"The present distance from Denver
to Dotsero by way of the Denver Il
Rio Grande Western is 342.O4 miles.
By way of the Moffat line, as it is at
present, and the New Denver and Salt
Lake Western, it will be 1921 miles.
This will reduce the present distance
by 1923 miles. The Moffat tunnel
when completed will reduce the dis
tance on that line by 23.3l miles, so
that the total saving in distance be-
tween Denver and Salt Lake will be
1884 miles.
"The completion of the cutoff will
save from one to two days in the ship
ment of transcontinental freight over
the time now required by way of Pu-
eblo. There will be very small
amount of tunnel work on the new
Ene, which will be 41.3O miles long.
Capitalization of the new road, as
shown in the articles of incorporation,
is only nominal
"The road will open a new scenic
region in the heart of the Rockies,
which should attract many tourists,
although, of course, the freight traffic
is Of primary Importance.
"The road, when completed, will be
first-class transcontinental line. Our
surveyors have been at work for sew
eral months, and they include some of
the best engineers in the United
States
Articles of incorporation for the new
railroad, as filed with the secretary of
state in Wyoming, show the incor-
porators to be w. R. Freeman, s. 8.
Meyer, who is assistant to the receiver
of the Moffat road, ae secretary and
treasurer, and R. D. Stewart, who is
chief engineer of the road.
The articles show the capital stock
of the corporation to be 100000, with
fifty-year term of existence, and
100000 shares of stock to be issued at
par value of 81 a share. This, ac-
cording to Freeman, is merely nominal,
and does not represent the two and
one-half million dollars which it will
cost to build the new line.
The filing of plats and surveys for
the new road in the office of the reg
lister of the United States land office
in Glenwood Springs is the equivalent
of the granting of permission by the
government for the right-of way over
government lands.
The two and one-half million dollars
which President Freeman said would
be expended upon construction of the
cutoff represents only the investment
in the construction of the line itself,
and does not represent any investment
in rolling stock.

Road Down Colorado River From Ores.
tod to Dotsero Reduces G|enwood
Denver Distance 173 Miles
READY WHEN TUNNEL IS BORED

Denver, Nov. 1S.-Denver's dream Of
being transcontinental railroad line
was assured of becoming a reality
with the filing with the government
or surveys for the Dotsero cutoff.
Building of this railroad, to be
called the Denver & Salt Lake West
ern, at cost of two and one-half
million dollars will be completed by
the time the Moffat tunnel is fin
ished, according to w. R. Freeman,
president of the new road and now re-
ceiver of the Moffat road.
Articles of Incorporation for Colo
RADIOS new railroad were filed in
Cheyenne three weeks ago. Filings Of
piats and surveys were made in the
office of the United States land office
in Glenwood Springs.
The road, 41.30 miles long, connects
the present lines of the Denver & Salt
Lake (Moffat) road, at Orestod, with
the line of the Denver & Rio Grande
Western at Dotsero, and reduces the
rail distance between Denver and Salt
Lake by 173 miles. Because it will
form the link establishing the shortest
transcontinental railroad Line, it is ex-
pected that the line, when completed
VIII handle q tremendous volume of
tSaffic.
''The road has been completely fl
nanced,' I. said President W. r. Free
man. "All arrangements have been
made for its construction, and it will
be completed about the time the Mof-
fat tunnel is completed.
The corporation whicr will build
the new road is separate and distinct
from the Denver & Salt Lake railroad,
which is now in the hands of re-
ceiver."
Reports in circulation indicated that
the force of fifteen engineers, which a
month ago completed the new survey
for the Dotsero cutoff after five
months spent in the field, has been
transferred to western Colorado be-
yond Craig, and is to survey new
route for the extension of the Denver
& Salt Lake road to Salt Lake City.
Such an extension, if built, would cost
from 80 million to 35 million dollars.
"The new road will follow in n
general way the route of the proposed
Glenwood Springs branch of the Moi
fat road,' said President Freeman
''1t will be different in various as
poets, however, and is a much better
route than the old survey provided for.
"The maximum gradient of our sur
vey is but n OF. per cent. When it
is considered that the road will be
built in the heart Of the Rocky noun
tains, this is really an extraordinary
fact.
"Thc survey provides for the double
tracking of eleven miles of the new
line. We naturally expect heavy
business over this line when it is COM
pleted.
"The maximum curvatures will be
but ten degrees, which is extraordinary
for a mountain road. There will be
but four curves with this curvature,
most Of them being less than eight
degrees.
"Forty-two per cent of the new road
will be tangent line; that is, absolute
ly straight, and without even the
slightest curves.

FARMERS CREAMERY
COMING TO TOWN

1t is now expected that the Farmers
creamery of Carbondale will move to
Glenwood next week, and will have
the machinery installed in the Sheridan
building on Cooper avenue and turn
out big batch of golden butter from
the new location by the end of the
week.
Mr.. Paine has had this move in con-
temptation for long time, but put
ting the new building in order has in
volved much effort and expense, and
has required more time than was at
first anticipated. This will prove
splendid industrial institution for Glen
wood and the entire surrounding coun-
try, and it should be literally patron
lied by the farmers Of Garfield county
There is plenty of cream produced in
the county to support creamery in
fine shape, and after the transfer is
made to Glenwood and the transporta-
tion handicap is lessened, we shall ex-
pect to see the Farmers creamery
more prosperous than ever.
