One good result seems to have
come from the vigorous fight for the
Monarch tunnel last fall. The eyes
Of the state were focused upon this
route rs necessary to connect the
Western Slope with Eastern Colorado,
and as result, road authorities are
looking toward Monarch or Cochetopa
passes ms the logical route for one of
the two concrete roads, to be built
across the mountains.
Cochetopa is known far and wide as
the lowest pass over the Continental
divide In the state, and has the ad-
vantage by many weeks for early and
late travel. Monarch pass is 65 miles
shorter and both have been surveyed
and made into fine highways, largely
by government engineers. In the end
It will probably be the federal govern
ment which makes the decision, but
Governor Shoup, as the whole thing
in the Highway Commission, is said
to favor the Rainbow Route. As this
commission will have about fifteen
million to spend in the next two years,
such a concrete highway is quite
among the possibilities.
The following interesting article ap-
peAred in the Grand Junction Sentinel
Of recent issue:
A concrete highway from Peub-
10 to Grand Junction, via either
Cochetopa or Monarch Pass and
Montrose-a road that will bring
thousands Of tourists to the West
ern Slope annually-is one Of the
possibilities in the near future as
. result Of the enactment by the
recent legislature Of laws placing
in the hands Of the governor d.
rect supervision oyer road-build-
ing activities within the state.
Governor Shoup, who viii direct
the destinies OF Colorado during
the next two years, Il known to
favor such . road, his plans in
Guiding both . great east-and-
west highway, crossing much Of
the state, and another from the
north to the south.
Governor Shoup favors the immedi-
ate construction Of these two high
ways, the first to extend from Fort
Collins on the north to Trinidad ON
the south; the second from Pueblo on
the east to Grand Junction on the
west.
The first Of these highways would
reach three-fifths Of the population
and taxable property Of the state Of
Colorado, and when constructed would
become the main north-and- d-south

WORD FROM MR.. SMALL.

Col. Lucas of the Seaboard, is in
receipt of a letter from his old
friend, Mr.. J. W. Small, at one time
Superintendent of Motive Power on
the Seaboard. Mr.. Small is now with
the Cuba Railroad Company, at
Camoguey, Cuba. He says in the
letter that his road is building mod
ern shops, but that the condition of
the country is such that development
of the railroad business is slow. The
sugar crop has been gathered, he
says, and the force under his charge
is now much less than heretofore
However, he tells Brother Lucas that
if he will come down a job will be
waiting for him, but Abbeville is to
the liking of the brother.
Mr.. Small asks to be remembered
to all his old friends and extends his
good wishes to them.
