MIDLAND CREWS BLAST
ZOE FROM TUNNEL

Colorado Springs, June 1.-Two
winters accumulation of ice, never
entirely melted away during the sum
mer, forming an ever increasing glac
Ter, is blocking the progress of the
Colorado Midland repair crews that
are making an effort to break through
the ice at the Busk-Ivanhoe tunnel,
west of Leadyille. This tunnel, the
longest on the system, and an engin-
eering feat of no mean skill, is Il half
mile long and five feet of ice is barr
ing the workmen who would open the
route through. Powder is to be used
but the greater portion of this vast
accumulation must be picked out.
Constant dripping from the water
sources and the fact that the nights
are always below freezing, have com
bined with the bitter cold of winter
to make one of the most difficult bar
riers ever attacked by railroad men, it
is said by the Colorado Springs ofric-
ers.
The trip made two weeks ago by
Charles Hayden, prominent New York
financier and chairman of the board
of directors of the Rock Island rail

dition of the route and especially to
see the condition of the rails with a
view, it is reported to taking these
up for Rock Island extensions and re-
newals. Mr.. Hayden soon raped on
the head the report that the Rock Is
land would buy the Midland.
While in Grand Junction last week
on their western trip, Mr.. Carlton and
Mr.. Penrose announced that extensive
improvements would be made to cost
5000, 900 to the local capitalists hold

TWO MORE MEN
MEET wA1ERY GRAVE

Last Monday afternoon another ter
rible tragedy was enacted in this coun-
ty in which two men lost their lives
in the angry waves of the Grand river.
This terrible accident happened just
below the Bert Tibbetts ranch where a
cable stretched across the river sup
ported big bucket in which the ten
ants on the Vulcan farm, and some
others as well, had been accustomed
to ride across the river when it seemed
necessary for them to cross.
The victims of this terrible accident
were George X. Heinrichy of Loveland,
Colo and Myron N. Fetteroff, IA service
man whose parents live in Altoona, Pa.
and who was Il co-tenant with Helm
richly on the Vulcan farm.
1t is believed that the men were
starting across the river for the pur
pose of cleaning the Vulcan ditch
which comes out of Canon creek, the
water being conveyed by pipe line to
the south side of the Grand river and
thence to the Vulcan farm.
The men had been repeatedly warned
by the settlers that to attempt to cross
the river, especially at high water time
with the crude means provided, was
foolhardy and extremely hazardous, and
it is quite certain that they were sus-
picious of the device, because one of
them came across first and sought 10
strengthen the fastening on the north
side by putting a "dead man. or
lever under the cable, thus lifting it
up until he evidently thought the buck
ct would miss the water, and passage
could be had with safety. This con-
trivance consisted of two inch plank
which raised the cable to a position of
supposed safety
This man then returned by the buck
ct to the south side and both men en-
tered the bucket and started across.
The insecure cable gave way and when
so that it was caught by the rushing
water and both men were hurled from
the bucket into the river at sipt
where the water was about 21 feet
deep. A passerby saw them go town
and, although he watched the river in
tently for some time, he was unable to
get sight of them again, and al suse-
quent effort to discover or recover the
bodies has been in vain.

CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK

F0T1HIS week all over everywhere Il N mean by that all over these good old United States of America 'Children's Book Week is being ceie- Iorated, and if you feel like l do about |t you1l repeat with the poet the Beau- hiful sentiment:
 Backward, turn backward Oh, time, fin your flight; Make me a child again Just for tonight But there are others who, of course. |don't love books like you and I, and per |haps they are asking:
 Why Childrens Book Week. any |way?'
 Why, indeed!
 Everyone believes that children should grow up among books-plenty of booSs, Ithe best of books-yet this great boon 'is lost to ever so many boys and girls whose parents intended to give them Ieyery' advantage. Parents forget about books, leave their purchase to chance gifts, or hesitate for lack of offered 'guidance in selection.
 ''Childrens Book Week. has been planned as way of getting this situa- .tion right out where it will get consid- 'eration. Those who believe in books for children wish to get out on the front Of the platform for week, as it were, and, all talking together, get the attention Of the great American public. Librarians are planning exhibits. giv- ing talks and offering helpful advice; book sellers are enriching their supplies and improving the service; Scout leaders
 are pressing the point of good reading
 schools are having talks on books and reading; Young Mems Christian associa-
 tions and Sunday schools are taking up
 the subject in many cities; women 8 clubs and Parent-Teacher associations
 are having lectures and displays
 Everyone remembers how, when Tinker
 Bell was dying, Peter Pan came to the
 front of the platform and called to the
 audience, "Oh! Do you believe in
 fairies?' and we all leaned forward In
 
 ker Bell was saved. Well-here are we
 on the front of the platform saying, DO
 you good people believe in more books
 for the children?'' and we rather hope to
 hear the parents aay, Yes, we do.''
 Thanks to the American Booksellers
 association, which sponsors Children Book Week." and is ably assisted by the Boy scouts of America. the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs and the big publishing houses, the children will fairly revel in beautiful booklore all this week everywhere without creed or color.
 1'Children's Book Week" was organ tized as a national campaign in 1919, and
 it was such a tremendous success that
 all the libraries and schools all over tho
