The discovery of gilsonite on the
north side of the Eagle river at Gyp.
sum has created somewhat of an ex T.

was found near the surface and is four
feet wide being in shale and lime

John g. Curtiss picked sixty gal
Ions of cherries from one tree this
week, selling some of them and posi-
bly, all for twenty five cents per gal
lon. Cherries Can he grown at a

Joe RsIston, who is one of White
rivers pioneers, was in Sunday shak-
ing hands with his numerous towL
friends Notwithstanding his bad
shaking up (of some time ago) Joe

physical manhood and advancing
years don't seem to have any effect on
him. May his shadow never grow,

D. A. R. Craig of Mesa tells MS that
he expects to go east this fall with an
exhibit of Plateau Valley products
which he will display in various towns
of Kansas and Iowa, with view of
inducing an influx of settlers from
those states. This is one sort of ad-
veItisine which pays and we predict
that the doctors trip will accomplish
more than he would dare expect. -

r. P. Davis came over from Garden
City, Kansas, last week and thorough
ly inspected the beet crop. He was
highly pleased and said the beets in
his vicinity are ahead of any he had

and Loveland, considered the garden
spots of the west. Let's every bod,
wake up now and boost a little. =

There is gang of boys here who
stand mighty good show of going t.
the reform school at no distant date
unless halt is called in their depre
dations. Saturday last they event

administered now may save whole
lot of trouble in the future. New

Work on the water works was sus-
pended this week pending the arriva
of new force of laborers. On Thurs
day, Contractor Ford came in with 6
force of Japs, and it is now hoped the
work will proceed without further in
terruption. A good deal of dis
content at delay was beginning tc
manifest itself among our citizens
They don't relish the idea of paying
interest on the bond issue and being
without the use Of water. -Meekel

Too bad, isn't it. George Foster
the piano man, had hard tussls
with bear short time ago in the
Gunnison canon. He was out there
fishing and while plying his rod was
dismayed to see big brown beal
making for him. He struck 2:2(

because he owned the bear; it wal
tame and wanted to play with him
