SUFFRAGE VOTE
LATEST RETURNS INDIcATTE De
FEAT FOR SUFFRAGE
AMENDMENT.
RICHARDSON WIN; Over nfsNEI
F. A Mead Defeats Conrad Wendell
in Race for Nomination for
Supervisor.

The chief interest Of Mondays pri.
mary election centered in the contests
in the republication primary and the
vote on the equal suffrage amendmen
The latest returns indicate that the
suffrage amendment was defeated BY
narrow margin. /, is possible that
complete returns may give the pro-
position majority but this is consid-
cred doubtful.
Harding was nominated for COVER
nor by wide margin, receiving al
most a majority of the votes cast for
all candidates.
The indications are that Brown has
received the nomination for state
treasurer. The estimate is based up.
on complete returns from less than
one-half OF the counties Of the state.
Senator e. H. Hoyt. Of this city, one
Of the candidates for state treasurer
received Q handsome vote in Della
ware County. q home Endorsement OF
which he may feel proud.
E. R, Moore was nominated for
lieutenant governor and w. s. Allen
for secretary Of state.
For attorney general and railroad
commissioner no candidate received
the necessary IS per cent and the
nominations will be made by the STATE
convention.
In the contest for county treasurer

Hesner by vote Of 117S to s15.
F. A. Mead was nominated by mar.
row margin over G. A. Wendell Tor
supervisor, the vote standing 1887 to
80.
The surprise of the day was the
failure Of the suffrage amendment in
this county. It's friends confidently
expected a big majority on the pro-
position, but the returns show that it
lost by vote OF 1921 to 1411. The
eastern part OF the county gave a
large majority against the proposition
There was an effort made to fill
the vacancies On the democratic and
republican county tickets by writing
IN the names of candidates.. The in.
dications are that none Of the candi-
dates received the required number
Of votes to permit their names being
printed on the election ballot.

counties are now receiving for
road and school purposes 20 per
c-nr OF the gross receipts of the
uational forests.
The total area of all the ma
rlUual forests of the United
>.ates is 135.356, ,353 acres, OF
hich little more than one
r-nth, or about li.OO0, 900 ac-
.-- are located in Colorado. The
atIOual forests OF our state are
H. valuable in timber and forage
r--uurces generally as reserves in
other states, and it is therefore
E-1sonable to assume that Colo
lido will receive the benefits of
l. forest reserve provision in
4e ratio which the forest-reserve
rrea OF Colorado bears to the
'ytal area of the national forests.
IN this assumption at least
100, 200 a year will be avail
4ble for road construction in
CJlorado, or a total of $1,000
100 within the next ten years.
The advantage, and in fact.
ecessity OF federal aid for the
-rstematic construction an d
laintenance OF highways in this
nountry has become so universal
~ recognized that there is no
iOubt whatever but what Con-
-ress will continue to appropri-
ate at least S25, ,000,000 annu-
hly after 1920 to aid the states
u the construction of roads.
This makes il certain that under
lie first apportionment provided
ior in this bill, Colorado will re-
live not less than S3,472,000
during the next ten years. With
the increasing appreciation OF
the value OF good roads, Congress
Is more likely to augment rather
than to reduce this appropria-
tion. BY adding to this sum the
one million dollars that Colorado
will receive during the next de-

cade from the special appropria-
tion which Section 8 OF this bill
makes for forest reserve roads, il
is safe TO say that Colorado will
receive direct Federal aid to the
extent of at least - 4,412, 900 in
cash during the next ten years.
With this help from Uncle Sam.
Colorado can and will build a
system of main highways and
branch roads that will be not
only credit to our state but to
this entire country, and will in
deed make our Centennial State

Some Gunnison People Have Learned
That Neglect Is Dangerous.

