TAYLOR PASS
ROAD PROPOSED.
PITKIN COUNTY WANTS
STATE HIGHWAY PUT
THROUGH TO ASPEN
Would Open Mineral and Ferese Re.
:esrees Of Vast Coanary In TsyIss
Park

Pitkin county wants Gunnison to
assist with q state road over Taylor
pass to connect the two counties.
This information is contained In . let
ter and petition sent by the county
commissioners at Aspen to the county
board here and acted upon at the
March meeting.
The proposal is to have q state high
way established from Gunnison to As
PEN using the present wagon road,
with such departure from the present
route as may be necessary in estab-
fishing properly graded highway,
such route to run by way Of Taylor
Park"
The Pitkin county commissioners
present the following cogent reasons
why such state highway is desirable:
First. It would make cross-coun-
try connection between State Highway
No. 26, commonly known as the Pike
Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway, and
State Highway No. %, commonly
known rs the Rainbow Route, such .
connection extending through its en-
tire length through mountain valleys
of most attractive features and run
ming in view Of the Elk Mountains and
the Continental Divide.
second. IL Will open vast mineral
resources that ut present cannot be
profitably mined, owing to the high
cost Of transportation over the present
almost impossible roads.
Third. It will make easily available
immense tracts Of timber within the
Forest Reserves adjacent to such .
proposed highway that cannot now be
cut over owing to the cost Of hauling
from such an inaccessible region.
Fourth. It will open numberless
camp sites for auto parties. that for
attractiveness during the summer sea-
son BY reason Of It's moderate and
equable climate, and the ease with
which trout may be extracted from
the many mountain streams along its
eoprSe. cannot baGqnalsd by-nnp 9th
Ter section Of the state Of Colorado.
We therefore pray that your Honor
able Body will establish such q route
between said places as may be found
to be along the best lines. and with
the assistance of the counties Of Gun
nison and Pitkin, as well as the U. s.
Forest Service, and do forthwith build
and construct the same for the use Of
the public"

In Eject Next Week. County Clesh
Gives lnformstiaa to Public Con.
cerning D~tails

Automobile owners and dealers will
nit up and take notice when they un-
derstand the whole import Of the
Aew automobile law, which was passed
last December by the state legislature
and which becomes effective March 10,
1870, according to instructions receiv-
ed by {. c. McWilhams, county clerk,
The law is stringent and will be a
valuable safeguard against the theft

moved has q value Of at least $40. 90,
or convicted Of loosening any part Of
the car or shifting or changing the

provies that an auto dealer must in
variably furnish q bill Of sale with
each machine sold, and q provision
. making it unlawful to sell secondhand
cars unless bill of sale issued to the
owner is attached All bills Of sale
must be recorded Mt the county clerks

machine, he must execute q "certifi-
cate Of ownership" and have it duly
( recorded. The penalty for failure ta
comply with this part Of the law is
one to ten years in the pen or q fine
Of $1,000.

hae . license from the secretary Of

tire year. Penalty, $500 fine. Deal

tificatiop marks have been damaged
or tampered with, the officers must
make thorough investigation.

verdict. however now goes to Frisch,

and he has stolen 81 bases. He ranks
third among the six contending third
basemen In fielding with 1857.
There are some critics who believe
that Ward plays the best game at third
base of any third basemar In the coun-
try. He is marvel on the defense,
and while he doesn't hit consistently
he occasionally crashes through for q
long one Eight homers attest that fact.

Four Of the worlds series contenders

burg upon his own hook, not being one
OF the Memphis players, having sew
cred his connection with the team
when the season ended in the South
ern league was in the bullpen warming
up and he was sent in to relieve Mitch.

Thweatt in their half of the third and
scored two runs. With one gone, Bou-
geno Hurt. Prothro, Farmer and Block
all hit safely, netting two runs. Hurt
was hit by batted ball between sec
ond and third, and this prevented more
gums from being scored.
In the seventh, DyersbuTg knotted the
count. Marshall singled and was
forced at second by Bougeno. Hurt
doubled, with Bougeno crossing the pan.
HURT scored moment later when Col
lenberger erred.
In the ninth the locals won 1t. Mar

but Bob Dowie let the third strike get
away. from him, with the RUDE reach
ing first. Bougeno's bunt put him on
second. Hurt, hunted, but Thweatt was
unable to field the ball, putting RUDE
on third. With Doc Prothro at bat,
Thweatt let loose a wild heave that
got away from Dowie, and Marshall
scored the winning run.
Bougeno made wonderful catch in
the sixth inning of drive that went
to the fence.

teams will go to Paducah, KY. where
they will stage two games Saturday
