An opportunity for the board of
county commissioners and the business
men of the towns most vitally interest
ed to get busy in way that is certain
to result in benefit that will far exceed
the necessary outlay is suggested by
the initiation of project for the con
struction of an automobile road from
Carbondale to the Marble quarries.
Johnnie Richardson who returned to
day from n trip to Marble and Red
stone brought information to the effect
that next Monday John C. Osgood and
Col. Meeks of the Colorado Yule Mar
BILE co. will put force of men and
teams to work reconstructing the wa
gon road to the quarries into first

Local Team Faces Hardest
Contests Of the Season in
Race for Championship
MoREHEAD IS CAPTAIN

From all indications the latter half
Of the season, from now on, is going to
give the people of Glenwood and vici-
nifty the best baseball of the year, at
the conclusion of which, in the opinion
of the local fans, Glenwood will be
found at the top of the heap with the
title of state champions.
Sunday the Grand Junction boys will
be here for their tenth contest with
the locals and as the Mesa county team
has strengthened up recently by the ad-
dition of five new men, all league play
ers, some tall doings are expected. On
the two days following the Dixie boys,
the championship team of Arkansas,
which is touring the West, will try
conclusions with Johnnie Richardson 8
pets.
The team will go to Grand Junction
to play on Thursday, Aug. 20, and on
Saturday, Sunday and Monday the
Denver Luxus team, managed by
George Reid, will try to convince the
local boys that they are decidedly su-
perior to the travelling team of the
same name.
In anticipation of these hard contests
the boys will put in hard practice and
the team may be switched around some
what by Jimmy Morehead, the hard
hitting captain Of the disbanded Red
sox, who has been made captain of the
locals. Morehead is now at the sanitar.
,um slightly i'll but will undoubtedly he
out tomorrow.
The fans at Marble have sent word
that if they can get train accommoda
tions both ways Sunday they will come
down from hundred to two hundred
strong and the matter will be taken uE
with the D. 4 R. G.
Further games will undoubtedly bt
arranged with Aspen, the team there
having recognized with Ballinger a
CAPTAIN and Anderson manager. Loca
business men contributed enough to On
aha the team to finish the season.

the way.
They entered Death Valley over the

the machine broke down repeatedly
and under a blazing hot sun Braly
worked for hours repairing it. The
couple reached Garden station after
forty hours travelling and repairing
and were utterly exhausted, but after
a short rest started out again. Ten miles
north of Ballarat, the car broke down
again and Braly and Miss Davis decid-

Rose.
Barely able to drag themselves along
under the blazing sun, Braly finally
collapsed at o'clock in the evening
and was unable to go on. Miss Davis
staggered on, covering four miles in
eight hours and reached the state sta

relief party was quickly sent out and
brought in Braly, and the couple were
brought her last night in a wagon.

Death of M rs. Ellie.

The community was deeply stirred
Tuesday morning to hear of the death
of Melvina Ernestine Stella Desilets,
wife of DR.. File, which occurred the
night previous, june |, after an illness
of less than two weeks of typhoid fever.
Many were unaware of her illness.
Eight years ago this present month she
came from Three Rivers, Que, as a
bride to Island Pond, and at once be-
came favorite in society and church
circles. But she always considered home
making the most important l.art of a
woman's life and to this end she sue
cessfully directed her chief energies.
She always made her home attractive
for her husband and children, and was
indeed helpmeet to him in his trying
work. Three children were born to
them and there were two other children
by DR.. Flies first marriage, and She was
as tender and devoted to these and be-
slowed the same care and affection as
20 her own.
! Mrs. Ellie was interested in all charit-
| able work and a great friend to the poor.
She knew so we'll how to cheer and sym
pathize us well as to suggest relief in
|
discomfort. After eight years Of happy
married life she passes away sincerely
mourned, aged forty years. In addition
to her husband and children she is sur
yived by her aged parents, Mr. and Mrs
Moses Desilets, and three brothers, tc
all of whom very general sympathy is
extended. Funeral service, a solemn
high mass of requiem, was held at the
Church of st. James the Greater Thurs
day morning, large congregation being
present to pay a last tribute OF love
and respect. The Catholic Order OF
Foresters attended in a body. There
was great profusion of flowers from
Isympathizing friends.

Letter to Adam Danfo nth
Island Pond, ".


Dear Sir: A few years ago, New
York daily got-up a great agitation for
dollar gas, and got it. The State passed
the law, and the people liked it, OF
course, till the bills came-in. The bills
were bigger, not less; the law didn't
say what the gas should be.
The price of a gallon of honest paint
is Sl.75; but there's "paint" all the way
from 35 cents to $l.75. Apopular price
is SI.25 there are scores Of "paints" at
that price. Like dollar gas.
If $l.75 is the price of gallon OF
honest paint, you may be quite sure there
are scores of "paints" at all prices from
that down, with paint enough in them
to pass for paint. And what are you
going to do about it?
1t takes from ~ to 81 gallon to pay
the painter for doing his work. Is il
worth while to pay ~ to 81 gallon fol
brushing-on paiut half whitewash?
No. the expense of that extra and
useless labor makes counterfeit paint
cost more than true.
The remedy is Devoe. There are
eight honest paints; Devoe is the strong.
est one of the eight.
Yours truly