The slightest symptom nf kidney
trouble is far too serious to be over
looked 1t is the small neglected
troubles that SO often lead to serious
kidney trouble. That pain in the
'smal" OF your back; that urinary
irregularity; those headaches and diz-
" spells; that weak, weary, n-out
feeling, may be natures warning OF
kidney weakness Why risk your life
by neglecting these symptoms? Reach
the cause of the trouble while there
yet is time-begin treating your
kidneys at once with a tried and
proven kidney remedy. No need to
experiment. Doan's Kidney Pills
have been successfully used in thous-
ands of cases of kidney trouble for
over so years Doan's Kidney Pills
arc used and recommended through

CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR EX-
PLAINS PURPOSE AND SCOPE
NAT|OEAL AID TO GOOD ROADS

After ssveuty-tive years of con-
slant oIIUIt on the part OF the
farmers OF Ihi, country. Congress
has Just passed what Is known
a. the bill providing for nation
al aid To Good Roads. | feel
that every one in Colorado will
be Interested in knowing definite
lv the direct benefits that our
state will receive by reason of
the passage OF this bill.
The measure first appropriates
$4,000. 900 for the fiscal year
beginning July !, 1916; &c.,
900, 900 for 1917; 100000
for 1918: 100000. 900 for 1919:
and S25. 900, 900 for 1920, which
sums are to be expended by the
Secretary OF Agriculture, CO.
operating with the state high
way departments, in the con-
struction OF rural roads over
which the United States mails
are or may be hereafter trans
ported.
In order TO obtain the bene-
fits OF this act the state must by
act of the legislature assent TO
its terms, out until the legisla-
ture meets. the Governor can
assent. And the state must also
contribute at least an equal
amount in money, material, OF
labor toward the construction
OF any proposed road. The mon
ey appropriated by this act will
be apportioned among the vari-
Gus states according to three
factors: One third in the ratio
which the area OF the state bears
to the total area OF all the states
one third according to popula
ton, and one third according t.
the mileage OF rural delivery AM
star routes compared with the
total mileage of such routes in
the United States.
Colorado has OF the total in
the Union, $40 per cent of the
area; .SI2 per cent OF the pOpu
lation, and .S46 per cent OF tn
postal route mileage of the upi
ted States. By consolida ing
these three factors and dividing
by three we find that Colorado il
entitled to l.736 per cent OF the
total appropriations made un.
der this act, which means that
the following sums OF money will
be appropriated for road con
struction in Colorado at the be.
ginning OF each of the next five
| fiscal wears.

MOTORISTS FIND BLACK
MESA ROAD IN BAD WAY


E. S. and A. J. Cady, L. P. Bell, II.
Z. Welborn and his three sons and his
brother came home Saturday night from
the Cebolla, where they enjoyed q
weeks fishing. Perhaps enjoyed" is
hardly the right word. for the men re-
port that it rained every day but Fri
day. and the luck was not the best.
They had plenty Of fish to eat, however.
and brought some home.
The party made the trip in the Cady
and Welborn autos. They experienced
q great deal of difficulty in crossing
Black mesa, or, rather, in getting of
this end of the mesa, where Montrose
county has recently done some expert
road building To accomplish the feat,
it was necessary for them at one place
to build corduroy. Montrose county
seems to be up to the same old tactic.
of insuring black eye for the BLACK
mesa link by allowing it to be all but
impossible. Just how far the stat,
highway commission is willing to go il
the matter of compelling a differen
manipulation of such business is yet t.
be determined. II it has the scope o.
authority that the utilities commission
has. il will not be long in bringing
Montrose to time on this kind of horse
play.
Gunnison news-champion., 1916-08-25

In other words, S1,3O2 900
will be contributed from the Fed
eral Treasury to assist in build.
ing highways in Colorado during
the ensuing five years.
But this is not all the benefits
that Colorado will receive by the
enactment OF this legislation,
for section 8 of this act, which in
reality incorporates bodily my
general forest reserve road con-
strnction bill, II: r. 10,400, ap-
propriates one million dollars
each year for the next ten years,
to be expended under the super
vision OF the Secretary OF Agri-
culture, upon the request of the
state or county authorities, in
the construction and mainten-
ance OF roads within, or partly
within, the national forests. The
states or the counties in which
the forest reserves are located
are required to enter into CO.
operative agreements with the
Department of Agriculture to
pay for the roads that they want
built upon a basis equitable both
to them and to the United States.
The Federal Government is to
be reimbursed for the money
thus advanced by depositing in
the Treasury ten per cent OF the
revenues received from the tim.
Der and forage resources of the
forests wherein the roads are 10.
Gated until the loan is paid.

no ways interferes with the pres.
