SHORTEST ROUTE F1sOM THIS
VALLEY Nd PCE0lO

About half the population Of Cen-
ter attended the celebration at Cres-
tone Monday. While the people Of
that little burg had prepared y pro-
gram and plenty OF entertainment
for their visitors the chief attrac-
tion was tho new auto highway
which Is being erected from Crestone
over the sangre do Christie range to
Pueblo. The people OF Crestone
started work on this highway on
their own initiative, without any
help from the outside. They have
made a god road rs far as they
have gone and claim that the bal
ance OF the road to the top OF the
pass will require less work and ex-
pense than what they have already
accomplished. The road is now
within seven miles of the top. and
no grades OF any consequence.
There is no doubt that II is entirely
feasible and will make the most d.
rect route from the San Luis valley
to Pueblo. Canon City and other
points east OF the range. The COM
pletion OF this road means much to
the people of this part OF the valley
and all the towns should join with
Crestone and assist them to COM
.plete this cut OF. Mayor Ickes in
terviewed few of the business
men OF Center before going TO Cres-
tone and u purse of something like
eighty dollars was raised In an hour
or two, which was turned over to the
Crestone Club to he used IN eonstruc.
ting their road. This, however. Is
only start OF whit we should do
and II is matter that the Center
Commercial Club should get behind.
1t is a big undertaking for the people
OF little place like Crestone and II
really means as much to Center and
other towns In this part OF the val
ley to have short route to Pueblo
as It does to Crestone.-Center Post

liers if the commission decides that

posits justffies such action. The
commission will remain in the North
