The New Road to
Paradox Valley

There is. or should be. much more
good sense in building. or rather COM
pleting, the road to Paradox valley
from Delta than in overreaching our
selves in an effort TO build automobile
roads.
Both are no doubt beneficial-good
roads everywhere are a valuable asset
but the practical benefits to be de-
rived are first to be considered.
II, as is well proven, Delta is the
nearest and most practical outlet for
the radium mines, agricultural and
stock sections of the Paradox country,
then the value of good wagon road
does not even need argument and
there should be as little delay as pos
sible in building that road.
1t has been shown that the compile
ton of that road would not require a
great amount OF money or time, as We
already have road practically to the
Divide.
Our people are interested and their
interest should not be allowed to lapse.

I'VE are now in the midst of the

of his life If he does not show at one
