Mesa county, losing on Paradox
side. should take in all of Garfield
north of Grand Valley. would
rather see the courthouse built in
Fruita than have the valley divided
One big court house in Grand Valley
would do better than two dinky
ones.
To split Grand Valley in two
would be equal to hanging a black
board over half of the sun for the
remainder of our existence.
When the Moffat road goes
through north of Rangely it will give
our north and south railroad a new
impetus, but Mesa county should not
extend over that far.
