MIDLAND ROADBED
PUBLIC HIGHWAY
Eagle and Pitkin Counties and
Forestry Service To Take
Right Of Way
SPLENDID PURCHASE

There is nothing SO bad but that some
good may come from it, no night 50
dark but that we may catch the light
of an occasional star-if we but look
for it.
For the past few years the people Of
this section of Colorado have waited
with great interest and exniety for the
resumption of activities by the Colo
RADIO Midland Railroad. only to find re-
Gently that all their hopes were shat
,ered and that nothing would be able
to gave the road from the junk pile.
This is the action which we have feared
for a long time was inevitable.
The work of junking the line was re-
Gently begun, under the direction of c.
M. Keck Of this city. The Glenwood-
Aspen branch was the first to receive
attention, and this line being disposed
Of, the workmen were taken to the
main line, where activities were begun
the first of this week.
The county commissioners Of Eagle
and Pitkin counties made an inspection
of the line, and they have agreed to
purchase the bridges and culverts and
right of way of unat portion of the
road which extends across these coun-
ties, from Basalt to Mast, distance of
about 20 miles, for about $500, divid-
ed between the two counties, but the
United States forestry service, through
the district forester, Allen s. Peck, If
Denver, has agreed to join the counties
in this purchase, with the understand
ing that the two counties shall floor the
bridges and keep the line in proper
condition for the accommodation Of the
travelling public.
This is splendid opportunity for
these counties to secure an excellent
and much needed mountain road as only
a trihing fraction of its original cost
In fact, it is said that it cost the Colo
RADIO Midland company $4,000 to
build this stretch of road in 1873,
and inasmuch as this Midland track has
monopolized almost the only available
space up the Frying Pan canon for e
road, it is considered very fortunate
| that the counties now take advantage
OF the present opportunity to secure n
road right of way for a mere song
Now that the two counties and the
forest service are cooperating in this
good move, the people of this sectioo
are assured access to that portion OF
Colorado by n practical mountain road
way This is one of the most beautiful
Of Colorado's scenic drives, and 1T VIII
be a great asset to Glenwod Springs.
Ttesc counties have certainly done a
very wise thing in declaring by reso-
llution that the Midland line hereafter
shall he county highway.
