Show LARAPtllE ROAD Will Build Lino Through to the Yellowstone Yel-lowstone Park as Soon as Possible. It Is announced that tbe Denver. I.aramie a Northwestern railroad will be completed and In operation between be-tween I leaver and the Yellowstone National park In time for the Knlnlits Templar conclave to be held at Denver Den-ver In 1013. 'In fact, u statement to ti ls effect is credited to William E. Skinner, treasurer of the road. On the name day that the announcement announce-ment was made that Denver had. secured se-cured tbe Knights Templar conclave, the ofllclals of the Denver, Laramie A. Northwestern met and adopted tho hlosan: "A nlcht's rhle to the Yellowstone Yel-lowstone for the knights without change of train or extra litres." Then the wires were msed and orders were fclyen all along the line that the Rreat national park must be reached by 1113. The road is to be advanced this w inter as far as tho coal fields of Vyomlnir, and construction will bo pushed forward aa fast as possible. May Mean Something, In view of the fact that It Is claimed that the Fnlon Pacific has secured the control of the Denver. Laramie & Northwestern, the completion of the mad to Yellowstone park may be of more than ordinary significance. Not lonR ago the Union Pacific filed with tbe clerk of Laramie county a declaration decla-ration or its Intention to build from n.-ar illllsboro. in Weld county, twenty-seven miles northward, or to a point three miles northwest of Fort Collin. This line is neatly, If not altogether, al-together, identical with th suney of the Laramie road. Whether It is the tame or not, the fact remains that the Union Pacific will build through Fort Collins, and will, In all probability, eventually reach a point near Laramie. Lara-mie. The completion of the road to Yellowstone Yel-lowstone park would of course necessitate neces-sitate Its crossing tho Union Pacific, vhlch will in all probability occur at Harmon, a station on the Union Pacific, Pa-cific, Keveral miles from Laramie. Thus would busilnes routed to the Pacific Pa-cific coast from Kansas, Missouri and the southwest continue to pass through which point it now gor. Considerable Con-siderable mileage would be saved in j this way. |
