init. The distance across, or the
length of the pass road, from the
Sharpsdale school house on the east
end of Huerfano county, to the San

miles.
Government surveyors under the su-
pcrvision Of w. NJ. Jeffrey, the man
who made the survey for the Mon
arch Pass road. are busily engaged
in running the lines and establishing
the grades for the Mosca Pass road,
and it is expected to have it all COM
pleted this fall so that the building
of the road can be pushed next spring.
Mr.. Jeffrey belongs to the govern
ment bureau of public roads; he is
considered an expert in his line, and
he proposes to give the people who
travel the highways an easy grade
thru that most picturesque region of
real mountains.
Hooper, Monte Vista, Alamosa, San
1nis, Fort Garland, Coneios and
other towns will be easily reached
from the west end of the Mosca Pass
road, and in fact this will be the
gateway for the great southwest to

Colorado.

Sangre de Christie range To the south
of it is Vcta, and north of it arc Mad

still farther to the north, but all are
much higher than Mosca.
The greatest of praise is due For
est Supervisor A. G. Hamil and his
associates for securing the attention
Of the forestry department to this all
important improvement, they having
secured the presence of Col. Greeley,
head Of the nation s forestry depart
ment, on a visit to the Wet Mountain
valley, at which time his attention
was called to the needs of such a pass
Improvement.
The party that accompanied Col.
Greeley, went completely around the
Greenhorn range by way Of Gardner
and back thru the Royal Gorge, and
during the trip north the full length
of the Wet Mountain valley, full sight
was had Of the great Sangrc de
Cristo range on their left: this high
official became so impressed with the
scenic grandeur and the natural re-
sources of the region that he prom
ised without hesitation that some
thing substantial should be done for
the San Isabel National Forest.
Building Of the Mosca Pass roadway
is one of the fu1fillments of the
promise, and other substantial i'm
provcmcnts, it is sure, are to follow.

years ago was a popular idol. Segura,
who always has been wealthy and
took up bull-fighting for the pleasure
of it, has announced that two month s
training has made him physically fit
and he has been chosen to open the
season.
Ono of the greatest contests in the
history of bull fighting is expected to
be staged during the Christmas holi-
days when Rudolfo Gaona, Juan Bel

the same bill. These fighters are re
