The election in Colorado resembles the
famous battle Of Aisne in France. Af-
ter two months of steady fighting. each
side is claiming a victory and each side
is about where it started.
In Gunnison county, however, the re-
pubhcans pulled off quite stunt by
capturing the office of county clerk, a
place the democratic party has held
without loss for thirty years, or
since the organization of county govern
ment. The election of Roy S. Lobdell
as against Deacon Hurley was hard
fought, but Lobdell wins by 200
Probably the hardest fight was over
county commissioner from the third
district, but W. H. Whalen proved him
self postmaster at the art of getting
unexpected votes, and when news came
from Crested Butte that he had receiv-
ed ls2 out of 2l2 votes in his home town,
the republicans threw up their hands
right there. Mr.. Whalen's excellent
record certainly entitled him TO re-elec-
ton, and we shall now see the famous
North Fork road to Somerset and Mar
BILE carried to completion under his man
agement
f.. c. Palmer for treasurer and Pat
Hanlon for sheriff easily distanced their

opponents, winning by good majorities.
i was foregone conclusion that George
Miller for coroner and j. H. Robinson
for surveyor would be elected, so that
the democrats got five of nine county
places. Miss Edith Welch made a
plucky fight for superintendent of
schools, but was against an experienced
campaigner with personal knowledge of
voters, and Miss Luella johnson won
Alex. Thomas resigns on January 1st to
Will Hartman, who will try to satisfy
the taxpayers who thought they paid
more taxes than the rest of US. A sur
prise of the campaign was the very
large plurality secured by W. S. Huma-
son for representative. The split of
the labor vote by the active fight
made by the socialists was largely re
sponsible for this, for McElroy made a
good campaign.
But if county politics are mixed,
what of Colorado? Carlson has defeat
ed Patterson by around 25, 900 plurality,
but Thomas and Taylor are reelected
to congress, and probably Keating and
Hilliard. James H. Teller has defeated
Campbell for Judge of the supreme
court. Fred Farrar, democratic candi-
date for attorney general is elected.

All crossroads in this, and every

this is done the better 1t will be, not

the people of our own county who have
occasion TO make trips into territory un-
familiar to them.
A generous act never fails Of its re-

In many parts Of this. and other

placed sigub1ards and guide posts at the
various cross roads and we should re
turn the compliment. some Of the
principal roads In the county already
have oeen marked bat there are many
important crossroads left unmarked
and the need Of guiding signs at such
places Is great.
In ox-cart days small thought was
given to guide posts. When the horse
crowded the OK from the highways.
guide posts assumed larger impor-
tance. But it remained for the auto
mobile to bring the CROSSROADS sign post
to its full usefulness.
These are the days Of long tours. On
any day one may see machines bearing
the license tags Of dozen states, many
of them distant. The county is criss-
crossed with tourists routes and scarcely
any territory daunts the man behind the
steering wheel. Auto clubs have done
much work IN erecting guide posts, but
the task of properly posting the high
ways. even of single county. is well
nigh endless.

GIANT DRY DOCK WILL
 BE BUILT ON PACIFIC

Washington, Nov IA contract has been made by the Navy Department
 with the Union Iron Works of San Francisco for giant drydock capa- lb1e of accommodating any, vessel which can get through the locks of the Panama Canal is The navy guarantees that it will bay the owners of the dock at least $50,000 a year for six years for the
 accommodation of battleships or oth-
 CT naval vessels at this dock. The navy is to pay a fixed charge a ton for vessels accommodated in the dock.
 but in case Nhese charges for a year
 do not amount to $50, GOO the navy will
 pay that sum. If the navy uses the dock to a cost more than $5o.000 year it will pay the total amount Construction of the dock is to begin will be ready for use within eighteen
 months or two years. The making of such a. contract has for years been recommended to Congress by the
 Navy Department because there is I not enough water in the channel lead ing to the navy yard at Mare Island
 to get the largest battleships into that
 yard, thus making it impracticable for the navy to build a larger dock 1 there.
 Congfess last spring authorized the making of this contract and also ap- propr1ated Tor the dredging out Of the channel to the Mare Island yard. which it is hoped will result event
 ualIy in clearing a channel deep 1 enough for the dreadnoughts.
 With the completion of the Panama Canal the docking situation on the Pacific coast threatened- to become acute, as the present facilities are en- l tirely Inadequate to the needs of the navy The only large dock now avail l able on the west coast is that at the navy yard at Bremerton in Puget lSound.
 It is believed that the new dock vii prove a great advantage to the city l of San Francisco as it wilt be the only l one of it's size north of the Panama I Canal The dock will be 1,090 fec l long, 11O feet wide and w.lI measure 4 I feet over the sil1s.
