FAlRlAMB WILL APPEAR BE-
FORE INTERSTATE COMMISSION

Millard Fairiamb and others OF the
Western Slope Transportation commit
tee goes to Denver Sunday to appear
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. representing the Western
Slope Transportation Committee. fav-
oring the merger of the Rio Grande
with the Sante Fe railroad.
The citizens OF this section are un-
tied on one thing, that OF having bet
ter railroad transportation. and It is
believed by some that the Rio Grande
could give better service II coupled
onto the Sante Fe. However. there is
some who hold that the Burlington
would do equally as we'll.
The one point in favor OF the Sante
Fe is that OF refrigerators. This road
is said to have an ample supply OF
cars TO handle the immense fruit ship
ments and other perishable and semi
perishable crops.
Whether the Burlington. II they
would come in possession OF the Rio
Grande. would be able to handle the
crops as well is a matter OF conjec-
ture.
The railroads OF the country are in
a most pitiful condition. financially
and otherwise. and only time will tell
what will be the outcome.
The big question with the Rio
Grande is whether they have the abili-
ty to cope with our fast growing pro-
duction.N Additional acres are coming
into cultivation. and little or no atten-
tion. apparently, has been given to
rendering good service.
The Sante Fe makes big plea up
on the ground that they have the cars
and the working capital to handle our
crops. On the other hand. the Bur-
lington makes no public claims what
they will do. yet It is known fact
that this road desires a western out
let and II is said they are heavily IN
terested in Colorado coal fields which
are undeveloped.
It Is believed by some that the Bur.
lington is behind the movement to
build the Moffat tunnel, and make
shorter route to the west and the
east from this section.
What the people Of Delta county de-
sire Is a better transportation system
and whether II is the Sante Fe or
some other road matters but very lit
tie to the average citizen.
Give us service and we will be satis-
fled.
