to tell the METHODS for the proper up
building of the nations highway sys-
TEN.
For a number Of years Mr.. Stevens
has been highway commissioner for
the Estes Park highway. This piece
of road work in itself is a testimony
to his ideals. He Is also the inventor
of the Stevens improved road drag.
one of the simplest and most efficient
road machines on the American mar
ket.
Mr.. Stevens believes in concrete
highways and prepared bouleYards,
but he also believes that the earth
road, which comprises more than 50.
per cent Of the eeuntry's highways, is
of no less Importance. "a concrete
highway isn't going to do a farmer
much good If he has got to haul his
load three miles through hub-deep mud
before he gets to it." is Mr.. Stevens
attitude.
The farmer Is the man who is going
to pay for most of the country roads,.
and although concrete roads are need
ed where the traffic is sufficiently
heavy the earth roads that feed the
concrete road must be kept up.
AS an inventor of road machinery.
a road engineer road supervisor and.
a road worker for his probabilities
and the life dream of better roads as
his idealism, Mr.. Stevens is ably quail
flied to judge highway problems.

PROVIDE SWINE WITH SHADE
Many Isoqs Die During Summer
Months If Not Given Protection
of Some Kind.

Many hogs die from the effects Of
heat during the summer months. If
there is no natural shade in the pas
ture, places should be provided whore
the hogs may get relief from the heat.
A cheap and practical plan IS to build
sheds with roofs OF poles and straw,
supported by posts. This will allow
the free circulation of air. and If the
water supply is near, will enable the
hogs to pass the hot weather safely.

Sum Which II Capitalized at 5 Per

ment of $4,000, 100000.

Government road officials estimate
that road construction and mainte-
nance in the United States involve an
annual outlay of over $300,00O,000,
sum, which, If capitalized at S per
cent would represent an investment
of $6,0O0,000,000. There has never
been a nationwide traffic census to
show either the direction or volume
of traffic over these highways.

Orphan lambs can be raised on cows

When few sheep are cared for
properly one may expect flock In a

When legume hay is used as horse
feed, the quality should be good and

There should be a pasture for the

CITY COUNCIL MEETS

The city council of the City of
Central met on Thursday evening
in regular monthly session. There
not being a quorum present, the
mayor adjourned the meeting to
Friday evening August 18th at
7:3O o'clock, when there was pres
ent Mayor Wilkinson and Alder
men Atkinson, McCallister, Sey-
mour and Willis.
The minutes of council meeting
held July 10th last were read and
approved.
The city clerks report of water
and sundry collections, together
with ledger balances July 31st,
having been approved by the f.
nance committee was read and on
motion duly accepted and filed.
City Marshal, Street and Water
Committee Gray, orally reported
minor flume and pipe repairs; the
flow of city water; the cleaning
of intake at Miners gulch, and
general conditions of water sup
ply; further that he had material
ly abated the donkey nuisance by
taking up and impounding and
selling under the ordinance a
number of animals, several of
which when impounded, the own
ers suddenly showed a live inter-
est in by redeeming them, and by
later keeping them from running
at large; $500 was realized from
donkeys sold and impounded; the
council expressed its appreciation
at abatement of nuisance, which
surely meets the approval of all
our citizens.
The cleaning and repairing of
some of the high streets was con-
sidered, now that the flood season
has apparently passed; and the
street commissioner was directed
to prepare therefor.
City and water bills amounting
in all to $280.19, being approved
by the finance committee, were on
motion allowed and ordered paid.
There being no further business
the council adjourned.

County Gets New Truck

County Commissioners Neil Nc
Kay and r. l. Hughes came up
from Denver last Thursday even
ing with George McFarlane driv-
ing one of the new government
trucks being distributed among
the counties of the state, to be
used in road building and repair.
The truck is beauty, being of the
Nash four-wheel drive type. 1t is
sturdy in construction and will
haul two tons. 1t is equipped with
heavy steel body intended for
use in France in hauling ammun-
ition, but this will be discarded
for a specially designed dump
body which the Highway Commits
sion will supply. Aside from haul
ing dirt and rock, the truck will
be just the thing for pulling a
grader in surfacing the roads. An
other truck and perhaps touring
car will be given to Gilpin county

GILPIN COUNTY PEOPLE
HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Mrs. Harley Shaffer, of Black
Hawk, and Frank Poole, of Cen
tral, Have Narrow Escape From
Death When Car Overturns.

