The county road crew, under the direction of Henry Honaker, started work this week on an extensive piece of road improvement down the Dolores River below McPhee. The road will be six miles in length and will extend from McPhee to the mouth of Beaver Creek. It will be done primarily to facilitate the hauling of logs from the timber country north of McPhee and will be of tremendous benefit to the farmers and stockmen operating in that section.
*******************
A car driven by C. W. Carley, of Rico, ran off the bridge at the Boglino place, about five miles above Dolores, last Saturday and several of its occupants received a bad shaking up.
*******************
The road booster dance given at Rico last Saturday was a success fully up to the expectations of its promoters. The sum of $95.15 was realized from the dance and supper and this will be used to help defray the expenses of sending a delegation to Denver to try to get some federal relief money for construction of a section of road between Rico and Dolores.
