let pontine is used to make the coat
and the Tam O'Shanter, and this
dOuble-faced fabric is ideal for sports
clothes. The leatherlike surface is
outside, and the wool side of the fab
ric faces the "choker" collar and
forms the band of the Tam. The Ius-
trous side is outward in the draped
crown.
The closely pleated skirt is red

ROAD TO TOP OF GORGE
SHOULD Be IMPROVED

That pQIjop of the road to the top
of thesfigyM Gorge under the juris-
diction and control of the county COM
missioners is in need of repairs and
some steps should be taken by them
to put it into better condition for
tourist travel. But little work is
required to put it into good shape and
the expense would be small compar-
cd with the benefit that would accrue
to the public from the Improvement.
The surface of the road is fairly
smooth and here are but few holes.
ruts or c'Cbes to complain Of The
principal trouble is the stones and
small boulders that have rolled down
upon it from the banks, which make
it hard to travel in places, particular
ly by automobiles, which are about
the only vehicles that use it. Many
of these rocks are rolled down upon
the road by cattle climbing up the
banks, and. as nothing has been
done to remove them this year, they
have become a source of considerable
annoyance to motorists. Two or
three days work by a couple of men
would fix things up in good shape.
That part of the road through the
City park, about three miles in length
is free from stones and is in fairly
good condition, although not perfect
by any means. The city council had
intended to grade it up this sum-
mer. but the continued dry weather
cfused postponement of the work as
it was decided that such an under
taking would create a soft, dusty
roadway without any compensating
benefits. The grading will, probably,
not be done until fall. The county
road needs repairs far more than
that part running through the city
property.
Practically all of the visitors to
Canon City at this season of the year
make the trip to the top of the Royal
Gorge and surprise is expressed that
a highway of such renown is not
kept in better condition. The road
to the top of the Royal Gorge as it
now exists is not at all creditable
to the enterprise of the county and
to its interest in the maintenance of
frst-class public highways.

Some of the Issues
That Will Be Before the
People In the Fall Campaign
(6y AIva A. swain).

Now that the two assemblies have
been called, the question naturally
arises: What will be the issues of
the present state campaign? So far
as the Republican party is concern
ed, it has already established issues
upon which it will make its record.
Those issues are:
First: The enactment and en-
forcement of the Prohibition law. Sec
ond The creation of an Industrial
Commission that has made good and
that so far has settled every dispute
between employer and employee, ex-
cept one, that has been brot to its at
tention.
Third: The establishment of a
Public Utilities Commission that has
dealt fairly between the public utili-
ties and the people to the extent
that both are satisfied.
Fourth: The work of a State ia !;
Commission that has come nearer
placing a fair and equitable valuation
on tine property of the state than any
other single or dual valuing powers in
the history of the state.
Fifth: The administration of the
State and Board in such a way that
the greatest number of settlers possi-
BILE are being placed on the state
lands, with the greatest receipts per
acre to the school fund of the state
in the history of the state.
Ia, oJ init Af hn
metalliferous mining department of
the state so completely that today
the largest monthly values in the his
tory of Colorado are being taken
from her mines.
Seventh: The administration of
the finances of the state to the extent
that the people have received one
dollars worth of benefit for every dol
lar expended.
Eighth: The enactment into law of
every platform pledged.
The above history and a promise to
continue in effect the good work will
be the platform of the Republican
party this fall.
The Democratic platform will natu-
rally be filled with a large number of
denunciations. 1t will accuse the Re-
publicans of the "squanderous" ex-
penditure of money. 1t will denounce

well as congregational welcome.
The reception proper was from sew.
en- to eight o'clock. during which a
number of very pleasing selections
Later there was a formal program of
entertainment in the course of which
there was vocal and instrumental
music, addresses, etc. The musical
number consisted of piano duet by
Misses Ruth Goodrich and Stella

ment by Mrs. S. E. Lane; a vocal
eslection by a male quartette compos.
ed of Fred p. Hubbart, Glenn Geb-

Mrs. c.. w. Wolfenberger.
The addresses of welcome were by
Judge c. Z. Waldo on behalf of the
First Presbyterian church congrega-
ton; r. C. Nesbit on behalf of the
Sunday school; Glenn Gebhardt for
the Christian Endeavor society; Mrs
Theodore Ashley for the Woman's

and John w. Rogers for the home.
The choir's welcome to Rev. and Mrs.
Armentrout and family was the rendi-
tion of "Alieulia Forth"
Rev. and Mrs. Armentrout both
made eloquent and appropriate res,
ponses to the very cordial welcome
extended them on the part of the
church and its auxiliary and benevo.
lent organizations. They expressed
their pleasure at being in Colorado
and of the splendid hospitality witt
which they had been received here.
They invited the helpfulness and co
operation of all in the work in which
they were enlisted and said hearth
ness and sincerity of the welcome ac-
corded them here presaged a most
agreeable residence for them in Can
on City.
In the receiving line during the
reception. in addition to Rev. and
Mrs. Armentrout, were the members
of the church trustees and their
wives. The floral decorations of the
church were tasteful and attractive.

