WOOD TELLS HOW
He CLIMBED ROCKIES
Letter from E. N. Wood who
Drove from Sioux City to
Ontario, Ore, in Month

We got here the 18th of July.
Was on the road, including stops at
different places. just one month from
the time we left Sioux City. Found
Clarence building a house so have
been busy helping him ever since l
came. 49,.
far as Colorado Springs and Manitou.
| After leaving there we commenced
climbing the mountains thru the Ute
pass. We were one week getting
thru the m ountains and we had sew
eral fairly large mountains to go over:
Then we came to the Battle mountain,
the highest and heaviest grade of any
on the whole trip; there are three
miles of Is to 20 per cent grade and
W hen we got to the top we were IA,
500 feet above sea level. After II
had got part way up the auto stopped.
had to set both breaks and block it
we'll and get an auto man to come and
adjust the carbureter for high alti-
tude. Then it went right up, part Of
the time on intermediate and part on
low. When we were at the highest
point we could look down 1900 feet
almost perpendicular, on mining
town below. The road was so narrow
we did not have more than three feet
out side Of the track and then some
very short turns around sharp points,
but, of course, we had to go very
slow and carefully. They have turn
outs every so to 80 rods and when
one gets to a turnout he is ex-
pected TO blow the horn, and if the
does not get an answer then he goes
on to the next turnout and so or
through the narrows. From here we
went thru the Grand Canon for &c
miles to Glenwood Springs. Stopped
here for one day then went over the
Indian Mountain pass to Salt Lake
City. Stopped here for stnree days
and had fine time. Went to church
on Sunday in the Mormon Tabernacle.
On Tuesday we went to the Salt Lake
bath house or pavilion. There we
headed for Ogden, Twin Falls, Boise
and Ontario, Oregon.
+. We stopped two days in Kansas on
account Of rain and muddy roads but
after that we had fine weather and
good roads most of the way.
We enjoyed the trip very much.
Our party from Sioux City
came with US as far as Snowville.
This place is 60 miles northwest OF
Ogden. They went from there TO Los
Angeles. We just have a letter
from them they got thru all right.
4 l do not know how l will like il
here yet. It is very different from
there. Most all the farming anc
fruit raising is done Eby irrigation.
The late frost killed all the fruit this
year except berries. There are sc
many large apple orchards here.
In making the run out here | usec
278 gallons of gasoline and q engine
oil, averaging ] gallon gasoline to
miles. This is counting thru the
mountains and all. Did not need any
grease in the differential or transmits.

High Temperatures

The hottest weather of the year
came last Thursday and Friday when
the thermometer reached SO degrees
in the shade on both days. The hot
wave was general over the state but
reached it's greatest intensity at Man
kato where the weather observer
found the mercury flirting with 1O2
on the shady side of the street. Fat
alities and prostrations were reported
from many sections but Stevens coun-
ty escaped but the grains were badly
singed. A year ago last Thursday

OCTOBER 2-7 TO Be
PAY-UP WEEK AGAIN
Object is to Teach the Proper
Use of Credit and Promote
Prosperity

We as people ana naClon are SO
big. rich and prosperous that we have
failed in our development to consider
some very essential things, and the
matter of credit is one Of them. But
as our business grows in volume and
the matter of credit is coming more
and more to be recognized as tangi-
BILE asset, it is being found necessary
to give the matter of credit and the
payment of accounts more careful
consideration and week has bsen
set aside to be known as National
Pay-Up Week, during which time
people throughout the country are
asked to pay their individual debts so
far as possible and in this way in
crease the prosperity of the entire
country. IL.
This extraordinary and laudable
movement is being conducted by an
association of business men that is
unique in character. The National
Association of Merchants Trade Journ-
al Readers is, as the name might sug-
gest, national association of busi-
ness men. These men are individual
ly interested in the general prosperity
of their respective towns and com
munities, and as these men are in
business in practically every town and
city of any consequence in this entire
country, this movement to promote
the payment of debts during the one
week of October I'd to 7th inclusive,
will at once be national and local, and
being such every man and woman in
the entire country should be inter.
ested in it.
National Pay-Up Week is not q
movement to promote greater buy
ing, but it is a movement to prom
ote more systematic payment of debit.
Tie person who pays his debts during
National Pay-Up Week is not neces-
sarily buying more goods, but he Il
simply paying for goods that have
been purchased; and not only business
men, but everyone else-the minist'
er, the teacher, the lawyer, the
doctor, the farmer, the laborer, are
all interested either directly or in.
directly in this great nationwide
movement.
Every professional man has an in
terest in the material prosperity o1
those about him because he is serving
them. Every minister in every church
is interested in the material prosperity
of his people, and indeed those il
other churches and those of the com
munity who belong to no church, be-
cause it requires money to conduc
the activities of a church, and th'
teacher is interested, too, because i
requires money to finance the educa
tional institutions of this country
And anything that will cause the peo
pie of town and community to pa.
their debts will help every business
every institution and every individual
in that community.
Incidentally, this movement is no
new, as this same association conduct
ed National Pay-Up Week during
the week of February 21st to 26tn in
elusive. During this time hundred
of towns throughout the country parti
cipated in the movement with the re
suit that thousands upon thousands O.
dollars were put into circulation.

