In consultation with other citizens |
Messrs. J. A Sicele aud B © Bar. |
leti, president and secretary of the
prelinary good ronds orgasizaiion
formed w month ago. have decided v
call another wase meeting of bl
Grunins i county citizens inlereste d
10 the road dea They feel that the
brst mevting did not form as organ
zation dehiote enongh and colies ve
enough for she big work abhead
e übjecis of the association showid
be clearly set fomth By laws for
the guidance of s otheers should be
formulated An execative commt
tee 1o be appointed from other county
pornts showld be arvanged for, w 0
work with the officers, whoever they |
wmay be And most important of all, |
provision must be made for securing
funds, 1o carry on the work
So a meeting s called for next
week Wednesday wight, July 120 k,
ot the eourt house. Be sure 10 be
there, Mr Good Roads Lothusiast
Thie 18 oue of the biggest things we
have on tap. The automobile travel |
across the continent s increasing |
marvellously. Recently the “Path |
finder car” from St. Louis went over |
the Glenwood route, and negotiated |
the road after a hard struggle. A
party of ten or twelve autos has |
staried from Altastic Oity, N. J i
will reach Deuver about the 14uh, |
and is spying out a road for 1915 ’
W._ R Hearst, the great New York |
editor, proposes to advertise exten- |
smively the route decided wpon hy'
this party and guarantees 2 (XK) autos
10 pass over it in the one season of
1915. It is probable the number
will be nearer 5,(00). Already Glen
wood Springs boosters have arranged
to have a representative meet this
party st Omahs 0 urge the Grand

County Thareughly Weat
If there was any dry territory in
Gunnison county after the rains of
the week, we have yet to hear of it
For five days the down pour con
tinved. Crops everywhere, have re
sponded and the vegetation seems to
be leaping into the air. We already
had prospect of the largest produc
tion on record for this section, bat,
especially with the grain and the
grass upon the range, these heavy
rains will help amaziungly
The advantage of rainfall is that
it carries air with moisture into the
soil and leaves the earth open and
porous Clopious irrigation must be
followed by cultivation or soil is in
clined to pack, and become hard and
heavy. o
Four Hundred Feet of Grand Stand
A new and verv desirable feature
of Cattlemen’s celebration this year
will be 400 feet of grand stand, 200
on each mide of Main street in the
two blocks south of Dr. Sanford’s.
1t will be covered, and the street en
closed with a bull tight fence, 8o that
all sports, like the gate race, and
bucking contests will be in the en
closure with spectators comfortable
and safe There will be a judges
stand and races will be ran up Main
street, instead of down, making it
much easier for the horses. All con
tests of every kind are also to be
held in front of this grand stand.
Thie is one of the very desirable
improvements the committee 1s mak -
ing for this 1911 celebration. And
it is one which will help draw the
crowd, for every fellow will know
that he can now ve comfortable and
see everything that goes on. Also
it eliminates the danger. We have
been extremely fortunately in the
way of accidents at our celebration
and the intention s to quit running
risks while our credit 1s good.

Short Routs Over Blue Mesa.
Archie Carpenter, was over fish
g this week, and wlls us the Salida
folks are heartily with Gunnison for
the Rainbow Route He advises us
that there is a short cut over Blue
mesa. By erossing the river unear
Sapinero and keeping around on the
tirst bench to Curecanti Needle, one
can follow the original Mormon
wagon road, now almost obliterated,
into the valley of the Blue. He de
clares this is a feasible road and will
save 25 miles. It might not save
that much, but would surely save
fifteen or twenty miles

| within the last week. One of these
18 the state museam to be located at
Denver. the other is the new Shubert
theater at Denver. The first con
tract rans more than SIIO,OOO,
while the theater job will run about

| The state museum is to be a very
handsome building, constructed en
|tirely of the famous Yale marble.
|lt wall mot be very large, of course,
'but the architecture will be of the
| finest, with outside columns and in
| a smaller way comparing favorably
:-'nh that other magnificent Denver
| building—the new postoffice. De
|liveries of marble for this work are
'to begim in eight weeks, which
means that the building 1= to be
lelmd at once.
The Shubert contract is for marble
to be used in the interior This
theeater is to be the finest in Denver.
