magnitude than those of recent years.
Further announcement of the first
number Will be made soon.
The Chamber of Commerce has Ia
ken three months vacation, but is
planning on n number of things for
this fall. Speakers at the dinner on
Wednesday night were Rev. VIM. l.
Jones, who discussed the relation of
. Rotary Club to a Chamber of Com
merce. Rev. Jones brot out the fact
strongly that where n town has civic
body like a Commercial Club, Rotary
never intereferes with or attempts to
supercede it. Rather it assists and
encourages all activities of the COM
mercial body, only occasionally taking
MP as its own, some needed duty like
the Back TO School Movement" and
matters of that character. In many
Rotary clubs no one is allowed TO be-
long who does not also become men,
Der of the town Chamber Of Commerce
and attend its meetings.. There is 10
rivalry, no conflict by Rotary with any
civic improvement body.
Prof. l. o. Macklan spoke on schools
featuring especially the high school
of which he is principal. He stated
that SO far this term the Gunnison
County High School has enrolled 14O
of whom AZ were from out Of town.
Between 20 and rs other boys and
girls are still in the hay fields or else
where, but are expected to swell the
attendance shortly. He asked the busi-
ness men to back the schools in their
discipline, their athletics and attend

the strong Colorado College Tigers.
This will be the second meeting of
these teams, and the result will be
watched tomorrow with more eager
ness than was shown last season. the
Springs aggregation have Telford
Mead of Indiana as their mentor, and
as this is his second year with "A fine
squad of veterans, he should again
show the superiority of his varsity
over the team coached by krause, his
former teammate mt Indiana.
The Mountaineers are handicapped
in two respects. First because the
game is being played on foreign
field at the very beginning of the sea-
son, second, the long automobile ride
wears and tears man down, but these
are not alibis.
The Western eleven is composed of
some veterans and some very expert
enced high school players, and they
should give demonstration Of fight
ing spirit that will hold the fighting
Tigers to low score.
The game will start ut 2:3O and
will be OBLIGATED by Dana, former
Nebraska star athlete.

will be: eenter-Lake, right guard

succeeded in bringing that game up to

IMPROVEMENTS
|. ON ROAD West
Hope for Federal Aid on
Rainbow Route Adj
joining un n is o n.
New Road Proposed
Out of Town

Would II not be fine to have a
boulevard like Monarch Pass or the
surfaced roads near Sapinero built
right west OF Gunnison on the Rain
bow Route. OF course we are going
to get in time, thru federal and state
aid, all the $50 miles from Salida to
Montrose built like that and largely
without county taxation, since the
route is now link in the great trans :
continental highway system--part of
the seven per cent state highway
mileage to be completed by govern
ment aid.
We can only expect this, small sec
tons at time, but, following Tomichi
Boulevard surfacing east of Gunnison,
which is to be done this fall, there is
hope of federal aid in the not far
distant future on the road directly
west of town. Powerful interests are
at work in our behalf. H. T. Reno,
resident highway engineer, recently
completed for the State Highway
Commission a survey Of six miles of
this route, commencing at the Chinery
railroad crossing and extending to the
Jointed Rod Resort. This will elimin-
ate the dangerous cliffs and zigzags
between the Neversink and the Cooper
ranches, and in fact remedy the worst
part of the incomplete highway be-
tween Gunnison and Sapinero. 1t is
the policy of the government to take
the worst places first in their scheme
of highway improvement.
This project will cost at least
$4,000, and there is some hope of
securing funds for 1924 if present
plans mature.
Connected with this project is the
proposal to vary the Rainbow Route
out of Gunnison to the Chinery ranch,
so that instead of running diagonally
thru the fields and crossing the main
railroad three times on grade, the
road can 20 west on Tomichi avenue,
spanning the Gunnison by fine new
bridge near the site of the former
Zugelder bridge, and making a pic
turesque entrance to Gunnison from
the low divide on the cliff there. This
is suggested by some Of the highway
officials and has points in its favor,
first, that the present river bridge is
not going TO stand much longer any,
way, and, second, it will cut out those
three railroad crossings on grade,
which is not allowable on federal aid
projects at all. A modern river bridge
is the most expensive part of the idea,
but that must come in time anyway,
and the old one can, of course, be sub
stituted on some less travelled high
way.
It is something fine to look forward
to.

