It showed at intervals on Sun
day and Monday During this
time over a foot of snow fell and
nearly an inch of rain. The
weight on the limbs of the full
leaved trees were such as to break
many of them. The telephone
service was demoralized in vari-
Gus parts of the city by breakingof
the wires, while up Soda Avenue
the main pole was leveled to the
ground thus cutting off practi-
cally all communication with the
southern part of the city. On
Sunday and Monday the Boston,
Colorado company fred up their
boilers so as to turn on steam for
their patrons who subscribe for
heat, although the heating season
had ended the first of the

their heads to recall as heavy a

this was, but were baff1ed. There
had been June and July SHOWS but
Of a mild order compared with
this one of the 10Th and 18TH of

Our great enterprlze has been
practically completed. The Ida
ho Springs Way will be a perma-
nent reminder of the pluck, the
sacrifices, the discouragements
and the faithfully renewed cour-
age of the citizens of Io11-I2.
There remains but one more duty
as finale to the indomnitable
perseverance of the people. This
is a glorious jubilee with a bar
becue, games. music, speaking
and a grand ball in the new thea
ter amusement hall. The latter
would also be fitting dedication
of this hall. We should have this
jubilee and invite the motor clubs
of Denver to drive over the boule-
ward in their machines. It will
advertise the Idaho Springs Way
and at the same time turn the
strea m of auto travel in this di.
reetion. The day should be
strictly cosmopolitan, a day on
which every citizen will feel per-
fectly al home in all the exercises
and participate freely in them.
This has been the feature of the
work and it should be the leading
feature of the Good Roads cele-
bration.

All the business houses on Main
street were closed between 7.3o

spond to the last call for graf
uitous labor on the Idaho Springs
Way. And they did. The morn
ing train with an extra coach was
loaded down to the brake beams
with our citizens while many drove
down in vehicles. They were \
determined set and the way the
rough places were made smooth
was wonderful. Many of those
not used to the pick and shovel
returned with callouses and bis
ters as evidence of their faithful
ness in putting in a big days
work. The spirit of 1911 was
strictly in evidence and showed
that there was no tagging of in
terest nor lack of enthusiasm at
the final wind up. The crowd
was the largest that has been on
the road at any one time since the
the work began. On the train
were 156 while about IS went
down in conveyances. 1t was a
most creditable showing The
road is now in good condition for
automobile travel. 1t will be a
part of the most popular and in
teresting rides in the mountains.
On account of its short distance
from Denver it will prove most at
tractive for owners of autos in
that city to make trips after busi-
ness hours and get back the
same evening if 30 desired. 1t
will be most desirable for them to
bring their eastern friends here
to speud a day or more. The
snow capped peaks of the Cont
mental Divide, lmingled with the
the evergreen spruce and pine,
will be an inspiring scene while
