the eighth grade fully prepared to
enter high school and do creditable
work.
On this part of the mesa an active
community club has been working for
the past year individuals working to-

Surface Creek Mesa, located north
east of Delta, is recognized by all
familiar with Delta County as one of
the most productive and desirable
parts of the Western Slope of Colo
RADIO. Watered by Surface creek and
it's tributaries, having it's head on
Grand Mesa, and by water from a
great system of reservoirs, the land
brings forth great crops of alfalfa,
corn, small grain, potatoes, small
fruits, and the orchards produce ap-
pies and peaches the equal of any
grown. The many natural advantages
combine to make the mesa one of
attractive and prosperous homes.
The village of Eckert is located
some twelve miles northeast of Delta
on the main surfaced road leading to
Cedaredge, which extends the full
length of the mesa, making communi-
cation with the outside world and the
movement of farm products much
simpler matter than it was few
years ago before the advent of motor
trucks and good roads. An excellent
twelve grade school system, employ
ing eight teachers, centers at Eckert,
where the high school with an enroll
ment of sixty-five pupils is situated.
Mail is received daily by the stage
and the Eckert postoffice is a very
busy place, handling a large volume
of both first class mail and parcel
post packages.
A. L. Reynolds conducts general
merchandise business which attracts
patrons from miles around. His stock
is always complete and offered at
prices which have enabled him to
compete with merchants of neighbor-
ing towns. Mr.. Reynolds also oper-
ates the Surface Creek Creamery,
where the Mountain Maid" and
Grand Mesa Gold brands of butter are
manufactured. The quality of the but
ter is unsurpassed, being made from
first quality cream in strictly mod
ern creamery, which is a model of

pipe line to supply domestic water to
the homes of the vicinity. AS a result
the pipe line has been in use almost
without an hours interruption for al
most eight years. The water is OBJ
tanned through the mains of the Cedar
edge water system, coming from Sur.
face creek above that town and filter
ed through a gravel filter before enter
ing the pipes. The quality and purity
of. the water is excellent and the fall
of the pipe, following the contour of
the country, gives ample pressure. 1t
is difficult indeed to estimate the value
of this pipe line to the people it

to the door, which may be had for the
turning of faucet and the payment
of reasonable monthly rental. The
orchards provide delicious fruit for all
occasions. Cheap coal and wood as
sures warmth for all. Telephones and
automobiles make communication and
intercourse with the outside world
easy. Excellent churches provide re-
ligious training and the opportunity
for worship of God. The schools
bring educational advantages to the
children and in these institutions the
opportunity for service is unbounded.
Fraternal organizations and commun-

of their members and add much to the
possibilities of life. Neighborng
mountains furnish inviting fields for
recreation. and by just simply being
there, towering in their majesty above
the valleys, are a constant source of
inspiration. All these things sur
rounded by the unequalled Colorado
climate, warmed by the brilliant Colo
RADIO sunshine. lead one to believe that
the people of Surface Creek Mesa are
fortunate indeed.
In the future lie many things pos
sible of accomplishment BY working
together economic conditions may be
benefited. Better schools may be had
by means of consolidation. Water
power sites may be developed and
made to furnish light and power at a
reasonable cost to every home in the
valley. 1t is even conceivable that by
united effort the people of the West
ern Slope may have at some time in
the future a railroad worthy of the
name.

neatness and cleanliness. About 1000
pounds of butter per month are manu-
factured. At the close of the year
1922 the creamery was paying 43 cents
per pound for butter fat, and through
the agency of the creamery many hun
dreds of dollars are finding their way
into the pockets of the farmers. Many
people believe that Surface Creek
Mesa will one day be a great dairy
country. This development like many
others must await the improvement
of the railroad transportation situa-
tion, in order that Western Slope but
ter may find place in the markets of
the country and compete with that
from other sections.

BROKERS TAKE BULL
SIDE OF MARKET
Week Finds Many Switching From
Bearish Opinions-Public
More Interested.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 21.-Marked
improvement in speculative opinion
was indicated in trading on the New
York Stock Exchange during the
week, the course of stock prices
turning definitely upward, with a
resultant switch to the bull side by
several commission houses which
have been strongly bearish.
There was a noticeable increase in
public interest, as shown in the
larger volume Of sales, and re-
newaI of talk of recapitalization
plans and industrial mergers, always
an accompaniment of a bull market.
Commodity markets also recorded
moderate improvement.
Market observers were inclined to
credit the turn upward to the in
fuence of a growing belief in new
plans for settling the Ruhr occupa-
tion problem. but other factors also
entered into the more optimistic
sentiment among investors and pro-
fessional traders. These included the
voicing of faith in future business
by Stewart Warner directors, who
placed that company's definitely on
10 per cent dividend basis; the
declaration of an extra dividend on
the preferred stock of Republic Steel,
and reported increase in orders
for steel.
