ADVOCATES ROAD
TO JAMES PEAK
Alice, Colo, Oct. 10th, 1916.

Mr.. w. J. Stull,
Central City. Colo.
Friend Stull:
am sending you under separate
cover a map OF a wagon road from
Tolland to Central City via Alice.
l had given up ever getting tied on
Central City and Gilpin County un-
til your articles last year trying to
connect yourself with james Peak
and the many lakes and places of
interest over this way. l intended
then to take up the matter with you
but have been away for some time
AND very busy.
This wagon road has been built out
OF Tolland as shown by the yellow
line and only needs a short connec-
ton to get to Alice from that point
The red line shows where it will
run to get to Central City from Alice
and most OF 1T will be along the ditch
line where the road is half built
now; 1t would be ON grade of about
15 feet to the thousand. On the
west end there is about 5000 feet
of road to build to get down to the
level of the ditch line and have
surveyed this on So grade. On the
east end there is something like
1 II miles of road to build to get up
to the ditch line at Mount Pisga;
this has never been surveyed as l
know of.
tried to interest the Gilpin peo-
pie in wagon road to Golden that
would go by the most direct route
and / looked over the country once
but l could not get any cooperation
from your end on this project. 1
satisfied myself that the project was
more than feasible and can be done
in conjunction with Jefferson county
and the Denver people who would be
Interested If they were properly put
next to the project. This road would
put Gilpin county in direct reach of
the valley without climbing any hills
going east and with fine grade conn
ing west. '-''' -'--@''--4 --s4---------
The above as l have roughly put
it would put James Peak in direct
reach OF Denver through Central City,
Would put a few thousand OF autos
through your town each summer.
Would place you independent of the
Jim Crow Marrow Gauge when they
take off their trains for you could
establish an auto service to Golden
and take the street car from there
every thirty minutes and place Cen
tral and Gdlpdn on the map. This
would also place Alice in line of t1uv-
el along with you and that Is where
We come in.
have heard talk that some of
you Gdlpdn people are agitating build
ing road to Idaho Springs to con-
meet with their read to Denver; why
not build your own road to Denver
and be on the main trunk line your
self and not be secondary fiddle
to some one else but run your own
game and work out your own bust
ness conditions and not be tied on
to some one who will only give you
a black eye on every and all occa-
sions? Tlhis is real business am
proposing to you Of Gilpdn county
and you know I am one for improve
ments. do not believe in lying stili
and allowing business to run away
from us or to some one else because
We are lying around and not alive
to the situation.
Very truly yours,
GEO. r. STEUART,

POWERFUL RoMANcEs IN
BIRTH OF A NATION

Az the outset OF the narrative, Ben
Cameron (the famous Little Colonel
OF the play, represented by Henry B.
WhathalD is in love with Elsie Stone
man (Lillian Gish), northern girl,
whose father Is bitter against the
cause OF the south and who after
wards turns out to be the notorious
leader OF the "carpetbaegers-"
'Stoneman" joins forces with the
ambitious negro, Lynch, to control the
free nigger' vote and ride into Of
flee through the operation
The cruel war, IN which the Little
Colonel gallantav wins his spurs, in
tervenes, and four long and painful
years are the lovers separated.
Stoneman has always dislikedi Ben
Cameron for his strictly Southern
spirit, and the war and the bitter
hatreds it has engendered has built
q barrier between the two, proud
younger hearts.
Cameron's refusal, later on, to
countenance Lynch, Sioneman's> pet.
further enrages Elsde's father.
After the unprincipled mmlatto, who
has been but playing a double game
decides he has Stoneman where he
wants him." he attempts to put in
execution his possession of the lovely
and helpless daughter.
Il lsl M, - -
found a ''black empire" in tire South,
with himself as "the emperor" and
now drunk with wine and cursed am
bition, he resolves to crown it all
with glory by making Elsie the white
empress.
His devilish opportunity comes
when a sudden dire necessity COM
pels the girl to call at his house in
quest of her father.
He seizes her and gives orders to
put all i'm readiness for forced mar
riage between them. Stoneman ar
rlwes at the house, but is not ad-
mitted past the colcred guards. He
attempts to dictate, but is laughed
at. Now he realizes when it is too
late, where his overreaching tactics
have landed him and his innocent
cEfld, but he is broken and helpless
and absolutely at the mercy OF the
deviksh Lynch, who has the upper
'hand. with free ndggers and the color
ed militia back of him.
Nothing could have sawed the un.
fortunate girl at that moment from
a fate more distas.eful than death
but the timely intervention OF Lead
er Ben Camercn and his fearless
Clansmen, who pdcturesquely bea1
down upon the rendezvous and, break
up the repulsive proceedings, occa
sioning one of the bloodiest fights
recorded in the picture.
This brings old Stoneman to his
senses and he has no further oppo
sition to Cameron 1t also settles all
the false pride on lovely Elsje's part
who has been thus sawed from such
a horrible fate.
Those who witness this telling sit-
uation aus we'll as the many others in
this great work OF works. ID. w. Grit
fith's The Birth OF A Nation, will
be moved until their blood fairly
leaps in their veins. 1t is a series
os sights which make civilization
ooze up in the human breast.
