NOT HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
FOR GUNNISON TUNNEL

A dispatch from Washington yes
tertIay states that the passage of u
bill to grant homestead settlers un-
der the GunnisOn tunnel irrigation
project leaves of absence from their
claims until the completion of the
tunnel is looked upon as hopeless by
Senator Teller. He has written let
ters to the business Mems Associa-
ton of Delta and the Commercial
Association of Montrose enclosing
letter received from Secretary Gar
field by the chairman of the public
lands committee, who referred the
bill TO him.
"You will see." says Senator Tel
Ter, that the department is hostile
to the bill, and I believe it hostile
to anything and everything that will
open land for public occupation. The
great desire of the secretary of the
interior is to bring as much land as
possible into forest reserves SO that
it can be put under the regulation of
the department
Senator Teller says that. while he
is doubtful of the passage of the bill,
he intends to use every effort to
pass it. He says that the interior
department goes on the theory that
everyone wants to steal something
from the government and that no
settler is acting in good faith.
The letter of Garfield calls. atten-
ton to the fact that many settlers
have done no work on their claims.
and the passage of the bill would
open the way to frauds.
Senator Guggenheim has taken up
with the president the matter of
Fastening the construction of the
Gunnison tunnel, but has met with
no encouragement.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST,
SHOWS OF THE YEAR.

+ Messrs. Miller and Phlom +
+ who revived and. exploited 1.-The +
+ Black Crook" last season, and +
+ again send it on tour the COM +
+ ing theatrical year, believe that +
+ they have discovered the one +
+ spot in the United States where +
+ progress is at a standstill. +
Forty years ago when 'The
Crook was first given to an expect
ant public it was all the fashion of
the then yellow clergy to roast"
''The Black Crook" 1t was gratui-
tous advertising and brought many
dollars to the Golfers of old Niblo's
theatre on Lower Broadway. 1t was
not believed, however. in these en-
lightened days, that anyone would
think of taking exception to this
harmless entertainment, which, in
comparison to the modern musical
comedy, bears some resemblance to
a religious tract. 1t remained for
Charlotte, North Carolina. to dis
cover that 1.-THE Black Crook was
wicked. Last season, when the ad-
vance agent arrived in that burg and
put up his glaring posters the min
listers and one of the daily news
papers arose in their righteousness
and denounced the entertainment as
one unfit to be witnessed by the cit
liens of that virtuous city. The
mayor and chief of police were with
the movement but instead of stop
ping the performance outright they
decided to visit the theatre in person
to see that no immoralities were
committed. which they did on comp
limentaryy tickets. AS result of the
agitation, 1.-THE Black Crook" played
in Charlotte to the largest audience
ever in the local theatre and Messrs.
Miller and Phlom have booked the
town.

Evidently the fact that The Sen

of the great base ball games over
the country the same day the games
are played and twelve hours before
the Morning Yellow announces the
results, is worrying the Yellow con-
siderably, judging from the howl that
went up this morning and the silly
attempt to discredit the base ball

but The Sentinel is giving the re-
suits just the same, and the service
is pleasing the people.
