for LOveland Pass Road

A delegation from Georgetown
and Silver Plume appeared before
the Board of County Commiss-
toners on Monday, their mission
being to solicit aid from the county
in their new road project.
The benefits to Clear Creek
county upon the completion of
the Loveland Pass road will far
exceed any benefits derived from
any other road in the county.
True, Floyd Hill road was a
necessity, and when work was
started there and an appeal made
by the people of Idaho for aid
and assistance from the towns of
the upper end, their petition was
not in vain-the people from the
upper end of the county responded
in praiseworthy manner
No one argues that these efforts
and assistance were not appreciated
but now comes an opportunity for
reciprocating. Can any reasonable
person argue that a road, which
will reduce the distance between
say Leadville and Denver by half,
SO that the journey by auto can be
made in one day, should not re-
ceive the sincere, earnest aid and
assistance of the entire county?
The point which now confronts
those advocating the project ia ~tha
strip Of road within the limits Of
Georgetown. The funds of the
Georgetown treasury are at very
low mark and added to this is a
debt of $500 which the town has
not been able to meet contracted
in the construction of the Green
and Clear Lakes road. This road
has benefited the county in so-far
as the county has had no expense
in maintaining.
The old road up the canon had
three bridges which were no small
item in the maintenance of the
road, while the new road has none.
The argument of Mayor Haesler
that in view of the saving, the ex-
penditure made by Georgetown in
construction of this new road
would warrant the county con-
structing the entire road to Silver
Plume is very good from the
Georgetown standpoint, but legally
the board cannot appropriate
county funds for the limits of an
incorporated town, SO a subscrip-
tion seems to be the only manner
in which the money can be raised.
F. P. Dewey has guaranteed
that he can raise $500 in this
manner and it is hoped his promise
will be realized.
No doubt the objections now
confronting all interested parties
will soon be cleared away and the
Silver Plume road, which is now
at places a II per cent grade will
be reduced to 8 per cent, and the
first step toward the completion
of the Loveland Pass road be
finished.

TO TRAP GOATS
IS NEWEST Plan


To capture goats with steel traps is
the latest proposal received for getting
rid of them on the island of Kahoo-
lave.
This unique method was suggested
Friday morning by William Gillies to
the board of commissioners Of agricui-
ture and forestry. Gillies informed
the beard that he thought he could
make money by killing the goats and
selling their skins, meat and bones If
the board would permit him to go
there. When asked how he planned
to capture the goats he said he pro-
posed placing the traps in the trails.
IL is estimated that there Is about
200 goats on the island and for years
the board has endeavored to extermin-
ate them as they ruin the trees and
bushes and nothing can be done to
reforest the island, as planned by the
board, until all the goats are killed.
The board told Gillies that II would
take the, matter under consideration
and let him know its decision at a
later date.
