Do you know, those Of you who
read this article, that Meeker could
be made one of the most beautiful
towns In the county by the mere ap-
plication Of little forethonght and
physical energy? Set, rs 1t is in this
wonderful valley beside the river
White, with mountains to the north
and south, the Offering Of nature Is
indeed one to be accepted. There are
numerous trees growing in tho city
but just notice the room for thousands
more, and picture to yourself what
an improvement the planting Of them
would make. Every street Of the
residence section should be bordered
with trees; every yard and lawn
should have set within their confines
at least few. Trees will assist very
materially in making any town beau
tiful. Meeker would be positively
beautiful with such an Improvement
once made.

Believes in Rio Blanco County

A recent letter received from Mr..
Albert Bunch, resident of Denver,
reads In part rs follows:
II came to Colorado from Arkan-
sas, looked over the state, put some
money in lands-and then learned
that the best place to put money is
in country that was not so we'll
taken up; where there was yet room
for railroads and other improvements.
So I am going to try and realize on
my investments and switch to Rio
IBlanco county. In the meantime
draw the attention Of others to your
vast county with Its vast opportuni-
ties"
Thus one man has been thorough
ly convinced of the vsstness and
richness of Rio Blanco, and through
the wording Of his note shows by his
intent and purpose his faith In the
opportunities presented him for safe
and sound Investments.

newcomer or visitor. Let's gnt busy

How Living Creatures Should Be
Treated

prize Winning Essay by Leona Wiidhack)
All animals, whether human or be-
longing to the lower class, should be
treated with kindness. They should
be given good homes, food, clothes,
and an education.
In the United States people are
given and protected In their rights so
the human animals need less protec-
tion. Children, especially orphans
and those who have fathers who
sometimes become intoxicated, need
protection.
think the horse gets the poorest
treatment Of all the lesser animals.
Take, for instance, the stage horss,
which travels from eighteen to twen-
ty miles every day in all kinds Of
weather and over all kinds of roads,
Sometimes one or more are lame, but
that makes no difference, they have
to go on their daily trip. Besides,
they do not always get the best treat
ment after the trip because, usually
the divers are tired. cross or cold and
treat them very unkindly. These
horses are very seldom given the
proper amount Of food because the
trahsportation owner has SO many to
feed and, Of course, wants to make .
large profit, and, 80 thinks he can
save BY giving his horses less food,
but he fs really losing because the
horses become weak and sometimes
die. Az the horse is the beast Of buf-
den It should be given more and bet
ter treatment u
The cat, which, especially In the
last few years, has been misthought
Of on account Of its bird killing pro-
pensfties. That is only one Of the
ways In which birds are destroyed.

The writer offers , suggestion thas

the hope IL sincere on his part that
both the fault and lack may be over

Der Of business people that ''Meeker

remarks seemed oonscien tious In the
making.
And so throughout the state, the
prevalent idea IL that Rio Blanco Ii

Of outside people - to the true posi-
tion Of Rio Blanco county in her ax-
gregation of resources is due almost
wholly to the inactivity Of tho peo-
pie Of Rio Blanco county, and that
is what our criticism covers.
Rio Blanco county is inadequstely
advertised.
The foregoing statements suggest
that something, then, must be done,
and the time to do 1t is now.
Mesa county and the several towns
situated in that county are in high
ly developed state,-but they are
widely advertised; and each town
has al active chamber Of commerce
whose affairs are ably handled by o.
ficient 6mcers. The county - a

and the County Association work In

government. And that IL evidence

COUNTY NEEDS TO BE
HEAVILY ADVERTISED

And we could illustrate hundreds
Of such like instances.
The writer, while yet . stranger In
the community, has had the oppor-
tunity of studying the lack Of en-
deavor in Rio Blanco from dlsin-
terested viewpoint, "a and being .
stranger he must needs be standing
on neutral ground In advancing his
views.
Numerous things can be suggested
as to ways and means of gaining the
attention of thousands Of people by
a merely judlcious application OF
knowledge Of the publicity game un-
known to the uninitiatsd, but the
channels could quite easily be found
and appropriated to our use.
Here is Rio Blanco county with an
enormous acreage of the finest kind
of farm land needing but the touch
Of the hands Of industry to develope
it; our coal fields that are practically
untouched; oil fields that will shortly
be developed into wonderful pro-
ducers; cement field untouched; an
asphaltum bed Of large area; precious
minerals that have yielded wonder
full assay reports; and our building
stone quarries. What more than
these does a community require as
foundation on which to build.
Yet these things are practically
unknown to the outsider.
In these days Of hustle 1t is neces-
sary for the community to present
evidence and argument to the possi-
BILE and probable investor. He will
not even think of an unknown COM
munity with unknown resources rs q
possible field for the placing Of his
money,--but II he has an idea Of the
possibilities Of an unknown field,
those possibilities seem remote In
deed.
And now 'it's up to the communi-
ty.'
Rio Blanco has the resources
there is q big opportunity for invest
ment within the confines of her
boundary lines.
But very few investors know of
them.
What, then, IL necessary.
We say advertising.
That brings the question to y point
Of action, and the action would be q 8
follows:
Gail rally Of county taxpayers.
Form an organization for mutual and
individual advancement. Elect an
able corps of officers,-men with
push and energy. Try to get large

ties will not fall heavily on q few,

all knockers from membership. Sys-
temize your plans,-and then go to

REMEDY THIS EVIL RIGHT NOW.
Elsewhere in these columns will
be found a very interesting letter
from Capt. J. T. Dent, the well-known
Glynn county rice planter, which
ought to he of deep interest to the
people Of this city and to those Of
the community generally. According
10 Capt. Dent, there is considerable
good reason for those autOists Of
Jacksonville and Savannah cutting
Brunswick from the map of the auto
road, which we understand has al
ready cost the people Of this city and
county something like $500, and it
seems to us that the trouble to which
Mr.. Dent refers should be speedily
remedied by the county authorities,
and is a splendid subject matter for
the attention of the flynn county
commissioners. This stretch of seven
miles, could easily be put in good
shape and the cost would not be very
heavy, while the benefit, not only to
those who are inclined to the auto,
but to the great travelling public,
would be incalculable AS little as
some of our people may think of the
matter, Brunswick will surely suffer
by reason of that rOundthe-state run
being changed so as to leave her out.
The whole movement is intended as
a booster for good roads and surely
our people-if there are any in Geor-
eia-ought to be interested in that
great work.
Here is a splendid opportunity for
the commercial bodies of this city
to get busy and see to it that this
seven miles of ''slush and sand" as
Capt Dent calls it's made into a
good road and if they will go to work
and bring the matter properly before
the county commissioners, we are
persuaded that the necessary repairs
will be forthcoming. Another matter
to which Capt. Dent refers, is that
route are not crushed. and that it is
the idea of the commissioners that
will perform that serVice-a
rather poor suggestion to the fellow
who comes across one of these veri-
table oyster shell beds with new tires
on his auto or carriage. If we are
correct in the understanding the city
and the county Jointly own a steam
roller, which ought to be put to work
on these roads and if the argument
is made that the bridges are not
strong enough for the support of this
roller, then it's prtety near time they
were being made so!
This is too small an obstacle to
cause the abandonment of this SPLEEN
did road by auto clubs. etc. and the
subject needs and demands proper
attention. We thank Capt. Dent for
his contribution, which is timely.
