Canon City, Dec. 1o.-That the
Phantom Canon highway and the road
to the top of the Royal Gorge thru
Priest Canon. two of Colorsdo's most
famous scenic highways. will be OPEN
ed TO tourist traffic next season seems
now definitely assured. Both of these
roads were SO badly washed out by
the floods of last summer that it was
generally thought that it would be
impracticable to make any attempt
to repair them. Engineers reported
the cost of repairing the Phantom
Canon road at anywhere from $50,O00
to 100000. and the Royal Gorge at
from $4,000 to 100000 Under these
circumstances no attempt was made
during the summer or fall to open
either of them to public travel.
About month ago at a meeting OF
the Canon City Chamber of Com
merce it was proposed to open the
road to the top of the Gorge and vol
unteers were called for who would
either work or furnish money and
every man of the 113 men present re-
sponded. With the aid of a bunch OF
convicts from the penftentiary bridges
have been built and grades made until
today the work was completed and
this scenic roadway opened for the
first time since the floods OF last
June. The opening of this work has
entailed an immense amount of labor
and considerable expense all of whiNl
has been a. free will offering and
without a cent OF expense to the tax
payers.
The Phantom Canon proposition
was first tackled by the Florence
Chamber of Commerce whose heroic
efforts demonstrated that it could be
done. Canon City then Joined hands
with Florence and yesterday large
force of volunteers pushed the work
to within five miles of Wilbur. An
other call has been issued for volun-
teer workers for next Monday when It
IL expected that a large body of men
from Florence. Canon City. Penrose
and other parts will push the con-
struction to a point twenty miles from
the southern portal of the canon.
On next Sunday when tho mines in
the Cripple Creek district will be
closed several hundred men from
Cripple Creek and Victor will work
from tho northern end Of the road.

ping board operations to deny
charges against the operation OF

Martin ]. Gillen, formerly ass!ct-
ant to the chairman of the board,
in a special report submitted to sle
committee some weeks ago.
Mr.. Piez had prepared 5000
word statement in which he took
up the charges in detail, but it was
not read. Chairman Walsh said tle
witness could read it if he desired

mittee already had examined the
copies furnished them, and that
time would be saved by merely ad-
mitting it to the record. This was
done.
