Paradox Road
Being Considered

Since the Independents agitation in
Paradox country, there has been con-
siderable agitation from people on the
other side of the Uncompahgre reserve
considering this matter in definite
way.
The Nucla Chamber of Commerce
has taken the matter in hand and say
that this is the best possible outlet
for a wagon road. owing to the loca-
ton of Delta on the main line of the
Rio Grande and being a closer haul.
The bringing of this freight over
land to Delta would mean considerable
to this town in commercial way.
The Nucla Independent has this to
say about the Delta route:
This road would come across the
Uncompahgre divide on an easy grade
then down by the Kenshol and Gile
sawmill on this side and on into MI
ella. thence on the regular road to
Naturita and Paradox. This communi-
railroad. Delta being on the broad
gauge line of Rio Grande. freight
could no doubt be delivered there for
fifty cents a hundred less than we
are paying for delivery to Placerville,
and the wagon haul would cost no
more from Delta than from Placer
Vile. and when we wanted to visit
our county seat the Delta route would
be much shorter than the ninety mile
trip we are now compelled to make.
The Nucla Chamber Of Commerce will
take up this road matter at the regu-
lar meeting OF the Chamber and every
one should be present.

The Presbyterian
Church Annex

Plans and specifications are now
being considered for the erection of
an addition to the Presbyterian church
in Delta. The new addition is to be
constructed to the west, running forty
feet by thirty-five feet deep.

ing and extension committee has been
under consideration for some time

Delta Highs Win
Second Game

The second game of the present
basketball season was played at the
Armory last Friday night, between
the Delta high school team and that
of Olathe, and while the home team
won out by score of Sc to 81, it was
not walk-away as the Olathe bunch
put up a good fast game and made
it interesting for our boys.
Everyone was disappointed that the
girls team of Olathe did not play as
was expected. The reason the girls
did not come, as explained by Pro-
fessor Franks. was that they had ex-
pected to have new suits to wear on
this occasion. Being unable to have
the suits ready on time and. naturally.
not wishing to appear without them.
had remained at home.
After the game a short program was
given consisting of a reading by Miss
Briney, vocal duet by Misses Har-
rington and Walker. and violin solo
by Prof Becker. all of which were
well rendered and we'll received.
The high school band was out in
full force and played a number of
selections during the evening and
also furnished excellent music for
dancing which was INDUCED in by
many.
The attendance was large and all
saar,ad to r-raalry enioy the eve
ning's entertainment.

lanent evidence except the scar.
