About Girls

This essay was picked up on the
street by one of the office force. 1t
probably expresses the thoughts of
some schoolboy:
"Girls are the sisters of boys and
has long hair, wears dresses and
powder and lot foolish fixings. The
first girl was called Christmas eve
though never cud see why. Most
every family has one girl and some
OF 'em that is in hard luck has two or
three. We have girl in ourn who is
my sister. Girls can grow older and
get younger. My sister has been %
fur three years and some day we may
be twins. Girls play pianner and talk
about each other. Fat girls want to
be thin and thin girls want to be fat
and all Of them want to marry doods.
Why the Lord made girls nobody
nos, but think it were to go to
church and eat ice cream. They is
three kinds of girls, pretty girls, ugly
girls and them that has money, and
all of them is afraid Of mice and
bugs"

A3VV0 8NVUA8
In response to published call, =
goodly gathering Of citizens assem-
bied at the court house Monday af-
ternoon to consider the question Of
improved roads In Rio Blanco county,
and more especially the question In
It's relation to the proposed Trans
continental Highway.
w. 8. Montgomery acted - chair
man and A. L. Strehlke rs secretary.
Nearly every one present had
something to say, and all agreed that
good roads were Just the thing, but
how to get them was not easy Of
solution.
Among those who gave their views
on the matter in hand, were: J. G.
Gentry, w. 8. Montgomery, w. H.
Clark, L. b. Walbridge, Ambrose
Oldland, H. J. Hay, J. P. Ford, Perry
Spurlock and Col. Montgomery.
All agreed that 1t was the duty and
interest Of the people Of White river
valley to assist In every way possible
to get the Coast to Coast highway
through by way of Rife, Meeker and
VernAl, Utah, to Salt Lake City.
With this end In view, q committee
Of nine was appointed to take charge
Of the whole matter.
This committee Is IS follows: J. G.
Gentry, w. H. Clark, L. B. Wal

Ambrose Oldland, F. sE. Sheridan
and l.. b. Walbridge.
Messrs. Moulton and Hay were ap-
pointed committee to confer with
the county commissioners as to the
matter Of funds.
A general discussion as to how to
obtain good roads and keep them SO,
then ensued. The principal speakers
on this phase of the business were
Messrs. Gentry, Col. Montgomery,
Sheridan, Hay, Walbridge, Ford,
Riley and Spurlock.
1t was the general opinion that 1t
would be useless to get good roads If
some means to keep good was not
adopted Mr.. Gentry made some
sensible remarks on the subject and
closed by agreeing to subscribe $500
toward raising = fund to help the
freighters procure broad tired wheels
for their wagons. Others present
agreed to subscribe literally to this
object.
The meeting adjourned with the
understanding that the general COM
mittee Of nine meet that evening ut
the First National bank to organize.
At this meeting it WAS agreed to
send . delegation Of three to Denver
to look into the good road proposition
generally and sss what ceald b
done toward placing the Aeeker-
Rifle road on the Transcontinental
Higawsy.
Messrs. Gentry, Clark and Wal
bridge were named as said commit
tee.
Messrs. Clark and Walbridge left fol
Denver Thursday morning. Pressing
legal work prevented Mr.. Gentry
going.

More publicity"

Our neighbors are beginning to
take note of some Of the undesirable
publicity Meeker and Rio Blanco
county is now getting In the Denver
'.yellows."
Following Is from the Craig EN-
pire:
Among the wild pipe dreams sent
to Denver dailies by that volnble
Meeker correspondent is one to the
effect that Oak Creek is conducting q
strenuous campaign to secure the
permanent location of the Moffat
county seat. We trust this will not
come true, as 1t would be deucedly
announcement, as we'll as unusual, to
have the county seat fifty miles out
side the county"
The Yampa Leader says: ''rhere
is q newspaper correspondent at
Meeker who has developed = new
kind Of - nose for news" He culls
items from the Routt and Moffat
papers and then sends them to Dem
yer under Meeker date line.''
The Craig Courier refers to this
same correspondent rs the Meeker
Maunchausen.
Thus 1t will seem that Meeker is
getting. considerable unenviable no
toriety. But this alleged "hot-stuff'
is evidently what the Denver "yel-
lows" want-the more wild and
untruthful the better it suits them.
From the last issue of the Rifle
Telegram:
I'm regard to this roadway, (the
Meeker- Rifle road) 1t IL reported
that the good roads movement said
to have been organised ut Meeker by
the somewhat cratic publicity man
of that territory, Is yet in the news
paper stage of development, Is the
great amount Of work done and about
to be done has failed to mAterialize.
The Rife end Is in pretty fair shape,
and the Meeker end could be put In
that condition II there was . little
more work done on the roads and
little less road work done In the Dem
yer papers"
