OTTO EXPLAINS JUNCTION
GRAND MESA AUTO ROAD

Editor Independent: Grand juno
ton people are really interested in
building road to the Grand Mesa
they really are very much interested.
good deal of the preliminary work
has already been done and this road
proposition is one of the finest in the
state, altogether practical and not in
the least an "absurdity."
Grand Valley people do not want TO
go around by Colbran or up to Delta
when they go to Grand mesa. The idea
is to enter into this mountain scenery
through the front door. which is the
Grand Valley side of Grand Mesa.
We certainly are cooperating with
Delta people in opening up the great
Grand Mesa to the travellers who will
come our way as well as for the home
peoples pleasures. This front road
over here does not go up Hannah
Creek: II starts on Reeder mesa and
on an easy grade leads to the top in
plain view OF the valley. It's immense.
even II we do say 1t ourselves.
Once on top the road leads over to
the rim above Island lake. There 1t
is entirely feasible-very much SOTO
build a road down to the Resort COM
pany's holdings.
This will mean a great deal to Delta
as well as to us over here. for 1t will
certainly be a great round trip. GO
ing up on the Grand Valley side. TAX
ing in the rim-rock driveway in front.
over to Alexander lakes. down through
Cedaredge to Delta and back to Grand
Junction.
Our road proposition is known as
THE Highway to the Clouds" II is
feasible. practicable and reasonable as
to cost OF construction. We will glad
ly show It at any time to those OF
Delta people who may feel interested.

Miss Anna Mitchell, who is visiting
at the home of Dr. Smith. was an ap-
preciative visitor Tuesday. Recently
she was a teacher of mathematics in
the high school at Mitchell, South Da-

those subjects here. Miss Mitchell ex-
pressed surprise at our large enroll
ment. 211. as in Mitchell. from popu-
lation of 5000. only 270 enrolled In the
high school last year, while in her
home city in Pennsylvania, from a pop
ulation OF nearly 5000, only 175 en-
rolled in the high school. Delta may
be losing some residents. but the high
school does not show 1t.

by the way OF Green river. Utah,
Castledale. Salina, Manti, Ephraim.
Nephi and Provo instead OF via Price

cording TO Mr.. Beers, work will

this route 10 Grand Junction can
be opened with little expense. and
although longer. will serve until the
road via Price is constructed How
ever. Mr.. Beers has promised that
the state will have the road via
Price. opened as soon as possible
Before this Is done, the contro-

Matson, former member OF the state
highway commission, and Jesse y.
Jewkes. present member OF the com
mission, have just returned TO Salt
Lake after making q study OF the
conditions. They favor the Willow
Creek route, while the Midland trail
ers OF Price favor the Price canyon
route, No work of any kind has as
yet been done on either OF these
routes.
The fact that none of these routes
are open at the present time and
that II is almost a physical impos-
sibility TO reach Grand Junction by
automobile. makes Il improbable
that many Salt Lakers will attend
the Grand Junction meeting Nav %
as planned by President Hamilton.
