ODD FELLOWS DID REJOICE
Last Saturday Was One of a Great Time
and Many People For Idaho Springs.
The fact that it is a week since the
Odd Fellows capQured the city and again
turned it back to the proper authorities
with many thanks makes the news con
cerning the big day a bit stale at this
time. It would be unfair, however, to
pass the matter without s >me mention in
a general way.
It was the largest crowd of people
Idaho Springs has entertained for some
time, and one of the most enthusiastic.
From the Colorado and Southern records
it is shown that over 400 tickets were
sold from outside points for the celebra
tion. Central City and Black Hawk fur
nished their good proportions for a spe
cial train and Golden and Arvada did the
same thing.
Three bands were pr sent to discourse
sweet music to the people. The line of
march was a particularly attractive fea
ture. It formed about 2 o’clock and’the
people of the city all turned out and
completely occupied she curbs and every
available place where it was possible to
catch a glimpse of the men in uniform as
they marched past.
From nearly every business place a
large sign floated from the breeze with an
inscription of welcome to the visitors.
Across from the depot Chairman Broad
had erected a royal arch of evergreen
bearing the three links and the word
" Welcome. ” Uneer this arch the visitors
all passed in the line of march. It made
Idaho Springs appear metropolitan to see
such crowds and hear the music of the
bands floating down the streets while the
little army marched to measured time.
At the Opera house the services were
interesting and impressive. Chairman
“MOFFAT FINE,” HAS
FOUND A LOCATION
Will Be Built as Rapidly as Capital and Labor Can
Carry It Through to Salt Lake.
Nearly two months ago when it seem
ed as if everything was uncertain as to
where the “Moffatt Line” would be built
Siftings published an article, inspired by
a telephone message from Denver, stat
ing that the line would run two miles
north of James peak, and would build a
spur to connect with Central City.
Many of our subscribers doubted the
statement and insisted that the line
would either pass through Idaho Springs
or go through Yankee and Alice at least.
The official announcement is now made
that it will go byway of Rollinsville,
build a spur to connect with Central City
and pass two miles to the north of James
pea'c. An interesting feature in connec
tion with that portion of it is the fact
that a tunnel will be driven two miles to
cross the range at the point north of the
peak mentioned.
Idaho Springs might as well give up
the idea of getting this line and if, as it
is stated, the Rock Island has purchased
the Colorado and Southern, then it is safe
to go further, as suggested a couple of
weeks ago, and say that it will be a long
time before a main line is sent on its way
up Clear Creek canon.
It makes little difference to Idaho
Springs whether she is made a city on a
main line or not. She has the gold and
silver, the climate, the scenery, the hot
and cold mineral springs and everything
to make her a great mining and resort
city. Whether the line comes or not
makes little difference.
The following from the Denver Repub-
Cadet Committee Visits Again.
Last Sunday Messrs. Sales, Main and
Brown, representing the cadet committee
visited the city again, and were shown
the various camp grounds by President
Birkins and others of the chamber of
commerce. It looks very much as if
Idaho Springs would succeed in getting
the encampment for June. The young
men are greatly pleased with the treat
ment accorded them by the mayor and
council and the citizens last year. The
matter will be decided early next week.

Broad in his address of welcome told the
story of Idaho Springs’ welcome to the
Odd Fellows. Mayor Trat hen was not
expected to make a long address, as he
never does, but he was expected to make
every word reach its destination, and this
he did in characteristically vigorous
style. He told the visitors that he appre
ciated the bonds that bound them to
gether ; that heknewof the broadness of
their fraternal character and of the high
sense of honor begotten by contact with
such principles. As a parting word he
invited them to take everything they
wanted and feel that the city was theirs.
Secretary Van Norman’s address was
full of,fralernalism and recited the his
tory of the great order from the time of
its inception by the great Wildey until
the present time when thousands and
thousands in all parts of the world bow
at the shrine of the great organization he
founded.
In the evening the concert and grand
ball was a brilliant success. The visitors
all had a good time and were apparently
pleased with the generous enterprise of
their brothers in Idaho Springs who had
spared nothing in rnakiue preparations to
entertain them so nicely.
A feature of the anniversary was the
presence of so many ladies of the Re
bekah. From Central City. Black Hawk,
Arvada and the upper end of the county
the representation was indeed good, and
these ladies were well cared for by their
sisters here in the city. Taken in every
way the great celebration in commemor
ation of the eighty-third anniversary of
Odd Fellowship was one of the most at
tractive and best attended that has been
held in Idaho Springs for years.
I lican of Tuesday morning, taken from
the official prospectus issued by Mr. Mof
tatt, tells the story for itself:
"From Denver the line will go west by
as straight a route as possible. It is al
ready built as far as Arvada. The coal
fields of Coal creek will be the next ob
jective point, and grading to this point is
already in progress. The next point on
the line will be Copperdale station.
Thence the line will run through the
northern part of Gilpin county byway of
the Rollinsville pass. A branch will be
built from Rollinsville to Central City.
The line will pass out of Gilpin county
through a tunnel two miles north of
James peak. This tunnel will be 11,000
feet, or a t ifle more than two miles long,
and at an altitude of 9,000 feet. It is es
timated that two and t*pe-half years will
be required to complete the tunnel, there
fore arrangements have been made to
build a switchback as a temporary line
over the peak, to be used until the tun
nel is finished. In Grand county the line
will pass througu Hot Sulphur springs,
thence will proceed over the Gore range
and down the Bear River valley to Steam
boat springs in Routt county. It will
traverse a distance of 120 miles west of
Steamboat springs, in the expectation
that its rich pastoral, agricultural and
coal resources may afford a profitable
local traffic. Thence the line will run
through Uintah and Wasatch counties,
Utah, crossing extensive beds of gilsonite
and the most extensive deposits of hydro
carbons in the world, and through rich,
agricultural sections.”
