to Highway Coansca-
ing Pitkin and
Monarch Pass.

Work has been started on the road
connecting Pitkin with the road near
the foot of Monarch Pass. The road
begins on the hill south of Pitkin and
by series of switch-backs climbs to a
bench on the top of the hill. 1t then
winds around Bald mountain towards
Canon Greek.
This new road is being built largely
by the people of Pitkin and vicinity whc
have contributed literally for its con-
struction. They are boosters for good
roads and are determined to have good
inlet and outlet and to encourage some
of the automobile travel to come their
way.
The road is easyily constructed, it be-
ing possible to build from one fourth to
one half of a mile day after plowing.
The material is good for a smooth dur
able roadway. 1t is said that there
will be no grade over six per cent.
When completed this highway will be
one of the most picturesque in the
state.

One hundred and eighty -one are en-
rolled in the summer school at the present
time, and several more are expected to
register before the beginning of next
week. The greater number of these
have come from towns on the Western
Slope, but there is good number from
east of the range. 1t is said that Rifle,
considering the number of teachers
employed there, has the largest repre-
sentation in the school. There are
about fifteen from Montrose and the
immediate vicinity. Grand junction
perhaps has the smallest representation
for the size of the place and the number
of schools in the county.
President James Herbert elley, head
of the Normal School and director of
the summer session, expressed himself
yesterday as being highly pleased with
the outlook. He said that everything
Was developing as it had been planned.

JEWELRY REPAIRING
A Sure Proposition

On February %, 1878, the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company is
sued to Charles L. Railey Of Lexing-
ton, KY, an Ordinary Life Policy for
$4,000 on the Accelerative Endow-
ment Plan. Mr.. Railey was "a years
of age when the policy was issued and
the annual premium was $251.80. At
the time the policy was issue the face
of the policy-$1O,000- not to be
paid by the company except in case or
the death of Mr.. Railey or at age So!
All Ordinary Life Policies, issued by
all companies, contain those condi-
tions, and that is why the average
man objects to them and prefers fif-
teen or twenty pay life. At the time
the policy was issued Mr.. Railey had
the privilege Of using his annual divi-
dends to reduce his premium or to
leave them with the company to be
applied on the Accelerative Endow-
ment Plan and thus convert his policy
into an endowment. He chose the
latter plan and as result on Feb. %,
1908, 80 years after the policy was is
sued, the company paid him SO, ,764.72
in cash, while he was yet living. Dur
ing the 80 years he deposited 1854
with the company. Had he died at
any time after he made his first de-
posit the company would have very
promptly paid $4,000 to his benefi-
ciaries. Don't you think 80 years
gilt-edge protection and the payment
Of S10.764.72 in cash is a fine return
on payments Of $7,554 made in INSTALL
ments? The company has thousands
Of policies of this kind in force. /
would be pleased to give any addition
al information you may desire relative
TO the plan. The company issues pol
icies on acceptable lives at all ages
from Is years to 70. 1t insures both
males and females, and issues them
to be paid up with any number of
payments the assured may elect.

Stevenson's Life.

This city has more than a passing
interest in Robert Louis Stevenson. He
seems to be a brother-in-la,w to the
community, for though he never lived
here he married daughter Of this
city, who yet survives. London Ev-
eryman, in a sketch Of Stevenson re-
calling the popular belief that r. L. S.
died quite a young man, says that he
had a good stretch Of As years, from
1850 to 1894, and that as far as his art
was concerned, there is no broken col
umn to lament. Nobody" says Ev-
eryman, suggests that had he lived,
the character Of his message or his
power Of delighting us would have
been measurably altered. In many re-
spects he is the most clear-marked
message Of good cheer which the last
century boasts. Yet there fingers In
peoples memory of him a vast and
poignant regret as Of one prematurely
cut off, as were Burns, Keats, Shelley
and Byron. Apart from his imperish-
able art, his As years, despite many
days confinement to his prison-bed,
were full enough Of the business Of
life, and the last fifteen years were
years of exile truly, but the exile Of
great sahib. His was, If you like, the
romance of Sir Walter Scott, so many

MRS. COLUMBUS DIScovERER
Wife of Great Navigator Believed
World Was Round and Spurred
Her Husband On.

Why not let the world know that the
love and intelligence of a woman, Co
lumbus's wife. were the inspiring ele-
ments in the discovery Of the western
continents?
AS we get farther away from the day
of discovery we become deeper inter-
ested in Columbus we overlook many
Of his personal faults and grow to love
his sturdy courage. We understand
him better: we are more charitable,
and we eagerly look for a true and un-
disturbed outline Of him who was not
of ignoble parentage but came from
fearless sites.
Historians have made it to appear
that he came from common ancestry,
that he and his kin were plebians.
While this is the general character of
the biographical trend, a few writers
comment on the fact that he had a
relative who was a large land holder,
but beyond this all proclaim him and
his kin of the mediocre sort. Most au-
thors and historians hope by portray
ing the hero "a good boy of unknown,
unhonored parents" to give the char
acter of halo of the commoner type
and thereby invite sympathy and in
terest.
While it is true that Columbus was
poor and that his immediate surround
ings were not of the rich kind, yet that
does not prevent him from coming
from heraldic family.
After search covering II years l can
prove that Columbus was of herald
ic family and that he did have distin-
guished ancestors whose services
were important.
One of the earliest factors in the life
of Columbus and which led to the dis
try was the investigation of his mar
riage to "Felipa the Fair" as she was
known while attending the convent.
Her intention was not to become nun
or a sister. but she was sent from her
native home, PiacenZa. Italy, a COM
munity where many of the family Of
Columbus lived, to a convent in Lis
bon by the name of All Souls Acade
my
The love affair which soon develop
ed between this beautiful maiden from
Italy and the future discoverer of
America forms a most fascinating and
thrilling story and the narrative has
never received that color the setting
deserves. Columbus's meeting Of this
girl had more to do with his finding
America that any score of other fea-
lures in his career: besides it forms
the first basis for concluding that he
was of heraldic ancestry, as develop
ments demonstrate.
The young woman was a devout
student at the convent, bR she gave
some meditation on love. But while
yearning for a lover she was eager in
her studies and was exceptionally in
formed as to geography. This serious
side to her nature was the result Of
fathers influence. Her father was a
man of unusual knowledge Of the
worlds surface, both as to land and

you are wrong, my friend" replied
the autoist digging into his jeans. Il
