The new National System of Interstate and Defense highways will bring a new concept of highway transportation to America. This system, a 41,000 mile network of heavy duty roads, will foster greater economic and social growth and strengthen our vital defense lines. This system should be built with tee highest ? standards of design and construction to carry the heaviest volumes of automobile and truck / traffic safely. While other roads * throughout the nation will also be modernized or built - under the vast program, both state and federal engineers are expected to rebuild and improve existing routes. It is hoped that 1970 will see the completion of this network of roads and the dawn of a wonderful era of travel. ■ ♦ ‘ o o .■■ ■ Remember way back when the hue and cry was—juvenile delinquency? Many communities have attacked the problem with foresight and intelligence, providing adequate recreation facilities, using common sense in serving up penalties, and generally reserving the most severe indictments for tee adults who made these irregularities possible. The churches, schools, and the homes have assumed their collective responsibilities to such an extent that we are approaching an irreduceible minimum. Parents, teachers, and church officials have done a great - job. Finally, we cannot overlook the fact that the teenagers have raised their sights and have done a lot of lifting for themselves. - • -o o It is encouraging to learn that contracts for future construction are at a 83.4 billion level which is fourteen per cent above the , same date for 1956. May increas:es brought the cumulative total ; four per cent above the first five months of last year. Planned highway improvements in addition to these totals seem to indicate a continuation erf our highlevel economy. When or how a leveling off will arrive is not even being guessed. Supply and demand economics appear to be outdated. —e——o— Most of the late planting appears to be finished and the first

harvesting has already begun. Hay, wheat, and oats crops will not set any records but our Adams county farmers will do better than most of the otters. It would be difficult to find more know-how or more industry than here in our locality. Year in and year out the proof can be found in the optimism of these splendid people and a large part is due to their fundamental Christian practices. o o ' - The most important function, of mother is to make a good home and give loving care to her brood. There is no limit to her capacity for making her' family comfortable and happy. They are the real homemakers. Mother Nature also graciously supervises as a gentle matriarch. We have all been granted the best in motherhood, let’s help at home as well as out in the abundance of nature. O -o “When children take their place as members of the family instead of star performers in the thinking of parents, they are never such a great problem,” quoth one of the psychologists. A little routine makes it possible for the youngsters to appreciate free time after chores which can easily be assigned in a family council. A little routine can be healthy for the mind and spirit of all of us. o -O While our ornithology has been slighted, we have enjoyed the efforts of a mother robin to care for one*of her babies. Where in the world she can find all those worms one can't imagine. The dogs and cats are lured to other parts while the young robin must be chuckling at their stupidity. Natiure has provided these birds with a canniness that is not found in humans. o—o Miss Legora who was recently elected to the chairmanship of the general duty nurses association, is a former Decatur high school student. It is pleasing to note that further recognition has come her way and we know that she will discharge her responsibilities in a creditable manner.

WHAT IS HAPPENING _ Will Beeson is telling the story. He Ilves on the Box P Ranch in Easter Valley in frontier Colorado with Joe and Sarah Pardee. They took him In. a homeless, hungry kid, seven years back. Will, having the deepest affection for the Pardees, is distressed by the bitterness between Joe and his wife, Sarah, who has lived in a wheel •chair since an accident Joe resists Sarah’s effort* to curb his aggressiveness against persons who challenge his domination of Easter Valley and particularly against settler* who try to Claim land there. On this morning Will Is riding with Joe Pardee and Gene Dillingham, another of Joe's cowhands. Gene idolises Joe and hates Sarah because of her bitterness toward Joe. The three men are going to meet young Al Beam, who has challenged Joe to a showdown. ... CHAPTER 2 I SAW Carlton ahead of us, a sprawling cluster of houses just below the junction of the East and West forks of Easter Creek. South of town were the covered wagons, seven of them, belonging to farmers who had left the Arkansas River a week before and made the long pull up Easter Canyon to the valley. They couldn’t settle here, and I’m sure they knew it, for Joe’s reputation was known miles away. But they had come,. staying close’ to their camp after Joe called on them. Then Al Beam had come and made his Challenge. Now, thinking about him, I de- ’ cided there was no question about why he was here, A brash kid, he knew it would establish him in business if he killed Joe Pardee, but I figured it was more than that. The farmers must haVe sent for him and paid him to kill Joe because none of, them had either the guts or the gun skill to have any show against him; I, Will Beeson, was confused by my own emotions,-seeing some truth in Joe’s stand and some in Sarah’s. He had killed men to hold land which was not his, public domain that legally could be homesteaded. That was theory, any way you looked at it Actually, farmers could not make a living even on the best land in the valley. It was too high, the growing season too short, the weather too uncertain. On the other hand, Easter Valley was cattle country, the best. Joe proved that, every fall when we rounded up a herd of steers and drove to Canon City or Leadville and sold at top prices. Joe was practical, all right. To him a gun was an expedient way of settling any question as difficult as this. As far as he was concerned, the law was on the wrong side. There was nothing new about this issue. Still, it was vital to me because it had separated Joe and Sarah. Sarah would do exactly as she had said she would. She had tro place to go, and no tooney; she’d starve, but she’d leave, and Dogbonc and Maria would go with her. If Sarah really loved Joe, she C Wayn* D, Over holser 1906. From "41

