ESTABLISHING ROAD CAMP NEAR
CRAMER
County Commissioner McCandless
took force OF men up Eight Mile
canon on Tuesday for the purpose OF
establishing road.making camp near
Cramer, preparatory to beginning
work on the new public highway to
Cripple Creek. Mr.. McCandless says
that they cleared temporary road
before night which will enable the
camp equipment and other necessary
for the undertaking In hand
to be hauled In. The suggestion has
been made that RESIDENTS OF Florence
and Fremont county generally who
are interested In the construction OF
this new road get together and assist
In the work OF removing the old ties
among the right-of-way this side of
the old Cramer station. The Cripple
Creek people are so enthusiastic over
this road that as many ms fifty at
time make a trip down the grade and
spend several hours removing old ties
from the track and Florence people
should be just as much interested In
this road as any community In the
county. Florence Citizen.
