OPENING INDEPENDENCE
PASS NEXT SUNDAY

Lions clubs of Leadville and Aspen
will hold a get-together picnic at the
top Of Independence pass next Sum
day, August 31st, to celebrate the
opening Of this new government
highway across the continental divide,
connecting the Arkansas and Roaring
Fork valleys. It is a new route to
Western Colorado and will doubtless
be used more than Tennessee pass
road as soon as its wonders are fully
realized. It follows in part the old
Midland roadbed, using the abandon-
ed railroad tunnel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rufe Sarson will rep
resent our city, leaving here Sunday
morning for two weeks vacation, az
their trip will extend to Aspen and
other points where they formerly lives;
in the northern valleys.

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OF PROSPERITY

How many OF US in thinking Of a
railroad attain a clear conception Of
its wonderful utility as a first aid to
business? Do We not all too frequent
ly accept it as a matter OF fact
mere carrier of persons and property :?
The truth is that there is no single
factor OF greater potency in the main
tenance of our business structure
than an efficient railway system.
The general prosperity OF the last
two years has been UNNECESSARILY
heightened by the efficient handling
Of freight, lately more than a million
cars a week; this quick transportation
making possible a fast turnover Of
commodities, more sales, and conse-
has contributed to liquid credit, thus
making it easier to do business, and
has resulted in better collections by
reason OF quick deliveries.
The Continental and Commercial
Bank Of Chicago. in its bulletin of No
vember 10. says: Fears of Fall
freight congestion that were voiced
IN the spring nave proved entirely uE-
founded. Moreover. the efficient
handling OF freight has helped to keep
credit liquid by making turnover more
rapidly. Bank credit has not been
tied up or frozen thru traffic conges-
ton. The railroads have not been and
viii not be a drag on business. II
they are not hampered by radical
legislation, they will help business
both by moving goods efficiently and
by continuing to place equipment or
ders."
These facts, in no uncertain terms,
speak for themselves. Credit TO
