ROAD CONTRACT

Yesterday the county commissioners
opened bids for the construction Of
the Silt -Collbran road, which will be
1h miles long in Mesa county. The
bidders were Joe Underhill, $4,000;
Frank L. Temple, 1925; Jack E..
Harris, $500; J. L. BaldridRe L
Sons, $3.50. The latter bidders being
the lowest, were awarded the contract
and furnished bond to protect the
county commissioners. Baldridge L
Sons will start construction July 10
and agree to finish the road by the
middle Of September.
The road will be built in conform.
ance with state highway construction
with an allowance of 12 feet wide at
the narrowest point. There will be
several turnouts and where the road
goes through the timber, the same is
to be cleared 90 feet on each side Of
the road to allow sunshine to enter
and dry up the moisture when it
storms. There is one bridge and IA
culverts specified. These are to be
built from selected timber along the
right of way.-Grand Junction News.
The above is the road in which Sem
ator Callen has taken such a deep in.
terest, and for the construction of
which he secured legislative appro-
priation.
By the building Of this road the dis
tance between Glenwood Springs and
Grand Junction will be very materially
shortened, and the matter will be left
optional with travellers as to whether
they go by the present route or take
the cutoff road via Silt and Collbran
and down the Plateau creek thus eff.
-fecting a considerable saving in dis
tance.
There is one advantage in favor of
the new road, and that is that it will
open to the view and inspection of
travellers some wonderfully fine agri-
cultural country with which present
travellers through western Colorado
are altogether unfamiliar, as it is a
well known fact that the best and
most productive portions of this coun.
try are our mesas and highlands
which are not visible from our river
roads.

POPULAR MINER
SuCCUMBS TO GAS

Glenwood and Canon creek commu-
mites were shocked last Saturday
when they learned that Roger Smith,
highly respected in these communities,
had lost his life through gas explo-
sion, while working in the Placita
coal mine near Marble.
The mine was shut down for the
day, the other miners having come to
Glenwood to enjoy the Strawberry
day festivities, but Smith had prom.
ised to dig a crosscut in the mine, and
he decided to do this while the other
men were away. lie was therefore
the only man in the mine, otherwise
the death toll would doubtless have
been much heavier.
At the dinner hour Smith hesitated
about returning to work, and delayed
the start longer than usual, and Mrs.
Smith suggested to him that perhaps
he had better not work in the after
noon. But he replied that he had
promised to do this work and said he
could finish it in about an hour and
a half, and that he would return
early. About three O'Clock, Mrs.
Smith, disappointed that her husband
had not returned, approached the mine
entrance, only to discover the awful
fact that a mine explosion had oc-
Cured.
Mrs. Smith at once summoned help,
and as soon as 1t was possible, men
entered the mine and brought out the

Glenwood IS exclusive annual enter
tainment last Saturday was a real sue
cess, bringing to our city large
crowd of happy people who apparently
enjoyed every feature of the enter
tainment from start to finish.
The program contained several new
features, among them the aeroplane
exhibition by the Gates Flying Circus
of Denver, the rodeo exhibition in
charge Of Herman Roark of Divide
creek, and these features all appealed
to. the people and proved very attrac.
tive.
The time honored features, Of which
the people never tire, including free
strawberries and cream for everybody,
free swim in tho big pool and a free
dance, were retained on the program
this year.
The aeroplane features were espec.
tally popular, the parachute leap Sat.
urday evening and the illuminated
night flight and fancy stunts few
hours later being especially appreciat-
ed by the crowds, while the wing
walking exhibition and parachute
drop Sunday evening were all popular
features and led Manager Eaton to
conclude that he made no mistake
when he signed up with the Gates
people.
The parade was fully up TO expecta
tions, many very pretty auto floati

appearing in line. The judges award
ed the first prize to W. H. Claussen
and the second to Tom Dever, but
several others were very creditable,
indeed.
Herman Roark' s local wild west ex.
hibitions and rodeo performances were
full of thrills and drew large crowds
to each performance.
The Elks band of Aspen and the
Glenwood band furnished the neces-
sary music.
In drawing the Ford touring ears
offered by the committee, Mrs. YES
tella May of this city held the win
ming ticket on Saturday, and @. R.
Mccarthy was the lucky one at Sun
days drawing.
The baseball game Sunday was be-
tween the Grand Valley and Carbon
dale teams, Grand Valley being the
winner by score of II to o.
Those who drew free tickets for an
aeroplane flight were B. T. Napier, Jr.,
J. B. Adriance, Leona Hearing, st..
Claire Napier, Jack Dwyre of Pali-
sade, Roy D. Pattison of Carbondale.
The crowds came principally by
auto, taking advantage Of the good
roads, departed according to their
convenience, and thus avoided tho
jams which characterized our celebra-

Ford Car With Three Passengers
Struck by a Light Engine
at Gypsum Crossing
ONLY one OF TRIO ESQ pes


Sunday forenoon dreadful accident
occurred at Gypsum, by which the
lives of John Foster of Peyton, Colo
RADIO. and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ella
D. Van Horn of Gypsum, were instant
ly snuffed out and Violet, the sixteen
year.old daughter Of Mr.. Foster, was
so badly injured that her recovery Is
much in doubt.
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster and daugAter

in their Ford coupe, to make SNORT
visit with relatives at Gypsum. MI.
Foster and his daughter and Mrs. van
Horn had driven over to the town OF
Gvpsum, Mrs. Foster remaining at the
home of her mother, north of the rail-
road.
AS the folks were returning to Mrs.
Van Horns home, Engineer Sig Olsen
and his fireman, E. F. Clark, were re-
turning to Glenwood with light
(helper) engine, and as they sp-
preached the station at Gypsum they
gave the ordinary signal, blowing the
whistle and ringing the bell as usual.
Mr.. Olsen knew nothing of the I'M
nending crash, but his fireman saw
the car approaching the track, but
supposed, as usual, the driver would
stop the car at safe distance ana
wait for the engine to pass. He DID
all he could to warn the people-kept
pulling vigorously at the bellcord-
but when he saw that they made no
effort to stop, he gave the signal to
Engineer Olsen who put on the
emergency just as the engine struck
the Ford with terrible crash, and
two of the three occupants were
hurled into eternity, apparently with
out knowing what had happened. The
accident occurred at the crossing
which is right at the Gypsum station.

depot platform, her body terribly
mangled and her head and face badly
