C0NVICIS BUILT 100
MILES OF ROAD IN 1915
Pueblo chieftain:

Pueblo Chieftain:
More than 100 miles of perfect high
ways have been built in Colorado dur
ing the year 1915 by convict labor,
according to Warden Thomas lyman
of the state penitentiary. who is in
the city. Mr. lyman Is returning
from Las Animas. where he spent
Christmas. He yesterday spent con-
siderable time looking over the state
penitentiary farm at Avondale.
According to reports received from
of road had been completed this year
Some of these roads. in fact most of
item. have been made thru mountain
GUS country. Warden lyman stated
that Colorado had some of the best
roads in the West. Mr.. Tynan's road
building plan is to start something
and -nish 1t before going to something
else SO he is able to work road camps
v in six counties. So far that is.
r.noe the road building has been start
ed. 1000 miles of good roads have
been completed. According to esti
mates convict labor is the cheapest
that can be had in this state. So far
no money has been taAer from the
taxes of the people of the state to
maintain this worn. All the money
has been obtained from the internal
revenue Improvement fund. The
amount expended yearly on convict
good road building is approximately
$4,000.
Mr.. lyman says that the greatest
mileage in road building hes been
made In the valleys and lowlands. In
Pueblo county great progress has been
made. AT Hrst the farmer in the
.ebio district opposed the convicts
building good roads in this county
He was afraid that the road would be
entirely taken up by the autoist. But
now he realizes that roads that are
good for automobiles are better for
wagons. Considering the sparsely set
tied districts around Pueblo this
county has some of the best roads in
the state" said the warden.
The biggest undertaking ever at
tempted by convict labor in Colorado
is the Eagle River canon road, thru
solid rock, where blasting is neces-
sary at all stages. A big steam shov-
el is at work on this project and s.
men are kept busy shoveling rock
and debris into the Eagle river The
shovel will do the work of 300 men
and is a great help in rushing the
road thru. The road will connect on
the Rainbow Route at Salida. When
finished it will be 20 feet wide and
will be the greatest auto road in the
state, Mr.. lyman says. Some of Colo
RADIOS most majestic scenery is in
this Eagle river section.
Mr.. lyman considers the Arkansas
river road the most beneficial ever
made in this state. Heretofore when
one wished 10 go TO the Gunnison riy-
er section they had to go thru the
Wet Mountain valley section. but now
one can start from Pueblo in the
early morning and fish on the Gunni-
son late that afternoon. The road
has also opened up some great truck
farming country along the Arkansas
river between here and Canon City.
lyman expects that 1916 will be the
greatest year in colorado's history OF
road building.

CURIOUS CROWD, WHO HAD

Frank r. Devilliers, who recently
passing worthless checks on local
business men in exchange for merchan-
disc, was brought here from st. Louis
by Sheriff Newcomb this afternoon
anticipation of their coming there was
a large crowd of people at the rail-
road station when Denver & Rio
Grande train No. came in at :45 this
afternoon to see the officer and Il.
prisoner get off the train. AS Devil
iers stepped on the platform he saw
a number of his acquaintances stand
ing nearby and gave them a smile of
recognition, but said nothing. Both
men were carrying suit cases and at
tracted considerable attention as they
walked along the streets on their way
to the court house. On reaching the
sheriff's office the officer and his pris;
oner washed the dust of travel from
their face and hands afteA which
Devilliers was conducted to the eoun-
ty jail by Undersherin C. T. Chap
man and locked up. Deyilliers had
nothing to say after his arrival here
and whatever he may think of the fate
that has overtaken him is not known.
1t is learned that after reaching
st. Louis. where, it is reported. he
considered himself safe, Deviliiers
engaged lodgings in a private house
on Gates avenue, where he remained
for few days. Later he removed to
No 50SS Cabanne avenue. where he
was arrested by the police. He had
been at the Cabanne avenue place
only about an hour when taken into
custody by couple of officers from
police headquarters. He was singing
popular song to piano accompani
ment by a young lady OF the house
when the officers looked through a
window and identified DevilIiers by
means of his MANNED hand. with
which he was holding the music He
was taken to the Jail and locked up.

lily with whom he was staying.
Devilliers says he is twenfy-seven
years of age and that his parents live
in Australia. He says he has not seen
them for long time and does not
know the name of the town where they
reside.
All of the goods and merchandise
taken away from Canon City at the
time of his hasty departure couple
OF weeks ago were found in his poss.
ession by Sheriff Newcomb and were
brought back by him and are now al

seventy-five dollar diamond ring and
hty-dollar bracelet he obtained from
Miss Bessie Powers. T. ID. Harris

through his indiscretion in sending a

gross revenues, and second the roads
have generally reduced the ratio Of oper-

The general increase began shortly
after the railroads were granted in

various related applications for higher
rates, which covered practically the

rates were advanced the monthly reports

Christmas Is over, and judging from

they would like to have such a big holi-

fed that 1t comes but once every twelve
months
Santa Claus missed no one on his an
nual visit Rich and poor alike shared
in the enjoyment of the day. The latter
were especially fortunate and It Is doubt
full whether they were ever before re-
membered so generously.
Christmas Is primarily a festive day.
and 1t was all OF that yesterday. The
gay spirit was evident everywhere from
early morning until late at night Thou
sands of people either entertained at
home. went to the theaters or other
places OF amusement or found some other
festal activity. There was not a dull
moment during the day and every person
seemed happy.
Perhaps the greatest source of this hap

city Christmas cheer Through charita-

stiles were distributed to thousands. Hos
pitfalls and institutions of all descriptions
were ablaze with the Yuletide spirit be-
