leave no room for criticism. The
menu was:
Consomme in cups
Sliced Tomatoes with Dressing
Green Peas Potato Croquettes
Salmon Salad, Mayonnaise Dressing

LITTLE DOUBT that
THE ROAD CAN BE BUILT FOR
THE AMOUNT ASKED FOR
The Necessity for First-Class Highway
to the Top Of the Royal Gorge Is
Generally Conceded
Its Construction Matter of More Than Ordinary Interest
to the People of Fremont County

ter than trail 1t is very generally
agreed that good public road will
have to be built to the top OF the Roy
al Gorge before great while and the
belief is rapidly growing that the
county commissioners should "do it
now"
1t is discreditable to the enterprise
of the people of Fremont county that
first-class public highway to the top
of the Royal Gorge is not now in ex-
istence. That it's construction cannot
be very much longer delaye' is as
sure as anything in the future can be.
The Daily Record has had occasion to
state more than once during the last
year or two that the beauty of the
scene from the top of the Royal Gorge
does not seem to be fully appreciated
by the people of Canon City and of
Fremont county otherwise they would
see to it that it was made more ac-
cessible to the public. 1t has been pro-
nounced by tourists as affording one
of the most magnificent mountain
views on this continent and surprise
has been expressed that it has been
SO long neglected.
After making somewhat exhaust
i've study of the engineering features
of the proposition County Surveyor
Chas. L. Milton is convinced that a
fine public road can with prison labor
be constructed to Parkdale via the
top of the Royal Gorge with the $4,000
which the petitioners request the
county commissioners to set aside for
that purpose The building of a splen-
did road to the top of the Royal Gorge
is an enterprise that will enlist the
sympathy and encouragement of every
, taxpayer in Fremont county, and, 1t
is hoped, that the long cherished am
bition of the public in that respect
! will soon become a reality.

Alfalfa Enriohss the Soil.

Alfalfa. like corn and cotton. de
mands certain conditions OF the soil
and certain constituents In that soil.
Every crop demands certain foods.
All crops except alfalfa and the other
legumes obtain practically all their
food. including nitrogen. from the soil.
The latter crops use nitrogen, but get
IL from the air. Alfalfa takes nitrogen
from the soil only during the first few
months OF its growth. and thereafter
not only takes its own necessary sup
ply from the air. but a large surplus

for whatever crop may follow. Other
crops take much nitrogen from the
