The pool la free to children two daya each week and approximately four hundred season tickets are held by children and adults each 7aar. The flrat lawna and ahruba were planted in 1924, and during the next two or three yeara tha entire area in tha vicinity of Moyer pool was landacapad tha old board fence and sheda removed the area filled and graded; walks and roadways laid out; water lines laid; trees, ahruba and lawm planted; playground equipment In-Stalled, and It began to take on some semblance of a park.

Tha present golf course started from a very modest beginning in 1921 when an additional 40 acrea was added to the park and a ntna-hole course was laid out with "skinned" fairways and aand greens. The turf football field and cinder track ware constructed in 192S, and a atadlum waa reconstructed from material from a part of the old fair grounds grand stsnd In 1930. In 1ISS flood lights were Installed, and night football became popular and mora than doubled the attendance at the games. Additional lights are set up each rear for two soft ball diamonds on this field. The 19SI softbsll season waa by far the most successful of any in local aoftball history.

Beer Donated The too got Its start with the donation of a cub bear In 1926. Thla cub proved auch an attraction that other animals were obtained and better housing facilities ware provided. A atona structure with open pens In front and heated dena In the rear provtdaa com- fortabta quarters for two cages of monkeys, aa African lion, and a mountain lion. Tha African lion, obtained from a cireua la 1917, when it was a cub, la developing Into a fine specimen and la quite comfortable in the quarters which had to be reconstructed to provide for his rapid growth. Three large steel peas with stone dens and swimming tanka provide housing for several fine specimen of beer.

In other csgee are coyotes, bobeata, racoons, woodchucks, squirrels, and other amsll animals. The stoat recent addition waa a bobcat donated by the biological surrey. The auditorium hat a clear floor apace 10 by 110 feat. It waa built in 1913, a large portion of the material nsed tn construction being salvaged from old fair ground buildings. It la equipped with a stage, and a locker and shower room.

This building Is used quite extensively for dances, boxing and wrestling bouts, basketball, and many public gath. erlngs. It Is also being used aa a gymnasium for Meaa collage. A first class baseball diamond with gran outfield la provided. An attractive grand stand seating about four hundred persons was reconstructed from a part of the old grand stand.

The first taenia courts wer built la about 1918 and were surfaced with a sand-clay mixture. Two asphalt aurfaced courts were constructed In 1919 and la 191C two additional court! were constructed and aurfaced with asphalt. Tha original two courts ware also aurfaced thus providing six hard-surfaced courts Lincoln park la always a popular place for plcknlekera during the summer months, and the many shaded areas are la great demand. The high school band gives a series of summer concerts each season and large crowds turn out for these events. Grand Junction also baa five one-bleek neighborhood parka which are always popular with children and adult.

Py LION BRUCE BROWN80N Unroin Park, located la the northeast part of Grand Junction, haa developed Into one of the finest and moat complete recreational parka to ha fonnd in an? city of similar slsa In the United 8tatet. Ita facilities now Include a nine-hole golf course, outdoor swim-mlng pool, lighted football field and elndar track, auditorium, baseball diamond. Hunted Softball diamonds, a small soo, hard sur-faced tennis courts and picnic areas. The possibilities of developing a park of this type was first seen in 1117 when the propoaal to pur. chase tha old Fair Grands waa placed on the ballot, and bonds ware voted for Ita purchase.

This 4n.cre tract entirely aurrounded by a high board fence had long bean nsed aa a fair grounds. The grounds continued to be used principally for fairs and rodeos after It waa acquired by the city and It was not until 121 that plana were made to develop and improve the perk. Gives Pool The greatest Impetus for the development of Lincoln park occurred In 1122 when W. J. Moyer decided to build a swimming pool, dedicated to the children of Grand Junction and to be operated by th elty.

Lincoln park waa chosen as the alte, and the pool waa rushed te completion and dedicated In June, 1122. Thla magnificent gift by Mr. Moyer really atarted the improvement of Lincoln park and sold the citizens of Grand Junction on tha Idea of developing a recreational park.

Values vary from day to day and from month to month but would not be far amiss as an estimate ef its wholesale value. The western slope la responsible for about 10 per cent, 2,112, -(00 pounds "ht thla volume. The value of the western the cross breed Is much superior to ordinary beef cattle. A ahorthorn herd, formerly owned by Mr.
