the county commissioners would de-

OF the fact that the commissioners
are spending nearly $1,000 a
month on the Plateau road and this
proposed road not only accommodates
good many ranchmen along, but it
is the natural outlet for the Mesa
stage route and is the survey of the
proposed state automobile road hav-
ing much less grades and being above

for the commissioners to claim they

at the campfire in the evening. AT
both these gatherings there was a
fine program of music and addresses.
