Golf, Plains and
Canadian Meeting
Last Thursday evening' the Gulf,
Plain* and Canadian Highway Asso
ciation held their regular meeting at
Holly, Colorado, and nearly every
town on the highway was represented.
Tl>e Holly Commercial Club took care
of their visitors in a very courtious
manner and proved to us that they
were certainly a bunch of live wires.
The visitors were taken to the Holly
Cafe where a nice supper was served
after which they were escorted to the
club rooms where they were treated to
real havanas, and best of all, was the
OrcheB'ra selections by the “Harmony
Hounds” who are certainly in a class
by themselves when it comes to music.
The meetin ■ was a harmonious af
fair and proved that everyone was
very muoli interested in good roads.
There were several towns represented
at the meeting from Colorado, Kan
sas, Oklohoma and Texas, some of
them being just a little out of line of
the proposed route that were greatly
interested in getting the highway to
come to their towns and gave their
reasons why they thought the highway
should pass over their route.
The Association is trying to keep
this highway as straight as they pos
sibly can, which of course means that
they can’t all be accomodated with
the road.
The Association has thus far com
pleted the highway from Chappell,
Nebr.. on the north to Stratford, Tex
as, on the south, and the outlook for
reaching the Gulf at this time is very
encouraging and no doubt will be ac
complished in the next meeting or two.
The next meeting will be held at
Holyoke, Colo., two weeks from today
Those who attended the meeting from
here were:—J. W. Shy, V. H. John
son, Jas. Curt's, H. Cheney, Wra
Hollenbaugh, H. Fleming and the
editor.

Graduates C. C. H. S.
Important Notice
To all Graduates of the Cheyenne
County High School. If your
name lias been overlooked and
you do not receive an announce
ment, please take notice.
Dear Graduate:—
We, the class of 1920, are try
ing to start an alumni associa
tion, and would appreciate your
co-operation very much in this
undertaking.
We will plan a banquet to be
held at the Royal Cate in Chey
enne Wells, Colorado; on the
27th day of August, 1921, if
you wish to become a member of
this association and to attend
the banquet, we would 1 like to
have you send us $1.60, which
includes the banquet fees and
the right of membership for one
year. This fee must be remitted
to us by the 20th of August, in
order that we may know how
many graduates will attend and
so that we will have pleny of
time to make the arrangements
for the banquet.
The purpose of the banquet is
to organize the association and
to attend to other matters that
may be necessary. The purpose
of the association is to uplift the
school and to assemble all the
graduates that they may talk
over old school days together.
We understand that others
have attempted to organize such
a society, and they did not suc
ceed, but the school haB grown
much larger since then and it
really needs an association of
this kind, other schools have
it, why no. we?
We sincerely trust that you
will give us your loyal support.
Yours sincerely,
Zelda Jcnes,
Elizabeth Spencer,
Committee.
County Fair Notes
The Colorado State Department of
Forestry has consented to 'place' an
educational display on exhibit at the
Cheyenne County Fair this year, an
item of interest that will be appreciat
ed by all who attend the fair.
Letters coming in to the association
Secretary indicate that the exhibits in
all departinepts will greatly, exceed
any previous year. Unusual interest
is apparent. A very representative
class of exhibitffwill be prepared here
and sent to the State Fair at Pueblo
the week following our Fair, when we
expect Cheyenne County to again give
an excellent account of herself.
Heavy Rains Do
Considerable Damage
The heavy rains of Saturday even
ing and Sunday caused considerable
trouble along the Union Pacific up
near Clifford, and Genoa on the Rock
Island. The west bound Union Pacifio
train Ho. 103, got bs far as Kit Carson
SuAday night when they were ordered
back to Oakley, Kansas, on accouut of
a large number of feet of track being
washed out near Clifford. ' Upon
reaching tbis city they learned that
they could not pass over the
Island into Denver as were their in
tentions on account of this track being
washed away. All the U. P. trains
were then held here until about five
o'clock Monday evening when they
got word that they could then cross
the washout.
