A modern dental office, such as is maintained by the Ramsey Dentists, offers similar advantages to people in need of dental work. Our reasonable pncea plua the additional saving made possible by our reduced operating expenses will pleasantly surprise you. Here you may consult dentists experienced in prosthetic dentistry, extraction experts, dentists who excel in the art as well as the science of making crowns and bridge work; in fact, the advice of my entire staff may be had with an estimate of the cost of anr dental work you require without placing you under the slightest obligation. -- r Road Money Appropriated.

RAMSEY About February 20 the leaders reached the Slick rocke, probably the worst iretch on ths route tor roadmaking, consisting of great knobs and hummocks of sandstone, jumbled together and riven with crevices, the whole field a half mile serosa being tilted at a sharp angle, A roadway had to be literally chiseled and blasted through this region, as box canyons prevented getting around It, It required eight days of hard work to carve the chute through thla unique region, and the whole caravan practically slid through it on February 21 to the sand dune district below. One wagon was broken and abandoned here, where It remained as a monument for thirty-seve- n years, giving of Its Irons year after year to cow men for branding Irons, and of 11a wood for other necessary materials. On February 28 the caravan reached Hermit lake, that Is, the leaders of tha line did, for the party was generally strung out over many miles, making such progress as ths Impoverished animals could be forced to make. This lake was produced by a spring and stream having been dammed and backed up In n Cottonwood canyon by a dam or ridge, which diked the ravine thirty or forty feet, forming a reservoir or lake a half mile long. The Indiana called It Pagahrit, or standing water, and while It still appears tinder one name or the other on most maps, ths dam win, out with a flood six or seven years ago, and ths beautiful lake with Its wil'nwa, rushes, canes, grass and ducks.

Ail of them felt that the whole hunger harassing experience must be terminated as promptly as possible st any cost. The first wagona got off ths Clnv hills about March 12, the last following a couple of davs later, according to Albert e R Lyman, who haa gleaned much unwritten historical data from living pioneers of San Juan.
