Several Radios
Installed Here

Few cities of the size of Delta can
boast as many individual radio ap-
paratuses as can Delta. X. l.. Stan
ford and Herman Schultz installed the
first one at the Stanford residence,
while Charles Fulghum. Joseph Far
mer, Lloyd Miller, John Arthur and
several others have since that time
rigged up outfits whereby messages
are caught from all over the United
States within the radius fitted to their
instruments. 1t appears that wireless
outfits will soon be as much a part of
the family as the phonograph. Her.
man Schultz has made the coils for
several of the instruments now in
practical use in the city.
1t is indeed pleasure to drop into
any of these local stations and spend
an evening enjoying the lectures and
music furnished by the best talent OF
the larger cities thousands of miles
away.
BY the radio one hears the finest
talent in the nation and within a very
short time a radio apparatus will be
as familiar part of the home life as
the phonograph or the cook stove.

Adopt Resolutions
Urging The Black
Mesa Highway

AS an evidence of the sentiment of
the majority of Delta business men re-
garding the Black Mesa road. the
Chamber of Commerce, the Delta
Lions Club and the Delta Rotary Club
individually sent to Hon. Robert F.
Rockwell, Lieutenant Governor, and
to Hon. A. j. Hotchkiss, Representa-
tive. the following resolution:
1--WE do hereby heartily endorse
the Black Mesa route being a sec
ton of the Rainbow route and
urge that every thing be done III
behalf of said route. We urge
that you use your influence and
energies to secure from the High
way Department all possible aid
in behalf of said route and espec-
tally secure, if possible. this year
location survey and at the earliest
possible date"
There is no question as to the feas-
ibility of this road and its advantages
over the Blue Mesa route. A great
portion of it is located on the sunny
side of the range, which would pro-
long the period during which it could
be used far beyond the other road
where SHOWS would prohibit travel
much earlier in the fall and later in
the summer.
The scenery is pronounced by those
who have travelled equal to any they
have seen and it is earnestly hoped
that this road will be put in first class
condition and officially made part
of the Rainbow route.
The Delta independent., 1923-02-23

The proposed new route OF the
Black Mesa road would lower the road
from 500 to 1000 feet in elevation and
would give it a direct southern ex-
posure nearly all the way around the
point of Black Mesa The proposed
new route is the only possible route
between the eastern and western
parts of the state that will open up
early enough and stay open late
enough to serve travel that goes over
the Cochetopa and Poncha passes.
The building of this new proposed
route around the point of Black Mesa
would be of great benefit to the entire
Western Slope Not only will it be
road for service, but it will be un-
surpassed for scenic beauty and noun
tain grandeur For a number of miles
this road will follow along the rim OF
Black Canon, through which flows the
restless Gunnison river. Many tour
lists who have travelled all over the
world say that the scenes of the Black
Canon and the Gunnison river from a
number of places on the proposed new
route of the Black Mesa road are un-
surpassed anywhere in the world.
Locating Engineer r. E. Cowden
submits the following concerning the
new route:
Reconnaissance for betterment of
state road No. 46 across Black Mesa
in Gunnison and Montrose counties,
Colorado.
"The present road across Black
Mesa from Sapinero to the North
Fork of the Gunnison river at Hotch-
kiss is very poorly located and poorly
built, and was originally intended to
serve the sawmills and the tie cutters
on top of the mesa, and in order to
Serve these industries they had to
climb to an altitude which makes this
road impossible in late fall and early
spring on account OF snow.
1.-The most accessible passes and
the ones that are open the latest in
the fall and are the first opened in
the spring. between the eastern and
western parts of the state, lie at the
head of this route. But the present
across Blue Mesa-on the opposite
side of the Gunnison river-cannot be
opened in the spring from four to six
weeks after the road is opened and
being travelled across the Cochetopa
and Poncha passes.
"The road across the Blue Mesa is
not susceptible of being improved to
the extent of making it available for
travel earlier in the spring or later
The Delta independent., 1923-02-23

in the spring and is a matter of con-
siderable expense in clearing the road
every season.
"The only possible chance to get a
road through this country which could
be made passable at the time Coche-
topa and Poncha passes are open is a
road from Sapinero west above the
rim of Black Canon of the Gunnison
river, and below the top of Black
Mesa. This alone is not particularly
rough, consisting principally of earth
and small boulders which have eroded
from the higher country and formed
could be readily constructed, and
which for the greater part of its dis
tance would lie directly towards the
south and would receive the full bene-
fit of the sun in melting the snow in
the spring.
The first eight miles out of Sapi-
nero the line would follow the present
road more or less where it was prac-
tical, and all that would be necessary
would be to widen the present road
From Curicanti creek west an entire
ly new road would have to be con-
structed for eighteen to twenty miles
to a connection with state road No.
46. about a mile west of its present
crossing of Crystal creek.
THE cheapest way to construct this
road would be by the use of steam
shovels. While the greater part of
the material would be classified as
common, it consists of 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 3O-foot bridge. There is
an abundance of red spruce on the
mesa and a sawmill to cut it. and
material for bridges and drains could
be secured at reasonable cost.
BY using a steam shovel and a
small outfit of teams, l figure this
road could be built for s150.00O to
SITS, 1000. This new construction would
entail the building of from twenrysiX
to twenty-eight miles of new road and
would be from 500 to 1000 feet lCNst
in elevation than the present road
The rise and fall would be sligh; and
the grades easy"

Corn More Valuable Than Currency.

Boxes of American grits are pass
ing as currency in Georgia, Armenia.
Azerbaijan and the Russia OF the Cau-
casus. The laborers of these coun-
tries will not take a job to be paid in
currency of the country, but 10000 Of
them are laboring earnestly on road
building, farming and sanitation for
two and half pounds of grits week.
This is said to be worth more than a
basket of rubles.

The Black Mesa Road

in the fall, due to its northern ex-
posure and the topography, there be
ing series of ridges extending to
the north over which the wind blows
the snow during the winter season
and piles it on the road in drifts of
from fifteen to twenty feet deep.
