The opportunity TO give to this body
at this time, a report of the work Of the
Educational Advisory Board of the
Colorado State Normal School is ac-
cepted with pleasure and strong sense
of privilege.
The purpose of the board as defined
by its constitution is TO cooperate with
the faculty in all activities pertaining
to the welfare OF the school especially
in the personal work with students who
are supporting. assisting in placing
them in homes where they may reduce
their living expenses b. assisting with
the household tasks.
But by far the most vital work Of the
board has been the establishing of a
loan fund through which worthy. self
supporting students of the school are
given an opportunity to avail themselves
of its educational advantages TO develop
their latent possibilities and to fit them
for more efficient service to humanity.
Happy is the land that has no his

apply to the creation of this fund for

Gentlemen:
For some time | have had II IN

road building proposition west Of here
IN the Muddy country. may be hit

but | believe in being to the front Of the
procession rather than travelling IN the
dust behind the wagon.
Your paper has been about the only
one that has persistently talked ROADS
to help out our end of the county. l
am quite familiar with all Of the Muddy
country, so ! am not talking at random.
understand that many of the best
locations ON the Muddy have been filed
on. Some Of our people here ] believe,
would like to hook up land over there,
but q man with family is simply bsr-
red out on account of the expense in
getting there. Settlers from the Grand
River Slope have 9 road from Colbrsn-
way crossing from Buzzard Lake onto
the head Of West Muddy. From Paon,a
they have q road up Hubbard creek,
crossing over to the two Muddys.
From Somerset they have . good road
to the Adams ranch and from there .
new road up the Muddy, and from Mar
BILE and Redstone we have q very poOr
trail to cross over the Mcclure hill 10
Crystal River.
1t is an expensive proposition, - !
said before, for . msn to take his fs0i-
~ and outfit by rail via Grand Jsnctisa

you strike the Muddy and wagon road
Ii is about three and half miles across
the hills with shout three gulches te
cross. No rock work but plow enc
scrsper and one steep pitch or hill wher
you leave Lee Creek. Most of the
work on Mcclure hill, believe, can bs
done with the plow and scraper. What
bed rock there is is sandstone. A good
grade can be had up the hill and that is
what we want and not $50, 900 trai
like the one from the lake at Marble to
Galena park.
That is the outline Of our road as
have roughly laid it out. If the county
will help US over that hill the balance
of the road is easy sailing. | think W.

right time to build it too-this coming
summer.

thirty miles to the north Of US, there
are twenty-five cases of diphtheria,
while in and around Baldwin, twenty
miles to the northwest of Gunnison,
there are about the same number Of
persons afflicted with smallpox. Let Us
further suppose that in neither Crested
Butte or Baldwin is the law regarding
these diseases properly enforced. Nov,
the question naturally arises in your
mind and mine-what are We going to
do about such a condition
1t is our manifest duty that we, a.
individuals and as a community. should
do all IN our power to avoid these
diseases.
Two hundred years ago, the Indian.
in this locality, on hearing OF a contagi-
Gus disease to the north, would have
packed their ponies and squaws and de-
parted southwark Else. had they re-
