The Arvada enterprise., 1920-10-28

Of many hundred feet lift the shortening of the road
several miles Of Its heaviest grade the elimination Of
the Cumbres Pass, promises them ndequats
transportation outlet which the Rio Grande authorities
mutbiIonaIre New York masters would lead the peo-
pie of Southwestern Colorado to believe that the Pueblo
people Of the Middle and southwest Colorado from
Ing adequate transportation outlet
The undersigned citizens and residents of the West
Slope making this plea to Tom Devne the fnan-
cia masters Of the ralroad world with the hope that
when the state itself without asking their aid. Is
seeking to carry through this constructive they
may at the last moment reconsider and in their
cold. selfish plot for the West Slopes destruction
We call the G. +. LIS special attention to the fact
that In 1914 when through the G. f. Is trouble with
Its own employees, million dollar insurrecon debt was
fastened upon the people of Colorado the West slope
Of this great debt which they had no part in the making
without complaint.
But while plea is plea Of state uniticatIon OF
state development and II to these powerful
financial powers because of the very desperation of
transportation need yet have little hope tnt it will
reach sympathetic ears For We remember that was
the codblooded United Railroad Trust that recently
crushed the little Denver Laramie that blocked to the
gateway, from Mr. Moffat Holland and New
York Bankers after sufficient had been pledged
to build the Moffat Tunnel and to complete the Moffa
road to Salt Lake. We believe that cOll-blOOded
powerful combination controls the bond holders
mttee of the Moffat Road prevents that Committee
endeavoring anything the Aloffat road
from destruction. We believe that that powerful COM
cific passing with Ito transcontinentn line through
Wyoming to the North the Santa Fe and the Southern
Pacific skrtng Colorado to the South shall have rea
competitor. We feel convinced that this mut-blionaire
organization has decreed the unkng of the ofnt ltond
from Denver to Oak Creek and decreed that for all
the only outlet the people Of Northwestern Colorado shall
be allowed is spur line from the Union Pacific. In
W a 70 We bave na that this power
railroad combination as decreed tat the only real out
let Southwestern Colorado shall! be allowed is spur
line connecting with the SanH Fe in New Mexico.
The undersigned citizens and residents Of the West
Slope beg that the people Of the East Slope be not

advertisements not Colorado advertisements They

western. MIddlewcsern and Southwestern Colorado, and
solely In the interests of the great raroad agnaes OF
New York, who have their established ana competing
lines to the North und to the South They have forced
Tom Devne and the C. F. l. to tnke up their cudgel,
not alone because c. F. 4 coal mines the
East Slope but chiefly because these United railroads

State Grange and other Colorado patriot and Colo

We citizens Of the West Slope most earnestly call
the attention of the business Of CanOn City Pueblo
Colorado Springs BOULDER Fort Collins and Greeley to
the fact that they have had the benefit Of having the
State Institutions located In their several Cities
and that the West Slope citizens have most willingly
vIded their proportion the aexs the support OF
these grent state institutions, that have received
upon the West Slope scarcely state funds whatever for
appeal Of sectional prejudice emanang from Wall Street
through the lips and OF Tom Devine, but that you
