about the prettiest spot he has seen IN
all his travels.

Congressman Taylor and his son,
Edward, arrived Saturday evening
from Denver in their new Overland car
which they had purchased from Keck s
garage, but which WAS delivered to
them in Denver. They were aeeompa-
MED by Charley Keck who during the
trip instructed Eddie in the manipula-
tion of the new machine. They had q
splendid trip across the range.

M. c. Norris, representing the Cad
lilac Motor Co. of Denver, drove in
the first of the week and has been
exhibiting one of the Cadillac eight
cylinder cars to our people the past
few days, and there are few of our
citizens who have not been asked to
take = ride in this fine buggy. 1t ce--
tainly is q go-er, and seems to have
every convenience one could desire.

The work Of the volunteer road gary
on the highways near Glenwood las.
Thursday has been the subject of much
favorable mention and those who took
part in the good work have been made
to feel that they were acting in tine
capacity of public benefactors when
they contributed little of their muscle
to the end that others might the more
easily get over the roads. Surely that
was half day well spent.

We are all looking forward with
great anxiety to the time when the
road gang leaves the Glenwood canon
and the work may be said to be I" fin
ished." Then We will have the great
est piece of scenic highway in the
state and an attraction which will
make Glenwood both famous and pros
porous. OF course it is q long, tedious
task, but we are in it to win and VIC
propose to stay with it to the end.

The new brick building just complet-
ed by the Dinkel Mercantile company
adjoining their main store building at
Carbondale is a credit to that enter
prising little town and proves that Mr.
Dinkel and his associates have un-
bounded faith in the future of that
community. One of the rooms is now
being occupied as the postoffice, D. w.
Shores, the new postmaster, having
moved into the new quarters last Mon
day evening. %

Judge Walter 8. Sullivan, for 81
years resident of Mesa county and
for 90 years county judge thereof, died
at his home in Grand Junction last
Monday morning from asthma from
which he had long been a sufferer. His
death was great shock to the com
munity as he was extremely popular
throughout the county. Business was
generally suspended yesterday at the
hour of the funeral which was held
from the Methodist church.
Redlands. California is a beautiful
city of 10000 inhabitants, and the
streets are all paved and yet there is
not a saloon in the place, nor has
there been any for many years. Here
is evidence of prosperity in dry town
that the vets will have some trouble
in explaining away How long do yon
think it would take the saloons of this
town to pave the streets of Glenwoods
They couldn't even pave the Glenwood
streets with good intentions, the paving
material which some one has said is
used in hell.

from Albert A. Reed of Boulder, who
