Railroad Talk

Some OF our citisens who put "this
and that together and then drew
satisfy ing conclusions, are Of the de-
cided opinion that the recent sale OF
the famous COLON coal mine
property 1t AxIal means . railroad
for this section.
It probably means railroad connec-
lions ultimately, but not in the near
future. There will be no railroad
building until couple Of years after
the close OF the World War. 1t will
take that length of time to get flnan-
cial affairs back to something like
normal conditions again. The ques.
ton ~ TO whether the government
will hold on to the railroads or return
them to private ownership will have
to be settled in the meantime. The
big bodies Of coal which lie between
Mesker and AxiAl could be tapped
by railroad built either from Rifle
or from Wamsutter. Such . road
could be built very cheaply; but, -
we have said. nothing will be done
until after the war.
