WORK ON
MIDLAND TRAIL
next MONDAY
Enough Funds For Three Weeks
Work Now Available; Some
Traffic Figures.

That work on the Midland Trail
in Utah will commence not later
than Monday was the announcement
made today by Howard /. Piatt
chairman of the road committee of
the Chamber of Commerce. We
will have enough funds by that
time to keep our gang going for
three weeks he said, and We will
get on the ground as quickly as pos
sIble.
Probably ten teams and five single
hands will be employed and these
should do straight grading on the
road at the rate OF four miles a day.
Seven bridges in which the piling is
already in will be placed in condition
by the addition OF floors and stringers
and seven more will be built out
right. The cost will range from 500
to $3.50. Thirty-four culverts at an
average cost OF $50 or less will be
put in. and in all about forty miles
of roadway will be placed in boule-
ward condition by utilizing the old
railroad grade.
night. gave some impressive figures
about the automobile traffic for
1915 He said that while the travel
would be some larger than last year
he did not expect big bunch of cars
over the road this summer. If they
have good success, however, they viii
be a big advertisement for the 1871 )
business. On the other hand II they
find the road in an impassable con-
.dition, it will mean tremendous
loss to this section next year.
Estimates for the automobile traN-
el from the east to Frisco in 1911 .
vary from 10000 down to So ,o0Q.
Mr.. Piatt suggests that that figure
be cut to 100000 and that Grand
Junction and the Midland Trail gets
but one-fifth of the traffic, when as
matter of fact the road should di-
vide the travel equally with the
Overland route. Those 20. 600 cars
will come during three months OF
next summer and should average $50
ears day during that period. 1t IS
unthinkablo that these machines will
spend less than $50 day each for
many of them will drop as much as
$40 at an outfitting point Just before
entering the desert, Mr.. Piatts fig
ures were conservative in every way.
but his total was close to $4,000 a
day for that summer
With this prize in view the roads
committee may be pardoned II it is
enthusiastic about getting the road
ready NOW for the 1914-l5 business.

in Court Of Appeals.

After controversy extending for
years. one OF the most sensational
cases ever appealed from Mesa county
the suit OF Herbert l.. Carrick VS..
Thomas h. Moore was reversed yester-
day by the court of appeals in Den
YER
The suit involves the ownership of
twenty acres of land under the Mesa

Of town. Carrick who was a pioneer
of the valley, traded the land in
question TO Thomas b. Moore for GER
tain fire insurance stock and other
considerations. Following the trans
fer Carrick claimed that the stock
was worthless and that he had been
defrauded in the deal. He brought
suit and Judge Shackleford set aside
the conveyance on the ground of
fraud
In the meantime Moore had traded
the ranch OFF several times. and an
appeal was taken by him from the
courts decision. The ruling OF the
appeals court. handed down by Judge
King, orders the case reversed and
the original transfer stand.
While the long-drawn out contro-
vcrsy has been pending the govern
ment secured a right of way through
the land for the Grand Valley canal
and there is 81 200 deposit ready
to be paid over to the rightful own

There are no new developments

retired from the vicinity. business

difference between the five guns they
Offered to fire and the twenty-one

men on the wharf and boarded the
boat and took the two men into
custody. This incident disposes Of

ground for reparation because the

sections will be entirely without seed
and in many others there will not be
enough good seed to supply the de-
mand.
The dry season. followed by late
rains, left the corn. kafir, milo, and
ferteria in unusually bad shape and
has caused much of it to spoil.
Reports from many farmers who
have tested their seed show that oft
entimes the seed that looked the best
was either dead or showed that II
was too poor to plant. We probably
do not realize now how critical the
situation really is. 1t is important
that something be done Immediately
Good seed will mean millions of dol

fore the spring work begins. Do you
