an hour or more last Saturday evening

port pleasant trip and will recommend
as the most feasible route the old wagon
road up Rapid creek to the top OF the
hoRback, thence south. They say the
old ROAD can be put in good shape with
little expense and that new road from
the top Of the hogback can be built at

considered by all with whom we have
talked that the building Of this road and
the establishing OF a resoat on Grand
mesa, as proposed, would be boon to
the whole valley. There is scarcely a
family but can find time between crops
to 60 for an outing, and the people will
hail the day when this is accomplished.
