There are some threatening places
along the banks of the Gunnison which
need attention. and it is doubtful if
even now they can be sufficiently
strengthened to prevent changes in the
rivers channel. One of these, and the
most dangerous. is on this side of
the river about one-half mile above the
bridge crossing to North Delta. AT
this point the river has cut a wide
bend. having nothing but the alluvial
soil TO work upon, and the torrent
comes heading down in a straight line
for that bend. backed by the weight of
nearly a mile of straight river. With
a little more raise, it promises to be
going across there, sweeping down in
a new channel-or rather what was
once its old channel-along the slough
where now runs the North Fork track
of the d. & R G.. and down to the
river again toward and along the I'm
compahgre Delta Down in the vicin-
ity of Whitewater are said to be other
like changes in the rivers course
threatened, and considerable appre-
hension is felt as to results.

1t is not so very long ago when auto
mobiles were regarded with general
hostility by farmers. Now almost as
great proportion of farmers own
and drive autos as any other class.
More than this. the European war has
developed so much new power and
utility in auto machinery. that 1t is
already foreseen that much of the flu
ture farming in France is likely to be
done with auto cars. trucks and other
machines. With the coming of motor
cars began an era of good roads, a
period which will last through all
future time. In this the government
will spend hundreds of millions of
dollars, the state many additional mil
lions. while the county and the people
locally will do their share. In u few
years we will have universal roads
rs good as We now have streets in
our larger towns and cities. and when
this Is accomplished. every farmers
acre OF land will be doubled In value.
