OTTO THINKS
COMPANY PLAN
IS BEST WAY

August :, 1919.
To The Daily Sentinel:
How to make one dollar do ten
dollars worth of good is what some
one wants to know. II is in regard
to the Paradox road.
1t will be remembered that certain
members OF the Commercial Club in
Mahoney's time put up $40 apiece
for n preliminary survey for the
Grand Junction and Paradox rail-
road 1t was found out at that time
that it was feasible to hang rail-
road on "A cliff That is, il was re-
ported back that it was feasible for
the line to leave the Unaweep canon
near Ute creek and to continue over
the bench.
Now $500 will be raised for
Paradox road survey, to have road
staked out and cross-sectioned and
put on blue print, so that the state
may have the figures or the estimat-
ed cost of the road. $3.50 of this
amount will be raised in Grand June
tion and the same amount in the
Paradox 1t will strain Grand June
tion people to raise their part-some
are able to contribute; some would if
they could, while others are indiffer-
ent.
With the change from the dad
hill' to run up East creek from
Whitewater, the road through the
Unaweep canon to Gateway is fairly
acceptable.
Last winter our county commits
sioners were asked to go with tine
county surveyor to select the site for
the bridge across the Dolores. 1t is
from Gateway up the river that the
road stakes are to be set.
Fifteen hundred dollars is n pile
of money, as everyone interested well
knows. The facts in the matter are
that, when Grand Junction and Para
dox people get this road to Gateway,
somebody will get it in his head to
continue down the water-grade from
Gateway, and will cross over the low
er hills across the state line to the
railroad at Cisco or Mars. There is
no use for anyone to say that to
Grand Junction is the only water
grade in and out of that district.
There is no water grade about it from
Gateway to Whitewater. From Gate
way down the river there is a road
for several miles already. and then
the country between the Dolores and
the Grand river near the state line
is lower than the Unaweep Canon
pass and more open-a winter range
over to the Grand valley.
1t was suggested last winter that
the Grand Valley people continue
their efforts in securing railroad
into the Paradox country; that To-
cal company of people from Fruita,
Grand Junction, Clifton and Palisade
should be organized. and that a sur
Neying party of active young men
should go into the field to make
preliminary railroad survey. taking
part money and the balance in stock
for their work. In that way one dol
lar of Grand Valley cash money
would do ten dollars worth of good.
Fifteen hundred dollars raised now,
just to get the survey made for
wagon road, depending on the ten
million bond issue to carry; that state
money then may be available to reim-
burse the people for half of this
amount and to build the road, is all
too flimsy. If this county should be
bonded, then it would be left for
Montrose county to do the same
thing in order to build the Paradox
end of the road; but such a thing
would never happen (only, perhaps,

A new treatment for cancer, which
the experimenters are careful to de
scribe as yet as n treatment" and
not as a cure" is being tried in
Professor Czerny's Samaritan Hos
pital at Heidelberg with results even
more favorable than were antici-
pated.
The treatment is based on dis
covery made in investigating the
effects of Rontgen and radium rays
upon cancer. 1t was found that these
rays transformed lecithin, a phos-
phorized fat found in the tissues of
the body. into cholin, a substance
well known to chemistry, and it was
coniectured that it was this cholin
which broke down the cancer cells
Experiments upon animals appear
ed to confirm this theory, and Sc pa
tients in the Samaritan Hospital
then received injections of cholin. In
every instance an improvement was
noted. 1t is yet too soon to say
whether complete cures can be eff
fected, but the physicians in charge
are hopeful.

peared in a body at headquarters and
asked to be excused. The captain in

sent It to the commanding colonel of
the district. concluding with the
words: IF the matter is not settled
in manner satisfactory to us We
shall feel compelled to have il
brought up in the Diet" Cthe new

This was looked upon as contrary
to military regulations. which pro-
hibit the handing in of joint COM
plants by several persons. and the
threat was looked upon as an insult
to the military power, as well as re.
sistance to authority. The colonel
carried the matter before the appro-
PIRATE military court. which fully sus-
tanned his view. and had no option
but to inflict the minimum sentence
of six months Imprisonment.
