on hand Mortimer Stone, who gave a
talk on Walking Distance" He en-
tered into several walking avenues

his address proved both instructive
and entertaining.
| President Mathers reported that the
graveling committee had just about
put across the graveling and grading
program for the streets and cross
streets within the City of Delta. with
the exception of Main street He
urged the securing of few more
names in order to put it well over the
top.
Robert b. Tilden brought up the
question of securing funds for Grand
Mesa from the forest service, and
from any other available government
source. He emphatically stated that
Grand Mesa is more than Delta
proposition, and that the Nelta Lions
could well afford to devote some time
and energy in that direction. He said
he was convinced that funds are avail
able to build roads on top of the mesa
so as to make real summer resort,
and he suggested that ths matter be
taken up with the Grand Junction
and Glenwood Springs Lions and thai
their cooperation be solicited as we'll
as that of Montrose. Mr.. Tilden and
DR.. Miller were appointed n committee
to communicate with the supervisor of
Battlement forest. of which Grand
Mesa is part, and invite him to one
of the meetings in the near future.

the Near East relief proposition at
this time.
Guests were F. E. Willis of Peach
Valley. and his son. Raymond. OF Rock
Springs. Wyo., as we'll as Mortimer

GOVERNMENT OPENS LARGEST
YELLOW PINE LUMBER TRACT

+ Washington.-The largest compact
body of yellow pine timber owned by
the government is to be opened for
sale and development. according to an
announcement by the forestry serv-
ice. U. S. department of agriculture.
This is in line with the federal pol
icy of putting the forests of our coun.
Itry to their highest use. instead OF
locking up valuable timber resources
so that they are Of no benefit to the
American people. This new timber
region is on the watershed of the Sell
tvies river in the Malheur National
forest of eastern Oregon. 1t covers
an area of $4,000 acres and contains
1000, 100000 feet of mature saw tim,
her. The government forestry serv'
ice has worked out plan for this
standing timber that provides con-
tinuous and perpetual supply of raw
material for lumber manufacture. to
be located in the vicinity of Burns

600 feet of logs annually.

DELTA STREETS WILL SOON
BE GRAVELED FROM END TO END

The proposition which had its incep-
tion two weeks ago at the Delta Lions
club, which was to grade and gravel
the streets and cross streets of the
city of Delta. with the exception of
Main street, is almost assured. How
ever. before this can become an or
dinance and work started in the proper
manner few more signatures will be
required.
The fact that graded and graveled
streets over the entire city on the side
streets and cross streets are within the
realm of possibility and even
probability should prompt every prop
erty owner to attach his signature to
petition authorizing such an i'm,
provement The graveled streets will
greatly enhance the value of property
contiguous to same. as we'll as cut
down dust and other inconveniences.
1t will also make riding more COM
Portable for those who drive.
Furthermore, if this is accomplish
led. 1t will give employment to large
numbers of men and teams for sew
eraa mouths, and much of this work
can be done during the fall and early
winter months.

NO MORE PosTMAN
CALLS WHERE THERE ARE
NO MAIL REcEPTAcLES

washington-The postoffice depart
ment has issued an order that at the
end of four months no mail is to
be delivered at dwelling houses not
having a slot or approved receptacle
for mail at the front door. The post
office department states that 70 per
cent of the people show their appre-
citation of the daily postman by hav-
ling either letter slot or receptacle
for mail. but the other 80 per cent
are apparently Indifferent. The time
it takes the postman to stop. ring
door bells and wait for dweliers to re-
spond to get their mail not only adds
to the burden of each mail carrier but
delays the delivery of all other mail.
For that reason the order has been
! issued that at the end of four months
all dwellings, not equipped with prop
err mail receptacles will not be fur
'nished with mail delivered by post
men.