Colorado Education
Meeting at Junction

The 49th Annual Meeting of the
Colorado Educational Association will
be held October 16, II, 18, 10, 20, 1923.
The Western division, of which Gun
nison schools are a part, viii meet in
Grand Junction, Oct. 16, II, 10, and 10.
We notice that Grant Rutland of
Gunnison is chairman of the board Of
directors. Among others that appear
on the committee are John C. John
son T. f. Dunshee and William Mel
cher.
Teachers of this section, however
will be much interested in what will
take place at the Western division
meeting at Grand Junction. A very
interesting program as well as a pro-
fitable one has been arranged for the
teachers Of the Western Slope, Mary
c. c. Bradford, state superintendent
of schools, will speak on 1.-THE New
Curriculum versus Old IDEAS" Mrs.
famous moonlight schools will talk of
this work. DR.. David Snedden, q
noted man in education will talk ON
the subject of keeping Education
Democratic, and DR.. Jesse who ia
superintendent Of the public schools in
Denver will speak on different school
problems. There are many more in
teresting topics and subjects that will
be discussed by teachers on the West
en Slope.
Aside from the serious standpoint of
the meeting, the teachers are to have
the privilege Of hearing Anna Case,
the most popular soprano of the Net
tropolitan Opera, sing. 1t is said that
no singer has ever received as great
ovations in New York in the last two
years. There will be also many
social functions, such as dinners,
breakfasts, and college reustions.
Social gatherings will add much to Tho
profit and enjoyment Of the week.
The Gunnison High School football
team has a game scheduled with
Grand Junction that win probably be
played during the convention.

Lake Fork Bridge
Moving Fast Now

The Lake Fork bridge at Sapi-
nero, highest auto highway bridge in
Colorado, work on which has been pro-
crossing rapidly for some months, may
be completed this fall in time for the
early spring travel. The cement a
butments are to be finished up this
week, and the contractors have re-
ceived word that the steel super-struct-
ure was shipped early in September.
If it gets on the ground before October
first, it can be erected ahead of the
snow and be ready to lay the floor of
the completed bridge before travel be-
gins over the Rainbow Route in 1924.
The three miles plus Of new road out
of Sapinero, crossing this bridge and
winding along the banks of the Black
Canon as it slowly climbs the grade
on Blue Mesa, will be completed this
fall, and linked up with the state pro-
ject at Pine Creek, where the steam
shovel is making couple Of miles OF
new road, and crossing Pine Creek
by a gigantic fill, considerably lower
down and in a better place for a grade
and road construction than the former
place under an irrigation ditch. The
next two months will see lots of dirt
fly on this road construction, which
tho only 80 per cent completed at
present, can be readily finished by
freezing season. All of this portion
is on different grade than the present
road, SO that it does not interfere with
travel over the Blue Mesa much. 1t
is very much worth making an after
noon auto excursion trip down to see,
When this project is completed, the
terrors of Blue Mesa will have beer
conquered for all motorists. There are
of course, many miles yet to be finish
ed into a federal aid highway. but
none that are fearsome to timid driv-
ers. Probably the next large road i'm
provement on the Blue will be a new
road over the Blue-Cimarron divide
rs far as the Gunnison Montrose
county line. The convicts from Canon
City, having completed Cerro hill, art
now working from Cimarron towart
this county line, a link which they
may have complete this fall.

ing adoption Of SO cent fee for every

growing class Of motor beggars, and
work a direct benefit upon campers
themselves, by protecting them again
