Federal Good Roads to Increase Mar
ket Value of Colorado Crops.
Denver.-A federal road building
plan which will result in increasing
the marketable value Of Colorados an
nual crop harvests many millions OF
dollars was announced in Denver by
H. 8. Graves, chief forester of the
United States, who has just conclud-
ed a tour of inspection in southern
Colorado. The government has decid-
ed, Mr.. Graves declared, to take trans
portation facilities to many Of Colo
radios fertile plains and valleys. and
many districts where irrigation is pos
sible but not now employed, which
now are inaccessible to crop markets.
Roads are to be built throughout the
southern part of the state. connecting
railroad lines and the farming lands,
now so separated that the movement
of crops ia either impossible or un-
profitable.
Scenic spots. including the Wheeler
national monument, one of the most
picturesque places in the world, also
will be opened to tourist visitors, who
now can reach them only by the most
uncomfortable cross-country travelling.
In one section of the state alone
$4,000 acres Of land whose dormant
richness awaits only the magic touch
of irrigation will be put in touch with
broad-gauge railroad by federal
road. This is the Paradox valley, now
too inaccessible for the profitable de-
velopment of It's resources, but holding
the promise of becoming one of the
most productive regions of the state.
The Mesa Verde region will be
opened up to traffic with a govern.
ment highway stretching to the rail.
road tracks. The path to be thus
made will become a greatly travelled
one, according to the belief of Mr..
Graves. who declares the Mesa Verde
to be one of the most attractive spots
In the world, and one which every
travelled American will want to see
before acknowledging that he has
seen America" either first or last.
The fertile Rio Grande country will
be opened up as the governments road
building plan expands. Silverton and
Durango are to be connected, giving
crops in their vicinities a twenty-four.

Roofing

takes its place in the sun" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it is made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof.
The blend of asphalts used by The General"
is the result of long experience. 1t produces
a roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
At each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also to expert
ment for possible Improvements Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better.
The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
it is guaranteed for S, 10 or IS years, according
to thickness Il, 2 or 3ply). Experience proves
that it lasts longer. Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roo6ngs and building papers.

London, Feb. Tissues as grave as
the Lusitania case may arise between
the United States and the central pow
ers, officials declared today, as re-
suit of the Teutonic announcement of
intent to attack armed merchantmen.
The entente allies do not yield the
right to arm such vessels for defensive
purposes, practice universally recog-
nized. Moreover, they do not believe
that, America having recognized this
right, win change her policy in the
midst of the war, though she has sug-
gested disarmament of such ships.
Authorities here believe that the
United States would take prompt and
decisive action in the event that an
Austrian or German submarine tor.
pedoed an armed allied liner carrying
American passengers.
Under headlines like IA New Plea
For Piracy" the newspapers today
declared that the Germans, after seem
ing to yield in the Lusitania case, are
embarking on a new campaign of
" frightfulness" in disregard of law
and humanity They expressed the
view that the Teutonic announcements
reopens the German-American dispute.
