ROUTE
TO The COAST

l.. u. sylvester. president Of
the Spanish Trails association.
returned last Saturday from n
trip to williams. Ariz.. over
the proposed route for the
Durango-to-Flagstaf highway.
Mr.. Sylvester went to Williams
by way of Shiprock and Cal
iente. He announced upon his
arrival that in his opinion the
route is an easy one. and that
when II Is built. giving access
to the Painted Desert and the
Picture cliffs. il will be one OF
the most popular highways in
the west. The only difficult
piece Of road consists of about
l6 miles of sand. but every
where there is plenty of road
building material.
The proposed road would
cut the distance to Flagstaff al
most in two. II would be on an
easy grade most Of the way. A
great amount Of country that
Is Of extensive mineral value
would be opened up. The
route has been claiming the at
tention of the Spanish Trails
and other good roads associa-
tons for a number of years.
and it is thought that a survey
will be run on it in the near fu-
ture. The new road would go
thru along the rim of the
Grand Canon Of the Colorado.
giving at places the finest
views Of the river and of the
surrounding country. The
desert and the Colorado, as it
has been pictured by the great
Zane Grey, will always hold
an irresistible charm for the
American people. This road
will some time be one of the
great travelled highways of the
country.

MRS. EDWARD $. ALTERNATELY

The death Of Mrs. F.. S. Alternately
Sunday morning caused wave of
deep public sympathy for the be-
reaved husband and four little child
rem. The Oldest child Is nine years
of age and the youngest baby Of
twenty-one months. Mrs. Alternately
was IA true conscientious mother TO
her children and her life was devot-
ed to their care and nurture. Her
untimely demise is a terrible blow to
her devoted husband and a tragedy
to the dependent little ones. The
obituary follows:
Bessie May Murray was born near
Arkansas City. Kans.. Dec. 90. 1885.
and died at her home in Monte Wis.,
Ia, Sunday. Sept. s. 1920. after a
short illness from uremic poisoning
In 1898 deceased came to Colorado
with her parents and settled at
Hooper. The family then moved to
New Mexico. Deceased was married
to Edward s. Alternately in Del
Norte in 1910. and from this union
four children were born. two boys
and two girls, aged nine. ak. four
and twenty-one months, all OF whom
survive. Her surviving relatives
are father. John NJ. Murray Of Cal
ifornia; brother Walter. OF Holton,
Oregon: sister. Mrs. Lizzie Winner.

tina Hoben; Dulce. N. Nj. Mrs.

Funeral services were held Thurs
day afternoon at the Christian
Church, conducted by Rev. Elsea.

Alternately was member. Inter-
ment At Monte Vista cemetery.

SPUD YIELD NOT
HEAVY AS EXPECTED

In some places the potatoes
in this valley are not turning
out as expected. In converse
ton with Elmer Headlee who
has large acreage Of pots-
toes, we learn that the yield on
his place is averaging about
100 sacks to the acre. How
ever. if the potatoes could be
left in the ground for some
weeks longer, they would
make a very appreciate
growth. The danger of leav-
ing them in the ground lies in
an early freeze and also in the
uncertainty of labor as these
imported birds who are pick
ing potatoes are sure to 90
south when cold weather
comes, so that a farmer with
large acreage cannot take a
chance on waiting too long to
dig.
AS an instance of the loss in
digging early potatoes too
soon. Corbyn Wright dug eight
acres on August %, taking al
ternate rows. Ten DAYS later
he dug the rows that were left
and had $40 sacks more than
he received on the first digging
besides which the later ones
were large, mature and decid-
eddy better markets.
Verne Drake is getting
about twenty sacks of seed to
the acre and says the yield is
light.
John Hynds is digging a
few potatoes but he says they
are green and he is postponinp
the digging of 100 acres. His
yield 50 far averages ITO to
200 sacks to the acre.
The car situation Is the
same old story-no supply.
The price today (Friday) i
$1.60. Some sections having
used up the home grown stuff
has strengthened the market.

KARL c. SCHUYLER

Ex-Governor Carlson made
a vigorous and forceful ad-
dress in Monte Vista Thurs
day noon in support Of the can
didacy of Karl c., Schuyler.
nominee for the office of u. s.
senator. He showed that Mr..
Schuyler is ably qualified for
the position and that he is of
the powerful character and
personality needed to rep
resent Colorado in the Nations
capitol.
The speaker dwelt upon
Schuyler's continuous support
of the prohibition campaign in
this state and of his work in
the Red Cross and war relief.
Mr.. Schuyler is a native son
of Colorado. When u very
young lad his father died and
he was forced to work to sup
port himself and mother. Be-
ing unusually ambitious, he
studied hard and finally grad
uated in law. Later he accum-
ulated some wealth in the oil
fields and then engaged ex-
tensively in mining in his
home state.
Schuyler is conversant with
the needs of Colorado, it's ir-
rigation problems and the in
terests of the stockmen and
miners. He is a fine public
spirited man and if elected
will make an efficient and
loyal United States senator.
