But . somehow the moving spirits of Salt Lake never have been able to get started. This pathetic conclusion cannot be subjected to any direct blame. It has been like Dempseys first encounter with Tunney. He worked hard to prepare himself for the man who was to wrest the championship from him, hut, when it was all overwith and his crown had been snatched from him he explained pathetically that somehow he couldnt get started. Prior to the building of the Moffat tunnel the Denver & Salt Lake Railroad was extended as far as Craig, Colorado, where large railroad shops were constructed. Craig is only about 130 miles from Vernal, Utah and less than a hundred miles from the boundary. And the distance from Vernal to Salt Lake City is surUtah-Colora- l Indian do prisingly short. But with the Dotsero Cutoff the line is taken down from the West Portal of the Moffat Tunnel to the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad to a point known as Dotsero, up the track a few miles from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and far from the Uintah Basin. With the Dotsero Cutoff completed would it not be perfectly natural for railroad officials to say: (Continued on page 14) 5,iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiliiiiiiiiii!iniiiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiliiliiliniii Old Mill Club j THE 42-mi- le t-'d- announ- cement which to him spells the actual construction of the Dotsero cutoff.

At the point where the cutoff begins, just beyond the West Portal of the Moffat Tunnel, the great dream of David Moffat, empire builder, fades from the picture.
