Mrs. J. H. Mckinney barely escaped
with her life from flood waters of
Tomichi creek last Friday noon. She
was fishing alone when the bank caved
ard she went into a whirlpool that was
over her head. Mrs. Mckinney is
quite large woman, weighing 23O,
and had a severe struggle TO eet out.
Evidently her swimming lessons as q
girl came unconsciously TO her aid,
FOR she swan and foafed along the
bank for 100 feet. trying repeatedly
to get out. but the water was very
deep and swift and the bank would
cave in every time. At last, lust g
exhaustion was about to siexe her.
she grasped branches Of . willow tree
leaning over the current and pulled
herself out.
This happened at the six mile lane
up Tomich creek from Gunnison. Not
q soul was in sight, for Mrs. McKin-

erwoman and the rest Of the party had
gone back to town leaving her alone
for time. For two hours after get

most beautiful Memorial Day !

"Most beautiful Memorial Day in
years." is the verdict Of hundreds OF
Gunnison people at the conclusion OF
the exercises Monday morning. Wealth
er and other conditions made an ideal
day for the observance, and through
the efforts of the w. R. c., American
Legion and other patriotic 0rganixa-
tions, a very beautiful and well-con-
Quoted program was given.
The days ceremonies began with q
parade at nine o'clock from the Court
House to the flag pole at Virginia and
Main, where the large flag carried by
ex-servicc men in the parade, was put
at half mast. "To the Colors" was
sounded. followed by tho National
Anthem. The parade then broke up
at the corner Of Tomichi and Main and
rode in waiting autos to the cemetery.
Mrs. Margaret White OLeary. presi-
dent Of the Gunnison Chapter A. r. c.,
opened the program at the cemetery
with an invocation that was beautiful
in its patriotic remembrance and humi-
lily. The w. X. C. then read their
service to commemorate the dead of
the Civil War, concluding by deposit
ing wreaths at the base Of the G.. A. r.
monument. Mrs. E. M Collins then
laid a wreath on the mound in behalf
of the d. A. R., in memory Of the
dead in our three great wars. The
National Anthem was then rendered
by the band. followed by the reading
Of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by
DIR. Quigley, who prefaced the reading
with brief recital Of the conditions
surrounding the composition of this
great American patriotic classic. The
school children sang America" led
by Mrs. Mary Lawrence. o. s. Cau-

on the Rainbow Route grades, reports
that the work has progressed far

CRISIS OF HIGH
WATER IS
PASSED

It is believed that this week will see
the crisis of the annual food period,
ard to date little or no damage has
been done in this vicinity. Although
this years SHOWS have been lighter
than last year, it was feared that the
late coming of the warm weather
would bring all the flood water down
at once. There is still a great deal
Of snow in the higher attitudes and ice
on the high lakes. The eastern and
southeastern parts of the county seem
to have had the most snow this win
ter, as Quartz, Cochetopa and Tomichi
creeks are as high as last year. The
Gunnison below town was level full
Monday but has since gone down a lit
tie and will probably stay in its banks
the rest of the season. The first
rise in Steuben creek was noted Sun
day afternoon, when Anderson broth
ers promptly took advantage Of it to
drive large number Of logs down the
creek to their sawmill.
Gunnison news-champion., 1921-06-03

on this project is such that the state
and federal officials intend making ii
one OF the principal east and west high
ways OF the nation across the state
from Salida to Montrose and on to
Grand Junction.
About 10000 Of state and federal
aid will be spent on the Rainbow
Route between Sapinero and Montrose
this season. A large portion of this
will be spent from Sapinero to the
Blue. The road coming up the Gun
nison Canon this side Of Sapinero will
be very materially improved as TO
grade alignment and other features.
1t will be widened and made safe in
every respect. $3.50
The advent Of motor transportation
has entirely altered the system Of
road making. Previously roads were
made wherever horse could 20, re-
gardless Of grade, curve and align
ment But with the coming of motor
transportation, roads must be laid out
accordingly to specified grades and
with attention paid to curves. The old
system Of laying out roads with the
eye has been supplanted by the use Of
instruments.
The Rainbow Route is being put on
such grades, curves and general speci-
fications, that in time when the feder-
al government takes 1t over, as it will,
it will not be necessary to change them
and all that will be necessary to make
whatever permanent improvements it
cares, having the basic fundamentals
corresponding to the federal require
ments already up to standard.
Mr.. Cheney is scheming and plan
ming on west end roads in both Mont
rose and San Miguel counties and is
trying to figure out route to the
southwestern part Of the state for a
winter outlet to California. 1t is GER
tainly encouraging the way the Rain
bow Route is coming to be recognized
as an east and west route across the
state.
1t is the opinion Of those who know
that the war department is back on
the movement and is cooperating lin
making this route standard road to
be used in case of need to get sup
plies to the border. 1t is known that
the war department is backing a sys-
tenn of national highways to be used
in case of war for the quick dispatch
troops, war materials and supplies.
1t seems that the Rainbow Route is be-
ing prepared to take its place in such
a gigantic system.
