The Holly chieftain., 1920-10-28

the cumbres Pass, promises them an adequate
transportation outlet which the Rio Grande authorities
have long recognized necessity, Devine his
mut-bionaire Ne" York masters would lead the peo-
pie Southwestern to believe that the Pueblo
jobbers have also joined conspiracy prevent
people of the Middle and Southwest Colorado from secur
ing an adequate transportation outlet.
The undersigned citizens residents of the West
Slope making this plea TO Tom Devine the finan
now when the itself without asking their aid is
Seeking to through this constructive they
at the last moment reconsider and in their
cold selfish plot for the West Slopes destruction
We call the c. f. & LIS special attention to the fact
that in 1914 wlen through the C. F. Is trouble with
Its own employees million dollar insurrecon debt was
fastened The people of Colorado, the West Slope
citizens universally loyal their portion
without complaint
But while Plea is plea of unification,
financial because of the desperation of
transportation need have little hope that 1t will
the blooded United Railroad that recently
crushed the little Denver Laramie hocked the
gateway tore from Mr. Moffat the Holland and New
York Bankers after sufficient had been pledged
to build the Moffat Tunnel and to complete the Moffat
road to Salt Lake We believe that same cod-booded
powerful combination controls the bond holders
mittee of the MOfat Road and that Committee
from endeavorng to do anything to the Moffat road
from destruction. We believe that that powerful
blnaton In New York determined Inu the Union Pa
cific passing with its transcontinenal line through
Pacific skrtng Colorado to the South shall have no real
competitor We feel convinced that this multibionaire
organization has the unkng of the Moffat
from Denver to Oak Creek and decreed that for all times
the only outlet the people Of Colorado shall
be allowed is a spur line from the Union Pacific in
wyoming, down to Craig, a short line from Craig
to Oak Creek We believe further that this powerful
railroad combination has decreed that only
let Southwestern Colorado shall be allowed is spur
line connecting with the Santa Fe in New Mexico.
