WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Saturday, Dec. p.
Unexpectedly baked in their march
toward the plains by the loss Of the
Monte Asolone positions within twenty
four hours after they had captured
them, the Austro- German forces are
concentrating heavily, according to all
available reports, north and northeast
of this important approach to domin-
ating Monte Grappa. A new and UNI
precedentedly vigorous onslaught on
the barriers to the plains is expected
soon, not only at Grappa itself, but on
the Asiago plateau and possibly the
lower Piave. where enemy troop con-
centrations also are recorded.
In succession Of brilliant attacks
throughout Thursday and Friday the
Italians succeeded in dislodglng the
enemy from a great part OF Monte Aso-
lone and driving him back more than
two-thirds Of mile along three-mlle
front. The enemy's occupation OF Aso-
lone was regarded as a serious menace:
because it gave him partial control OF
San Lorenzo Valley, leading to the
plain. and Bassano.
A determined effort was made. there
fore. TO redeem the position. The first
attack was in darkness at 2 o'clock yes
terdav morning, when small detach-
ment of the It'll Infantry climbed
Monte Asolone and made a furious
charge on the sleeping garrison. For
time the little band was beyond the
summit. but was finally driven back by
superior numbers.
Main Attack Begins
The main attack began at 10 o'clock
in the morning. when the Alpini and
18th Regiments advanced on three
mile front. having Asolone as its cen
ire. The left ard centre moved straight
ahead, while the right executed turn
ing movement which partly enveloped
the enemy position on Asolone. The
fighting was furious all through the
day and into the darkness of last night,
when the Italians had again mastered
the strategic points of Asolone and the
enemy was pushed back for nearly a
mile.
The enemy's efforts to cross the old
Piave AZ the nearest point 10 Venice
has been thrown back by Italian sailors
and marines. The enemy used armed
fatboats carrying a storming party
The Italians landed a party from the
feet and engaged the enemy, driving
him back and sinking one of his armed
boats.
Although expert opinion appears TO
be approaching unanimity that the
Austrians have given up hope OF break
ing through the Italian line at present
so far os to force another great re-
treat, all available information indi-
Gates the enemy wants TO achieve an
other big success by capturing all
peaks commanding the plain and would
vastly preFer position at the north
ern limit of the plain. at least where
climatic conditions would enable him
TO control the territory for miles in
front of them

Saguache, Colo, Aug. 6, 1917.
Mrs. E. S. Mccullough, in cooper
alton with the Forest Service, is
maintaining a record of travel over
Monarch Pass. During the month of
July the actual count indicated that
440 automobiles, IL motorcycles, 10
wagons, 3 horsebackers, and ped
estrians crossed Monarch Pass. The
estimated number of people is. 1888.
The record is the first authentic CEN
sus that has been taken of Monarch
Pass by the Forest Service and indi-
Gates very forcibly the popularity of
this road, even over the present grade.
The Forest Supervisor announces that
location survey will commence in the
near future and actual construction
under cooperative agreement with the
state of Colorado is expected to COM
mence this fall, for the construction
of an automobile highway with a
much lower grade than the present
road. 1t will be interesting to compare

SOME TAFFY FOR OUR
RAINBOW ROUTE


1t is pleasing to hear the strangers
who come in town along the Rainbow
Route from both ends praise our Gun
nison county roads. They are SO much
superior to what they encounter in
other states. A man came up from
New Mexico the other day. Said he,
~ drove 35 miles the first half day.
Then struck Colorado and by night
fall the machine registered ITO miles.
The Cochetopa pass road is fine.
Somewhat rough and wet from heavy
storms, but it drains well and shows
good road bed"
Another party came from California
and said, "Roads are rough and poor
till we struck Colorado. From Grand
Junction on they are fine. How about
from Montrose here?" was asked.
Altogether the best we have seen,"
was the reply.
"Just tell them for me that the
road from Montrose over Blue mesa
is in dandy shape" declared Joe Ro-
buck, who arrived Tuesday.
A travelling man who covers a good
part of the state was here last Fri
day in Buick roadster and while
talking to people about town said that
the first good roads he had struck of
late were between Gunnison and Mont
rose and Ouray.

Montrose Tuesday night to overlook
the Crested Butte Somerset road. w.
f. Swartz, who is to drive the big
tractor on the road, arrived from Dem
yer Tuesday morning. Work on the
road is progressing in good shape,
sixteen miles having been completed
up to date. One of the difficulties
they have to encounter is the abund-
ance of trees that must be cleared
away.
Ralph Lockett, who has been work
ing there shows us some interesting
pictures of the North Fork, a most
fascinating undiscovered i country"
right at our door. News Champion has
always been enthusiastic over this
back door of Gunnison county, so long
closed, and the road men who are
opening it all feel just as enthusiastic
in describing its beauties.

Peyton Spann is in charge of road
construction on the other end, COM
ing up from Somerset. This work is
also under supervision of the high

rebuilding is very heavy construc-
ton. However, the hand is set to the
plow, and Road Supervisor Wiley and
Commissioner Whalen are determin-
ed to make good showing on this
road for 1917, although it is quite
evident it cannot be pushed to con-
clusion in one year.
