Business Men Labor on the
New Delta-Nucla Auto Road

A party Of eighteen went out on the
Nucla road Sunday and spent Labor
day in grubbing scrub oak brush from
about mile and a half of right of way
on the national forest at point where
the forest service is going to fence
and the road had to be changed or be
bothered with gates.
1t is said that this change will short
en- the route trifle and cut down the
grade. The soil there is gravelly and
will make an ideal road bed when
completed. 1t is understood that the
forest service will assist with the
work on this piece of road. 1t is to
be hoped that this is a fact, as this
will hasten the work, as well as as
sure a good job.
Geo. C. Wilson, Geo. w. Bruce and
J. e. Hillman were the furthest out
on the project. going to the end Of

ing four miles to the camp at the fin
ished portion OF the Nucla end. They
state that the road is in good condi.
tion and. while it seems a big job to
finish that portion between the Delta
and Nucla camp. Superintendent
Lockwood states that he will have it
finished before the month is out-and
from things already accomplished,
there is no use TO say he can't

odist church next Tuesday evening for
the local body OF Red Cross The event
as scheduled will be concert and
aside from local talent there will be
others that will partake and the affair

crowded condition Of the paper this

Delta-Grand Jet.
Road PaSSable

The board of county commissioners
have been in session all week. but
have done little except routine busi-
ness.
They inform US, however, that the
link Of the Delta-Grana Junction road
over Grand mesa is now SO that an
automobile can pass as far as the
Delta county line and that the high
way will be completed that far within
ten days.
It is now up to the Grand Junction
and Mesa county people to get busy
and finish their end OF the road.
There was four miles on that end In
July. unfinished. and at that time they
were going to get a gang OF men and
teams out right away and get the road
in good shape from Colbran to the Del
Ia county line. Just what has been
accomplished by them since that time
is not known. but the Delta part Of the
project is nearly completed. (Grand
Junction papers please copy).
When finished this will be one of
the most scenic drives In the state and
will have more miles OF spruce timber
than any other road the same length
in Colorado.
The two bridges across the Butter
milk, on the Nucla road. the commits

City Should Have
A Fine Creamery

Carrying Goals to Newcastle is no
more ridiculous than importing butter
into as rich and otherwise progressive
an agricultural district as Delta coun-
ty. but that is what is being done
right along.
Creamery butter is being shipped
in from as far distant points as Den
yer and Salt Lake City 1t would
seem to one not informed, that the
merchants were not patronizing home
industry, seeing all this butter com.
ing from the outside, but investiga-
tion shows that they just can't get
it at home.
Now, can some enterprising man
who knows the creamery game, find
a better opening than right here for
a modern plant? The local nero. ants
will certainly patronize it in prefer
ence to going away for their butter.
There are plenty Of ideal locations
for a creamery, and cows do as well
here as any place on earth. so there
lis nothing to hinder; the world fs
before him.
We have a good ice plant, make
our own bricks for building. have a
cheese factory. packing plants, etc,
and there is no reason in the world
why we should not have a creamery.

The Delta people are beginning to
realize the vast amount of benefits
fhie city will receive as a result of
having this road through The Nucla
people have wanted It for long time
and have said that they would build it
&hether they received any assistance
|arom the outside or not, and now that
II is about ready for traffic, Delta will
get practically all the business from
that prosperous section. which has
been going elsewhere. 1t has been
said. and we agree, that the road will
be Of more benefit to Delta than the
long hoped for sugar factory. There
is no doubt but that its opening will
mark an epoch in the business history
of our city.
The Nucla road committee is still
open to receive subscriptions The
funds from both ends are about used
lup and there still remains some ex-
pensive work to be DONE 1t is said
that the contractor will lose money.
but he is the kind of q sport that will
take his medicine and never whimper
He is going 10 build the road. How.
ever, the people who are going to
derive the benefits should do all they
can in financial way to see that his
losses are not allowed to run too high
II is worthy cause and every man il
town should help what he can.
AS stated above, the road will be
fready for use before this month is

the work which the committee propoe

TRUST COMPANY TAKES
HUNDRED THOUSAND
Makes Two Hundred Thousand Dol
lars Worth of Liberty Bonds That
The Institution Has Taken For
Cambridge And -Four County
Branches.

At the regular meeting of the di-
rectors of the Eastern Shore Trust
Company last night, the board de
cided to subscribe for 100000 o.
the Second issue of Liberty Bonds,
this bringing the subscriptions OF
the Company up to 100000, the
board having subscribed for $780,
600 of the First Loan.
Dorchester county's minimum al
lotment is $5S5, 1000, the maximum
allotment is 1915, 700, and while
both of these figures seem somewhat
high, to the average person, and, ap-
parently, are cOmputated upon the
basis of charging the entire deposits
of the Eastern Shore Trust Company
up against this county, Wh9i cas-
these deposits are scattered through
a number of the counties of the
State, only four of its twelve bran
ches being located ia this county,
namely, those at Hurlock, East New
Market Vienna, and South DOrches-
ter; no one wants to see the county
fall down. consequently it behooves
everyone to get busy.
William Jennings Bryan, the most
love man in the United States, and
who, next to President Wilson, dl0
more to keep the country out of war
than any other man, says that the
best way to shorten the war is to sub
scribe literally to this Second Lib
erty Loan. This fact must become
more and more apparent to everyone,
FOR if there is any holding back upon
the part of the American people, the
war will only be prolonged, and more
and more OF the young men, and pos
sibly some not SO young, will be call
ed to the colors.
The fight is on, and every true
American citizen should do his or
ner part; no one should hold back
20 wait upon others. If the public
holds back, and boards its cash, in
stead of lending it to the govern
ment, then it can only expect the war
% be prolonged and to be much
more expensive than it otherwise
will be.
The announcement of the Trust
Company of its subscription of 500,
900 will be found on the first page
Of this issue. 1t is we'll worth read
ing, as it points out the duty and
shows the way in which every citi.
zen of Dorchester county can do his
Or her part toward the county's quo
ia of the Liberty Loan.

The demand for the old tried and

year. Theater goers evidently are tired
of specializing with so-called recent

in patronlzing the standard presenta-

Prompted by this demand the Western

playing rights west of the Mississippi
to numerous plays, decided to make a
grand revival Of Denman Thompson's
American rural classic. 1.-THE Old

Keeping Expenses Down.

The income is usually reward of in

follow. The same Is true with indi-

to grow faster than their surplus in
come. Better clothes, dainties, in
creased social expense soon eat up
the income and the necessities have
