SUNDAY TRAINS
TO CIR. BUTTE
Protest Of Citizens and
Gunnison Chamber of
Commerce Is Effec-
tive February II.

Sunday train service to Crested
Butte from Gunnis0n will be resumed
on February II, this coming Sunday.
This announcement is made by the
Public Utilities Commission, as an
order to the Rio Grande to put back
the train which was taken of early in
December, because the railroad al
legged it was not paying proposition
during the winter months.
Vigorous protests were promptly
lodged by the mayor and town council
of Crested Butte, assisted in every
way by the Chamber of Commerce
committee of our city. Attorney Mat
Kochevar prepared the arguments, and
q visit from a representative of the
utilities commission brot prompt re-
suits. While here the representative
met with the Chamber of Commerce,
directors and others interested.
1t was shown that while the tickets
sold during winter months might not
pay for the train, that it was in reali-
ty mixed train, in which freight
constituted the greater part of the
revenue anyway, that there was con-
siderable population both in Gunnison
and Crested Butte which might at
any time need to travel Sunday and
that Crested Butte was good sized
city, as much entitled to mail and
train service Sunday as any other
community in Colorado. There is quite
large school population, Crested
Butte folks attending the college and
high school and teachers who wish to
spend the week end visiting, which
has no other means Of getting back
and forth when the auto roads arc
closed except by train.
This is good e.ampel of commun-
ity boosting between towns. Crested
Butte ought to have this train and
Gunnison was pleased to assist the
movement which has turned out SO
successfully.

ROAD PLANS
WEST OF CITY
Federal Aid Project to
Cost $40, 900; Will
Build Seven Miles of
Highway.

Plans for the state road project
west OF Gunnison. running seven miles
from the railroad crossing near the
Chinery ranch TO Steuben creek were
filed with the State Highway Commits
sion this week by II. I. Reno, resident
engineer.
These plans have been completed
from recent surveys and will probably
be checked over by the commission ex-
perts within sixty days, and bids ad-
verised for early enough SO that the
work can be completed this summer.
The old roadway will be followed
most of the distance, except that the
width will be uniformly "a feet with
a two foot rise from present grade
thru the ranch sections where sub-ir-
rigation is to be contended with. The
curves on Cooper hill will be practical
ly eliminated as will those near the
Jointed Rod resort. Those rocky
points below Fountain place are to
to be corrected, and no curve left
under 200 foot radius, the same as a
railroad grade.
For 1925 similar project will un-
doubtedly extend from the city west
to join the above. The present inten-
tion is not to climb Zugelder hill but
to cross the Baldwin railroad track
and then turn and parallel the D. 4 R.
G. w. right-of-way, crossing the Gun
nison by two bridges as does the rail-
road.
Mr.. Reno will, as soon as the wealth
er permits, take his surveying party
to the Blue divide and make the plans
for steam shovel work from the Mont
rose county line this way. He states
that the Sapinero bridge crews are
now riveting every day, and will have
things all connected up by the middle
Of March. It will be May. however,
before the cement floor is laid.

COLLEGE CLUB HOUSE
MUST Be MADE LARGER
Need of Many Small
Subscriptions to Sup
plement Fine Start
= for Social Center.

Spurred by the donation Of 500 re.
Gently made by Governor Sweet for
the college club house and by his
suggestion that it should be made
larger and better, the students and
faculty are again presenting a strong
appeal for contributions to secure this
much needed social center. w. A.
Manuel is chairman of the committee
which needs $110O additional. The
first thought was for $500 and club
house 26x3O. The new plan is for
30x65 and a main hall 3Ox5O. As
Governor Sweet suggested, there Is
no parlor or reception room connected
with the school at present where
visitors and relatives can be received
and entertained by the students. It is
needed for social purposes and for
meetings of societies, etc.
Fourteen hundred dollars has been
raised to date and the list of con-
tributors includes 80 faculty members,
260 students and 81 former students
and friends. The appeal Is to all
who can afford it to give $3.50, $500
or more II possible.
This will be great movement for
the benefit Of the school and News
Champion heartily .commends it to
the attention Of its readers.
The location is TO be just north of
the main college buildings, and under
the ditch directly west of Highland
Village. 1t will be heated from the

Ignorance, he worked his way thru
unusual difficulties to become the
Father of our Country" a father
whose chair has never been filled since
his departure, April ID, 1865.
Abraham made his entrance into
the world on February IL, 1909, in
that part Of the country now called La
Rue, in Hardin County, Kentucky.
Abraham's father was humble Ken
lucky farmer Of that country and the
Lincoln family was without education.
At the age of eight, Lincoln's folks
moved to Spencer county, Indiana,
where two years later, Mrs. Lincoln,
one of the most devoted of mothers,
died, leaving Abraham almost incon-
solable.
Not until after her death did Abra-
ham learn to read and write, but be-
ing industrious, energetic scholar, he
learned rapidly and began at that
early age to devote himself to liter
ary career by writing letters for his
neighbors. A school was then opened
not far away by Mr.. Crawford, from
which Abraham acquired some know
ledge of arithmetic. He did not stop
at preparing the lessons assigned to
him, but wilfully read and studied
any book within his reach, mastering
all he read.
Time passed quickly with few inn
portant events until Abraham was 10.
He worked for almost two years on q

COLORADO WATER POWER
Possibilities HAVE TOTAL
MAXIMUM OF 5,0s1, 900 4. P
Geological Survey Shows State Has More Unde-
yeloped Power than in New England; Means
Future Great Industrial Commonwealth

New Year Edition of Rocky Mt. News:
Engineers with a national reputa-
tion and experts in the United States
have declared that the power possi-
bilities of Colorado exceed those of
any combination of states in the union.
They have united in the belief that
future developments will mean that
Colorado will be the greatest of ali
industrial states.
Water forms the real basis for these
predictions. There is no other state
with the potential water power of Col
orado. The geological survey reports
show that the undeveloped water pow
er Of the state is tremendous. These
reports are based upon twenty years
investigation by the survey.
1t is estimated by the geological
survey that q minimum of 8A2, 600
horsepower can be developed from
Colorado streams, and this without
utilization Of storage.
5,e9l.oee Possible
The estimate is that by storage this
power could be increased thre times,
or a total maximum of 5,O91OOO horse
power.
These records Of the survey reveal
the astounding information that Colo
RADIO water power can be developed to
exceed that Of NIL six Of the New Eng
land states.
The municipal water commissioner
have. upon several occasions, had en-
gineers investigate the water power Of
Cheesman dam and these reports indi-
cate that there could be developed
very easily q power station that would
generate all the electricity needed for
lighting the streets and parks Of On
yer, and also sufficient to furnish DOW
er for scores Of manufacturing estab-
lishments.
Cost b Another Factor
Power plants now in operation in
the state give possibilities of the pow-
er development. With the continu-
ed growth Of the state, it is the
prediction that with all the resources
of Colorado that within very few
years more power plants will be erect
ed and that the fulfillment of the pre-
dictions of engineers and the geologic
al survey will be realized.
Coal also enters into this develop
ment. The geological survey reports
agree with those of several eminent
geologists that the total coal deposits
in Colorado approximate 1856, 900, oO0,-
600 tons, or at the present rate of
sufficient to last the en-
tire United States 600 years. The re-
port states that this underground sup
ply is more than was originally in the
ground of Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia and Ohio combined.
While the above is a prophecy Of
what may occur rather than the de-
velopment of today, it points to a
future in which Gunnison county will
share. Except Routt, no county in
state has as much hard and soft coal,
and not any community of the West
has surrounding it the amount of un-
developed water power possibilities.
