act the water rose around them and
marooned them on a temporary is

were without shelter except a fey.

A searching party was sent out
from Pennington and shots were
fired in the hope of attracting their

PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS
IN SOUTHERN COLORADO


There is no better index of bust
ness conditions than the newspapers
OF a community. and judged by this
| standard the business conditions and
prospects OF southern and western
Colorado are most favorable. Within
the past ak months many of the
newspapers of this region have made
remarkable changes looking toward
the betterment Of their service to
their readers. Semi-weeklies have
become dailies, weeklies have been
changed to semi-weeklies and the
smaller dailies have made marked i'm.
provements.
Never before In a similar period
has there been so much new machin-
cry delivered or ordered, and new
presses and type-setting machines es-
pecially testify to the confidence
which the newspaper makers of Colo
RADIO have In their local communities,
No one region seems to have a
monopoly on the prosperity. but the
Arkansas valley. the San Luis, the
San Juan. the Gunnison and the
Grand valleys all share in the good
fortune.
It Is also noteworthy that the news
papers are not only the index of
prosperity, but they are to large
degree the makers of prosperity.
Southern and western Colorado
could not ask for any better or more
effective step toward the rapid prog
ress In wealth and population, than
an enlargement of the plants and
equipment Of It's newspapers. In no
other business field is so large a |
part of the product put back into the
ground and turned over and over
