| pleasant trip, but on the return trip
u sday encountered the storm at
Ante-o reservoir and found the roads
impassab e over Monarch and was
compelled to come home via Seq ache,
This editor and wife were with Mr..
5hipley, but fearing that we would
roe reach home in time to get out the
napers. we came via d & R. G. w.
Wednesday morning. Mr.. Shipley ar
rived that night at 11:30. He says
there was nc snow to speak of on Co.
chetopa pass.
Mrs. P. P. Miller entertained twelve
adies at a charming four-course
'uncheons Wednesday at one o'clock
Covers were laid for twelve and all
voted it a most delightful spread.
The house was attractively decorated
in Halloween colors and the favors
were yellow and black caps, which
ach lady wore during the afternoon.
Ms. Millers parties are always very
enjoyable and this one proved no ex-
ception to the rule.
The early nnow played hob with
Monarch pass and many cars were
compelled to go around via Saguache
drring the week. We shall always
believe that a permanent road gang
should be properly housed on Monarch
with tractor and plows and KEEP
THE ROAD OPEN for a part of the
fall at least. 1t would be no harder
than to keep d railroad open and quite
as beneficial.
This week was so-called fire pre-.
vention week. and was supposed to be
announced in advance so that all cit
izens could make a special effort to
put their premises in such shape as
to discourage accidental fires. While
committees were appointed for the
purpose. we have received no stun
for publication. However, as far as
it will go we give publicity to the
| fact
