of Ames, Colorado, will soon start on
an automobile trip, to he gone sew
eral months. They will go from their
mining camp to Telluride. then to
Montrose and across the western slope
TO the San Luis valley by the way of
Chetopa Pass, then to Salida by the
way of Poncha Pass. From Salida
they will motor to Pueblo where they
will visit for time before continuing
their journey down into Texas and
other points south. They will spend
the summer on this trip with the

they will come back thru the San

Sunnyside, where they have relatives
and hosts of friends and acquaint-

pleasant trip for they are the kind
of people who know how to go out in
the world and make the best of it.

may rest assured that he will have an
interesting report to make when he
returns.

HUNDREDS ATTEND
1917 COMMENCEMENT
Va "a n ~

Thirty-six young men and women
Feqnuipped to rise above the well-filled
ranks of mediocrity and to surmount
the obstacles toward the summit of
eminence were graduated from the
Durango high school last night. The
exercises marking the end of their
high school days, will long be held in
pleasant memories by the large num-
ber of people who witnessed them.
Red Men hall was transformed in
to most attractive spot for the oc-
casion. The temporary stage, which
had a solid mass of evergreen for a
background and banking, was can
opied with hundreds OF yellow pop
pies that were swayed back and forth
by the breezes from the open window.
Over all soft shaded lights cast soft
glow. At the fore was large frame,
which completed the effect of living
picture, when the class was seated for
the program. Yellow roses, the class
flower were every where in evidence.
The balcony was entwined with lattice
decoration effect and from it white
festooning was suspended.
At the appointed hour, Miss Anna
Otis, took her place at the piano and
sounded the notes of the march that
heralded the approach of the class. A
hush stole over the audience as the
members slowly wended their way to
the platform to their designated
place. In the front row, were seated
the class officers, Fritz Wynn, presi-
dent, Anna Otis, vice-president, Her.
bert McGregor, treasurer, and Sarah
Rule, secretary.
In a voice marked by its sincerity,
Rev. r. s. Grim, pastor of the First
NJ. f. church, rendered the appropri-
ate invocation.
The chorus Lovely June" sung by
the Glass under the direction of Miss
Goldie Hooker. merited the deuge of
applause it received.
The initial literary feature was an
essay by Miss Dorothy Hill the pupil
who held the highest class honors.
Her subject, "The Disappearing of
the Fireside," was discussed with
thought that showed thorough ap-
probation Of the old standards and
the new, and discernment that gave
her hearers the best in both.
In "A Boys Thoughts About the
War" Leo Harrington's well written
and well delivered Grafton expressed
noble sentiments that inspired new
loyalty to our nation in its battle
for democracy.
Miss Marguerite Edwards piano
solo, "Gems of Scotland" was mark
ed by the unusual technical skill with
which it was rendered.

REINFORCE ITALIANS
British and French Take Over Con-
sinderabIe Part of Line.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy. Friday, December l.
1t will be cheering news to the al
lied world that allied reinforcements
have now definitely taken tleir place
on the actual Italian front and are
today occupying trenches in the bat
tered positions held by the Italian
troops, now relieved for needed re.
spite. The British position is around
the nights of Montello, on the upper
Piaye, where the batteries on the
nights are already in action and rifle
lire answers the steady sniping from
across the river. The French posi-.
ton cannot as yet be indicated, but
it is in an equally important sector
The formalitiese of transfer have
been in progress for the past week
and are now definitely accomplished
when the Italians saluted the British
flag and the Tommies cheered the
men in gray as they went for their
wellearned rest.
This transfer is significant First
is IL visible evidence of allied unity
not alone in conferences, but on the
fighting lines 1t is evidence also
of unity on the western front, wheth
er in Italian Venetia or French Elan
ders. Second, it Is the infusion OF
new blood, new life, new spirit at q
timely moment.
Third, the extent of the transfer Is
considerable The Italian front from
the mouth of the piaye to the Swiss
frontier, is about 150 miles About
onethird of this is inactive, but 1OI
miles of front along the Piave and
the northern stretch is feeling the
continuous pressure of the enemy
forces The Italians still guard con
siderable portions and are meeting
the grunt of the attacks in the north
