about Or see Grand, Twin, Maroon,
Trappers, Big Fish, Marvine, Sweet

lakes--and all these things can be seel
in making this circle, with choice Of
routes part of the way. A portion of
these roads are already built, others ara
now heigs improved, and the circle
should be completed.
A new road should be built from
Yampa to Trappers, thence to the other
lakes on the Flat Tops and down ID
Glenwood. Business would follow the
usual lines. Tourists would follow the
circle route, there would be more travel,
and the whole section (and state) would
be benefited. Tourists could (and
would) deflect and go up or down any
stream-the Eagle, Blue, Roaring Fork,
, Yampa, White or Grand rivers. Each
county would get its proportion of trav-
| el, thorough advertising, and each
year the volume of travel would be
greater.
Let us all work for an appropriation,
and get first class circle road to Tha
lakes and forests of Colorado.

Ira Chivvis Found Dead at
Lacy Hill Last Sunday From
Organic Heart Trouble
BURIED AT CANON CITY

Last Sunday morning the body of an
aged man was found by the roadside
at Lacy hill, six miles west of Rifle.
1t was at first thought that the man
had been thrown from vehicle, re-
ceiving injuries which caused his death.
A little Investigation, however, made
plain the fact that the man had long
been a sufferer from organic heart trou-
BILE and that death had resulted from
this trouble.
Word was sent to Farnum s mortuary
and Jack Brady at once went to the
scene of death, bearing commission
as deputy coroner and intending to hold
an inquest if such were deemed nee.
essary. But as there were no indieL-
tions of foul play and the cause If
death was plain, no such action was
taken.
Mr.. Chivvis, who was somewhat &C.
centric in his habits, had for several
years been a resident of Yampa where
he was engaged in farming and sto.k
growing to small extent. He had
formerly lived in Canon City, but some
years ago he and his sister moved to
Yampa. The man was taking vaca-
ton and when he reached Rifle he ap-
parently determined to go to some town
down the river, everything indicating
that he selected Grand Junction as his
objective point.
But 1910 was found in the man 5
clothes and foul play was at first sus-
pecter since deposit slip was found on
the bank of Yampa, but wire from
this bank stated that Mr.. Chivvis had
drawn this money before he left home.
As he was making the trip leisurely
he had spent nearly all Of his money
and this doubtless accounts for his
mode of travel at the time death ever.
took him.
The body was brought to Farnum 3
In this city and brother came from
Canon City and had the body removed
to that place Wednesday for burial.

the appearance of Glenwood Springs.
His last visit here was about 1895
while he was in charge of the Colorado
Midland railway, but he told those who
met him that he would be frequent
visitor to Glenwood Springs from nov
on. He took a great interest in the
improved appearance of Grand avenue,
and commented particularly on the
lighting of the shop win
dows. He was also pleased to find so
well appointed club rooms in town.
Those who met Mr.. Nudge were very
hopeful that his coming to the Denver
& Rio Grande will mean big things for
this territory. He is a very reticent
type of man, but observant, and even
in the brief space of his visit showed
a quick grip of vital facts in the rail
road needs of this community.

Rif|e-DeBeque Company is Bringing in
a Fine String Of Tools and Will
Soon Bore a New Well
WILL PIPE TOWN FOR GAS

on the ground and with their derrick
now in place over the ground where the
new well is to be started, they say
they will set things in motion in short
order on the arrival of the Oklahoma
tools.
1t is predicted on good authority
that Grand River Oil & Gas company,
composed largely of Glenwood and
Leadville men, will soon renew work on
their property and continue same until
they have made well.
The best of, feeling exists between
the two companies and each has de-
clared its willingness to assist the Other
whenever necessary and to be neigh
borly in all operations. This is as it
should be and it means great deal in
a new field where but two companies
are at work. The experimental stage
has, to a very large degree, been
passed and both companies now know
that the oil is beneath them and they
are determined to. go down until they
reach it. The prospects are certainly
bright for DeBeque, and the best of
it is that DeBeque cannot prosper alone
by big oil find, but the benefit will
extend to Glenwood, Grand Junction
and all intermediate points, for the
whole valley must share in whatever
good fortune comes to DeBeque as a
result of the efforts of these compa-
nies.

