Miss Ethel DeVeauX, formerly of
Palisade, a niece of Mrs. Thomas Fred
ericks was in Pueblo where the great
flood was which nearly ruined that
city last week Miss DeVeauX is stay
ing with her sisters family there, but
was not hurt in the flood. She is ap-
preciably remembered in Palisade by
her great beauty and fascinating man.

About everybody who could get
away went somewhere over the Dec
Grafton Day holiday. And yet those
who went say they never saw such a
lack of traffic on holiday.
Work on the great highway from
Palisade avenue, Palisade, to Fort Lee
via PaliSade avenue and the Palisade
Fairgrounds, is progressing so fast one
can almost see it move. 1t looks like
there ought soon to be some top dress
ing on the southern end of it.
Attention of Engineer Ross McClave
has been drawn to the turn at Bluff
road and Palisades avenue. Being on
sharp grade at that point, the impact
of turning automobiles there is des-
perately hard on the road surface SO
far nothing has been found to with
stand that impact. Engineer McClave
seems to feel that the new asphalt
surface will hold, but it will be mira
Gle if it should. 1t would be far bet
ter, in the opinion of many, to turn
that grade corner with either cement
or Belgian blocks. Otherwise it will
remain a constant source of trouble
annoyance and expense.
Last Sunday was one of those Won
der days that excite the admiration
of all. The temperature was cool and
delightful, the sun shone bright all day
and there was just the kind of sparkle
in the air to make one full of pep.

spirit ever actuated men in war than
on the side of the English and Canadi-
ans and Americans in this war-and
the French, too, came in for a goodly
bit of his praise. Taken all in all, Mr..
Mackenzie gave lucid, very human
tale of his own experience and told
much of value and Worthwhile impor-
