 Generally when you get into a coun- try with Indian trails for roads YOU don't expect to find much paint upon the farm residences, but this section IS striking exception. Nearly every farm house that we drove up to was neatly painted, and a number of in stances this paint had spilled over to the barns and outhouses. People who Will paint their houses and barns are not going to be long content with poor roads. So while we saw much In the country to criticise, the best thing in our opinion is the fact that there IS such a general awakening go- Ing on among the farmers of this sec ton that 1t won't be long before they will take hold of these things and right them.

A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA

The following written by Bessie Mae Scott, is selected as the best manu- script from the 9th grade at the pub ilc schools:
 "As We go on we come to Great Salt Lake City. It is not situated right on Salt Lake, but is several miles back from it.
 Salt lake is a great lake. It is the next, to the saltiest body of water in the world The Dead Sea is the saltiest. There are several rivers Iemptying into it, but there is no out let. In this way the lake holds all of the salt and causes the water to be salty.
 "The way salt gets into the rivers is this way. The water seapes into the earth and takes up all of the salt Then the water goes to the river. When the salt gets to the lake it set ties on the bottom because it is in Istill water.
 "The way they get the salt is they have a basin and put the water in it and let the salt settle on the bottom and then they drain the water off and leave the salt in it. They do pot ash the same way.
 After awhile We come to the city where the Mormons live, on the Utah Desert.
 "We get off here and change our cars. As our train is late we take a walk in the city. It is a beautiful city. The Mormons are of a more agricultural people than the Ameri- cans.
 "We stopped and talked to an old Mormon, who tells us that before the Americans came there that there was no stores at all hardly, but that since the Americans came the town has grown very much.
 "We go to see the Mormon Church.
 It is beautiful church. The win dows are of all beautiful colors.
 "Now as it is almost train time, we must hurry back to the depot to catch our train.
 "As we go across the Great Ameri- can Desert, we get so hot that 1t seems that if we were to get out of our car we would feel better. So some of us go out of the car, but as we get out there. our heads go to swimming and we feel as if we would fall over. So We go back and get in the car. Go- ing across the Desert 1t does not cost anything to ride in the pullman. They are the only cars that they pull across the desert because the berths are above and they keep few of the suns rays from within the ear.
 We look out of the window and see little knolls which look very much like frog houses. It is sand where the wind has blown the sand up in piles. Some of them are very large and some are very small.
 "We can see nothing but sand. h some places it looks just like a smooth floor.
 "We visit the Grand Gorge. There is a large bridge across it. The rocks are 2.687 it. high. It is very beau tiful place. It has beautiful scenery all around it.

ROAD OVER MESA WILL PROB
ABLY BE BUILT IN NEAR FUTURE

The county commissioners have re-
turned from their trip to the Alexan-
der lake section where they went to
confer with the government forest
ranger about the proposed completion
of the road link from Mesa county via
the lakes of Delta county. The county
dads are all for it and can see greatest
possibilities in the new road being
built.
They say they are all for it and
that they hope to have the Mesa coun-
ty end work started next summer as
soon as the snow leaves. The road
cannot be built this season. They
found the road traverses a wonderful
country as it is and that it can be
made fit for autos without tremend-
GUS expenditure.
1t is confidently expected by lovers
of good roads that the road from Coll
bran to Delta, fit for an auto to make
the trip from this city to Delta in six
hours will be in shape by July of

10000 LITTLE TROUT ARE PUT
IN HANNAH CREEK FOR SPORTS
Hey, Fishermen!

Hey, Fishermen!
Thirty thousand little trout were put
in Hannah creek Saturday by the
Chamber of Commerce says the Grand
Junction News. The fish came from
the government hatchery and are the
mountain brook type, the native Colo
RADIO species and able to do well in
that stream. This will be good news.
The stream is one of the most fished
streams in Colorado and needs about
1000 to 10000 a year. The present
shipment may be augmented by more
next spring.
Some fair sized trout have been
caught in the creek this year. Some
of the brook specimens have been
landed weighing between one and two
pounds.

