SHORT ROAD
IS IN SIGHT

A very interesting matter in con
nection with new state roads is the
presentation of the roadbed of tho
former Colorado Midland to the state
as a highway. This road is 200 miles
long, extends from Colorado Springs
TO Newcastle on the Colorado river,
and was rendered by A. f.. Carlton
Spencer Penrose and McNeill, NIL
lionaires of the Springs who pur-
chased the Midland and junked il for
old metal. The roadbed is reported

makes a direct east and west high
way across the central Rockies, al.
most parallel with the Rainbow Route:
crossing Ute pass, thence thru the
South park to Buena Vista, and over
the continental divide to Aspen and
Glenwood. The gift has been for
mally accepted by the state and Will
require comparatively slight expendi-
ture to make fine auto road.
But the really interesting feature
for Gunnison county is the fact that.
this road thrf the South Park from
Lake George to Buena Vista is for 7Oi
miles in direct line with the proposed
short line to Denver. A short line
which If carried over either Alpine or
Cottonwood passes would save 100
miles over present auto or railroad
travel to the state capital. This road
thru the South Park is on the finest.
grade, nowhere over four per cent.

only 60 miles from Gunnison. AZ
lake George on the South Platte
river, the connecting link would be
some 90 miles of construction along
the water grade of the Platte via
Chcesman dam to Denver, or part Of
this can be eliminated by crossing
on an excellent forest road already
built thru the foot hills to the mairt
north and south highway at Scdalia.
At our end, there must be new CON

Or Cottonwood passes are reasonable

Indeed, Supervisor Stewart of the
Gunnison forests states to the News
Champion the government is extreme
" anxious to get good road into
Taylor park, since there is here 400
square miles, or X of the area of
Gunnison county which is practically
and whose grazing, timber,
agricultural, water power
and tourists resources cannot be open
ed or utilized without road.
This is a road in which all of south
western Colorado should be interest
ed, since If short line could be open
ed to Denver that would save 100
miles of auto travel for Gunnison, it
would certainly save that for every
point south and west. Montrose,

DEATH Of
". BURNETT

The death OF one Of Gunnison's pio-
necr citizens was recorded in Denver
Monday. December 26th, when al six
o'clock IN the evening, Walker Burnett
passed out from life unto death.
Mr.. Burnett had been under the
doctors care for the past six years,
and confined 20 his bed or to the
house for nearly four years, due to a
stroke of paralysis. He died of acute
congestion OF the lungs. Funeral

noon at the Ieager Mortuary. Rev.
Belsey OF the First Avenue Presby-
tcrian church Of Denver being Offici-
ating clergyman. The remains were
brought TO Gunnison on Wednesday
morning, the Masonic order of this
city, Of which Mr. Burnett was a
member, conducting their services
from the train and at the grave.
4 large number of friends Of the
family, as well rs members of the
Masonic fraternity attended the fun
Cral. Mrs. Burnett accompanied the
remains from Denver.
Walker Burnett was born Deccm-
ber 8, iS4S at Wcllsville. Ohio, MAX
ing him 73 years old at the time of
his death. His early life was spent
In Wcllsville. where he was educated
and learned the trade Of foundryman.
He later worked at Pittsburg and then
at Joliet, III, where in 1874 he was
married TO Miss Gertrude Hammond
Two children were born TO them,
Fanny Burnett Endner. who died some
years ago, and his son, Charles Bur
nett, living in Santa Ana, California
A grandson. William Endner, lives
in GGnnlson. Mrs. Burnett died in
1889.
About 1876 Mr. Burnett moved
10 Milwaukee where he worked at the
trade and operated a foundry. In
1882 he came to Gunnison, the boom
ing city of Western Colorado. He
built and operated the first and only
foundry here. doing some very fine

fluted pillars. steps, window sills and
other iron work of La Veta hotel
were all designed and finished by Mr..

in our city, buying 4 number of
buildings on Main street, which he
held until recent years. In 1895 he
was married to Miss Emma Triplett

time and cared for him in the long
days of his final illness. They moved

Thus we record the passing of an
other name on the list of the makers
of our county, man of ability and
integrity, who had a multitude of
friends among both old and Young,
who will deeply regret his death and
offer words of sympathy to the
widow and son who are left to mourn.
