aroused yet to the great importance to
Gunnison county and the Western Slope
Of the Western Slope Congress to as
ssmbls at Delta the coming fall. 1t has
seemingly been forgotten or neglected
and at the meeting OF the executive COM
mittse in Grand Junction last Saturday
Gunnison was not represented. This
committee paved the way for great good
70 come to the Western Slope by induc-
ing the general passenger agents Of the
Rio Grande and Midland roads to grant
excursion rates to homo seekers for all
points west Of Gunnison and Leadville,
allowing stop -ovsrs. There can be no
question that this will bring hundreds
and possibly Thousands Of people to the
Western Slope in the next twelve months
who are hunting homes, and will result
IN heavy growth for the rich empire on
the sunset side Of the Continental divide.
Gunnison must wake up and grid on her
sword-she has interests at stake in this
grand revival. At the next session Of
the congress We must be represented by
the best and most progressive men in
the county and show our sister counties
that We are with them at all times.-