Mrs. David Yoder, 65, died suddenly of a stroke of apoplexy at her home in French township. The executive and finance committees of the Decatur Free Street Fair met to discuss plans for the annual fair latejr this summer. Adams Post 43. American Legion, will hold a fireworks display at Hanna-Nuttman park the evening of July 5 in observance of Independence Day. At the Cameron Creek ruins, in southwestern New Mexico, archaeologists found a series of “burial jars" used by the Mimbrenes Indians. These prehistoric people placed a large jar in the grave of the deceased and then drilled a hole through thp base so the spirit of the jar would escape with the soul of the dead.

would believe in what he believed, : or at least close her eyes to what . she considered wrong. That was a wife’s duty, it seemed to me. I had never been in love, but I thought 1 knew how it would be. Many times I had mentally pictured the girl I would love. She . was just like Sarah except that she was fifteen years younger and less inclined to have her own way. If she loved me, she would do anything for me just as I would for her. Now the town was directly ahead of us, with a narrow bridge spanning the creek. Not a word had been spoken since we left the ranch. Kathy Morgan’s house, was to our right, the only house this side of the bridge. Kathy’s place, a white cottage with a picket fence, had always ; attracted men. She sold liquor and she had a poker table in her front room where men 'played 1 every Saturday night until sunup. But I had never been in het; ' house. Joe said: "You boys go on. If you see Beam, tell him I'll be along.*’ He left us. turning toward Kathy's house. Gene and 1 crossed the bridge, dismounted, and tied in front of the livery stable. Carlton wasn’t much of a town. Art Delaney’s General Store was across the street from us. There was a vacant lot next to it, then the hotel, another empty space, and the church. . On our side of the street was a blacksmith shop beside’ the livery stable; next to it was a vacant store and beyond that the schoolhouse. On to the west were a few houses, most of them small and plain. That was Carlton, strung out along a single street that was often ankle-deep with dust, or deeper still with mud,, without sidewalks or lawns or shade trees.,, As long as cattle held the valley, the town would be no different. About twenty people made their homes there, living, either directly or indirectly, off the surrounding ranches. Carlton would never be any bigger. Like a water-soaked sponge, the valley reached the saturation point and could not ; give a kving to another man. If the valley could noi grow, neither ■ could the .town. i As I stood beside Dillingham : in front of the livery stable, I : noticed five then sitting on the benches in ,front of the store. ; watching us while they pretended not to. They were strangers, i farmers who owned the wagons : in the grove. Though I hadn’t I seen them before, I kn:w who f they- were. A farmer in the cat- ! tie country always looks like a > farmer. The difference between I these and the ones who had come t and gone was that the others had looked at, Joe Pardee, and listened •. and left, while these men had the novel published by Macmillan Co.

looked and listened, and sent for Al Beam. Suddenly I was mad. Because they had brought in Al Beam, they had caused the final break between Joe and Sarah Pardee. Beam was not in sight. He was probably in the hotel waiting for Joe. My anger turned to fury as 1 thought about it. ( Joe was risking his life for all the other ranchers in the valley, but the "punkin rollers” who sat across the street were risking nothing except the money they had paid Al Beam. They were confident that, once Joe Pardee was dead, there would be no trouble. . More wagons would grind up Easter Canyon until there wasn’t a blade of grass left between the Cedar Hills and the Sangre de Cristo range. I said, “Let’s get them out of here, Gene.” He grinned. ”1 was thinking the same. I get a bellyache just lookin’ at ’em.” We crossed the street, swaggering a little, I guess. None of them were armed. They got up, scared, but trying to hide it One of them said: “No trouble now.XWe’re just sitting here.” "Waiting to see the show?” I asked. "Hoping Al Beam will gun. » Joe Pardee down?” “Allvve'want is our legal right to —” one of them began. “Legal right, the . devil!” I didn’t like him. I didn’t like any of them. “Either way there’ll be a killing, and you’ll never get the blood off your hands.” -. . . . Dillingham had no patience for talk. He motioned toward the grove. “Git! Pronto! You’ve got an hour to roll your wheels.” They stood there a moment, trying to hold their ground, perhaps hbt quite sure whether we were bluffing or not. But in the end they didn’t have enough nerve to find out. They walked away and disappeared around the corner of the store, shoulders stooped. "Yellow’,” Dillingham said in disgust. I didn’t say anything, but it seemed to me that two men with, guns on their hips should be able to handle five W’ho didn't. They were just showing a little common sense. Beam came out of the store and stood looking at us, hands in his pants pockets as he rocked back and forth on his heels. He was young, with a coyote-sharp fa<;e and a pitiful hint of mustache that looked like a faint smudge across his upper lip. I ' noticed his pale blue eyes in particular. Though he appeared to be looking at me, he wasn’t. His starr' seemed to slip past me. “Tough cowhands,” he said. “Real tough.” “Tough enough,” Dillingham said.
