BEAR SHOULD BE PROTECTED
GAME REFUGE ESTABLISHED

At the regular meeting Of the Delta
Fish and Game Protective Association
held Tuesday evening. many matters
Of Importance were considered. The
question OF protecting bear some be-
lieve to be one Of the foremost ques-
tions before the association. 1t is
claimed that very little damage, II any
is done by the old or young bear.
The killing Of bear in the summer
time should be prevented. It was
said the hide OF bear killed now is
absolutely worthless. Opinion was
expressed that bear should not be con-
sidered predatory animal. Otto
Peterson. deputy game warden, was
present and concurred with the view
OF many members present
Warden Peterson said there was in
the neighborhood OF 500 to 1000 head
OF elk in the Muddy and Anthracite
sections. He considered the matter
OF establishing of game refuge in
the Ragged Mountain section neces-
sary for the protection OF the elk.
This matter is now before the officials
ut Washington.
The association considered favor
ably the matter of building a retain
ing pond at Ward Lake on Grand
Mesa. The directors will make an
inspection and report as to the feasi-
bility OF the establishment Of same
just as soon as they can get on to
Grand Mesa. Mr.. Peterson said the
report which had been circulated re,
garding the shortage OF water in
Grand Mesa Lakes is absolutely with
out foundation. He says the lakes
are fast filling and there is still near
ly three feet OF snow and in his opin-
ion there will not be any shortage Of
water whatever.
Assistant Secretary Smart was in.
structed to communicate with the
Field and Stream OF New York with
the object In view of securing a 3O.-
900 foot picture OF wild life. The pic
ture is said to be one Of the most in
structive films ever produced for both
young and old. The forest depart
ment has cooperated in the getting
together OF this wonderful Aim which
Is nearly six miles in length.

ROGERS MESA PEOPLE
PROVE ROYAL ENTERTAINER

The hospitality of the ranchers on

but these people certainly did them
selves proud on Monday evening when

members and their ladies on the spa
cious lawn OF Mr.. and Mrs. James

extended to the club several weeks
ago so that II was pretty generally
known and the Lions turned out al.
most one hundred percent; sixty 60
ing up from Delta. At the top OF the
Rogers grade they were met by a
delegation OF Rogers Mesa gentlemen
who escorted them on an eight mile
drive In this beautiful part Of Delta
county. The trees were just coming
In bloom and II was most gratifying to
see these prosperous homes with their
bright flowers and beautiful lawns.
Arriving at the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Armand they found long tables
to accommodate every one and here
they were served with a delightful
dinner. which was more than vel
come after their long ride.
The long seats were arranged in
front OF the house and the piano was
brought out on the porch and by the
light OF many lanterns and gas lamps
plenty OF light was furnished. The
Lions Club then took charge OF the
program. opening with several of the
Lions Club songs. This was followed
by song by the male quartet.

Rogers people. the full appreciation
OF the program and Of the visit OF
these Delta people and announced
that refreshments of ice cream and
cake and coffee or lemonade would be
served at the close Of the program
and despite the splendid dinner furn.
ished at the early part OF the evening
some Of those roaring Lions had the
nerve to 20 back and eat again.
Many Of the residents from over
the Mesa for several miles came ia
hear the program and Il IL estimated
that there was more than five hun
dred persons In the gathering. It was
an event which will long be treasur

MOTORDOM PAST
EMBRYO STAGE.
Automobile Is No Longer a
Summer Toy"

A few years ago the automobile
was looked upon as six months
proposition. AZ tho first signs OF
cold weather. the owner would run
his car into the garage. jack up the
wheels. remove the tires. take out
the battery. drain tho water and gas
oline tanks. carefully cover Il. and
there II would remain until spring.
Today the motor car IN practically
every instance h used all the year
round. with the possible exception Of
the extreme northern parts OF the
country. according TO n nationally
known manufacturer.
This has had tendency to sta.
hiiise the entire industry. Up until
a short timc ago. practically all buy.
Ing Of motor cars was done three or
four months year" he explained.
There was a mad rush for cars In
the spring. with the result that fac.
tories could not supply tho demand.
They would speed up production. ana
then the demand would fall off "a
quickly as IL came. This made u a
difficult matter for manufacturers

II also made manufacturing costs
very high. because there was great
deal Of waste caused by shesrush 10

To-day the weli.ertnhlished. organ.
lied automobile manufacturer, with
q strong dealers organization, runs
production at about tho same rate
the year round. OF course. there
stu remains the extraordinarily
heavy demand In the spring months.
but the majority OF owners buy cars
when they need them. regardless Of
the season.
This has been big factor In TO
ducirg costs The manufacturer
can lay out a schedule. buy the nee.
cwary material. eliminate labor
shortages--in fact. practice many
economies that would Be impossible
under the old method.
Another factor that has entered
into winter business Is the closed
car. Production Of this type OF car
has increased until II viii bs only a
matter % few years until the de.
mard for closed cars win equal. n
