Loveland Foresees Colorado Central a Self-Sustaining Line
Hon. W. A. H. Loveland, president of the Colorado Central, says the line can support itself from local business from Longmont to north of Cache la Poudre. A ditch project between Big and Little Thompson will water 20 000 acres and create reservoirs along the line. Through traffic, salt shipments from Salt Lake, and southern freight to Pueblo are seen as major growth avenues, with the Union Pacific unlikely to fully control the road.

Sitting Bull Addresses Commission in Defiant Speech
The account details Sitting Bull rising, shedding his robe, and delivering a sharp, accusatory reply to Gen. Terry and the commission. He denounces American actions, asserts the country as his, and salutes the British officers with calculated gestures as he declares he will stay among the people and in this land.
