Trip Over State. I'M
portant Decisions Are
Pending on Roads

Major L. d. Blauvelt, engineer of
the State Highway Commission, and
actual head Of the vast expenditure of
nine million for road purposes IN Col
orado this year, will be in Gunnison
Sunday on tour Of inspection of the
Rainbow Route. There are several
head men of the road board in the
party, including VIM. Weiser of Grand
Junction, member of the commission
from District No. 2, and chairman of
the Board. They have been down the
Colorado river side and out into Utah
in a conference to secure an extension
of the Rainbow Route to Salt Lake
City. Coming up the Gunnison river,
they are expected to visit Blue mesa
and the roads in our county, day
after tomorrow. Some important de-
cisions concerning future building on
Blue and Black mesas and near our
city, may be expected from this in
spection by Major Blauvelt.
Friends of the highway department

building the Moffat tunnel, he prefer
red to stay with the great task of
completing the highway system OF

reputation on making II the finest in
America. ,
In connection with the Blue Mesa
improvements, ews-Champion learns
that the steam shovel under direction
of George Toupain, is doing great
work in the canon of the Blue. II is
climbing the rocky cliff wall this
side of the Half Way House, and has
already more than half completed this
task. Enormous masses of rock are
every day blasted out of the canon
side, and roadway 20 to rs feet
wide constructed where formerly was
a narrow shelf with only occasional
turnouts for cars to pass. 1t is prob
able the shovel will later in the fall
be moved to Pine creek.
The contractor ON the $50, 900 fed.
eral aid project between the Lake
Fork and Pine Greek, is just in with
16 fine teiims. This is man named
Harrison of Craig, Colo, who has the
sub-contract from Hinman Bros.
Six men are ut work on the abut-
ments of the big bridge across the
Lake Fork, which is to have 280-foot
span and be 1856 feet above the river.
AS the steel for that bridge can not
be delivered before September, there
is not such great rush on this part of
the federal aid project.

Met abes Lost Heavily
In Fire Last Friday

It is not often that misfortune
strikes so hard and so suddenly as it
struck in the lives Of John McCabe
and family last Friday. when their
home and practically everything in
it, including clothing. bedding and
furniture, burnt to the ground, in
about twenty minutes after the fire
started.
The cause is thought to have been
a defective fiue in the kitchen. When
the fire was discovered, some one ran
from the kitchen TO get help, leaving
the doors wide open. When the wind
blew the flames across the walls, the
house being canvassed instead Of
plastered, the whole room, then the
house, was ablase IN less time than
4 takes 70 tell Il. Sch mas the con-
dition Of the interior, that when it
WAS attempted TO save some Of the
possessions Of the family, the efforts
were practically useIess. 3
Conditions were made worse by the
fact that all except one daughter Of
the NcCabe family were at the ranch
when the fire happened, and every
thing those visiting had brought
with them was destroyed. The house
also was not insured.
The McCabes are among the well
known and respected old-timeers, and
have done much for Gunnison and the
community in which they have lived.
To show appreciation Of this, and to
prove the fact that they have many
loyal friends, the ranch people and
the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs, %
whom Mr.. and Mrs. McCabe and son,
James, belong, the lodge has put on .
dance tonight for their benefit 1t the
Odd Fellows Hall, while the ranch
men Of the community have furnished
team and are helping to get out logs
for . new house, work on which will
begin about the first Of the week.
Attic It Is impossible to ever conn
pletely recover the loss in such stu
alton as this, friends Of the unfortu-
nate family hope that by their ef-
forts the loss may be made easier to
bear.

closely followed by Doull with three
safeties. one of them triple.
Despite the errors, free hitting and
fast fielding made the game interest
