ION another page of this paper
Herbert B. Gee of the Craig Empire,
presents In his gifted style some i'm
pressions Of the town of Meeker,
gained during the recent visits there
Of the editorial party which visited
the White river town on its way to
and from Glenwood Springs. To all
of the complimentary things said by
the Empire editor the Pilot gives
enthusiastic assent.
Steamboat Springs has entered
upon a new policy which Is proving
of great benefit in many ways: In
spired by the commercial club there
have been recently several ''socia-
bility tours" to surrounding towns.
Vernal and intervening towns, and
Walden in North park, have been
visited this season. The Pilot is going
to propose that the next sociability
visit be made to Meeker.
''In all Of these visits many new
and valuable ideas are gained, in adj
dition to a better business and social
understanding. There are many
ideas that might be gained by . visit
of Steamboat Springs business men
to the Rio Blanco metropolis. There
are live, enterprising, pushing men
in Meeker that are building won

far removed from railroad transpor-
ton, but have created business
blocks that would be . credit to the
leading towns Of the state. Passing
over many other evidences of enter

of Meeker Is the hospitality Of its
