We have been boned for SO much
free space from different concerns
to advertise their goods without
them paying so much as IA five
cent piece towards the support OF
the paper, that we have almost
grown to hate to look through our
mail when we were confident we
did not know where some letters
were from. The worst shock we
ever got was when we began to
get mail from the president of the
Yellowstone Trail about the test
run to be made across the state in
a Studebaker car We have no
grievience against the Studebaker
car and would be mighty proud to
own one of them, but we hate to
have our conf lence abused. We
have always given up lot of
space to boost the Trail and on the
receipt of the mail in question it
was promptly thrown in the waste
paper basket there was more than
the cheap request for free adver-
tising that went into the waste
basket-and said nothing beyond
mentioning to IA couple OF local
Trail boosters that the run would
be O false note and should not be
encouraged; we never intended to
make any mention, beyond little
local or two, so as not to appear a
knocker unless some other paper
along the Trail registered an OBJ
lection, and if they did we would
step right up to bat with them.
The following quotation from the
Lennon Herald is our sentiment
exactlv. 1--WE ask Mr.. Parmley
for the good of the Trail, not to
lend himself, as the President of
the Association and this great
highway, to anyone for advertis-
ing purposes" If we were as old

The board Of county commissioners
announce a gratifying progress in
the construction of the Parkdale-C Coto.
pan link of the Rainbow route. on
which convict labor has been employ
ed for the last eighteen months or
two years. At present one hundred
and ten men are engaged in the un-
dertaking; seventy Of them prison
ers under the supervision of Capt. G.
H. Baldwin, and forty free laborecs
under the direction of Floyd Coleman.
Capt. Baldwin's camp is located at
Five Points. two miles and a half or
three miles west Of Spikebuck, and
Mr.. Coleman's a mile or SO east of
Texas Creek. The distance between
the two camps is about four miles
and a half and the two forces are
working towards each other with the
purpose OF effecting a junction. 1t Is
impossible to state at this time Just
when the task will be completed as
there is considerable heavy work yet
to be done before the job is finish
ed. but it is believed that it VIII be
ready for use early in July of this
year.
The Parkdale-Coto cut-off Will
be one Of the most picturesque and a.
tractiye public highways In the Rocky
Mountain region and win AFFORD a
driveway Of unexcelled beauty for
motorists and excursionists to Colo

formally dedicated to public travel
next summer that hundreds Of auto

will be present to take part in the
ceremonies.
