Since the new switch or turnout
was put in place on the corner of
Fourth and Main by the street car
company, the street crossings. neces-
sarily torn up in order to get the
tracks down, have been very dirty
and dusty, making it exceedingly un-
pleasant for persons walking over
these much travelled crossings. That
the crossings will soon be put in good
shape is the general expressed hope
Cider day has been added to Colo
rado's already long list of festival
days, Monday the Rifle chambe of
commerce decided to inaugurate
Cider Day" II will be held early
in October and every person coming
to Rifle viii be given all the cider
they can possibly drink. II will no

mato day, Pumpkin Pie day. Potato.
wberry, and other festival davs

cry one to come over and have one"
II is reported today that there Is
full grown bear as ferocious and
wild as ever seen in the DAYS of
Boone. prowling around near Fruita.
II is thought that the bear came down
from the Book Cliffs. The bear was
first discovered on the Glasco-Jacobs-
hagen ranch in the lower end of the
valley. II would be quite treat for
some of the young hunters of that
end of the valley to meet with il
without having to leave the vicinity
of their homes and as they are on the
lookout for the bear 1t is quite likely
that the bear will be killed. Bear
hunting on your own farm" might
be an added inducement to some of
the eastern capitalists who are fond
of this branch of sport but some are
of the opinion that 1t would not be
boost for the valley. so IL is not like
ly to be advertised
