then into Montana. From that point
they retraced pac', to Cody, Wyoming
then went thru the state Of Wyoming
to Cheyenne and then down to Den
yer where they spent two or three
days.
Leaving Denver they mol5rei south
to Colorado Springs and took in tho
sights at Mantou and then went UP
on the famous auto road 20 the ton
of Pixies Peak. The party ,1t.n1en
their trip honews rd thrl Pueblo.
Canon City, Salida and south to Del
Norte.
Here the party was joined by the
c. L. Mcclure party from Kansas
City and another auto load from Hays
City Kansas. These four auto part
les, joined by two or three others
made the first trip from South Forl,
over the new road to Pagosa and Du-
range where they arrived yesterday.
Mr. Goodman and family, Mr.. Trim
BILE and family and Mr.. Mcclure and
family all report fine trips. The two
latter parties are guests of the Good
an family today. Mr.. Goodman and
Mr.. Trimble made the trip of some
2,4OO miles without any serious trouble
to their cars in any way. They saw
great deal, and feel that it is well
worth while anyone who can TO make
the trip to do SO.
AS to the roads, they found them
not bad from Dolores to Salt Lake
City. They We're no worse than
should be expected during the dry
season. From Salt Lake the roads
were fine all the way to the park
and not bad down thru Wyoming,

on the roads in that section.

From Cheyenne on south they found
good roads nearly all the way until
they struck the new road out of
South Fork.
They reached South Fork just in
time to be the first party over from
that side. The six or seven cars
came over and all had some trouble
pulling thru the new muddy roads
up from the north side. On this side
they reported the roads in excellent
condition notwithstanding the contin-
1ous rainy weather. Outside of the
muddy roads they report the roads
somewhat narrow for the purposes of
meeting and passing in many places.
None of the parties had serious trou-
ble and all arrived at the various
points of destination in good condi-
lion, considering the last few days

HUGHES FAVORS
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

NEW YORK, August 1.-Hughes
has declared himself in favor of
woman's suffrage.
In his reply to message from
Senator Sutherland of Utah ASKING
why he omitted any reference 10 the
woman's suffrage amendment in his
address delivered at the notification
ceremonies said;
"In my answer at the notification
ceremonies last night did not refer
to the proposed federal woman'e suf-
rage amendment and this was moi
mentioned in the Republican plat
form. My personal views, however
are that it is most desirable. Woman's
suffrage must be promptly settled foi
the entire country. The proposed
amendment should be submitted ans
ratified and the subject removed from
political discussion"
Senator Sutherland had urge
Hughes that the platform did not con
flct with the declaration for the fed
eral amendment. He said millions o
voters desired it while the interest il
suffrage states is intense.

Hughes declaration, Wilson is in
grave danger of losing the suffrage
states. Only one thing can save him,
that is for congress to submit fed

Wilson telling us to win suffrage by
states practically denies us national
suffrage, because the constitutions of
twenty states are practically un-
amendable."

Not to Readuertise
For Riprapping Bids
Until Early in Year

Bids for the riprapping of the river
front slopes north of Hardscrabble.
as authorized by recent ordinance
of Council, will not be readvertised for
until after the beginning of the new
year, according to City Commissioner
E. Y. Gross, PARK superintendent.
OF course this will mean that the
work cannot be started at least before
early Spring. Weather and ground
conditions are not conducive. Mr.. Gross
said. City circles had been expecting
this excuse.
The money to pay for the treatment
of the slopes will be appropriated
from the balance in the park loan
fund and it had been generally ex-
pected that the stones blasted from
the new Cameron parkway east of the
almshouse would be used for the pur-
poses. These stones have been piled
for months in the almshouse pasture
lands.
Mr.. Gross now says that some ques-
ton has been raised as to the suit
ability Of these stones for the purpose.
A member of a local contracting firm,
he said, recently explained that the
stones cannot be cut squarely because
of the character of the rock. The
finishing of the ramps and the neces-
sary filling in and smoothing of the
river slopes will be considered, Mr.
Gross added, in the riprapping of the
embankment.

No Possibility of Saving
Oil Fields Considered Worst
Feature of Rumania Problem

Paris. Dec. THE news of the fall
of Bucharest was received here with
sorrow and modification, although it
had been regarded as inevitable since
the battle of the Argechu was lost.
I'VE understand perfectly" SAYS the
Petit Journal, what the Rumanians
are suffering. for we too have suffered
the SORROWS of invasion. We associate
ourselves all the more with their grief
since we realize with bitterness of
spirit that we are partly responsible
for the catastrophe, which was not
due entirely to the military ability OF
the enemy's leaders"
All of the newspapers say that the
event must be a lesson to the Allies
which ought to spur them on to more
rapid and energetic action and above
all to the organized and effective use
of their common resources. The COM
mentators, while generally gloomy,
make the point that the Rumanians.
having abandoned bucharest have
now a much shorter line, which their
armies. having emerged intact from
the claws of the German enveloping
movement. have a good chance of
holding until the Allies come TO their
aid. But II is agreed that with the
fall of Ploechti there appears no prob
ability of saving the oil fields. which
is considered the worst feature of the
situation.

ers' conference on the budget early
next week.
If enough maintenance money can
be obtained. it is possible that some
headway-or at least q good start
can be made in the scheme for remov-
ing rocks and blasting some sort of a
boat channel between the lower and
the upper basins.
Oother improvements which the
park officials hope for and for which
money will be asked, will be
At least $4,000 for the construction
of about hS00 and 1000 feet of road
way along the short of Wildwood lake
from Fox's Run to the boathouse, thus
eliminating the long tortuous hill
climb just before the upper entrance
of the park is reached; $3.50 for a new
floating hathouse for use of children
and grown-ups, money to police the
new strip of parkway from Reservoir
eastward, for proper treatment of the
Twenty-first and Market streets en-
trance to Reservoir to prevent wash
ing of the slopes; and for permanent
sewer facilities in the tennis club
house.
Because of the trouble the depart
ment has experienced with 'rowdy-
ism" on the Seventh and Kelker street

LATE FLOWING Is
OF BIG ADVANTAGE

Fall plowing IS a practice that
leads to the destruction of the larva
of the click beetle, known as the
wjreworm, the white grub,l the larva
of the June bug and the cutworm, the
larva of night flying miller or moth
well known by its fluttering about
lights during summer nights" says
Franklin Menges, soil expert of the
State Department of Agriculture.
THE reason why Fall plowing is
usually so destructive of these larva
is that they construct an encisting
among the roots of the plants upon
which they feed about this season OF
the year, or perhaps a little earlier in
the southern section of this State, and
several weeks earlier in the northern
areas, in which they pass the winter

Blame Fall of Bucharest on
Blunder of Lord Grey

London, Dec. 1.-THE comment of
the anti-government press on the cap
ture of Bucharest is extremely bitter.
II is declared that the fall of the
Rumanian capital will cause deep
sense of grief and shame to every
, Englishman and that it is due before
all else to the colossal blunders of
Lord Grey's diplomacy.
Apart from the anti-government
criticism it is generally conceded that
the event will be blow to the pres
tige of the Allies and a corresponding
increase in the prestige of the central
powers. The view is expressed that it
will probably cause a prolongation of
the war.
