Greatly Enthused
Over Great
Highway Project

Secretary Bradbury of the Chamber
of Commerce and G. v. Hodgin Of the
Board of County Commissioners have
returned to Canon City from Denver.
much enthused over the National
Park-to-Park highway. which was con-
sidered at an interstate convention
held in the capital city last week
This highway. designed to be the
greatest in America. will pass through
this city and, il built. as there is every
reason to believe 1t will be, will bring
thousands Of motor tourists here eevry
year.
This magnificent highway project
was discussed in a business way by
prominent citizens OF half a score of
states at the Denver meeting, and
plans formulated for it's construction
This wonder roadway. linking to-
gether IL national parks in nine
states, will be $3.50 miles in length
and will be the most marvellous motor
course on the continent.
The purpose of this mammoth un-
dertaking is to make more easily OF
dSCCos Tie SiCal tCCi
Fairgrounds OF the United States, and
to keep at home as far as possible
the great food of American tourist
travel that goes to Europe every sum-
mer for pleasure. Before the war
Americans spent s500.00O, 900 every
year doing" the Alps and the Appe-
mines and in visiting the great cities
across the-water. Fresh strides are
being made in Europe to regain this
yearly shower of gold. The National
Park-to-Park Highway Association has
taken steps for transposal of this
huge sum of money by securing its
expenditure at home by making avail
able the interesting places in this
country through the agency of the
master highway of the world. The
proposed roadway will also open up
for development the agricultural and
industrial resources OF the West.
The American Automobile Associa-
tion and the National Park-to-Park
service Of the Department of the Inte.
rior is backing this national park-to-
park highway proposition. as are also
Western chambers OF commerce. mo-
tor organizations, agricultural socle-
ties and many other comercial bod
les. 1t was decided at the Denver
to memorialize Congress
for an appropriation OF s5.000.000 TO
assist in starting the undertaking. II
as computed that II will cost $780,
0O0. 900 to build and hard-surface the
entire roadway.
The diversion OF European travel by
means of the greatest publicity and ed
ucational campaign ever launched.
backed by a congressional phlanx rep.
resenting dozen Western states, in
cluding Colorado, was the task as
sumed by the 100 or more delegates
composing the convention last week
A state organization to further the
undertaking has been formed with
Harry n. Burhans as executive chair
man. and 1t will cooperate with the
pational organization in carrying out
the proposition.
There were IS delegates from Cal
ifornia at the Denver meeting. be-
sides representatives from Utah. Ne
vada. Idaho. New Mexico, Oregon.
Washington. Montana. Wyoming. Col
orado and other states. The various
towns along the route of the contem-
plated highway will have representa-
tives in the state organization. Its
general offices will be in Denver.

rst time among the voters of the

first time among the voters of the
city.
When the places of registration
opened at noon the officials in
charge found women waiting on al
most every doorstep. There, was a
concerted feminine effort to have :
woman's name lead each fresh and
unspoiled page-and they succeeded
in many instances. Numerically
the men soon overpowered their
newly enfranchised mothers, sisters,
aunts and swcethearts. But the
ladies got there first.
About noon it was "fifty-fifty"
proposition. The sexes were almost
evenly divided, with a slight lead
in favor of the men, But as the
minutes went on the men showed
up in increasing numbers, while
the woman began to decrease.
Election officials were somewhat
surprised with the frank manner
in which the women answered ques
tons, for few of them showed any
hesitarcy regarding their ages. All
went about registering like veterans.