FOR A Community
WELFARE CONFERENCE

Arthur E. Gilman is in the city, rep
senting the University of Colorado IN
their extension work and is making
plans for community welfare confer
ence for Glenwood.
This is somewhat on the plan of 4
Chautauqua course although the pla9
is to make it decidedly practical and
to devote less attention to entertain
ment features. 1t is strictly prac
teal, educational course. The meetings
are to extend over four days and there
are to be several sessions, with multi
plicity of subjects discussed by able
speakers along various lines.
The plan contemplates free admission
to the public, thus making it of the
greatest possible value to the commu-
nifty. Arrangements have not yet been
fully completed for the course, but the
Post hopes to be able to describe the
plan more thoroughly next week.

of the company who last year insisted
that Glenwood should not be behind
other towns in this respect, and our
people yet remember with pleasure
their initial effort. Their small begin

this years demonstration much more
elaborate and interesting, and the
many exclamations of delight and ap-

NICKLE CHASING CAN
VASSER TO 60

The "jitney" eanvasser is doomed.
At least his activities will be curtailed
as regards obtaining signatures to iu.
itiated and referred petitions at ga
nickle a throw' For the next legis-
lature is going to put high barrier
of legal restrictions between the can
vasser and the petitions, according 70
discussions heard in political headqua--
ters.
Instead of allowing men and women
to circulate petitions, as was the case
in the referred medical practice bill
and the initiated "herd' law, which
was decisively beaten, the petitions
will be placed in the office of the city
clerk or the county recorder, accord
ing to detailed plans now being
worked out. Recent abuse of the in
tent of the initiative and refendum
law over the foregoing measures has
decided certain Democratic Legislators
to place some protective features
around the law.
The inability of paid canvassers to
approach their friends and obtain their
signatures on the plea that it means a
"jitney' for every name they obtain,
will also save taxpayers considerable
needless expense in having referred
measures which the legislature has
passed and which the majority of the
people favor.
"It is the purpose of the trainers of
the bill to stop this practice,' said a
Democratic legislator yesterday. "Wc
intend to change the law SO that it will
be properly safeguarded. For instance,
the petition under our plans would be
placed in legal custody so that signers
would come unsolicited to the city
clerk office for the purpose of sup.
porting the petition
Wholesale abuse of the law has dis.
pleased the voters in many counties,
and this is another reason why the in.
intent of the initiative and referendum
will be preserved, the Legislators con-
tend.

