Mayor Jennings started discussion
of the good roads program when NJ
brought up the matter at the mass
meeting last week. The sentiment IS
somewhat divided, but there appears
TO be a growing feeling that there is
nothing to be gained by waiting in
definitely to make a beginning on the
building OF good roads. It may not
be wise to sell million Jollars OF
the bonds at the current price, for
interest rates may be lower next year
or the year after, but good many
citizens agree With Mr. Jennings that
it would not be q ruinous policy to
sell quarter Or a half million OF the
bonds and use the money to start
work.
There is not much difference be-
tween ga per cent interest and 3
per cent interest. as Mr.. Belser stat
ed to the mass meeting, and if the
road commission could see its way
clear to sell million dollars worth
of bonds at 3 ga per cent, why not
strain point and sell quarter, or
at most, a half million worth at 6
per cent, so as 10 begin road building
now? a quarter OF a m!l'ion dollars
would be ABOUT all that could be used
this year, at any rate, no matter how
many bonds are sold.

To Control Chicken Lice.
Sodium FIuorid Most Satisfactory.

Clemson College, May.-Poultry lice
do not suck blood. They feed on por'
t,ons of the feathers or on the scales
of the skin. The greatest loss from
lice is possibly that of young chickens
which may become infested from the
mother hen, even before they become
dry after leaving the egg she'll
Though there are several kinds o.
poulxy lice, they can all be controlled
by the same method.
Control.
Sodium fluorid appears to be the
most satisfactory chemical to use fol-
the control of all kinds Of poultry lice
The treatment must be thorough, and
every fowl in the poultry yard must
be treated, because if one infested
chicken escapes, it may then be bus
a sort time until the entire fock Is
again infested. The commercial form
of sodium fuorid may be obtained at
most drug stores. Small amounts OF
"pinches" of this chemical should be
placed on different parts of the body
of the chicken sas follows: Place the
fowl on tablesn an open vessel, hold
the legs and wsngs in one hand. and
with the other hand place a snail
pinch of the chemical next to the skin
among the feathers on the head, neck
each thigh, underside Of spread wings
and distribute by pushing the fingers
among the feathers One pound will
treat about 100 hens. For young chicks
the head. back and body are the only
parts that are necessary to treat.
Precautions.
Wash the hands thoroughly after
using chemical 1t will not injure the
hands, but it is frequently irritable to
sores. It should Of course never be
taken internally.

Chattanooga, Tenn, to attend the

The Delta independent., 1921-09-23
(By ADAH PRICE)

The beginnings of our known his
tory as a state date back to the first
half of the sixteenth century, when
Spanish explorers first crossed part
of the present State of Colorado.
Later French explorers ventured into
the wilds, and part of Colorado was
for a long time a possession of
France, but Western Colorado. of
which Delta county is part, be-
longed to Spain until New Spain, as
Mexico was then called, rebelled in
the early part of the nineteenth CEN
tury and Mexico became the owner
of this territory.
When the Republic of Texas came
in existence about fifteen years
later, after a brief war with Mexico,
she claimed New Mexico and about
two-thirds of Colorado. This terri
tory Texas held when admitted to the
Union in 1S45. The war with Mexico,
1s464S, made Colorado part of the
United States, but this was formally
bought from Texas with other west
ern territory in 1850.
While the colonies on the Atlantic
were making the struggle for liberty,
it is delightful to remember that those
picturesque and intrepid adventurers,
the Spaniards, were traversing our
country and that their daring is per-
petuated in some of our geographic
names.
The first white man that is known
to have reached the Gunnison Valley
came by way of the Uncompahgre
Valley. He had gone to the San Juan
region in search of gold. This was in
1851.
In 1878 Father Junipero Sierra
sought to establish a road from Sante
Fe to his missions in California. In
pursuance of this plan, in 1776, Father
Francisco Escalante traversed this
valley. reaching the Gunnison, by
means of the Uncompahgre Valley.
AT this time the Indians called the
Gunnison the Tomiche, but Escalante
named it the San Javier. A creek
and canyon in the western part of the
county bear his name.
No settlements were made by these
early explorers. There are no fur
ther records of their travels. The next
record states that in the 20's Antoine
Roubideaux traversed this part OF
Colorado and in the 30's built trad
ing post on the Gunnison river near
the mouth Of Roubideaux creek. He
lived here several years, but became
unpopular with the Indians and they
burned his buildings and stockade.
However, in the early sos there were
yet remaining some Of the stones OF
his old hut and stockade. Early set
