First HonOred BY Oakland

Probably the first street in the en-
tire United States to be named for
President Coolidge is to be found in
the Davis Addition of lots to Oak
land. The Bowman Land Company,
always active and alert put Oakland
on the map with first honors. No
doubt this little courtesy will go the
rounds of the press and be comment
ed upon in many of the newspapers
of the country-a bit of free adver-
Using for Oakland. 1t is interesting
to note, however, that only few of
the Bowman stockholders are Repub-
licans but they are very loyal United
States citizens.

will be open Sunday for the first time
this summer. However, the road is
not finished, and cars can only pass
Sunday. and until eight o'clock Mon
day mornings, until further construc-
ton is completed. No detour is pos
sible on this road. so to hurry up the
work the highway department refused
to allow its use at all until nearly
done.
This is the most expensive road in
the state and few miles Of solid rock
work are said to have cost around q
million dollars. It is Of considerable

since it makes the short route to Sill
verton, Durango, Mesa Verde park,
and the entire southwest, as well as
furnishing link in the circle trip in
TO southern Colorado, Montrose and
