to relieve that appetite and desire.
We have the proof almost every day
in the year that men will take the
longest possible chances to obtain the

For years one of the most disgrace

has long been nuisance to travel,
and especially that portion of the road
between the point of rocks on OsOyoOs
lake. near the old Kelsey place, and
the boundary line. At times this short
drive has been almost impossible, and
owing to the heavy grade at the north
end OF the Kelsey ranch was a hard
piece OF road to travel under the most
favorable conditions. A piece of money
has been secured to construct a new

needed Improvement Monday morning.
The course of the road has been
changed, thus escaping the grades
that have heretofore been a difficulty
for autoists to negotiate. The new
survey is almost in a straight line
from the point of rocks north to the

propose to make this short piece OF

service and devotion to mankind"
