Mr.. E. j. McGrew,
Lexington, Missouri
Dear Mr.. McGrew:

In advertising the Lafayette
County Fair, we realize that
promises may get friends but
it is performance that keeps
them and as we not only have
in view the success of the fair
this season but for many years
to come, we shall endeavor to
conduct the exhibition, that we
shall be able not only to get the
crowd out this year, but thru
the satisfaction of each visitor
will feel that we shall make him
a patron for all time to come.
Many advertisements are bet
ter than what they advertise,
but our fair viii be better than
any advertisement Of which we
send out. The fair will be held
in Higginsville, August 29, 80,
81, Sept. /.

Chronic Constipation.

There are people who never.
have a movement Of the bowels
without it is produced by a ca
tharic. Most Of them have
brought that condition on them
selves by the use Of mineral
waters and strong catharticS
that take too much water out Of
the system and aggravate the
disease they are meant to re-
lieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords a
gentle movement Of the bowels
that you hardly realize has been
produced by a medicine, and
their use is not so likely to be
followed BY constipation. Adv

BLACK MESA ROUTE
BEING CONSIDERED

Continued from Page One)
the winter season and piles 1t on the
road in drifts of from fifteen to twenty
feet deep, which retard the opening
Of the road in the spring, and is a
matter of considerable expense in
clearing the road every season.
The only possible chance to get q
road thru this country which could
be made passable at the time the
Cochetopa and the Poncha passes are
open, is q road froom Sapinero west
above the rim of the Black canon of
the Gunnison river and below the top
Of Black mesa. This slope is not par
ticularly rough, consisting principally
Of earth and small boulders which
have eroded from the higher country
and formed fairly fiat slopes across
which road could be readily con-
structed, and which for the greater
part Of its distance, would lie directly
toward the south, and would receive
the full benefit of the sun in melting
the snow in the. spring.
The first eight miles out Of Sapi-
nero, the line would follow the pres
sent road more or less, where It was
practical and all that would be nec-
essary would be to widen the present
road. From Curecanti creek, west,
an entirely new road would have to be
constructed for eighteen to twenty
miles to q connection with State Road
Is, about mile west of its present
crossing of Crystal creek. The cheap
est way to construct this road would
be by use Of steam shovel. While
the greater part Of the material would
be classified rs common, it consists 0f
many boulders, and is covered for the
greater part by a heavy growth of
scrub oak, which would make it hard
to handle with teams and scrapers.
The drainage Is not excessive,
there being only three small streams
to cross, any Of which could be spanned
by thirty-foot bridge. There is an
abundance Of red spruce on the mesa
and saw mill to cut it, and material
for bridges and drains could be secured
at q reasonable cost.
BY using steam shovel and a
small outfit Of teams, figure this
road could be built for $4,000 to
SITE, 900. This new construction
would entail the building of from
twenty-six to twenty-eight miles of
new road and would be from 500 to
1000 feet lower in elevation than the
present road. The rise and fall would
be slight and the grades easy.
