An Important Future.

II am greatly gratiied at the success
which has been made in the mechanical
development Of the process and I feel
assured that II has an important and
successful Industrial future, not alone
as a source of two Of the most valuable
constituents OF high explosives, but also
as an efficient means OF supplying dye
stun bases.
The mechanical Improvements which
can reasonably be expected to follow
from continuous operation and more
general use are certain to give even
better results han those so far obtained.
1T should be a matter of national
satisfaction to know that should the need
ever arise the country car depend upon
this process. which Is the result Of tho
labors OF a Government scientist. to fur

Completion of the Crested
Butte-Somereet Road
Now Assured.

Commissioner w. II. Whalen is
authority that the long deferred
completing of the road leading from
Crested Butte to Somerset will be
accomplished another season. This
is hy mutual agreement among the
board of Commissioners who are
thoroughly convinced that that is
the next most important piece of
road building to b. done in the
county. The road will b. carried
through on regular practical auto
grade line as started out by Com
missioner Whalen this spring from
Crested Butte, the survey of which
has already been extended by the
Forestry engineers TO the summit of
kcbler pass at Irwin.
a large fund will be available
another year from the State road
appropriation and also from the For
eStry Department, which has taken
an active interest in the construc-
tion "f good, permanent roads
through the Forestry domains and
has spent over fifty thousand dollars
to that end in Saguache county du
ring the two seasons Just past. 1t
was understood some time since
during the projection of the Forest
ry road survey between here and
Irwin, that the Department would
another year aid materially in the
completing of this road. The adj
vantages obtained from this cut off
route to the North Fork fruit lands
are obvious, as it will open A way
for direct traffic between Crested
Butte and all OF this end # the
county to that section of .tl,e. conn
try.
Around by rail from Crested
Butte to Somerset it is I55 miles.
while by the new road across kebIer
pass it is less than 40 miles, .nS the
round trip could be made by auto in
half day easily, while it takes
three days To Somerset and return
by rail. 1t would be a short davis
drive With team from Crested