Mrs. Harley Shaffer, of Black
Hawk, and Frank Poole, of Cen
trail were badly injured Sunday
evening while returning from a
berrying trip on Berthoud pass.
They were riding in Ford being
driven by Mrs. Shaffer, who lost
control of the car and the two oc-
cupants were caught under the
machine when it overturned. Mrs.
Shaffer sustained broken jaw
and was taken to the hospital in
Denver Monday. Mr.. Poole was
bruised about the body but no
bones were broken. He was
brought to his home in Central
Monday and is under the care of
DR.. Towers, who claims that un-
less complications set in the in
jured man will recover.
The berrying party was made
up of Mr.. and Mrs. Shaffer, Mr..
Poole, Henry Schulties, Frank
Claiming and two daughters, and
Mrs. Mabel Miller and daughter.
They had two cars and left the
berry grounds about 7:3O. Mr..
Shaffer was driving the Ford and
with him was Mr.. Schulties, the
rest being in Mr.. Channing's car.
Mr.. Shaffer was seized with a
dizzy spell during the afternoon
and was not feeling we'll when the
journey home was started. He
drove the car until the bottom of
the pass was reached and by this
time was pretty sick. The party
stopped for a while and after a
little rest he felt better and then
proceeded to a point three miles
above Idaho Springs, where he be-
came so sick he could barely see
the road and concluded he had
better not attempt to drive any
further. Mr.. Charming was fol-
lowing in his car, and it was de-
cided to relieve Mr.. Shaffer and
let someone else drive the Ford
into Idaho Springs. Mr.. Poole
was to have taken the wheel, but

Government Will I'M
prove Cold Spring

Ray Clark, forest ranger, Ed
ward G. Howe, principal of En-
glewood High school, Chicago,
and H. G. Peterson, a landscape
engineer, of Aimes, Ia, were in
Central last Friday. Mr.. Clark
said the forestry service had made
survey of the Cold Spring pic
mic ground and next year will
make it national rest station
with fire place and shelter for
campers and picnickers. Cold
Spring is one of the prettiest
places in the mountains and its
easy accessibility by autos has
caused the forestry service to pro-
vide every convenience for the
benefit of the public.
Gilpin observer., 1919-08-21

Mrs. Shaffer said she had driven
the car some and thought she
could handle it to Idaho Springs.
Mr.. Shaffer and Mr.. Schulties got
into the Claiming car and Mrs.
Shaffer and Mr.. Poole into the
Shaffer car, the Charming car fol-
lowing.
After taking the wheel Mrs.
Shaffer drove about a thousand
feet and in coming down short
incline she thought the car was
getting away from her and going
over into the creek. She evidently
gave the steering wheel too much
OF turn as the car came in con-
tact with large rock on the op-
posite side of the road and was
overturned.
When the Claiming car came
up to the Ford it was upside down
and Mr.. Poole and Mrs. Shaffer
were pinioned beneath. The steer
ing wheel was on Mr.. Poole and
the body of the car held Mrs.
Shaffer. Mr.. Claiming and Mr..
Schulties raised the car and Mrs.
Shaffer was able to crawl from be-
meath, but Mr. Pool had to be TAX
EN- out. They were placed in the
Charming car and taken to Idaho
Springs.
1t is lucky that the Charming
car was close distance behind
when the accident occurred as the
Ford was equipped with Presto
lights which were burning, and
with the gasoline from the tank
flooding the ground fire would
have developed in few moments,
with disastrous results.
The accident is deplorable and
the friends of the injured sympa-
thize with them, but find some
consolation in the thought that it
was prevented from being more
serious by assistance being close
at hand.
