Here the entertainment consisted Of .
plunge in the great pool And lunshsoa
at the Colorado. wish every auto
mobile owner in Colorado could get tho
right "dope" ON Gdenwood, and then
the big hotel would not half hoA them
every night. G3eawood 10 . twinkling
jewel, An emerald jewel at that, in
the heart of the Rockies. They arc
better equipped 10 care for travellers
than any place that know. The mot
or club has Ane rooms on the main
street, and it is open to all travellers,
where they can get correct information
or rest in luxury and comfort. The
Mccoy garage is in the same block,
as handsome and co~plete - anything
in Colorado 6priags, s.d We feel that
We are pretty strong in that direction.
OF course there are the baths asd tho
hotel, full 1t people when We were
there.
GaEAeld county is up anA doing in
the matter 5f tssds. 4Ais eaning win
ter the canon road Shove tswn will be
rebuilt by convict labor. We found the
gang at work widening strip Of road
shout 10 miles west ofGlenwood and
doing a good job Of it.
Mr.. Parkison, Mr.. Gavin and others
came out few miles as escort, and W.
f. Wallace went all the way on to
Meeker At Rifle we were met by W.
s. Montgomery. Road Commissioner
Walbridge ard others, who escorted US
across to Meeker. 1t is two and q
half hours run. The first half in Gar
field county, is fine, as they have
new road built in 1913. Rio Blaneo
did not get its state money until this
year and they are now building. Road
gangs were met in several spots and it
is the hope Of the Rio Blanco commits
sioners to have most of it in shape
IOr tne bociAuiiity run.
The greatest boosters that We met
were at Meeker. That night they en-
tertained us At a dinner at which 80
sat down, as handsome an affair as
Colorado Springs could afford. The
commissioners and many heavy tax
hayers were there, and they made
speeches, saying, in effect "go ahead
and tax us, We don't care if you get
results Now, it must be taken into
account that Rio Blanco is = county
80 miles wide and $50 miles long, with
only 5000 population, and the road
prpblem is serious. The sociability
party will be the biggest crowd that
ever came in there from the east, an1
the citizens are prepared to make them
happy. They will open their homes, If
there is not hotel accommodations
enough. At Meeker We found w. S.
Montgomery and his charming family
to greet us. They once lived at the
Springs and built the big house on
North Nevada avenue that recently
has come into possession of Colorado
college for office purposes. Their
Meeker estate is magnificent, including
one tract of 200 acres, mostly under
cultivation, 1900 head of cattle rang
ing in the mountains, coal mines and
other properties. On their big ranch
is the site of the agency where the
Utes killed N. C. Meeker, in 1879.
Thursday the car followed the White
river down to Rangely, and it was not
a hard run until afternoon. Crossing
the Stinkingwater basin, in which are
the Rangely oil fields, it was slow 60
