All roads lead to Grand Junction, we have always said and believe it now more than ever. The Moffat road will be built to join the Denver & Rio Grande at Dotsero or at Wolcott, the through trains of the Rio Grande running through by the Moffat road to Den ver, doing only through business. Road what the Denver Times says of the new arrangement and then see if you are not a believer in the say ing that all roads lead to this city. The Denver. Northwestern & Pa cific has recently purchased the right of way for a connection with the Den ver & Rio Grande in Eagle countv, Colorado. It is considered an au thentic indication that C. K. Dur bin’s prediction before the Chamber of Commerce that the Denver & Rio Grande would come into Denver over the Moffat road came from an official source. The most surprising part about the transaction is that it is the Denver, Northwestern, & Pacific and not the Denver & Rio Grande which has obtained the right of way the en tire distance from Grande county to the connection in Eagle county. This right of way does not touch Route county at all. It starts at the top of the range east of Hot Sulphur Springs and goes down the Fraser valley to the Grand river, down the Grand river through both canons to a point in Eagle county. The right of way was surveyed and mapped out in 1888 and 1889 by the Colorado railway company, a local cor poration. the stock of which was owend by the Burlington. It has been known for some time that the Moffats road was using some of the Burling ton surveys, as no attempt was made to keep it secret, and it was not gene rally known that this particular route leading from the main line down into Eagle county had been obtained.

This official conveyance of it to the Moffatt road was recently inode in Grand county and ilow it stands on the records as the property of the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific. The right of way would permit of the construction -of a cut-off from Kremmling. on the Moffatt road, to Wolcott or Dotsero, on the Rio Grande, and would give the Gould road a straight entrance into Denver without the necessity of the big loop down by ) way of Pueblo. Only about 80 miles t of construction would be necessary to i make the connection between the two : roads and if built at once would open part of the Moffatt road for transcon tinental traffic a year and a half be i fore the line to Salt Lake is complet • ed. Mr. Moafftt in outlining the pol ■ icy of his road, said that lie would be open to all other lines and that any road could run its trains over the Den ver, Northwestern & Pacific. He stat ed it as his belief that such a policy was the only kind to be followed in ■ these days. The presence of the Gould repre • sontatives in Colorado so frequently i of late has caused various reports of • what they were figuring upon. It is l not known whether these visits had anything to do with the opening up • of a main line through Denver or I not. Mr. Gould made a sudden visit i to Colorado, accompanied by his vice president aud general manager, Rus • sell Harding. A few days later the i head of his financial interests, the > head Qf his legal department aud his p personal representatives came to Deu < ver, presumably on a visit, aud ,now > comes the announcement that Vice I President Russell Harding is coming here to spend a week. Few people will 'believe that these , visits just happened aud that there is • not some object fruther than yet an nounced behind thorn. Dr. King treats - i urer of the Missouri Pacific, stated i that the extension of the Missouri Pa cific into Denver would not take place until after the work in Arkansas and Missouri was completed. If it is the intention of the Rio Grande to come into Denver over the Moffatt road, there is little doubt that the main line of the Missouri Pacific would strike Denver about the same time, as there would be little advantage gained without the eastern outlet.

The Ladies Emporium is this sea son doing the best millinery business it has ever known aud is better pre pared to please all customers than ever before*. Wednesday night at the Park opera house there will be a very funny show. The work is on the order of trick and farce comedy and is said to make even the most critical laugh till they forget to criticise. The retiring officers of the present city administration are J. M. Sarnpli ner. mayor: Lorin Staley, city at torney; C. B. Rich, treasurer; John Allison, marshal; John G. McKin ney, water commissioner; Truman Ketchum, clerk. All the aldermen retire although several succeed them selves, as does Mayor Sainpliner and Treasurer Rich. George Smith and C. W. Steele ad dressed a large number of citizens of Palisades at the Town hall at that place on Saturday night on Mr. Smith’s project for the construciton of an electric car line through the valley. Several speeches were made by various members of the town board aud there was considerable enthus iasm. Before the meeting adjourned, a committee of three was appointed to take steps to secure the right of way. The legislative committee of or ganized labor in the state in their check upon the members of the recent state legislature, have the following to say about the member of the lower house from this county, a. B. Hoyt. “Ho said he wanted to be fair. If so, his prejudices were too strong for him to succeed. He belongs to the most conservative wing of his party. Thinks it unfair to ask anti-election pledges. ’’ In the review of the mem bers of the senate Hon. Horace T. DeLoug was not named, possibly because he was a hold-over and something might be expected of him in the future. DANGER OF DIVORCE. Washintgon, April 19.—“ The Jews are preserving the home and family better than we Christians are doing. I do not know who to account for this but I know it to be a fact.’’ Bishop Samerlee of the Episcopal church made this declaration in a ser mon here tonight, in which the main object of his discourse was divorce. “Men,’’ said the bishop, “are losing rosjiect for the home and caring less for the farnilj the unit of our civili zation. On the shoulders of our hus bands and fathers of the laud rests the responsibility for the low estate to which the family has fallen in this country. This fosters aud encourages the greatest, curse of the land —di- vorce—aud the loose manner in which the sacred marriage vows are kept. “The great evil, the most frightful danger, of our age is divorce and the breaking down of the family institu tion. *’ said the bishop. “If it is not stopped the women of this country and our race will be degraded within fifty years. ’’ WOMAN’S CLUB. The Woman’s club will meet to morrow with Mrs. J. H. Ramey. The following program well be given: German history. Modern German Scientists— 1. Ernest Haekel, Mrs. Wilson; 2. Prof. Loeh, Mrs. W. M.
