as ihatd splsyed eplacing the burned
Mefiat shops.
That the Burling on plans Il, soon
commence work upon the construction
of the tunnel under the main range is
Indicated by the fact that all of the
lumber companies operating in the city
of Fraser have recently issued orders to
their cutters to make as many railroad
ties as possible, making the tie business
for the present overbdlance the lumber
business. No orders have been given
for the shipment OF the ties, but it is
the belief in the Fraser community that
they are to be used in the construction
of the temporary tracks to the eastern
and western portals of the Empire tun
mel.
Another straw pointing toward Bur
lingron inierest in Moffat road affairs is
the recent large increase in the number
of Burlington freight cars now being
delivered TO the Moffat road During
r. cent weeks the equipment of that
read brought to the Routt county coal
now averages from so to 81 per cent of
the total number of cars handled. 1t is
obs rived that there is no large proper
ton OF cars from any other foreign
road
Residents of upper Middle park are
familiar with the fact that the Burning
ton some nine years ago made a careful
survey of sse Empire tunnel site 1t
included running the line down St. Ions
creek from the western portal to Taber-
nash, distance of seven miles. This
tunnel will lie only 3.5 miles long. and
proposed James Peak tunnel. the length
OF which woliI Re 6.4 miles.
For 40 years the Burlington has been
considering entering the Routt comfy

that it still owns this right of way,
David Il. Moffat having been given
joint use Of il when he built his rail-
road.
The Burlington caused some prelimi-
nary work of construction to be done on
the Empire tunnel site about eleven
years ago. aitho it was done under cover
of secrecy. A .ptospector" and a crew
of miners were put to work on the east
ern side of the range, above Empire,
the INSTRUCTIONS to the man in charge
being to drive straight in. on the sur
vey line now proposed to be used for
the railroad tunnel This work, which
was paid for by the Burlington, was
discontinued after the turnel had reach
ed a deplh OF 300 feet.
One OF this reasons for the Burlington
not having previously carried out its
plan for entering the Routt county coal
fields was the difficulty presented by
the heavy grade in Clear Creek canon
between Golden and the forks of the
creek. Under the present plan this is
taken care of by using the present Mof-
fat track to Goal creek, west of the
Leyden coal mine and % miles from
Denver, and from there swinging
around to Clear Creek canon and cut
ting out roadbed on its north wall.

THE BERNTUDAS

The Bermuda islands suggest the
colonization and present in their later
chronology curious parallel to United
States history, with the events pre-
dated by a number of years.
The Robinson Crusoe comparison
obtrudes because the island was dis
covered and later settled as the direct
result of shpwrecks, and the settlers
sail again.
AS for the anticipation of American
history on a miniature scale, it may
be noted that the colonization took
place seven years before the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth. Mass; that witch
es were burned, Quakers were perse-
cuted, and miscreants were ducked
before similar occurrences are recorded
in New England, and that slavery was
abolished in 1884. The Bermudans
protested long before 1776 against the
mother country's rule. until the island
prisons were overfull; but relief
came in their case not through dec.
laration of freedom, but by the ac'
cession of Cromwell.
But the essential point of contact OF
the American with the Bermudian
arises from the all-but-forgotten fact
that while the immortal Lafayette gal.
lantiy helped the colonies conclude
their war of independence the Bernu-
dians supplied the ammunition to be-
gin it.
So acute was the need for powder in
1715 that George Washington wrote to
the governor of Rhode Island that mo
quantity, however small, is beneath
notice." Learning that there was q
store in Bermuda, and that the island.
ers were anxious to have the embargo
lifted upon shipment of food supplies
from the colonies, Washington address
ed letter to the people of the island
who had shown themselves sympa-
thetic with the American revolution.
lists, promising them ample supply OF
provisions and every other mark OF
affection and friendship which the
grateful citizens of free country car
bestow on it's brethren and benefac
tors If they would make this amnu
milton available for the Continental
army.
1t so happened that the powder had
been procured before the letter was
delivered, and with 1t the Continental
army compelled the British to evacu
ate Boston.
Not only the sale of the powder, but
the fact that Bermuda allowed the
colonies to have salt, so incensed Its
governor that he upbraided the citizens
for treason. and feeling ran so higf
that he was removed. His successor
was a native of Salem, Mass. whose
loyalty to the mother country was suct
that he gave up large estates in the
colonies rather than join the revolu
tionists. He was connected. both By
blood and by marriage, with the Win
throp family. Under his rule the Is
lands full allegiance to England was
restored.

Hamilton. during whose administrator
