"a Beautiful Resort"

Twenty-Five years ago, under the
above heading, The Herald printed
the following:
Among the summer resorts to be
found in the Rockies we know Of
none of which can compare with
Marvine lakes and immediate vicin-
ity. For trip in the mountains no
prettier or more suitable place can
be found than Marvine. They are
situated in the eastern part Of Rio
Blanco county, and are at the head
of Marvine creek, one of the main
tributaries of the North Fork Of the
White. They can be easily reached
from Meeker by the wagon road up
the river, with the last ten miles by
a good trail. The lakes, although not
very large, neither Of them contain
ing more than 1870 acres, their loca-
tion at the foot of Marvine peak,
which rises to height Of over twelve
Thousand feet above sea level, is .
sight never to be forgotten. High
walls surround the lakes, and grassy
ridges run from the waters edge to
the walls of solid rock, mingled 10
places with heavy growth Of trees.
A strip of land about i've hundred
feet wide divides the two lakes, and
this is thickly studded with pine
trees. At the outlet of the lower
lake is fine meadow which affords
abundant feed for horses. Trout fish
ing can't be equaled elsewhere, and
large game, such as deer, elk, bear,
etc, are just as plentiful. The country
traversed is an exceedingly beautiful
one, repayiny the tourist for all the
that he may be placed
under"
Since then Marvine Lodge has been
added to the attractiveness of the
region. This delightful summer re-
sort is owned and under the manage
ment of Rube Ball, the popular land
lord of the Meeker hotel.

ing Turkeys on Exhibi-
ton; Fancy Chickens.

Thanksgiving LEFT but one lonely
turkey alive for the poultry show
which the Poultry association opened
Thursday morning at 3O6-S Texas street.
The poultry show has every, other
harvard and fancy fowl except the
national Thanksgiving bird but only
one gobbler survived the slaughter of
the turkeys to represent his race at
the show. He is making as much noise
as any five chickens. The big bronze
gobbler struts around his pen with
much pride and dignity to think that he
is the only spec of the family dis
played at the show. He spreads his
long wings and puffs out his chest
to the admiring throng and then COB
HES in a loud manner to attract the at
tention of other visitors to the show
The lone turkey at the show was en-
tered by R. L Jacobs of this city and
he is a fine specimen OF the bronze
winged species.

charge on the other pens where cock
reIs were exhibited. Attendants at the
show finally caught him IN a corner and
he was taken back to his pen
The exhibit of Rhode Island Reds
is an interesting one. These chickens
grow unusually large and are a bright
red in color. They are especially good
chickens for market, and also good
layers.
Many exhibits of white Orpingtons
and black MinOrcas are on exhibit at
the show. White Leghorns, silver
Cumpines, golden Cumpines, light
Brahmas, white Wyandottes and other
