WORK SOON ON
MIDLAND HIGHWAY

Colorado Springs, Feb. 14.-Work ON
the transformation of the right of way
of the Midland railroad into q state
highway penetrating some of the most
beautiful scenery in Colorado, will be
under way by summer, according to
Charles B. Lansing, road commissioner
for the fifth district. Parts of the
road cannot be used, it was stated by
the commission when it accepted the
gift to the state from Spencer Penrose
and A. E. Carlton, but some sections
can be taken over advantageously.
At least thirty miles of the road.
ways can be used, according to B. A.
Briggs, assistant superintendent Of
maintenance; Ernest Montgomery, di
vision engineer, and George Davis, q
locating engineer of the state highway
department, on their return from .
two-day preliminary inspection trip
over the thirty-mile stretch.
The Midland right.of-way from Di-
vide to Lake George, through Eleven
Mile canon to Idlewild, thence to How.
bert, is considered the "key" stretch
of the roadbed presented to the state
by the owners of the defunct Midland
railroad.
The inspection trip was made at the
request oqf the state highway depart
ment with view of ascertaining the
feasibility of using this stretch Of the
roadbed as state highway, probably
in place Of the unimproved state road
west from Divide owe. wilkinson pass,
whore the grades are in places as steep
as IA per cent.
'We were well impressed with the
physical features Of this thirty mile
piece Of road, and the possibilities Of
making it into an improved highway

at comparatively small COST" Mr..

Denver, Feb. ia tentative deci-
sion has been reached by the State

ceive federal aid under the provisions
of the new federal road bureau, ae-
cording to an article which will appear
in tomorrow mornings Rocky Noun
tain News.
Although the highway officials re.
fused to divulge the plans to be passed
on by the United States bureau of pub
lie roads, the article states that tho
conditions demand three interstate
roads, one north and south from Wy
oming to New Mexico, and two east
and west from the eastern boundary
to Utah.
The tentative plans are as follows:
The north and south highway will
intersect the two east and west roads
at Denver and Pueblo.
1t will extend from Cheyenne, Wyo.,

following Colorado points: Greeley,
Fort Lupton, Brighton, Denver, Castle
Rock, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Wal
senburg and Trinidad.
The most northerly of the east and
west routes will include Sterling, Fort
Morgan, Greeley, Fort Lupton, Bright
on, Denver, CRANKY, Hot Sulphur
Springs, Steamboat Springs and Craig.

MILLIONS ARE TO BB
SPENT ON RIO aRANDE

Denver, Feb. 11.-Joseph H. Young,
president Of the Denver & Rio Grande
Western railroad, announced yesterday
that 100000 will be spent in i'm
proving the road, if the plan for fl
nancing the railroad, proposed by the
Western Pacific interests, is adopted.
The money will be used to put the
roadbed in first-class shape, and to fur.
nish new equipment, he said. Work
will be started as soon as the plan is
according to Mr.. Young.
The branch lines, running from Salida
over Marshall pass to Montrose and
from Alannosa over Cumbres pass to
Durango will be repaired and equipped
with new rolling stock, said Mr.. Young,
who, incidentally, put at rest rumors
that these two roads were to be broad

FORD WILL NOT
MODIFY ORDER

Washington, Feb. 13.-The efforts of
the house military committee to exact
a pledge for the manufacture of fer
tilizer during the hundred-year life of
the proposed contract of Henry Ford
for the purchase and lease of Muscle
Shoals. Ala, failed today. W. 4
Mayo appeared before the committee as
the personal representative of Mr.. Ford
and declared that the Detroit manufac-
turer was not willing to modify his
offer in any of its existing provisions
unless it was to clarity the language,
but not to alter the plan itself.
Committeeman also failed in an at
tempt during the examination Of Major
Burns, chief of the ammunition division
and Of the arms ordnance department,
to adjust the differences of opinion
between the ordnance officer and Off
cials of the judge-advocate's . office,
regarding the Warrior power plant.
Major Burns insisted that an exist
ing government obligation had been en-.
tered into to sell that property to the
Alabama Power company OF remove it
from the ground. He declared it could
not be sold to Mr. Ford as q part Of
Muscle Shoals unless the government
violated its contract with the company.
Officers of the judge-advocate' de-
partment have said that the contract
was non enforceable.
The Glenwood post., 1922-02-16

