by backache almost constantly and
in 1908 lumbago and rheumatism

tablished that would take passengers
up as cheaply as any electric road
could possibly do-at most at s100
for round trip.
With the improvements being made
in Red Hill on the Colorado Springs
road this new Gorge road would put
the Top within 21R hours ride of Colo
rado Springs-even two hours for the
fast drivers, and within or hours
of Denver.
Colorado Springs needs new ~
fractions and the Springs autos alone
would justify the building of the road.
An electric line is by no means es-
sential. But a wagon road is absolute
ly necessary.
Some of the greatest attractions in
the world are reached by wagon roads
only.
hundred thousand people go into
Yellowstone Park every year and it
requires a six day stage ride.
Thousands of people visit Estes
Park every season and it requires a
0O-mlle stage or auto ride.
The chief advantage of the electric
line would be in the advertising. For
it would have to advertise greatly to
make 1t pay.
But we can get a great amount of
advertising from the building of a
good auto road. believe that the ad-
vertising we would get the first year
from this road would be worth more
to the county than the cost OF the
building of the road.
In the first place as soon as the
road is open in the Spring we could
have a great opening. We would in
vite all the automobile clubs OF the
state here and we could get out OF
Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo
alone several hundred, perhaps a
thousand cars each with from two to
seven passengers.
This would bring us a hundred
pages of better advertising than
1t is possible to buy in the biggest
and best papers of the state and ma
ton.
An auto road to the very brink of
the Top OF the Royal Gorge is some
thing the great magazines and great
national dailies would give space to
picture and describe.
So 1 say the advertising the coun-
try would get, II properly exploited.
would be worth in actual cash more
than the road will cost.
And this estimate does not include
the permanent effect OF such adver-
tising nor the great benefit to our
home people, the people OF Canon
City, Florence. East Canon and Lin
coin Park In having this great natural
park opened up so they can use 1t
for their own pleasure.
We have gone on from year to year
without this. but why delay II longer?
If it's worth doing-its worth doing
now.
Why not get the work done this
winter when the Cons" are idle and
can be had?
We not only have the corn. but we
have the cons" to shell it for US.

Many of you have heard this story
no doubt. I heard it many years ago
in a back-woods school up in the
mountains of Pennsylvania. A gen.
tleman visiting the school told it.
A town loafer became a nuisance.
He wouldn't work nor do anything
for himself. His relatives turned him
over to the township. The trustees got
tired of supporting him. He seemed
strong and well but just would not
work or put forth any effort for his
own support.
The men of the village talked it
over and decided that he was too
worthless to support and too harm
less to kill so they would just bury
him alive So he was turned over to
the sexton, laid out in his coffin and
the sexton started off with him over
the hills to the graveyard.
About half way over they met
good old farmer who asked the sexton
who he was burying. He was told the
circumstances-that no one would
furnish food for the lazy man any
more so there was nothing left but to
bury him alive.
"oh, that's too bad-I'll give him a
bushel OF corn" said the good old
farmer.
The fellow in the coffin raised up
and asked, "Is 1t shelled?"
mo, it's on the cob" said the farm
er.
well then drive on Mr.. Sexton"
said the lazy loafer, lying back in an
easy position in his coffin.
Now / don't remember the object
the gentleman had in telling that
story. and I don't remember another
thing I learned in that school away
back up there in Sullivan county. but
I never forgot the story and / have
often seen people and towns (back in
Missouri, of course,) that reminded
me OF the fellow who would rather
be buried alive than to be forced to
put forth any effort in his own be-
half-even to shell the corn that was
offered him.
! firmly believe that nothing could
be done OF equal cost that would help
this town and county so much as the
building of the road to the Royal
Gorge.
We have talked a great deal about
an electric line to the top OF the
Royal Gorge and the great benefit It
would be to the town and county. We
backed this judgment by raising a
bonus OF s25.000 for the builder.
Now as great as that benefit would
be an electric line would give little or
no advantage over good wagon
road. except in the advertising the
road would pay for.
A good wagon and auto road would
attract thousands OF people to the top
of the Gorge every year, and would
make the finest short scenic drive in
the world today.
With the new road 1t would be a
pleasant drive OF only Sk miles. An
hour and a half up and a hour back
This would include going over the
Sky Line drive.

five NOTED MEN
TAKEN BY DEATH
Leaders in Medicine, Drama, Litera-
ture. Architecture and Court Ser
vice Answer Last Summons.

BERLIN. April death reaped a
brilliant harvest In Germany when five
men, each eminent In his profession,
answered the last summons. Dramat-
ic art has lost shining light In Adal-
bert Matkowsky OF the Royal theater
OF Berlin. Matkowsky was mag
nificent interpreter OF Shakespeare.
Goethe. Schiller and other classics.
His William Tell was possibly his
most popular creation.
Medical science is poorer by the
death of Prof. Won Renvers. the great
specialist in internal medicine. who
failed TO survive an operation for gall
stones. DR.. Renvers was only so years
old. but for generation had enjoyed
an international reputation. He was
the personal physician and intimate
friend OF Chancellor Won Buelow. The
death OF DIR. Renvers daughter Is
said TO have unnerved him 10 such an
extent that he never recovered. Frau
lein Renvers was to have been maid
OF honor at the welcom to Crown Prin-
cess Cecilie on the occasion OF her
marriage In June. 1905. The day be-
fore the wedding Fraulein Renvers
operation fail to save her. Suffering
intense agony, she cride from her
deathbed: Father, help me, You've
helped SO many others. why don't you
help me?'
The pitiable appeals Of his daugh-
ter. TO which he was unable to re-
spond, were followed by an attack
OF nervous prostration from which the
specialist had suffered ever since.
Literature's contribution 10 the
death roll was Rudolph Won Gottschall,
the poet and literary historian. who
passed away In Leipsic at the age OF
So. He was best known for his dram
attic productions, his two most popu'
Pitt and Fox" Gottschall's literary
works were the product Of the spirit
OF 1S4S, with which the late Carl
Schurz was SO conspicuously identi-
fed.
In the death OF Count Fritz Perpon'
cher. aged So. Berlin has lost one OF
it's fast-disappearing characters. He
was the last surviving type OF cour-
tier OF the old school having been for
many years Chief Court Marshal OF
Emperor William |. Count Perpon-
cher remained until the last the per-
sonihcation OF courtly dignity. For
years he had been accustomed 10

ly as that of the newest guardsman.

the courtier were In the habit OF fol

The fifth death was that OF Ger

the creator OF modern Berlin so far
as commercial and residential archi'
