DELTA BOYS RETURN AFTER
BUILDING PARK IMPROVEMENTS

Roy and Pearl Walker have return
ed from Denver and other points on
the eastern slope. The boys built two
rustic fireplaces in the Denver Noun
tain park. in Bear Creek canon near
Evergreen.
According to the boys the park peo.
pie over there have their ear to the
ground, and every convenience imag-
Unable is provided for the tourist
Roads are carefully inspected every
few days, and in general the tourist
has everything his way. But when
1t comes TO fishing in some of those
streams Pearl says they have simply
been fished to death and he doubts
very much whether there is fish
left in any of them.
A hotel is being erecsed over there,
according to the boys. where the only
class of people that can afford to
stop will be those with good sized
pocketbook. for their rate is the same
to all-$1S per. A highway from Col
den over Lookout mountain is being
built to the town Of Evergreen. This
while scenic in way cannot compare
to the many spots of the kind in this
section.
The boys while they have travelled
considerable, never lose track of the
fact that Delta county and the West
ern Slope can put up about as good
things as there is to be found in Colo
RADIO. They believe we should take
up the matter of providing fireplaces
on the Grand Mesa similar to those
in the Denver Park.
