SIGNS wIll DE PLACED
on RAINBOW ROUTE TO
GUIDE THE AUTO DRIVER

Through the activity Of the Montrose
Motor Club, the Rainbow Route from
Montrose to Sapinero is to be marked
by fourteen signs. These signs are
placed at curves and other points where
the motorist should know the character
of the road ahead of him. They viii
also have the distance from Montrose
painted on them. 1t is said that these
signs are to be placed next week and
that some sort of formal celebration
will be held at the point where the first
board will be placed.
These signs are provided by the I'm
compahgre Chapter Daughters Of the
American Revolution. and are located
and placed under the direction of a com
mittee of the Motor Club, and the coun-
ty commissioners.
Three or four signs of this nature
have been placed ON the Rainbow Route
near the state bridge west of Gunnison,
and Commissioner Gillaspey says that
IT is his plan to place such signs all
along the route between Gunnison and
Sapinero ''as soon as the proper time
comes"
Commissioner Wiley took up the ques-
tion If signs with the Highway Com
mission some time ago. and was inform
ed that the state expected to place uni
form signs along the route with the CO.
operation of the county board.
There are so many curves on this
route that these signs are badly
needed and they should all show the dis
tance from Gunnison. Ii seems also
that all of the signs between here and
the western boundary of the county
should show the number Otmiles to
Gunnison.

COUNTY BOARD HEAR
ulII TAX Complaints
N MEETIMe THIS WEEK

An unusual number of tax complaints
were presented to the board of county
commissioners who met this week as a
board of equalization. As is required
by law the board met for three days to
hear petitions for change in assess
ments. Besides the tax matters, they
took up the regular business of the
monthly session, allowing the bills and
approving the reports of the county
officers.
The board did not take any definite
action on any Of the assessments as they
meet again on the third Tuesday Of the
month to hear further complaints, and
at that time will make their recommen-
dations to the state tax commission
which must take the final action.

The extra rains of the 1914 season has
been unusually favorable to the dry
farmer. and Gunnison county is develop
ing quite a number of these, especially
on the divide between the Gunnison
and Cebolla rivers.
I. 7. Lamoy, who was in Gunnison
Saturday TO purchase reaper, tells a
News-Champion reporter that his ranch
at the Big Spring on the Nine Mile hill,
is going to shell out a splendid crop of
grain. The crop of forty acres of oats
and eleven acres of barley is getting
ripe and the yield is variously estimated
at from 1900 to 1000 bushels. Six acres

on the Polling List Next
..sa Assdss.

The primary election will be held next
Tuesday and the polls will be open from
seven O'Clock in the morning until seven
o. clock in the evening.
Prior to last year, candidates, often
not generally approved by the people,
were placed in the field by the political
conventions of the various parties.
Now the people have a right to say
whom their party candidates shall be,
if they will but accept the right given
to them by the primary law of the
state. Everyone should make an effort
to vote.
A list of the various candidates who
seek the nomination at the primary
election has been published in the News
Champion and the voters of the county
have had an opportunity to study the
situation. On the county Democratic
ticket there are but two contests for
nomination. These are for the offices
Of county treasurer and representative
to the legislature. E. G. Palmer, the
present deputy treasurer, and b. F.
Jorgensen Of Marble, are the candidates
for the treasurership nomination, while
W s. Henderson Of Pitkin, and James

are no contests for the nominations for
the county offices. The Progressives
have placed no ticket in the field. and

All Of the parties, with the exception of
the socialists, have contests in the prim-

CORONER's JURY BELIEVES
VANCE CLOUD WAs MURDERED

The coroner's jury at Montrose has
found that the death Of Vance Cloud,
whose body was discovered last week in
the Dolores river, was feloneously caus-
ed. On account of the decomposed con-
dition of the body, it was impossible to
discover any marks on the flesh which
would Indicate foul play, but after the
evidence had been taken and the mys-
ferrous circumstances surrounding the
death of Mr.. Cloud considered, the jury
was unanimous in their belief that he
had been murdered and his body thrown
into the river.
Certain parties are suspected Of the
crime but no action has been taken by
the officers

The machinery and equipment for the
hydro-electric plant which is being con
structed by T. n. l.. Daughtry and
Company for the Brant independent
Mining Company of Pitkin is now on the
ground and ready for installation in the
new twenty y-eight by forty foot cement
building which is now nearing compile
tion. Mr. Daughtry who is in charge
of the work assured the reporter of the
News-Champion this week that this
plant would be ready for operation
within three weeks. The dam is well
under way and ssout 5000 feet Of pipe
line laid with large force of men rush
ing it to completion.
This plant will furnish power for the
Brant Independence properties and will
also provide power and lights for other
mining concerns who desire it. Ii is
thought that Pitkin and possibly Ohio
City will make use of lights from this
plant The plant furnishes 500 horse
power and the Copper Mountain Tunnel,
the b. |. G M. mine, will only require
rs horse power at present. A transmits
sion line will be run across the hill to
the Camp Bird mine near Bowerman.
The pipe which carries water from
the reservoir is 6, 625 feet long and is of
banded 44-inch wood stave con
structlon. II provides a head of liz
feet, and is fitted at the lower end with
steel "Y" feeder pipe connection.
The water runs into horizontal, double
discharge water turbines, each to give
200 horse power at l10 feet head at 800
revolutions per second, when using 20
cubic feet Of water per second. The
generators are made by the General
Electric Company, and are Of two-bear-
ing water wheel type, $50 X. V. A. 60