PLENTY OF ROOM
IN ASYLUM NOW

Denver, Dec. 6.-"Under the present
arrangement at the insane asylum at
Pueblo, every person in the state, who
has legally been adiudged insane, is
cared for at the asylum and there is
room for thirtyfive more.' So spoke
l. B. Allen, one of the members of the
board of control of the asylum, this
morning. Continuing, he said: "But
the next legislature must make immc.
diate preparation for caring for the sur
plus insane for the next two years. Col
orado's insane asylum population in
creases at the rate of fifty year. We
have room at the asylum to accommo-
date the increase for about eight months
and then all of the room will have been
exhausted. In my opinion there are
three ways that this increase may be
taken care of, either of which would be
satisfactory.
First: By buying more adjacent land
to the present grounds and building
1t must be remembered that there is no
room for any more buildings on the
present site.
Second: By purchasing a farm eight
or twelve miles from Pueblo, and MAX
ing it recruiting ground for certain
classes of insane who can work. There
are between two and three hundred such
people in the institution at the present
time.
Third: By enlarging the school for
mental detectives, which is near Den.
yer, and which is under the control of a
special board. We have with us at the
insane asylum some hundred patients
who really belong in that school. If it
was enlarged this hundred could be
cared for and their transfer would leave
room at the asylum under its present
condition for those who will be ad-
judged insane during the next two
years.
There is another improvement that
should be put in at present. There are
two central kitchens. There is a din
ing room on every floor of every build
ing. The kitchens are connected with
the various buildings with underground
tunnels. These tunnels are draughty,
cold and sometimes damp. The food is
carted from the two kitchens to the
various buildings and then distributed
to the dining rooms. Naturally it gets
cold and unsanitary between the time it
is cooked and the time it is served. We
should abolish the individual floor din
ing rooms and should construct two
central dining rooms. One for the wo-
men and one for the men, and instead
of taking the food to the patients, take
the patients to the food, where it could
be served to them, hot

Warden Listens CouIteous|y
but Makes No Decision
Concerning Road Camp
COMMITTEE IS HOPEFUL

The community committee appointed
some time ago to confer with Warden
lyman in regard to continuing the con-
vict road camp in the Glenwood canon,
called on that official last Saturday
and held very pleasant conference
with Mr.. lyman in regard to the mat
ter.
At first Mr.. lyman gave it as his
opinion that he could only place his
crews in communities that wanted their
service and where the sentiment of the
community was favorable to the en-
ployment of convict labor on the roads,
and he was apparently of the opinion
that that sentiment was not present in
Glenwood Springs and Garfield county.
The members of the committee did
their best to convince the warden that
in this respect he had been misinform-
ed, and assured him that our people are
in thorough sympathy with the road
work being done in the canon by con-
Wet labor.
In regard to the case against F. D.
Rice, who was charged with furnishing
a gun to one of the prisoners at the
camp, it was made plain to the warden
that, even though Mr.. Rice might have
been guilty, it was impossible to con-
wet him on the evidence which was
presented to the jury and which was
the only evidence obtainable against
the defendant.
This Rice matter was one of the
things which ranked in Mr.. lyman and
had much to do with his decision to take
the camp away. After this was ex-
planned by the committee the atmos-
phere was somewhat clarified and Mr..
lyman promised to come over the latter
part of this week and make careful
investigation. He treated the commit
tee with the utmost cordiality, but was
very guarded concerning any decision
in the matter.
The committee consisted of Senator
Napier, j. w. Bell, DR.. w. w. Crook,
Elmer +. Lucas, County Commissioner
Ed Mclean and X. p. Coulter, county
commissioner elect, the latter not being
able to attend the conference on az
count of making cattle shipment.

Must Cut on
All Exchanges

"An advance in the price Of the
daily newspaper would mean another
hardship to the average man, but the
1917 price of paper may result in many
publications being forced to take action
to that end in order to avoid suspension.
Newspapers already are practieing
greater economy in the use of paper
than ever before. supplementary cop
les have been discontinued, exchanges
put on a cash basis, headings and the
number of pages reduced and returns

will be both surprised and interested to
know that he has enlisted in the Eng
lish army and expects to sail in the
spring for the seat of trouble and take
his place in the trenches. George is
eccentric, has head full Of
ideas and heart as big as water
bucket and right side if fellow can
only find it. His best friends never
know what he will do next, as is proved
by his latest move.
In a postcard from Vancouver, B. e.,
he enlightens the editor as follows:
Dear Friend Dickson:
One would not realize what the
war really was until he came over
the line. I enlisted as transport
driver for the overseas forces and
will be too busy fighting army
mules to fight any Germans-be-
sides I have too many German
friends to ever want to kill one.
If I get out of the war alive 1
think I'll be full Of interesting
dope on the war. Will be in Eng
land by spring. ... a.