nineteen candidates were given de-

and boards as being unfruitful of re-
suits and guided by political aspira-
tions. 1t will make several promis.
es, the nature of which are not yet
known. Democracy's greatest asset
this year will be the claimed popu-
larity of President Wilson.
If Mayor Speer pushes his insane
asylum bill, his bill to abolish the
State Tax Commission and his propo-
sition to give to the counties in which
railroad terminals are situated the
value of those terminals for taxation
purposes, the entire fight will be chan
ged and the fight will be Denver VS. the
State. Already Democrats who want
to be candidates for state positions
see the handwriting on the wall, if
that situation arises, and they are
trying to get Mr.. Speer to withdraw
some of his propositions, especially
the one abolishing the State Tax Com
mission.
The Beer Amendment may enter
into the campaign. The Republican
platform will denounce it, and if
democracy does not denounce il, the
Prohibition question will again be
one of the issues.
Some months ago, one of President
Wilson's admirers asked the follow
ing question of the Republican critics
of Mr.. Wilson:
"If you had been handling the Mexi-
can situation during the past four
years, how would you have handled
it differently from the way Mr.. VIII
son has handled it?"
A question similar in nature, but
different in form. might be asked of
the Democratic critics of the present
state administration, namely:
Wherein has this administration
failed to make good? What condi-
tion detrimental to the state existed
two years ago that has not been rene
died? What condition exists today
in state affairs which, if changed.
would better our state government?
What official act of the present admin
istration is there that will not stand
the critical eye of investigation? In
short. who is there demanding a
change in the political complexion of
our state government except for par
v selfishness?"

MONARCH PASS BEST
ROUTE TO GUhNISON

DIR. G. II. Kellenberger and Joe
Ball returned to Canon City Wednes-
day evening from a two weeks fishing
trip to the latter.s ranch on Taylor
river, two miles above Almont They
made the trip in the Kellenberger car;
making the run both ways via Mon.
arch pass, which is saving of fifty
six miles over the Cochetopa route to
the western slope.
In speaking of the trip this morn
ing DIR. Kellenberger said that the
speedometer on his machine showed
that it was exactly one hundred and
forty miles from Canon City to Joe
Balls ranch, going by way of Mon
arch pass, and that the road was for
the most part in excellent condition.
DIR. Kellenberger and Mr.. Ball left
here at $3.50 O'Clock in the morning
and were in Almont at o'clock the
following afternoon. A number of
stops were made on the journey: the
longest being at Salida, where break
fast was eaten. Returning they left
and reached home at A o'clock in the
afternoon.
The road over Monarch pass has
never been in as good condition as it
is this season, according to DR.. Kel-
lenberger, and 1t is destined in the
future, he says to sdpercede the Coch-
etopa route from Canon City and Salt
da to the Gunnison country. The road
up the eastern slope of the pass is
not as smooth as it might be and is
pretty steep, according to DIR. Kel-
lenberger, but the Chaffee county au-
thorities are improving it and it is
likely to be in better shape twelve
months from now than it is at pres
ent. The road down the western ap-
proach to the pass has been in fine
condition for several years. A marker
on the pass states the altitude to be
IL 1,400 feet above sea level.
Dr. Kellenberger says trout fish
ing has not been very good in either
the Gunnison, Taylor or East rivers
in the vicinity of Almont, although it
is much more attractive now than it
was couple of weeks ago. There
is still considerable snow in the Elk
mountains above Crested Butte and
high waters in all of the streams in
that section of the country have been
the rule. He sfates that a three and
half pound trout was caught at Al
mont while he was there. but that the
big ones" are pretty scarce.
There are scores of campers along
the Gunnison river and its tributar-
les, said Dr. Kellenberger this morn
ing. and most of them are automobil-
lists from Kansas and Oklahoma. Near
ly all of them, he asys. drive Ford
cars and have their machines loaded
down with camp equipment.

Of the Traction Company, is meeting
with success.
Five of these petitions are being
circulated and some have already re-
ceived the signatures of 40 per cent.
OF the property owners in the block
TO which they refer.
Those circulating the petitions are:
Abe Bachrach, Charles Topkis, Will
liam L. Dockstader. Frederick Steinle
and George Mcmahon.
II Is the intention, when the petit
tons are fully signed to call a meet
ing OF the property owners, the Cham
Der of Commerce. Street and Sewer
Department Traction Company and
the paving contractor TO consider the
project in its every phase.
That this move is a display OF pro
gressiveness and cooperative civic
spirit, on the part of those interested,
to get done something worth while,
has been generally conceded ever
since the first announcement of these
plans were made.
lt is estimated that about 1877
linear feet of paving would be re-
quired for the project. The entire
cost, including the If feet width all
the way from Fourth to Ninth. to be
paid for by the Traction Company,
would be less than $4,000 The plan
would be TO secure high-class paving
that would last indefinitely and could
be easily flushed and cleaned. This
cleaning would be extremely ad-
vantageous for the present King
street, largely on account OF the
difficulties encountered in flushing
and keeping It clean, is often in filthy
condition.
