VOLUME 2. WANT RAILROAD INTO PARK £hamber of Commerce Hears Scheme of Great Promise. J. B. Hassett of Saratoga Puts Proposition before Leading Business Men of Denver. Denver business men are now becom ing fully aroused to the importance of financing a road into North Park to open up the immense coal fiichls and other mineral resources. Friday night at a meeting of the Den ver chamber of commerce, J. B. Hasset of Saratoga outlined the scheme. Mr. . llasstt wants Denver capitalists to build a railroad from Denver to the North Platte Valley in northern Colorado and i southern Wyoming. He wants Denver capitalists to build a i road into that country over one of two j feasible routes; one by Ft Collins and up i the Cache La Poudre; the other as an off shoot of the Maffat road' Ho considers : the offshoot of the MoiTat road as the ; most feasible route. This may be true ( as far as the first expense of building the road is concerned hut wo beleive that a | much better grade can be made by com ing up the Poudre and over Cameron ] Pass as there is a water grade from the j head of the Michigan in North Park over j Cameron Pass down onto the Poudre as i t proved by a largo ditch that some on . rprizing capitalists built to steal water : from the North Parkers to irrigate land . in the Poudre Valley. The road will | probably connect with the Saratoga & I! LIVERY and FEED STABLE 8 H.

Says the Denver Republican: “From both ends of the line the scheme is being promoted. A largo num ber of the most substantial business men in Denver are keenly interesed, and at the other end, up in North Park, the topic is the vital one of the hour. As evidenco of interest on the part of Den ver it may be mentioned that tne cham ber of commerce referred Mr. Hassett’s speech to the committee on railroad building, of which Gen - Irving Hale is chairman, for further investigation and a report. Also there has just been in corporated in Denver a company with leading Denver citizens on the roll for the purpose of developing Saratoga, Wyo., as a first class resort. Mr. Hasset opened his speech last night with the plain statement that “the shortest way to a greater Deuver is via direct railway connection with the great North Platte valley. In every way lie said, Denver is the logical center to which all the traffic from this rich field ought to flow, and the fact that it has not yet been developed he attributes to the reason that it has not been realized how rich the country is and how much it would help Deuver to tap it. The traffic he said would be both ways Deuver somling factory made articles into the new field and receiving the nat ural wealth of the valley in re turn. So great is the wealth, said Mr. ilasset, that Denver citizens could afford to go ahead on their own responsibility and build the suggested road, and reap the profits from it. Let Denver capital ists form an “Octupus” he said with far reaching tentacies and grasp this wealth, and the profit will bo not only to the owners of the railroads, but also to Den ver as a city, to Colorado as a state, and to the owners of the laud to be tapped. Many mines there are in that territory he continued, which are far less valu able now than they might be with pro per facilities for conveying the ore. Ami the mines are by no means the only as sets. There are mauy townships that might become thriving towns and thous ands of acres of rich lands that would be increased to many times their prasent value. ” WALDEN, COLORADO,, OCTOBER 24, 1907. a School Notes.
