in which the band might be allowed
to practice rather than an additional

it were possible the city council

they could do nothing for the ar

A business is as mans life, There
are times when one feels .fne and
everything moves along like song,
Then come times of depression and
things go wrong. So it was in the
history of the little enterprise. In
1881 the Cottonwood made it's high
water record, % feet above normal,
setting the mill under water nearly to
the first floor. Ia 1882 the mill was
rebuilt on the roller principle and in
1889 on account of the unreliabi]ity OF
the Cottonwood for waiter power it
was necessary to install a steam plant.

AUTO TOLL ROAD TO
Be COMPLETED SOON
The Road From D0tSerO to Con-
meet With the M0ffdt Road
Is Almost Completed.

One Of the local enterprises that
expects to complete its constructive
work next year and come into the
'fruition of its labors." is the auto
toll-road company. This is local
corporation. and for three years this
company. without fuss and feath-
ers," has gone on building its auto
mobile road over the famous DO
lores cutoff" as one member of the
company expresses it.
Up to this time the plucky build
ers have spent about s35. 900 in max
ipg one of the most important pieces
of road in the state, and adding q
striking and valuable adjunct to the
Midland Trail.
A road which cuts off q mountain
climb. where grades are 90 per cent,
shortens distance, conserves oil, gas
oline, and the automobile is a worthy
object and sure to receive the pat
rcnage of the automobile travelling
public.
A company which goes into a wild
canon of Colorado and builds a road
where the state would not build and
the county could not build. is entitl-
ed to reap where they have sown and
that they will reap abundantly is a
fCregone conclusion and that this
company is a home affair and that
the money made will be spent here
is consoling feature to this com
munity.
A toll road may be somewhat out
of date. but the important fact still
remains that neither the state or the
county is taxed to build or maintain
T. and only those who may travel the
same must pay their tribute to the
builders and after 20 years the road
must be handed over to the county
wherein IL is situated as free road.
Success to this enterprise.
