By the Associated Press. GUNNISON, Colo., March 26.—Great avalanches of snow, tumbling from high peaks of the Rockies, took a toll of four lives yesterday and ‘spread havoc in a sparsely settled area of the Con- tinental Divide, where King Winter continued in full reign over a vast domain in the mountain fastnesses. ‘Trapped as they slept in a bunkhouse | at a secluded mining camp 13 miles | from this city, four miners were crushed | to death when hundreds of tons of snow demolished the camp and buried | it under a succession of slides which continued intermittently during th night. A thundering roar awakened the min. ing camp where the four miners were | | kilied, but the great speed of the slide, which ran in the wake of a new storm, ; Sea Food and Shore Dinners Established 1858 unloosed tons of snow that had accumu- lated over the Winter. Two woman cooks and four other miners, who slept in bunkhouses directly at the base of a mountain, narrowly escaped. Officials believed that only the four men whose bodies were recovered were victims-of the avalanche, although fears were felt that other bodies might be found buried under the mass. Farther south, near the Colorado-New Mexico boundary line, Silverton was buried under 3 feet of snow and shivered in 10-below-zero weather early Reupholstenng 5-Piece Parlor Suites Antiques 3-Pc.

Milder weather - yesterday enabled gangs of workers to clear the mountain roads of great heaps of snow and open up communication with the mining camps and villages left snowbound Saturday. .

KOOLMEBTOR The original green gas Koolmotor—the original high-test, anti- knock green gas—is a pure petroleum product. It is tinted green for your pro- tection. Koolmotor is a real super-gas and, like any other product of superla- tive quality, it commands a premium price. For the sake of your own comfort as well as for the benefit of your engine, beware of imitations. You cannot duplicate the unique value of Koolmo- tor by using any other gasolene that is colored and described as “high-test” and “anti-knoc That fact is proved by laboratory tests and by the actual experience of day-in-and-day-out driving. «High-test” and “anti-knock” are much more than mere advertising phrases when applied to Koolmotor, the original green gas that was intro- duced with great success more than a year ago. The special distillation and processing of Koolmotor result in greater power, more mileage and freedom from driving troubles. Try Koolmotor the next time you fill your tank. After that only Koolmotor will satisfy you. You will be willing—as many another motorist is these days— to drive miles out of your way, if need be, to reach a Koolmotor filling station.
