JUNCTION MAN SAYS BLUE
MESA ROAD BEST EVER

Grand Junction News
Coly S. Wilson, patrolman in the
Pleatean canon and operating for the
county under the direction of Com
missioner Charles Jones, reports a
507 mile auto trip that was worth
while. He followed the Ocean to
Ocean highway along the main line
of the Denver & Rio Grande Western
to Salida and back over the Rainbow
route, via Gunnison and Montrose.
He carried tent and full camp equip
ment, SO that he was pretty well
loaded but in spite of that he burned
only % gallons of gasoline. That
makes an average of just little
more than 20 miles to the gallon.
His object in reporting this was not
to advertise the make Of car that he
drove, or the brand of gasoline that
he burned, but the virtues Of the road
over, which he travelled. It sounds
like taking in lot Of territory, but
he solemnly averred that he did not
encounter bad road on the trip. He
was especially strong in his eulogy
Of the Blue Mesa road, stating that
he had never seen It in such good
condition. In general, he was very
enthusiastic for Colorado roads.

Criqui plays a double role. He ar

into the ring himself and quickly
disposes of his double, while Eudel-
inc surprises the crooked manager
in the act of making away with the
gate receipts. He compels him to
to hand them over to Criquis dou-
Bile who was only the unwilling in

The formerly unsaleable film was
