Revised Pilgrim Progress. :

Canon reported by wire the night
before to be washed off the map.)
We found it all right, but an outpost
that could not be left for the east.
Beyond, all the bridges and most of
the roads were gone.
At the Canon City Hotel we met
DIR. Whiting and DIR. Austin Miller of
Delta county and we doubled teams
trying to find how to get out. We
were all Denver bound and in hur-
ry. Again wires were all out. Not a
phone line working out of Canon and
the Western Union had two days
work in accumulated messages piled
up ahead of any we might file.
The Canon City Record was getting
out special every two hours about
the flood but the circulation man
took time to extend US every assist
ance in trying to locate a way to
reach Denver. and in fact showed US
such courtesies that we shall always
remember him kindly.
The Buick garage man offered to
take Messrs. Whiting and Miller to a
town 80 miles north, Guffey, for fifty
dollars and as that seemed our best
bet, we concluded to try it ourselves.
Ae the whistle blew for noon we drove
Lizzie across the railroad track back
toward Parkdale and twenty minutes
later we stuck fast in bad washout.
From there on we toiled for six solid
hours and reached Guffey, an average
of five miles an hour. Somewhere
down the hill we were overtaken by
man and his wife driving an Oak
land six, Mr.. and Mrs. Thos ]. Dean
by name. If we could not make the
acquaintance of this estimable couple
except at the trouble and expense OF
another trip just like this one we
would cheerfully undergo the trials
for that privilege. Mr.. Dean is one
of the best mechanicians and elec.
! tricians we have ever met. He is 8
licensed aviator, and many times be-
fore we reached Denver we botf
wished we had a plane that would
carry four people and about one
thousand pounds of baggage.
Mr.. Dean and wife were from Sar
Francisco and were touring, having
made New York, New Orleans and
from that north through Texas, Okla

CRESTED BUTTE VS.. OHIO CREEK


The baseball game between the
Crested Butte and Ohio Creek teams
played in Crested Butte last Sunday,
was rather one-sided affair. the
final score being "a to / in favor Of
Crested Butte.
T. E. Mccarthy, our new pitcher
who has come to Crested Butte to
play ball and work in the mines,
proved that the cover is not yet all
that can be put on baseball. The
score would have been much closer
if one of our old pitchers had filled
the box.
Francis Hills pitched very good
game for Ohio Creek and was well
supported by the team. The Ohio
Creek players are to be commended
for their team work on the bases;
they caught both of the Morrow boys
on the bases and it takes experts to
do that.
Joe Partch was handicapped by an
injured hand which prevented him
playing up to his usual style. Will
liam Robinson did good work behind
the bat.
"Home-run" Manley repeated his
usual performance of Knocking 'em
over the fence.

The Story Of About Seven Hundred

On Saturday, June 4. 1921, at about
11:00 a. M. the editor and his wife
started for Denver, taking with them
the Normal and High School Annual
for binding We had not heard Of
the food at that time and confidently
expected by doing little night driv-
ing to make Denver Sunday evening.
Near the top of Cochetopa Pass we
ran into fine wet rain storm which
speedily convinced US that Saguache
was as far as we desired to drive that
night, though Salida at least, and
perhaps Canon City, had been our OBJ
jective.
Arriving at Saguache we for the
first time learned of the awful ca
lamity which had happened the eve-
ming before at Pueblo. The telephone
lines were all out and no word of
what had really happened was obtain
able. Two pleasant things, however,
seasoned our enforced stop. We met
Chas. w. Ogden, of the Crescent, and
enjoyed mighty pleasant evenings
conversation with him, and we were
domiciIed for the night at fine, new
hotel built by Mr.. Means, and splen-
didly managed by lady whose name
we do not now recall. 1t is worth be-
ing rained on to stay at that town
and spend a night in that hotel.
The following morning we pulled
out early in a nice steady rain and
did not get out of it till we began the
descent of Poncha Pass The climb
from the San Luis side was through
mud, mud, and more mud, But from
the pass down and clear to within
two miles of Canon City, the road wa.
never better and we sure rambled tt

there were enough to boost Lizzie out

ever been arranged on the western
slope.
Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fire man. and
Willie Keller. who has shown such
speed that he promises to be win
ner, of course the biggest feature,
but three other events are almost
equally good. Western slope boxing
fans welcome match between Kid
West of Montrose, and Joe Black of
Denver who have met, but never for
an extended match like this one,
when they go twelve rounds. The ad-
dition of Cowboy Padgett was great
news to most of the fans, for the
Cowboy has method of boxing which
puts the pep in the crowd Dolan,
who was knocked out by Padgett re-
Gently, believes so firmly that he can
beat the Dolores man that he is box
ing for the winner to take all the
purse The last event, and one of the
best, will be between Kid Belt of Do
lores. and Jimmie Deem of Denver.
Belt impressed the fans very favor
ably in the last boxing carnival here.
