HEROISM OF GIRL SAVES
HER TEACHERS LIFE

During the burning of the school
house on the Lake Fork which oc-
CURED Tuesday, and is reported on the
last page Of the News Champion by
our correspondent. Miss Winnifred
Webb, an incident took place which the
young lady does not report.
In her excitement at the fire and
desire to save two pet canary birds
which the children loved, and her own
clothing and library, Miss Dorothy
McKenna, the teacher attempted to en-
ter the blazing interior. The door was
all afire, SO she kicked in window,
and began to scramble into the blaz-
ing interior. Miss Webb saw and
realized the danger and promptly
siezed her teacher. Miss McKenna
was frantic with excitement and
fought like q wild thing, but the pupil
knowing it was certain death to enter,
held her firmly in spite Of bruises and
buf1ets, and pulled her teacher back
thru the window and away from the
building, holding her tightly until she
tainted Miss McKenna weighs only
ITO, and Miss Webb was strong enough
to save her.
Miss McKenna writes the News
Champion . letter Of appreciation Of
the girls levo1-headedness and pres
ence Of mind, rs undoubtedly saving
her life. Not many girls would have
had ths judgment and tie nerye to

FOR A|CHWAY
NINE MILLION
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON
JOB FOR GOOD ROADS

Commissioners Whalen, Sullivan
and Knowles Of Cunnison county
went to Colorado Springs Monday
evening as members Of the advisory
board Of the State Highway Commis-
sion. which will take important ac-
tion on certain road building plans
resulting from the action Of the peo-
pie in voting the last six million dol
lar bond issue.
The Highway Commission is max
ing up its budget for 1923 and the
commissioners decided they would
overlook no opportunity to get Gunni-
son roads on the map. Very liberal
appropriations are looked for. as the
Rainbow Route, now being on the phi
mary thorofare must be expanded to
a standard road its entire length, and
there are many side roads and forest
highway to construct in n county al
most as large as the state of Con-
necticut.
The task, it is believed will require
a month and it is. expected to be late
in December when the completed bud
get, which observers predict will total
50 900, 900 is submitted to Governor
Shoup for approval.
Included in the new budget, il was
said, will be S3,000,000 which was in-
cluded in the 1929 budget which was
not spent, it was pointed out, because
the short time of the construction
season made it impossible to undertake
all projects.
The coming year is expected to wit
ness great strides toward completion
of the interstate system and high
ways upon, which under regulations
laid down by congress, all federal aid
moneys must be- expended. In addi-
tion to the federal aid ard state funds
left over from 1922. there will be
available for expenditure on interstate
bond issue voted at the recent election,
SO it is said.

COUNTY WILL
BUILD GARAGE

At the close of their session last
week 10 fix tax levies for the year, the
county commissioners decided upon an
additional mill levy TO build county
garage. This will raise over $4,000,
and be enough to erect d substantial
structure, probably upon the site Of
the present sheds which house soma
of the machinery.
Gunnison county has now acquired,
mostly by gifts from the army. . feet
Of motor trucks, tractors, graders, etc,
that runs about $4,000 In cash value.
II will from now on cost around 500
a month to keep even part of it in the
Gunnison garages and this is eight
per cent interest on SIS. 600, so that
it has been deemed wise TO make the
start toward county building, with
steam heat and modern equipment.

COlLEGE TRIMS
c. c. YEARL|NGS

Colorado Western College, other
wise the c. S. n. S. trimmed the fresh
man team from the College at Colo
rado Springs Saturday on the local
field to the tune of 60. The touch
down came in the second quarter. when
an end run and two forward passes
gave the ball TO Paul Wright for a
touch down.
The beefy team for the East Slope
was the superior by an average Of l5
pounds TO the man in line and almost
that as an average Of the eleven. They
were good players and held their line
against the hardest slams OF Coach
Krause's pigskin warriors. But neither
could c. C. gain thru the Gunnison
line, except for short distances that
rarely yielded a first down. Several
times they pounded down the field
close to our goal line. but the Gunni-
son college men held them and punted
or passed out of danger. One remark
able kick by fulIbaek Ralph Wright,
was good for a 90 yard gain.
c. {. players were good on short
passes, whereas passes Of Gunnison
frequently failed, but were good for
long gains when they did connect.
Efforts are being made to secure
a game with some eastern school next
week, or Thanksgiving day Possibly
the team will go to Oklahoma.
