MAKING \ CORK

The manufacture of u cork l. Il rather IN
teresting process, when watched from the
beginning. Before use. AT the factory the
cork bari, in loose bales 49, boiled for apOUt
half an hour to render it plant: upon
drying, it is sorted into at least ten
grades of differing quality and thick
ness. This sorting is most important, if
waste is to be reduced to minimum,
for corks are cut from the bark trans
vcrscly. and are hence limited in their
diameter lrathor than in their length,
as might at first be supposedD by the
the thickness of the bark. After sort
ing, the sheets Of the bark are cut into
strips ana squares, according to the
length of the cork desired. Next the
cork itself IS carved out of tho small
square block, polished by sand-paper-
Ing machine, washed, sorted, and dsn-
fected The corks are counted by an in
gonious French machine, and shipped in

The party left Alamosa last Friday
afternoon at O'Clock and made stops
at several different points. They con-
slider the Black mesa one OF the most
beautiful routes in the entire west
and noted that a good road over that

Mrs. Sholz and her daughter. Miss
Jeanette, who had never made a trip
through the Black canon come over to
Delta Saturday evening from Colorado
Springs by rail and were here to greet
the auto party Sunday evening and be
entertained on Sunday.
The visitors pulled out Tuesday
morning via Montrose and were to
ship their car from Cimarron to Sapin-
ero. Their visit here was to look over
Delta county orchard and farm lands
with view TO purchase.
Mr.. Sholz is one OF the Colorado
Springs capitalists who has expended
thousands of dollars in Alamosa and
