DELTA FLOUR MILLS CO.
HAS MANY IMPROVEMENTS

The Delta Flour Mills company is
making many improvements at their
place of business.
The mill has been thoroughly over
hauled for the fall campaign, and
will start a continuous service in
about two weeks. They have ex-
tended their flour storage warehouse
and now have storage for many cars
of their famous brands of flour
The alfalfa meal mill and ware
house which was installed a short
time ago is ready for business on
large scale this year An improve
ment has been added that will permit
the manufacture of high grade of
meal mixed with syrup ready for
feeding. This is considered to be
much superior to the straight alfalfa
meal.
The company, according to Mr..
Obert, will go into feeding sheep on
quite an extensive scale this season.
Sheds and pens are now being built
that will accommodate several head
OF sheep. Mr.. Crabill is in Utah at
this time, purchasing several cars Of
sheep. They will continue the feed
ing of hogs as in the past.
Thus. DeIta's industries continue to

For fifteen years we have heard Of
the glory and gradueur Of Grand mesa,

We have the opportunity to SEQ with
the physical eye this particular por-
ton of Natures wonderland.
1t was through the courtesy OF c..
ID. Allen and his son and wife that We
had this delicious experience, and it
was one which we shall never forget.
Grand mesa is all and more tran We
ever hoped It could be-a riot CT col
or and beauty. Scores of lakes, sur
rounded by stately spruce and pine
trees, rowing. fishing and picnicking,
gay outing parties-these are only a
few of the delights OF Grand mesa.
The road is good. and miles of the
most beautiful drives through magnifi-
cent forests of quaken asps mingled
with q profusion OF columbine, wild
roses and other vivid colored flowers.
Truly this place. far from the haunts
of men, with never a suggestion of
machinery. with the silence broken
only by the mur1nur OF falling water

Of "cussing." Some felt that Main
