THREE BILLION DOLLARS
IN NEW LIBERTY LOAN

Washington, March 26-Three bill
lion dollars, with all over subscrip-
tions will be the amount of the third
liberty loan, to open April 9Th, and the
rate of interest will be four and q
quarter per cent according to q
detailed statement of Secretary Nc
Adoo, published here today. Bonds Of
the third loan will not be convertible
into any future loan, although those Of
the first loan, bearing 3h per cent in
terest, and the second bearing 4 per
cent may be converted into the new
bonds.
The maturity of the new bonds will
probably be between twenty and thir-
ty years. All efforts will be made to
rush the necessary legislation through
both the houses this week. No oppo-
sition is looked for in either house.
Most financial observers were sur
prised at the comparatively small size
Of the loan and Of the interest rate,
both Of which they had expected to be
higher. Reduction of government ex-
penditures and allied loans below the
former estimate are responsible for the
loans size, Secretary McAdoo explain
ed. He said the bonds were made nom
convertible to put an end to the ex-
pectations Of higher interest rates in
the future, indicating his purpose to
maintain the Az rate for future loans,

HIGHWAY CONDITIONS BEGIN
TO INTEREST THE PUBLIC

A letter received from E. E. Schuy-
Ter, secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce at Montrose, anxiously inquiries
what measures will be taken by the
county commissioners to open the
Blue mesa early this spring. At q
recent meeting Of the Montrose COM
mercial body considerable discussion
occurred over the Importance Of get
ting the roads opened to the Western
Slope quite early in 1918.
Road Superintendent Wiley informs
US that he has plans laid to break the
drifts on the Blue as soon as "Old Sol''
shows symptoms Of being willing to
help. There is not much use Of start
ing with these ice-cold nights, and
with days that hardly soften the crust.
However, in = week or two, tie season
should be far saouGh alsag - ~
busy. = :,
This will be greatly appreciated by
the entire Western Slope for the in
creasing Importance Of the auto as a
business stimulant is noted more every
year. There are long strings Of new
cars for all points west only waiting
for the roads to open to make the trip.
The Rainbow Route must certainly be
the first opened crossing Of the Cont
mental divide this season. We have
always beaten the Midland Trail.
Roads are now open west beyond
lola, and east above Parlin. It is re-
ported that the government is assist
ing with Cochetopa pass.
Roads toward Baldwin and Crested
Butte are betwixt and between. The
Ranchmen who are obliged to come to
town have to transfer from sleigh to
buggies few miles up the river.

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
NEEDS $4,000 BUILDING

Members of the County High School
committee comprising Miss Verna
Waterman, T. w. Gray, A. l.. Wilson,
]. NJ. Flick and Mrs. J. r. Spann met
Saturday and went over carefully the
demand for a county high school build
ing. It was the unanimous agreement
that such n building was an impera-
tive necessity. The schools must not
let down in efficiency, because the boys
and girls We are training now are the
ones who must take up the worlds
work in the problem Of rebuilding az
ter war. 1t is recognized as well nigh
impossible to house both the growing
Normal and the High School any long
err in one building. It is doubtful
whether building material will be any
cheaper for years after the war. We
have got it to do and the county is
well able to afford this building for the
use Of its youths. We owe it to them
in fact.
The proposed bonds Of $4,000 are
to bear six per cent interest, but the
Bankers Security and Bonding Co.
of Denver had in bid, Offering $50.-
500 for the issue, which will reduce
the interest rate to about 5.S1. This
was accepted. The proposed bond is
sue will come up for vote of the peor
pie at the school election the first
Monday in May.

SOME INTERESTING STORIES
ABOUT NEARBY MINES

L. C. Ehlerding left Monday for
Spencer, to start work on the Head
light, as soon as he can get workmen
for two shifts. Frank Holt and Fred
Brown are engineers. L. B. Kyle and
Bob Vidal are to work in the shaft.
A large number of capitalists from
Nebraska went thru early in the week
to Lake City. They are interested in
the Hidden Treasure mine, which is to
start its new concentration plant and
flotation works. The Hidden Treas
ure has over two millions tons Of ore
in sight, and promises a tremendous
production which will rejuvenate Lake
City.
Fred Hay and Ginger Linton went
to Spencer the first Of the week, in
tending to start operations on the
Smoot properties. The tunnel from
the Cebolla near Dubois is to be driv-
en- further to cut the vein exposed
above. The Searchlight Oil & Gas
company, Mr.. Gee mapager, is hand
ling the mine, and this company has
also taken over two claims owned by

HOW AMERICAS ARMIES
WILL GROW IN 1918

With these 10000 men which are
to be drawn monthly thru the sum-
mer to keep the cantonments full it
is stated that Americas armies will
number two and . half million next
January. We are making q guess
the men under arms will number twice
that about this time next year.
Besides the draft armies which are
figured on above, there will be half
. million volunteers over and under
the draft age. In May will come an
other registration Of boys who have
come Fl within the year and these
will number nearly . million, most
Of them Immediately available in class
One A. The navy and aviation arms
will grow nearly half . million within
the year and already number 400, 900.
Altogether it is our guess that the
spring Of 1919 will see close to five
million men wearing the uniform of
Uncle Sam, and half that number will
be welded into fighting units that can
lick any five million baby killers ex-
tant.

We. in the language of President VIII.
son, dedicate to the United States in
this crisis our lives and our fortunes,
everything that We are and everything
that We have"
Part II will consist Of the debate
by selected team Of three from each
high school.
Admission was originally set ut Is
cents, in order to pay expenses of the
Telluride debaters, but in recognition
Of the patriotic character Of the first
part Of the program, has been changed
to 25 cents straight, or 20 cents and
the purchase Of Thrift Stamp, or the
purchase Of dollar "Smilage book, /"
