Crowds and Winning
Glory as Well as Hav-
ing Fun.

The Gunnison band Of College
and High School students, under
direction Of F.Geo. Damson and num-
bering 36 pieces, is in Denver this
week. playing for the assembled
crowds and making reputation for
themselves. Phone messages this

q strenuous day by playing last night

ment was given to secure more funds

ing the muddy roads by auto, and ar
irving in Denver yesterday morning
are taking part in all the festivities Of
the occason. They will give six set
street concerts, besides playing for u
number of special events, and Of
course getting into the game from
every angle. Last year our Gunnison
band won prizes, and we expect then,

Junction Men Get Sapi-
nero Bridge Contract

Contractors Winterbottom and
Lumsden Of Grand Junction have been
awarded the contract for the surfac-
ing Of "a miles Of highway near Sapi-
nero and for erection Of what will
be the highest automobile bridge in
Colorado. This bridge will Be- 1870
feet long and will span the Lake Fork
Of the Gunnison Ito feet above the
level Of the stream. The bridge and
road work will approximate $s5, 900
in cost.
Work will be begun ON the bridge
as soon n the delivery Of materials
can be secured.
As the bridge and road across the
Peterson ranch to Pine creek will b.
practically new grade thruout, this
will not interfere with travel during
the summer Of 1928. and should he
completed by autumn. II will elimin-
ate the present river-edge road across
the Lake Fork the dangerous crossing
Of the railroad and the hard and mai :
row climb up the canon side west of
the Lake Fork. When the new road
is completed 1t is probably the old
one will be kept open for migratory

necessary. However, the young man
decided to make the trip on foot and
walked into the town that has ever
since been his home-a town he helped
to build, boosted for, believed in and
took pride in calling home.
On his arrival here he Joined his
brother, the late George w. Lightley,
who had preceded him q year or 20.