John Holland returned last week
from Paonia where he has been for
two weeks attempting to gain posses
sion of a horse which strayed from
his range several months ago. Mr..
Holland found that the animal had
been taken up as an estray by the
town of Paonia and later sold to a
man named Edwards. Although he
is willing to comply with the legal re-
quirements Edwards and the town au-
thorities have refused to give up the
animal and Mr.. Holland has arranged
to begin suit. Millard Fairlamb of
Delta will represent him in the case.

The Wars Progress.

OF the war news this week the most
interesting part has been the naval
battles, in which Germany is reported
to have lost 13 battleships and trans
ports, and one is credited to Russia's
loss.
Yesterdays dispatches gave the Ger
man advance on Gallipoli peninsula as
steady. France criticizes England for
not supplying more men, citing that
she is only holding thirty miles of the
$50 miles of battle front. England
acknowledges business of criticism
and promises to send more men.
Germany asks time to explain the
sinking of the Arabic. English vessel

will be fair.
Bulgars are expected TO aid allies,
accepting proposals made for division
of spoils.

ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATION

The anniversary of the founding of
Odd Fellowship falls on April Goth.
This year recorded the 96th anniver-
sary of the order. Wherever a lodge
of Odd Fellows exists it is customary
to observe this important date in some
manner. Lodges are given a latitude
as to the date of holding commemora-
tive ceremonies, and they may be held
a day or two before or a day or two
after the 26th. The local lodge of
Odd Fellows, in conjunction with the
Rebekahs, observed the anniversary
Saturday evening, April "a. The lodge
held a brief session, after which the
two lodges met together socially. A
delicious luncheon was served by the
ladies, and the evening was passed
with cards and dancing. Some so
members of the order participated,
and those so fortunate as to be pres
ent pronounced the evening entertain
ment as one of the most enjoyable
within their memory. H. D. Merritt.
of Spokane, made an address under
the good of the order, while that body
was in session, and spoke again dur
ing the evening upon Odd Fellowship.

MAKING THE TOUCH EASY

County Assessor c. II. Knoshcr was
prying into the possessions of bust
ness men OF this place Friday last
listing property for taxation. If there
is any time in the year when gaunt
poverty stares man in the face it is
just about the time the assessor ap-
pears upon the scene. 1t is more a
virtue than a fault in the eyes OF the
bulk of humanity to note a fierce
shrinkage in the value of everything
one possesses when it becomes neces-
sary to get confidential with the as
SCISSOR. At that particular moment all
things of an assessable nature become
little better than junk. However, in
the hands of Mr. Knosher this process
OF assessment in a large measure
ceases to be painful ordeal In the
first place Mr. Knosher IS a gentle
man, and in the second place he per-
forms his duty with kindness, con-
sideration and courtesy. Indeed, one
feels a desire to overestimate rather
than to underestimate in treating the
subject OF values with Mr.. knosher.
While he is acting fair and just with
the individual who is willing on his
part to be fair and just, Mr.. Knosher
is not going to be imposed on. He is
performing his duty strictly in con-
formity with the law and the county
is not losing anything through the ad-
of his Office.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING

Next Thursday evening. May 6, is
the date for the next regular monthly
meeting of the Commercial Club AS
there has been nothing of special
nature going on recently to demand
action on the part of the club no meet
ing has been held since the last reg
ular session. Long intervals between
meetings have tendency to weaken
interest in an organization Of this
kind, but it is sincerely to be hoped
that this local institution, started un-
der such favorable auspices, and hav-
ing accomplished so much during the
short time of its existence, is not 60
ing to halt at we'll doing. The entire
membership is urged to remember the
date of the next meeting, Thursday,
May 6, and let nothing interfere with
full attendance. In order to keep
alive interest in the upbuilding and
progress of the town ii is necessary
to meet together and consider such
activities as may tend to benefit the
community as a whole. Every resi-
dent of the town should be an active
member of the Commercial Club, and
every resident of the town is cordially
invited to be present at the meeting
next Thursday evening. And don't
you forget it,
