Of Us! Apparently Our newspapers do
not consider the human eye any more

be gained if types were made twenty per
cent. larger, and the mass Of material
we are supposed to read were twenty per

Speaking of the prospective road
to Nucla and in regard to the opinions
of some that it could not be kept open
during the winter months, Mayor
Stewart recalls that the old stage
road out of Telluride across to Horse
fly was kept open for travel all win
ter. both for stage and ore hauling
without any serious difficulty. The
road became packed and thoroughly
hard during the snow season and
about all that was necessary was a
little dragging after a new snow fall
though at times some transferring had
to be done from wheels to sleds. That
route Mayor Stewart regards as much
more subject to storm effects at win
ter time than the newly proposed
road from Nucla to Delta.

The Fourth of July will soon be
along but there doesn't seem to be a
prospect of much doing hereabouts.
This is not because our people have
fallen off any in patriotism, They are
full of 1t: it was born and bred in
them. Local conditions are mainly to
blame. Our places to put crowds are
sadly lacking and II is not pleasant to
invite n crowd to town during the
heated term and herd them in the
streets or In the sun. Hence. those
who wish will visit neighbors and
friends, seek secluded shady hooks
for picnics or go to the mountains
for an outing. All of these ways of
celebrating our nations birthday will
be both patriotic and enjoyable.
