With the increased number of autos
owned by Garfield county citizens there
is an increased demand for good roads
and it is to be hoped that the efforts
of the county commissioners to cooper
ate with the Mesa county commission
ers in maintaining camp of convicts
for the building of irstclass highway
cannecting Glenwood with Grand June
tion may yet be consumated. Nothing
helps so much to develop community
as good roads.

pioneers of Eagle county and the man

lives in Rifle. Mr.. Conger owns a ranch
on the Holmes mesa and is very much
interested in agricultural matters. He

on "Town Building made by Fred G.
Shaffer at the recent "Harmony ban
quet held in New Castle. The Post
believes that Mr.. Shaffer struck the

are not and never have been built in
dependent of the surrounding country.
although truth compels every close OBJ
server to admit that many towns are
built up greatly in advance of the sur
rounding country.
