Upon his return TO Denver he will

This is the route that is practical
II is the shortest route during sum

travel il is the only one to be depend
ed upon, as Cochetopa can be used
when Monarch pass is closed.
George TOupain superintendent OF
highways for this district, was up yes
terday making arrangements concern
ing Blue mesa improvements, which
will be under full headway shortly.
The steam shovel and compressor out
fit are being moved slowly to the Half
Way house, but exceedingly bad
weather of the past week has delayed
matters.
Contractors on the high bridge and
highway construction near Sapinero
are expected to get busy at once, and
lots Of dirt will fly on the mesa this
summer.
There is considerable talk in Salida
papers about opening Monarch pass,
and Road Superintendent Miller went
up yesterday to investigate conditions.
He is confident this side can be opened
in a hurry, but there are many ire
mendous drifts on the Chatree county
side, and of course there is not so
much hurry in opening Monarch when
Cochetopa is available.

Ethell-COwan
Nuptials Announced

Two popular young students at the
College, Mr.. Fuller w. Ethel and
Miss Ruth Irene Cowan, stole march
on their many Gunnison friends and
on April 22nd, were married in Den
yer. The secret was carefully guard
ed until this week, when the wedding
announcements appeared, bringing Il
shower Of congratulations and good
wishes on the young couple.
The ceremony was performed at the
home Of Rev. Kitchen, Methodist pas
tor of Denver, April 22nd. Mr. Ken
meth Newell and Miss Dorothy Fitting,
both warm personal friends of the
contracting parties, stood up with
them. Ii was very quiet affair. The
bride. an attractive young lady, was
attired in travelling suit with hat to
match.
After the wedding, the newlyweds,
after short visit in the capital city.
returned to Gunnison and resumed
their studies, and not even their closest
friends suspected.
Mrs. Ethel is the oldest daughter of
Representative and Mrs. Chas. Cowan
of our city, and popular young lady
among the younger set. Both she
and her husband are graduates of
the County High School class of .21,
and students at the Western State
College at Gunnison. Last winter,
however, the young lady spent in the
capital city with her parents, while
our esteemed representative was at
the state house energetically working
for our interests, and particularly for
our college, of which Mr.. Cowan is
one of the strongest supporters, and
no wonder, with two lovely daughters
among the students. 1t was during a
return to Gunnison couple of months
ago, that the two young people decid-
ed to travel together down life's high
way.
Mr.. Ethel is the son of ]. E. Ethel,
prominent lawyer of Denver, and a
brother of Miss Emily Ethel, so we'll
known to Gunnison folks, while a stu
dent at the College, and later librari-
an at the school. Last year Mr.. Ethel
attended Colorado College at Colorado
Springs, returning to Gunnison this
school year. He is a very popular
young man, and wide circle of
friends extend to Mr.. and Mrs. Ethel

WILL WESTERN COLORADO
EVER DEMAND AND SECURE
RIGHTS FROM POLITICIANS!

Grand Junction Sentinel
Because II Is timely. and becaus.
II is 4 truthful statement 81 a situa
tion that constantly confronts tn.
people Of Grand Junction and Westerr
The Sentinel gladly give
publication to and approves Of tn.
following letter received recently from
one Of Grand functions leading an,
pioneer citizens:
May i6, 1925.
Editor Daily Sentinel
The yctoing OF the bill creating
local trustees for the Gunnison
branch of the State Normal School,
while probably unimportant in it.
self, brings TO our attention a very
pertinent and important question in
the minds of the people who love
this country and are permanently
settled here, and that is: how long
Western Colorado is to be denied
any privilege or personal expression
in educational as well as other state
matters.
After a great deal of effort, the
state was induced to utilize the Tel
Ter institute buildings as home
which the advantages TO this com
munity will always remain in doubt,
but the nearest general educational
institution TO Grand Junction is, by
railroad mileage, nearly 500 miles
away, which can only be reached at
prohibitive expense, and cannot re-
call a single trustee of state edu-
cational institution living in West
ern Colorado. People are leaving
Western Colorado constantly to OBJ
tain better opportunities for educa-
tional advancement elsewhere. Our
population is not increasing and the
treatment which Western Colorado
is receiving is not a political matter
but is becoming vital to our very
existence. II seems impossible to
elect anybody either in the senate or
Legislature whether Republican or
Democrat. who does not become per-
meated with the theory of state
politics and carried away by ma
chine domination.
Western Colorado is obtaining no
state honors or state facilities what
ever, and is looked upon by both
political parties as q country pre-
cinct. This is partly due to the local
jealousies between various Colorado
counties, and inability of either
political party in Western Colorado
counties to agree on any compre-
hensive plan for Western Colorado
Development. Is it not about time
for US to get through playing some
body else's game Of fathering every
wild and weird political idea, and
get down TO strong business alli-
ance which will insure US a fair
recognition of our rights as citi
zens? Thirty-three years ago there
was organized in Western Colorado
the Western Colorado Congress,
which started good work. Why
cannot this be revived for the pur-
pose of securing uniform expression
on such matters?
Yours very truly,
S. G. McMULLIN.

UNIQUE QUESTION RAISED

Can anyone recall detective story
in the Bible?
Since the News-C Champion has been
running the series, "True Detective
Stories" the question has come Up
whether or not the Bible contains any
detective stories.
The Great Book is commonly con-
ceded to have recorded just about
every human emotion and experience,
and no doubt many readers of the
True Detective Stories" series will
now try to recall whether or not they
have read in the Bible what might be
compared to the modern detective
story.
At any rate; the series now being
published in the News-Champion has
afforded rare entertainment to many
Of its readers, and those who have
not enjoyed these stories should take
advantage Of the opportunity.