Inspired by Talk Of National
Highway Tells What Should
Be Done in Colorado
Benefit TO GLENw00D

Editor Riland of the Meeker Review,
who always has few good ideas in
his dome, has been reading SO much cf
late concerning national highways and
cross country thoroughfares that he is
meeting the argument with some mighty
good suggestions for plan which, if
carried out, will open Colorado to the
world in way we have scarcely yet
dreamed Of, exploiting not only her un-
surpassed scenery but her wonderful
possibilities in agriculture, in stock
growing and in mining. The following
is Riland's interesting article on the
subject:
The proposed national park circle
highway, of which the following ex-
cerpts treat, would traverse the states
Of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,
Washington, California and Utah. 1t
would prove a drawing card for the
west, and a never ending source Of
pleasure to the people Of the east and
south, as we'll as foreign visitors:
Two important moves were made
here yesterday in connection with
the development of the proposed
$500 mile circle highway, begin
ming and ending in Denver, and
linking the national parks Of the
west. One was the official adop-
tion Of the route between Denver,
the Rocky Mountain national park
and the Yellowstone national park,
The Glenwood post., 1915-11-27

by way of the Cody, Wyoming,
gateway.
The other was the starting of a
movement for the appropriation by
the federal government of $1,000
900 to initiate the construction of
permanent highways between the
national parks.
The Petition
A petition addressed to Hon.
Stephen Mather, assistant secretary
of the interior, read as follows:
"We, the undersigned citizens of
Wyoming and Colorado, desire to
cooperate with you in the further
ance of your suggestion that the
national parks be linked by feder-
al road, and pledge to you our
hearty support, believing that this
will tend to the development of
this section of the west.
"We favor the appropriation Of
$1,OOO,0OO by the next congress,
and suggest that the federal prison
ers be put to work on the high
way that results may be obtained
quickly and economically. Dem
yer News, November 2.
While the above is splendid plan,
md those interested will undoubtedly
work together and get results, there is
another "circle road,n in Colorado
alone, that the citizens of Lake, Sum
nit, Grand, Routt, Moffat, Rio Blaneo'
Garfield, Eagle and Pitkin counties
should work for. The counties enumer-
,ted are noted for their scenery, nation
IL forests, lakes, and can demonstrat
Ill the resources of the state to those
Interested.
Placer and dredge mining are carried
IN in Summit, Lake, Routt and Moffat
counties.
Lode mining in Lake, Pitkin, Eagle,
Grand and Routt.
Coal mining in Routt, Moffat, Rio
Blanco and Garfield.
Stock raising and agriculture in all

Portions of the counties contain por-
ions of the Arapahoe, Holy Cross,
Routt, Sopris, and White River nation
Il forests. ut is now possible to get a
,mall piece of ground, u very few acres,

All the counties have beautiful lakes

COOKE WANTS CITY TO
GIVE 5-YEAR CONTRACTS
Bills to Be introduced in Legis-
lature to Establish New Sys-
tenn.

Director Cooke, Of the Department of
Public Works, will endeavor to have the
Legislature give Philadelphia the privilege
Of letting contracts on hve-year basis
for lighting. telephone service, garbage
disposal removal of ashes and street
cleaning.
He contends that, under the present
one-year contract system, a monopolistlc
condition has arisen, especially In public
lighting and garbage disposal, and that
contracts on a fve-year basis would at
tract capitalists willing TO make ex-
penditures for competitive plants under
the longer-term system.
Two bills, prepared under the super
vision OF Director Cooke, will be intro
duced i'm the state Senate Monday night
by Senator owen jenkins, of the German
town district They will be referred to
the Committee on Municipal Affairs, of
which Senator Edwin II. Ware is chair
man. Senator Ware is the largest street
cleaning contractor In Philadelphia.
one OF the bills is exclusively for ex-
tending the garbage contract to n 5-year
term. The other bill includes the gar
bage contract with extension of the other
named public contracts to five years. The
forms of the bills have been approved by
the law department of the city.
Proposals for the 1915 garbage dis
posal contract were asked by ADVERTISE
ment today and will be opened April s.

somewhat, ana he pointed to the new pa

Although Bowers had a blackjack and

Mike out and took him 20 the station

Bowers while q member of the United
