vailing upon the average western farm.
AS he is highly esteemed as an in
structor and expert, his testimony is
having serious attention at Washing
ton.
These figures, of course, represent ex-
treme cases. Not many farmers are to
receive 1920 and 80, the prices fixed at
primary markets for this years and
next year s crops. 1t NAV cost some
farmers more than 70 cents bushcl to
raise wheat; but the value of their
grain at the point of shipment will be
SO much ins excess of Prof. Call s esti-
lnnate of 40 cents as lthe average cost
tot wheat production and so much larger

The house of representatives has
tossed another $7,000,000,00O into the
war pot. Not voice was lifted in
dissent. Congress is getting unanimous,
which is as it should be. These dol
lars are not to be turned into plough
shares and pruning hooks, but into big
and little guns, into bullets and shells,
and other things needed to put Ger
man militarism off the map. This war
appropriation bill was the largest meas
ure of the kind in American history.
OF course it was. The American peo-
pie are in the biggest thing they ever
undertook. They are going about it
in a big way. They are not going to
send their soldiers over to Europe to

guns. They shall have the best there
is, for seeing it through, that money

sentatives looks very good to us.