settlement was very pleasing to both
sides. The commission admitted owing
the county $2l,250 and the county
confessed an Indebtedness to the state
of $27 400, after a credit of $4,000
had been allowed US.
With this understanding the rest of
the negotiations proved to be easy,
and the county will pay the state at
the rate of $4,000 month, beginning
with March, until the indebtedness is
cancelled.
AS part of Mondays negotiations
the commission accepts and approves
the work on the Elk creek bridge and
the Lacy hill retaining wall which the
old commission authorized and which
they suggested should be paid for out
of bond moneys. The fact that the
new commission consents to this ar
rangement and contract with the old
commission and the fact that the con-
ference ended so satisfactorily in
every way should be a matter of con-
graduation on the part of our county
commissioners, but also every taxpayer
in Garfield county. 1t means that the
state pays for half of the work on the
Elk creek bridge, the Noname bridge
and the state bridge at Glenwood and
the Lacy hill retaining wall, and by
removing any controversy will insure
Garfield county in the neighborhood
of $2s,000 in state money during the
coming year for road purposes.
This is big victory for the people,
and one Of the most important trans
actions of the county board for some
time, and rebuke to those who would
hinder and minimize their efforts along
road building lines.
Although Commissioner Mccoy could
not attend the Denver meeting, he met
with the other commissioners at the
court house Wednesday and ratified
the action of his associates, and all the
commissioners feel very much gratified
at the final settlement Of the unpleas-
and dispute.

DAIRY COW IS
BANKERS FRIEND

The dairy cow, in the opinion of l..
b. Carroll, cashier of the Greeley Ma.
tional bank, in addition to being
without peer as a machine for the
production of food for mankind" is
the real friend of both the banker and
the farmer. Writing in the January
number Of the Great Western Sugar
company's publication, Through the
Leaves" he pays high tribute to the
dairy cow as the guarantor Of fin&n-
cial success on the farm and urges the
purchase of a few head Of good mixers
by every farmer, so that he may cater
to steady market with product
which never oversupplies the demand.
"In the COW ON the farm the banker
has his most helpful ally in his efforts
to finance the agricultural interests in
his particular community" he says.
"As the number Of cows on the farm
increases, just in that proportion will
the credit demands on the merchants
decrease. The man with the COW pays
as he goes and is the most coveted
farmer customer at the country store
and the village bank. He il independ.
ent and dependable, and almost without
exception represents the best in every
line Of worthwhile endeavor in his
community. Instead Of large bill for
groceries at the store and note at the
bank for other necessary farming ex-
penses starring him In the faee at the

MONDAY EVENING CLUB MEETS

The Monday Evening club enjoyed
the first meeting since the holidays
Monday evening at the home Of Dr.. G.
A. Hopkins on Bennett avenue.
DR.. Hopkins paper was on the sub
ject of Chemistry as Related to HUI
man Welfafe," and was most inter
esting one and dealt largely with the
strides which chemistry has taken in
the United States in the past few
years, this advancement being due to
the world war, which was . blessing
in the respect that it forced the United
States to rely on her own resources
for dyes and many coal tar products,
which she had previously imported
from Germany. The war has made the
United States entirely Independent of
Germany, and these chemical prooucts
may now be secured at a much bwer
price than before, which is = great ad-
vantage to the medical and commercial
world.
The discussion Of the paper was
conferred around the commercial side of
the question, and many important
phases Of the subject were brought to
the attention of the members.
Two new members, ]. o. Stanage
and j. F. Gregory, were taken into the
club, and John Hopkins was visitor.
Mrs. Hopkins, assisted by Mra. yehn
Hopkins, served delicious lunch to
the members and their wives.

Gated from Divide westward, and to
abandon it as state highway would
mean great loss to property holders.
"The grades are low, the maximum
Of S.2 per cent being just west Of Di-
vide. Through Eleven Mile canon, be-

Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, March 17-Friend end
foe of conference treaties-Underwood OF
Alabama and Borah of Idaho-jointd in
the Senate today in demand for the
immediate return of all American troops
now stationed on the Rhine
Borah declared the continued presence
of American troops on the Rhine. at con
stantIy increasing cost to Germany, was
helping to retard the economic recovery
of that country.
There is no longer any justifation for
keeping a large body of American troops
On the Rhine" Borah said. "Their
presence there is calculated to irritate
rather than pacify the European situa-
ton, which Is fraught with grave pos
sibilities not only to all Europe. but to
ourselves.
Il trust the Administrations efforts
will not be confined to trying to collect
S241 .OQJ, 600 which it is claimed Germany
owes us for the maintenance Of Amer
lean troops on her soil, but will be di-
rected to bringing these boys home"
There is no reason, in my Judgment,

therefore entitled to receive its share of

serve peace in Europe.
